Shionogi Gains as Prepares to Seek Flu Drug Approval (Update1)

By Eijiro Ueno

May 25 (Bloomberg) -- Shionogi & Co. rose to the highest in four months after the Nikkei newspaper reported the company aims to sell a new drug for influenza as early as 2010.

Shionogi shares jumped 5.7 percent to 1952 yen on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, its highest close since Jan. 9. The Nikkei 225 Stock average was 1.3 percent higher at 9,347.00 at the close.

The Osaka-based pharmaceutical company is currently analyzing phase 3 test data for the drug Peramivir, said spokesman Yoshimasa Kyokawa, confirming the Nikkei report.

“We are preparing to submit an application for this as a new drug, as if we can make the application by this autumn, we could have approval as early as autumn 2010,” Kyokawa said by phone today.
