About Teysuno
Teysuno was designated an orphan medicinal product by the EMA in 2007 in recognition of its development specifically to treat the rare condition of gastric cancer. Since its initial approval in Japan in 1999, Teysuno has become a standard of care there for the treatment of gastric cancer. Teysuno is also approved for patients with gastric cancer in South Korea, China, Singapore and Taiwan. Teysuno was subsequently approved in Japan for six additional indications: for the treatment of colorectal, head and neck, non-small cell lung, metastatic breast, pancreatic and biliary tract cancers. To date, Teysuno has been used by more than 870,000 patients in Japan and Asia.
