Tokyo- January 21, 2021 –CMIC Co Ltd. (henceforth “CMIC”) has joined the Decentralized Trials & Research Alliance (henceforth “DTRA”), an alliance seeking to accelerate the broad adoption of decentralized clinical trials, as a Founding Company. DTRA is an alliance that was convened in the U.S. on December 10, 2020, in order to advance decentralized clinical trials by uniting mainly U.S.-based healthcare companies, regulators, patient groups and research organizations. As a Founding Company, CMIC will join the DTRA Leadership Council, effectively advancing decentralized trials in Japan by strengthening its connection with respective organizations and companies in the U.S.
“By joining the Leadership Council, CMIC will be able to study real-world examples of decentralized clinical trials that are led in the U.S., and network with U.S. organizations. Through this, CMIC will be able to formulate realistic and efficient studies within the Japanese clinical trial environment, and propose solutions for challenges that arise during a trial. As a member of DTRA, we will leverage the latest global digital health technology to the fullest, and contribute to smooth decentralized trial conduct in Japan. Furthermore, as the largest Japanese CRO with a broad Asian footprint, we will bring our decentralized trial adoption experiences, trends and needs of the fast-growing Asian market into DTRA, in order to facilitate the development of future global standards.” said Toru Fujieda, President of CMIC Co., Ltd.
