Clinigen has secured world-first pharmaceutical approval in Japan for Prolacta Bioscience's PreemieFort Enteral Solution, a human milk-based fortifier. The product is indicated for nutritional management of very low birth weight infants and neonates with weight gain failure. Whilst regulated as infant formula in the US and Europe, PreemieFort became the first human milk-derived product approved as a prescription drug in Japan. The approval was supported by data from the JASMINE Phase III clinical trial in very low birth weight infants. Clinigen served as exclusive licensee and marketing authorisation holder, working with regulators to establish a pharmaceutical pathway where none previously existed. The achievement is particularly significant given Japan's rigorous regulatory standards and status as a global leader in neonatal care.
