Ltd (“CEOLIA”) today announced the transition of promotional activities for Actair® in Japan. Actair® is Stallergenes Greer’s sublingual immunotherapy tablet for the treatment of patients suffering from house dust mite induced allergic rhinitis.

 

After ending the license agreement established in 2010 with Shionogi, which had been responsible for developing, registering, and commercialising Actair® in Japan, Stallergenes Greer has appointed CEOLIA as its new promotional partner in the country starting July 3. To ensure the continuity of both patient care and support for healthcare professionals, Shionogi will continue during a transition period to serve as the Marketing Authorisation Holder (MAH) in Japan and remain responsible for the importation, manufacturing and distribution of Actair®. Shionogi will also provide active support to CEOLIA by transferring knowledge and offering operational assistance.

 

Stallergenes Greer acknowledges Shionogi’s contribution and sustained commitment to improving allergy care in Japan. The company welcomes CEOLIA as a trusted new partner and looks forward to working closely together to further advance access to allergen immunotherapy treatments and continue to improve the quality of life of patients with respiratory allergies.
