Eisai: Metoject Subcutaneous Injection Pen (Methotrexate) Pen-Type Autoinjector Launched In Japan

TOKYO, May 22, 2024 – (JCN Newswire) – Eisai Co., Ltd. and nippon medac Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of medac group announced today that they have launched the anti-rheumatic agent “Metoject® Subcutaneous Injection 7.5mg Pen 0.15mL, 10mg Pen 0.20mL, 12.5mg Pen 0.25mL and 15mg Pen 0.30mL” (methotrexate, “MTX”), in Japan. The product received manufacturing and marketing approval in Japan on February 15, 2024, and was published in Japan’s National Health Insurance Drug Price List, today. Based on the license agreement signed by Eisai and medac GmbH in May 2019, nippon medac will hold the marketing authorization of Metoject, while Eisai will be responsible for product distribution of Metoject in Japan.

It is estimated that there are approximately 700,000 – 800,000 rheumatoid arthritis patients in Japan,1 and MTX is used as the first-line option for the treatment of rheumatic arthritis. Metoject Subcutaneous Injection Pen will be the first self-administrable MTX subcutaneous injection pen-type autoinjector for rheumatoid arthritis in Japan and was developed to reduce the burden on patients and improve safety during self- injection. The drug can be self-injected in two steps (1- removing the cap, 2- pressing the pen against the skin). The built-in needle cover prevents the needle from being seen before administration and automatically locks after administration to reduce accidental skin puncture risks.

“Eisai has established a solid franchise and has extensive sales experience in the rheumatoid arthritis area in Japan,” said Naoki Sawada, President of Eisai Japan. “By adding Metoject Subcutaneous Injection Pen to Eisai’s product lineup, we are making further contributions to address the diversified needs of, and increase the benefits provided to, rheumatoid arthritis patients.”

“Offering Metoject Subcutaneous Injection Pen to rheumatoid arthritis patients as a new treatment option is expected to allow them to practice safe, secure, and easy self-injection,” said Hirohisa Iriyama, Representative Director and President of nippon medac. “nippon medac will contribute to patient-centric rheumatoid arthritis treatment.”

About Metoject Subcutaneous Injection Pen (methotrexate)

Methotrexate (MTX) is positioned as the anchor drug for rheumatoid arthritis treatment.2 For rheumatoid arthritis, it is believed that MTX regulates cell growth by inhibiting folate metabolism in lymphocytes and other cells, and also has an anti-inflammatory mechanism through the promotion of adenosine synthesis in vascular endothelial cells and other cells in synovial membranes. Metoject Subcutaneous Injection Pen will be the first self- administrable MTX subcutaneous injection pen-type autoinjector for rheumatoid arthritis in Japan. It is approved in more than 18 countries in Europe.
