CRO Services in Japan

While Linical has grown across the globe to cover the world’s top clinical development regions (North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific), our company originated in Japan nearly two decades ago. Founded by leaders in drug development from a Japanese pharmaceutical company, Linical was created with a vision of advancing clinical research for new and unmet medical needs. Linical is publicly traded on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, providing financial stability with a focus on quality delivery for our clients and the patients we help improve therapies for.

There are many benefits to conducting clinical trials in Japan, and Japan continues be the third largest pharmaceutical market in the world. Japan remains one of the most important regions for both local and global biopharmaceutical companies, with continued demands for innovative therapies. Through partnering with a contract research organization (CRO) in Japan, pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies can achieve more successful outcomes.
