東生華(TW-8432)今(18)宣布一項重大進展,全世界第一個以鼻噴給藥方式治療乾眼症的星特潤®TYRVAYA®乾眼症噴鼻液,已獲得台灣衛生福利部食品藥物管理署的新藥取證通知,這是東生華今年內成功取得的第二個藥品上市核可。
東生華總經理楊思源表示,星特潤®TYRVAYA® 於2021年通過美國食品藥物管理局(FDA)新藥許可證並成功上市,這款由美國製藥公司Oyster Point Pharma研發的新藥,將為台灣乾眼症患者帶來突破性的治療選擇。去年,東生華通過與箕星藥業的策略合作,迅速展開星特潤®TYRVAYA®在台灣的查驗登記與商業化運作,歷經不到一年即取得藥證,顯示東生華在新藥引進和市場拓展上的效率和執行力。
乾眼症是一種複雜且多因素導致的眼表疾病,表現為淚膜受損,嚴重影響患者的生活品質。東生華所推出的星特潤®TYRVAYA®,屬於一種高選擇性的膽鹼受體促效劑,可促進天然淚液的分泌。在臨床試驗中,參與的1403名乾眼症患者在使用星特潤®TYRVAYA®兩週後,症狀和癥兆即有所改善,持續使用四週後,天然淚液分泌量仍顯著增加,顯示出該產品在提升患者生活品質上的強大潛力。
楊思源總經理引用《財富商業洞察》(Fortune Business Insights)的數據指出,全球乾眼症治療市場預計在2030年將達到113億美元,預測年複合成長率為7%。而根據台灣衛福部的資料統計,全台乾眼症門診就醫人數在近10年間激增七成,顯示市場需求日益攀升。
在現有治療手段效果有限的情況下,我們期待星特潤®TYRVAYA®乾眼症噴鼻液在台上市後,能為乾眼症患者帶來革命性的改變,並進一步提升公司的市場競爭力。
