Our Medicines

Bringing innovation and technology to the patient-care journey

As part of Kyowa Kirin’s Commitment to Life, we have a focus in Australia on rare diseases and their treatments. We want to become a trusted partner to patients, carers, healthcare professionals and other stakeholders in this arena.

Embarking on a journey that is less visited

Kyowa Kirin aims to deliver innovative technology in Australia’s rare disease space. We work with our global team to bring in pharmaceutical candidates, using state-of-the-art technologies for the following treatment areas.


As a company rich in culture and diversity, we welcome and are flexible to strategic collaborations and partnerships with pharmaceutical firms, biotechnology companies, and academia partners in rare disease.

Cutaneous T-cell Lymphoma (CTCL)

One area of such focus is Cutaneous T-cell Lymphoma (CTCL), an ongoing unmet need. This haematological cancer initially affects the skin but then can also involve the blood, lymph nodes, and other internal organs.

X-linked hypophosphataemia (XLH)

Another area is X-linked hypophosphataemia (XLH), a rare genetic disorder which causes phosphate wasting, and affects children and adults. The progressive and compounding symptoms of XLH lead to skeletal defects, muscular dysfunction, and dental abnormalities.
