The decision was based on the favorable opinion of the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Device Agency (PMDA) recommending a marketing authorization of amenamevir for treatment of herpes zoster (HZ). Amenamevir has a different action mechanism from previously approved synthetic nucleoside compounds for the treatment of HZ including acyclovir, valacyclovir and famciclovir. The usual adult dose is 400\u00a0mg amenamevir p.o. once daily for 7\u00a0days. The benefit is its ability to cure HZ as well as preventing postherpetic neuralgia. The most common side\u2010effects are increase of urine <jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\u2010acetyl\u2010\u03b2\u2010D\u2010glucosaminidase and \u03b11\u2010microglobulin levels. However, based on the detailed evaluation of the submitted clinical studies, there seems to be no serious safety concerns about amenamevir regarding the kidney of both renally normal and impaired patients. The objective of this article is to summarize the scientific review of the application. The detailed scientific assessment report and product information, including the summary of product characteristics, are available on the PMDA website (<jats:ext-link
