Takeda-Affymax miss window to market peginesatide ESA in Japan
The window shut

Published on Monday, January 2, 2012
In 2006, Takeda
Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. and Affymax
Inc. signed a pair of partnerships to combine the resources and access
of a Japanese pharma with the innovation of a U.S. biotech in order to exploit
market opportunities in Asia and the West.
The deals were built around
Affymax's peginesatide, a pegylated synthetic peptide-based
erythropoiesis-stimulating agent that the companies expected to offer efficacy
and safety similar to marketed ESAs with the added benefit of less frequent
dosing and consequent cost savings.
