Fujirebio and Eisai have advanced their partnership to accelerate the development and commercialization of diagnostic methods for neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Leveraging Fujirebio’s expertise in test reagents for neurodegenerative diseases and Eisai’s experience in dementia therapeutics, the collaboration aims to integrate their respective strengths. Key areas of focus include clinical implementation of diagnostic reagents for plasma phosphorylated tau 217 protein (p-Tau217), development of blood-based biomarker diagnostics, and commercialization of in vitro diagnostics.
This non-exclusive partnership seeks to establish diagnostic technologies addressing high unmet needs in neurodegenerative diseases, with plans to expand these solutions globally. By creating tools that enable earlier and more precise diagnosis, the collaboration strives to improve treatment selection and outcomes for patients, advancing care and management of these conditions.
Fujirebio, part of H.U. Group Holdings Inc., is a global leader in in-vitro diagnostic (IVD) testing with over 50 years of experience. It was the first company to commercialize cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers for AD testing and offers a comprehensive portfolio of neurodegenerative disease assays. Fujirebio continues to pioneer innovations in diagnostics worldwide.
Eisai is committed to improving health and reducing disparities under its human health care (hhc) Concept. With a global network, Eisai focuses on developing innovative neurology and oncology treatments. It also supports the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through initiatives to eliminate neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) alongside global partners.
