Clinical Research Network

We will conduct expeditious and solid clinical research and clinical trials.

We will conduct safe and efficient trials through collaboration and cooperation between university hospitals with outstanding achievements, to supply drugs or medical devices that have high medical needs.
We will actively cooperative in developing drugs to address unmet needs of intractable and rare diseases by taking advantage of the university hospital's characteristics.
We aim to function as an ARO to coordinate investigator-initiated clinical trials.

University conducts research in various areas and has the potential of developing new drugs by nurturing the seeds of research. We will foster alliance network as an ARO by sharing resources and experience that becomes difficult for one member university, thereby step up as an organization that will contribute to new drug development.
