TOKYO, July 29, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Eisai Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Tokyo, CEO: Haruo Naito, “Eisai”) announced today that its in-house discovered tyrosine kinase inhibitor, “LENVIMA®” (generic name: lenvatinib mesylate), in combination with the anti-PD-1 antibody, pembrolizumab, and transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) has been approved by the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) of China for unresectable, non-metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma.This approval is based on interim analysis results from the pivotal Phase III LEAP-012 trial. The results of this trial were presented at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Annual Congress 2024 held in September 20241 and published in The Lancet in January 2025.2 In this trial, LENVIMA in combination with pembrolizumab and TACE (the "combination therapy") demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in one of the trial’s primary endpoints, progression-free survival (PFS), reducing the risk of disease progression or death by 34% (Hazard Ratio [HR]=0.66 [95% Confidence Interval (CI), 0.51-0.84]; p=0.0002) compared to TACE alone*.2 Median PFS was 14.6 months(95% CI, 12.6-16.7) in the combination therapy and 10.0 months (95% CI, 8.1-12.2) in TACE alone. 2 At this analysis, a trend toward improvement in overall survival (OS), the trial’s other primary endpoint, was observed for the combination therapy versus TACE alone (HR=0.80 [95% CI, 0.57-1.11]; p=0.087). 2237 patients received the combination therapy and 241 patients received TACE alone.2 Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) occurred in 99.6% (n=236) of patients receiving the combination therapy versus 96.7% (n=233) of patients receiving TACE alone and led to the discontinuation of both study drugs in 13.1% (n=31) versus 4.1% (n=10) of patients, respectively.2 Grade 3, 4, or 5 TEAEs occurred in 82.3% (n=195) of patients receiving the combination therapy versus 47.7% (n=115) for TACE alone and TEAEs led to death in 4.2% (n=10) versus 2.5% (n=6) of patients, respectively.2Liver cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide.3 In 2022, it was estimated there were more than 865,000 new cases globally and 367,000 in China, with more than 757,000 deaths worldwide, including 316,000 in China.3,4 China is estimated to account for more than 40% of global new cases and deaths.3,4 Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common type of liver cancer, representing approximately 90% of primary liver cancer cases.5 TACE has been a standard of care for patients with unresectable, non-metastatic HCC for many years. However, since many patients experience disease progression within one year6,7,8,9, new treatment options have been sought.LENVIMA monotherapy has been approved for the treatment of patients with unresectable HCC in more than 80 countries, including in Japan, the U.S., Europe and China and has made contributions to many patients to date. With this approval, it is expected that LENVIMA will further expand its contribution to patients with hepatocellular carcinoma in China.Eisai positions oncology as a key therapeutic area and is aiming to discover innovative new medicines with the potential to cure cancer. Eisai is committed to expanding the potential clinical benefits of lenvatinib for cancer treatment, as it seeks to contribute to addressing the diverse needs of, and increasing the benefits provided to, patients with cancer, their families and healthcare professionals.In March 2018, Eisai and Merck & Co., Inc., Rahway, through an affiliate, entered into a strategic collaboration for the worldwide co-development and co-commercialization of lenvatinib.*TACE alone: In addition to TACE, oral placebo and intravenous placebo corresponding to LENVIMA and pembrolizumab were administered.For more details, please visit: https://www.eisai.com/news/2025/pdf/enews202551pdf.pdfMedia Inquiries:Public Relations Department,Eisai Co., Ltd.+81-(0)3-3817-5120  Copyright 2025 JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Olympus to take a significant equity stake in Swan EndoSurgical with a combined initial investment of at least $65 million.Swan EndoSurgical to develop an innovative endoluminal robotic system for less invasive therapeutic treatments.The total combined funding could reach up to $458 million if pre-agreed milestones are met and the program reaches term.TOKYO, July 25, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Olympus Corporation (Olympus), a global MedTech company committed to making people's lives healthier, safer, and more fulfilling, today announced the conclusion of an agreement with Revival Healthcare Capital (Revival) to drive advancements in endoluminal robotics. Olympus and Revival will co-found Swan EndoSurgical, a new company dedicated to developing a novel robotic system designed to revolutionize gastrointestinal (GI) patient care in the future.Logo of Swan EndoSurgicalEndoluminal robotics aims to empower more physicians to safely perform innovative techniques, enhancing patient access to treatment options that support safety and improved recovery times. This groundbreaking advancement has the potential to create new and significantly enhanced minimally invasive treatment options for major unmet medical needs by boosting precision and efficiency in procedures addressing ergonomic strain for healthcare professionals.Bob White, Representative Executive Officer, President and Chief Executive Officer at Olympus commented, “This partnership marks a significant milestone in our strategic initiative to advance endoluminal robotics. We are excited to enter this collaboration that we expect to play a pivotal role in reshaping the GI market by expanding procedural capabilities for physicians. This will allow the delivery of transformative, organ-sparing care that enhances outcomes for a broad patient population.”For decades, endoscopy—placing a flexible camera into an existing body orifice—has yielded early and accurate diagnoses of conditions such as GI tract cancer. In recent years, specialists, primarily gastroenterologists, have begun performing endoscopic therapeutic procedures, such as cancer resection, by inserting instruments through the endoscope. However, manual endoscopes and their instruments have limitations that make many advanced procedures within the lumen of the GI tract challenging and not widely available globally. The development of an endoluminal robot, with its ability to easily maneuver within the GI tract and deploy flexible arms, provides the opportunity for more patients to benefit from safe and effective procedures, potentially avoiding invasive surgery. This innovation allows for the early, safe, and effective treatment of lesions or tumors in the GI tract relative to current therapeutic options. Furthermore, the technology has the potential for application in numerous other disease areas.Headquartered in the United States, Swan EndoSurgical has assembled a leadership team of highly experienced industry professionals who will drive technical, clinical, and commercial development of the robotic platform. About Swan EndoSurgical Swan EndoSurgical, Inc. is an innovative start-up co-founded by Revival Healthcare Capital and Olympus that is focused on the development of endoluminal surgical robotics with the aim to create effective treatment of lesions or tumors in the GI tract relative to current therapeutic options.
