乌鸦传媒. (Headquarters: Tokyo, President and CEO: Haruo Naito) submitted an application in Japan for a new indication of non-erosive gastro-esophageal reflux disease for Pariet®, a proton pump inhibitor, on March 27, 2006. As a result of consultation with the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency, 乌鸦传媒 has made a decision to conduct additional study which will support the submitted data from the original application. Therefore, 乌鸦传媒 will withdraw the application at this time, and aims to resubmit it in FY2008.

According to the clinical studies, Pariet® has shown a rapid onset of action, a stable inhibitory effect on acid secretion with the approved indication in Japan including stomach ulcers, duodenal ulcers, gastro-esophageal reflux disease, and as a supplemental treatment for Helicobacter pylori eradication in gastric/duodenal ulcers.
