LONDRES y TOKIO, 22 de diciembre de 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Linepharma International Ltd., líder mundial en aborto médico, anunció hoy que su subsidiaria Linepharma KK solicitó la aprobación para fabricación y comercialización en Japón para su medicamento oral MEFEEGO™, destinado a la interrupción médica de embarazos de hasta 63 días de gestación. El medicamento es reconocido como el máximo referente a nivel internacional para el aborto médico en el primer trimestrei y figura en la lista de medicamentos esenciales para el aborto de la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS).ii

Una aprobación exitosa en Japón le significaría ser el primer medicamento aprobado para el aborto médico en dicho país, lo que seguiría los lanzamientos en Australia y Canadá, y más recientemente en Corea del Sur, donde se realizará una presentación a las autoridades sanitarias a finales de este año. La píldora abortiva disponible en 80 países ha mantenido un excelente récord de seguridad en todo el mundo.iii

La combinación de los medicamentos mifepristona y misoprostol, el primer paquete combinado a nivel mundial, se conocerá en Japón como MEFEEGO™. La solicitud a la Agencia de Productos Farmacéuticos y Dispositivos Médicos (PMDA) se basa en los resultados de un ensayo clínico de Fase III llevado a cabo en Japón con 120 mujeres de 18 a 45 años de edad. Si el medicamento es aprobado, las 156.430 mujeres japonesas que se sometieron a procedimientos quirúrgicos de aborto solo en 2019 dispondrán de otra opción terapéutica en función de sus necesidades individuales.  

"Linepharma es pionera a nivel mundial en medicina para el aborto y se dedica a mejorar la salud sexual y reproductiva mediante el descubrimiento, el desarrollo y la distribución de soluciones médicas innovadoras que abarcan una combinación de medicamentos abortivos. Estamos igualmente comprometidos a trabajar en estrecha colaboración con los organismos reguladores del área sanitaria, los profesionales de la salud, los grupos de pacientes y otras partes interesadas para garantizar el acceso a opciones seguras y efectivas", sostuvo Marion Ulmann, gerente general de Linepharma International. "Nuestra solicitud de aprobación para MEFEEGO en Japón es un hito muy importante para las mujeres japonesas, quienes dispondrán por primera vez de una opción completamente nueva para el aborto".

Alrededor de 73 millones de abortos inducidos tienen lugar cada año en todo el mundo. Las estimaciones a nivel global demuestran que el 45 % de todos los abortos inducidos son riesgosos.iv Según la OMS, el aborto es una intervención médica sencilla y segura que puede ser gestionada eficazmente por una amplia gama de profesionales de la salud con el uso de medicamentos o un procedimiento quirúrgico.v

Acerca de Linepharma International Ltd.

En línea con los datos científicos más actuales y las recomendaciones de la Organización Mundial de la Salud, Linepharma suministra productos para el aborto médico en Canadá, Latinoamérica, Asia y Australia.
