Blood Plasma Products

Blood plasma products are vital in the treatment of hematologic diseases. Meiji Group company KM Biologics launched Japan's first whole molecule (intact) intravenous human immunoglobulin formulation in 1980, the world's first therapeutic agent for congenital protein C deficiency in 2001, and the world's first hemophilia inhibitor hemostatic agent in 2014. We also collaborate with other companies to support Japan's domestic self-sufficiency in albumin products.

  • Our Support for Hemophilia Patients

    Hemostasis treatment facilitates coagulation, the natural clotting of the blood to stem bleeding, a long-standing issue for hemophilia patients with inhibitors. In 2014, KM Biologics launched Byclot®, Japan's first hemophilia inhibitor product, which is made by extracting blood coagulation factors from donated plasma. As the factors are present in tiny quantities, the manufacturing process uses advanced technologies like immunoaffinity chromatography. Byclot® has made a hugely positive impact on the lives of hemophilia patients in Japan.
