SciGen receives approval from Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods, for Nemera’s reusable pen injector, for its human growth hormone.

SciTropin A™ Pen is a state-of-the-art pen injector device manufactured by Nemera. It was included in the ARTG in February 2022 opening the way for the device to be distributed for patients in Australia.

“This approval reinforces SciGen’s commitment to provide patients with a safe and effective way of drug self-administration. It will further help improve patient compliance to the SciTropin A therapy as a similar pen technology had demonstrated benefits to patients on insulin therapy.” said Marcus Poh, Marketing Director for Global Direct Markets at SciGen Pte. Ltd.
Based on Nemera’s proprietary PENDURA AD development platform SciTropin A™ Pen device will be available in three different versions depending on the type of somatropin cartridge used by the patient.
SciTropin A™ Pen is a reusable, spring-assisted device dedicated to the administration of SciTropin A™ – the growth hormone distributed by SciGen.

Some of the features of SciTropin A™ Pen device include automatic & precise drug delivery, firm hand placement thanks to clear signalization and lateral positioning of the button. Together, these contribute to highest safety and comfort for patients.

“We are thrilled to partner with SciGen to bring the SciTropin A™ Pen device to patients in Australia. This follows successful launches in Korea, Hong Kong and Philippines” said Radoslaw Romanczuk, Pen Platform Business Development Director at Nemera.
