Kyowa Kirin is a Japanese biopharmaceutical company whose oncology products include mogamulizumab (Poteligeo) for cutaneous T-cell lymphoma and toremifene (Fareston) for metastatic breast cancer.
Kyowa Kirin, based in Tokyo, listed as 4151.T and part of the Kirin group, is a Japanese biopharmaceutical company whose oncology products include mogamulizumab, sold as Poteligeo, for cutaneous T-cell lymphoma and toremifene, sold as Fareston, for metastatic breast cancer. It developed the anti-CCR4 antibody mogamulizumab, markets Fareston in the United States, and also sells burosumab as Crysvita and G-CSF products in Japan. OnCo links it to the toremifene drug record. Whether a CCR4 antibody can find uses beyond rare T-cell lymphomas is the open question for its oncology franchise. Toremifene has its own page.
Mogamulizumab is an antibody that clears cancerous T cells from the blood in mycosis fungoides and Sézary syndrome, the leukaemic form of skin lymphoma.
Toremifene (Fareston) is a tamoxifen-like tablet for postmenopausal women with hormone-sensitive breast cancer that has spread.
Crysvita is an antibody for a rare bone-softening condition in which the body leaks phosphate. Some small tumours cause it by making too much of a hormone called FGF23; when the tumour cannot be found or removed, Crysvita blocks the hormone.
