Identification of Drug Characteristics for Implementing Multiregional Clinical Trials Including Japan

Therapeutic classification and agent type, in addition to capital type and United States and European Union evaluation status suggested by a previous study, were associated with implementing MRCT-JP. It is important to determine the best way to utilize MRCT-JP to maximize the value of products. Our findings were based on successful cases and may therefore be helpful for designing clinical development plans. Appropriate use of MRCT-JP will improve productivity in the pharmaceutical industry.
