Executive Summary
Japanese contract research organization Croee plans to establish a non-profit organization to help enroll more clinical trial participants in Japan. As a third-party organization, the NPO will manage the database and protect individual privacy, promote public awareness of clinical trials and conduct follow-up activities such as providing information on new drugs after market launch. In Japan, medical facilities conducting clinical trials for pharmaceutical companies will ask site management organizations to start looking for patients to enroll in clinical studies. Croee hopes the new NPO will establish the patient database beforehand and will introduce candidates for certain trials to SMOs and hospitals. Croee has signed contracts with 50 SMOs and 500 hospitals. (Click here for more - Japanese language
