DESCRIÇÃO DA VAGA
JCR Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. is a global Japanese multinational specializing in pharmaceuticals that is redefining expectations and expanding possibilities for people with rare and genetic diseases worldwide.
It has developed and obtained approval in Japan for the drug indicated for MPS II - Mucopolysaccharidoses - better known as Hunter Syndrome. It is a rare disease resulting from the lack of an enzyme, leading to the accumulation of complex molecules in the body, hindering the patient's development from early years and can lead to death in the first decade of life.
JCR's treatment is capable of acting both in the body and in the central nervous system, relying on the technology called J-Brain Cargo®. This allows the medication to cross the blood-brain barrier and penetrate the central nervous system, as well as acting on other organs of the body through an innovative mechanism of action never seen before in current medications.
Present in Brazil since 2020, JCR do Brasil Farmacêuticos has already submitted the drug for analysis by ANVISA, as a pioneering product in overcoming the blood-brain barrier to treat the neurological degeneration that occurs in 70% of patients with MPS type II, as well as having efficacy for treating the somatic part of the disease.
