Seikagaku reported FY 1Q21 orthopedic revenue of USD $33.3 million, +14.4% vs. FY 1Q20. Marketshare gains in the U.S. and China drove the growth, while domestic sales in Japan decreased due to pricing reductions and ordering patterns.
In June 2021, Seikagaku issued a Dear Healthcare Professionals Letter of Rapid Safety Communication (Blue Letter) in response to “multiple reports of shock or anaphylaxis occurring in patients following administration of JOYCLU.” That product is a 30mg Intra-articular Injection, a joint function improvement agent, for which Seikagaku received manufacturing and marketing approval in Japan in 1Q21. The company and its partner Ono Pharmaceutical continue gathering information on side effects.
