Sumitomo Pharmaceuticals America Begins Operations
Established in November 1999, the new US subsidiary is responsible for supporting clinical development, licensing, strategic partnerships and additional forms of collaboration and consulting. It also engages in the gathering and analysis of pharmacoregulatory information and other industry data. The immediate focus will be the clinical development of SM-13496, an anti-schizophrenia medication, and Dops, a noradrenergic psychoneurological agent, with the goal of gaining approval from FDA at the earliest possible date. In Europe, the first chemical is in phase I clinical trials and the second in phase III.
Sumitomo Pharmaceuticals America joins with our European subsidiary, Sumitomo Pharmaceuticals UK Limited, established in London in 1997, to complete the company's three-zone global development structure comprising Japan, Europe and the USA. The new organization is expected to accelerate our future development efforts.
The New York Representative Office of Sumitomo Pharmaceuticals will close upon the completion of required procedural matters.
