For Pharmaceutical Companies

Bringing New Drugs into the Clinical Field

In the process of drug development, which requires many years and much effort, clinical trials play an important role in bringing the results of research to clinical practice. Yakuriken smoothly connects pharmaceutical companies and medical institutions that wish to conduct clinical trials, making full use of our past experience and the Yakuriken Group's network.

Establishment of Advanced Clinical Trial System

We analyze clinical trial protocols in detail, establish more advanced clinical trial systems, assign competent CRC (Clinical Research Coordinators), and prepare clinical trial systems for clinical sites, such as infrastructure development and education of medical institutions conducting clinical trials.

Community-based social contribution

We pursue a "precise and sincere response" through the recruitment and continued education of local residents. A community-based SMO with good footwork can be expected to manage effectively in order to incorporate difficult clinical trials and to promptly respond to the changing number of subjects coming to the hospital.

Development of Trusted Clinical Trial Services

We have a wealth of experience backed by a relationship of trust with CROs (contract research organizations) and a clinical trial environment based on the new GCP, and provide reliable support for clinical trial operations in terms of quality, cost, and speed.
