Urocross 於今年 3 月取得美國 FDA 510(k) 上市許可,並於 10 月完成美國首例商業應用。
醫材廠益安生醫(6499)今日公告,旗下良性攝護腺肥大(BPH)創新微創治療醫材Urocross正式取得台灣上市許可,為產品全球市場布局再添重要里程碑。
這是Urocross繼今年3月取得美國食品藥物管理局(US FDA)510(k)上市許可、並於10月完成美國首例商業應用後,Urocross進一步取得台灣上市許可。
Urocross本次取得台灣衛生福利部食品藥物管理署(TFDA)上市許可,其臨床實證的療效與安全性建立於Expander-1可行性試驗及Expander-2跨國多中心樞紐臨床試驗,其中Expander-1有部分試驗就在台灣進行。曾參與Expander-1臨床試驗、中國醫藥大學附設醫院泌尿部主任黃志平表示:「使用Urocross進行試驗治療的經驗顯示,患者不僅排尿症狀有所改善,術中併發症也較少,短期性支架取出後,仍可維持長時間的排尿改善效果。這項技術也為不適合長期服藥、或擔心傳統手術影響性功能的患者,帶來新的治療契機。」
益安表示,順利取得台灣上市許可後,團隊將進一步推進Urocross在國內醫療體系的導入準備,同步進行產品供應、銷售通路及專業教育訓練等相關工作。公司期望透過完善市場導入的各項準備,促進醫療專業人員對產品特性與臨床證據的理解,穩紮穩打、逐步建立產品在台灣醫療環境的應用基礎。
