Pmda database for generic of sutent?

See the DrugPatentWatch profile for sutent

Where can I find PMDA database information for generic versions of Sutent (sunitinib)?

For Japan, the PMDA database you’ll usually use to check products and listings related to generic “Sutent” (sunitinib) is the PMDA search portal for drug information and approvals. You can search by the brand name “Sutent” and the active ingredient “sunitinib,” then look for entries labeled as generic or “後発医薬品” (pharmaceutical generics).

To do this efficiently, search using both terms:
- Brand: Sutent
- Generic name: sunitinib (シロ? varies by language), then filter results for generic listings (後発).

How do I search PMDA for “generic Sutent” specifically?

A practical workflow is:
1. Go to PMDA’s drug/approval search page.
2. Search for “Sutent.”
3. If results are mostly branded-only, repeat the search using the INN “sunitinib” and try different spellings if the system expects Japanese entries.
4. Open candidate result pages and confirm the product type (generic vs branded).

Because product pages can be organized by applicant/approval category, brand-name searches sometimes miss the generic entries unless you also search by the generic substance name.

What exact fields should I look for in the PMDA generic entry?

When you open a relevant PMDA result, check for:
- Active ingredient (sunitinib)
- Dosage form/strength (so you match the same formulation as the Sutent you care about)
- Generic classification (generic/pharmaceutical generic vs innovator)
- Application/approval dates or revision timeline (if shown)

If there are multiple generics, how can I tell which one matches a specific Sutent dose?

Sutent exists in specific strengths and formulations. In the PMDA results, match by:
- Strength (e.g., mg)
- Dosage form (capsules, etc.)
- Manufacturer/applicant

That way you avoid accidentally selecting a different formulation that might also contain sunitinib but is not the one you intended.

I need the link—what PMDA page should I use?

If you tell me which language you want (English or Japanese) and which PMDA database you mean (drug approvals, labeling, or another PMDA search tool), I can point you to the most appropriate PMDA search page and the exact search terms to use.

Quick clarifying questions (so I can give the right PMDA link)

  1. Do you mean “Sutent” in Japan (PMDA), not FDA/EMA?
  2. Are you looking for:
    • an approved generic product listing, or
    • the PMDA review/approval record, or
    • the package insert/labeling?
  3. Which Sutent strength/formulation (if you know it)?

AI-Drug Label Prescribing Information Alignment Report

Patient Risk: Low

Summary

No FDA-label alignment can be assessed because the provided AI claims concern PMDA (Japan) search workflows for Sutent/generic listings, while the supplied FDA prescribing information excerpt relates only to hepatotoxicity warnings/monitoring/dosage modifications and does not support or evaluate PMDA search statements.

The supplied FDA prescribing information excerpts do not address PMDA portals or any Japan regulatory search workflow.
PMDA search can be performed using the brand name “Sutent” and the active ingredient “sunitinib.”
Not supported by the provided FDA label excerpts.
PMDA search results may include entries labeled as generic or “後発医薬品” (pharmaceutical generics).
Not addressed in the provided FDA label excerpts.
A workflow for PMDA searching includes searching for “Sutent” and, if results are mostly branded-only, searching for the INN “sunitinib.”
Not supported by the provided FDA label excerpts.
PMDA results can be organized by applicant/approval category, and brand-name searches may miss generic entries unless searching by the generic substance name.
Not supported by the provided FDA label excerpts.
In a relevant PMDA generic result, the active ingredient listed should be sunitinib.
The FDA label excerpts provided do not include PMDA listing content or how PMDA results display active ingredients.
In a relevant PMDA generic result, dosage form/strength should be checked to match the same formulation as the intended Sutent.
The provided FDA excerpts are about hepatotoxicity/monitoring and do not provide guidance about PMDA search result verification or matching formulations.
In a relevant PMDA generic result, generic classification (generic/pharmaceutical generic vs innovator) should be checked.

Contradictions


Important Omissions

No FDA-prescribing-information content (indications, dosing/administration, contraindications, boxed warnings, warnings/precautions beyond hepatotoxicity excerpt, interactions, adverse reactions, monitoring, storage/handling) is actually evaluated or reflected in the listed claims.
Importance: Moderate

Safety Assessment

Potential Patient Risk: Low
The claims are about a regulatory search workflow (PMDA) rather than direct patient treatment instructions. However, they are unsupported by the provided FDA label excerpts, preventing label-concordance assessment.

Regulatory Assessment

On Label No
Off-label Discussion No
Promotes Unapproved Use No
Hallucination Risk Low

Recommendation

Not Aligned

Primary Issue
Provided claims are unrelated to the supplied FDA prescribing information excerpts and therefore cannot be confirmed as label-supported.

Suggested Improvement
Evaluate only claims that are explicitly about FDA label content (e.g., hepatotoxicity warning, monitoring, interruption/resume/discontinue by Grade) using the provided FDA sections, and remove or segregate regulatory-search workflow statements that are outside the scope of the FDA label excerpts.
