Falls Church, VA (PRWEB) September 14, 2015 -- Japan’s Pharmaceutical Regulatory Environment:
What Will the New Sakigake Pathway Mean for Drugmakers?
**FDAnews Webinar**

Japan is encouraging pharmaceutical companies to get new products approved first there, or at the very least, parallel to the US and EU, with it’s new “Sakigake” expedited pathway. Started in April, the pathway is similar to the FDA’s breakthrough designation — potentially cutting approval time in half.
The rewards for doing business in Japan can be high, but so can the stakes. The country’s regulators, long notorious for their opacity, have made efforts to foster much greater openness.
But they still don’t hesitate to wield their authority. Earlier this year, they forced a major international drugmaker to shut down its Japanese operations — production and sales — for 15 days as a penalty for failing to report side effects properly.
In this webinar, Alberto Grignolo will share the in-depth knowledge gained during his establishment of PAREXEL’s Japan Consulting Services. Attendees will learn how the steps, priorities and expectations will differ when meeting with Japanese regulators.
If manufacturers are going to bring drugs to this massive market, they need this information to prepare for its unique challenges.
