UCB gains approval of Rystiggo and Zilbrysq in Japan
The Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare (MHLW) has granted approval for Rystiggo (rozanolixizumab) and for Zilbrysq (zilucoplan).
Developed by Belgium’s largest pharma company, UCB (Euronext Brussels: UCB), these are treatments for generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) in adult patients (only for patients who inadequately respond to steroids or other immunosuppressants).
UCB noted that Japan is the first country in the world to approve both rozanolixizumab and zilucoplan simultaneously. This means Japanese physicians and their patients will be the first to have choice of two new targeted therapies to treat gMG from one company, delivering unique optionality and versatility.
