In the case that a foreign manufacturer does not have a base for business operations in Japan for the sales of pharmaceuticals and medical devices, it is necessary to appoint one manufacturing/marketing business license holder in Japan.
CM Plus has obtained the first-class and second-class marketing licenses for pharmaceuticals. We will provide services as a Designated Marketing Authorization Holder (D-MAH) for foreign manufacturers who have entered the Japanese market and consider importing and selling.
In-Country Clinical Caretaker (ICCC) Service
This service enables clinical trials to be conducted in Japan on behalf of overseas pharmaceutical companies (pharmaceutical companies, drug discovery ventures, etc.) without a legal entity.
When a company without a legal entity in Japan conducts a clinical trial in Japan, it is necessary to prevent the occurrence or spread of health hazards caused by the investigational drug. It is required to appoint a person addressed in Japan as a person who can request a clinical trial on behalf of the person.
As a clinical development partner, CM Plus will play the sponsor role in Japan (ICCC: Article 15 in GCP Ministerial Ordinance) on behalf of a pharmaceutical company without a business base in Japan.
