Takeda files Japanese NDA for H. Pylori combo

29 March 2009

Takeda Pharmaceutical has filed a New Drug Application with Japan's Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare for Lampion  (lansoprazole/amoxicillin/metronidazole) for the secondary eradication  of Helicobacter pylori.

A triple therapy with a PPI, amoxicillin and clarithromycin is the  standard treatment of first eradication of H. Pylori for gastric ulcers  or duodenal ulcers in Japan. In cases where H. pylori is still not  eradicated with this, a second triple-therapy regimen, replacing  clarithromycin with metronidazole was approved in August 2007 in  Japan.
