NKMAX has begun preparations for the commercialization of its NK cell therapy in Japan.


NKMAX announced on the 13th that PMDA (Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency), under Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, has completed an inspection of its NK cell therapy (SNK) GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) facility.


Unlike in Korea, in Japan, regenerative medical treatments such as NK cell therapy can be administered based on a physician's judgment. In fact, once approved by the Regenerative Medicine Council in Japan, NK cell therapy can be administered for therapeutic purposes, enabling immediate revenue generation.


Following PMDA's approval of the GMP facility, NKMAX plans to finalize the commercialization process of SNK soon in collaboration with Japanese medical institutions and healthcare professionals. It is reported that frontline medical institutions are recruiting a large number of patients who are awaiting SNK administration.



An NKMAX representative stated, “Having successfully completed the inspection, the commercialization of SNK in Japan is imminent,” adding, “We plan to continue the commercialization of SNK starting with Japan.”
