A world-class platform for clinical research

摘要

The most advanced clinical trials require highly specialized hospitals and facilities. The Pharma Valley Project, promoted through the Pharma Valley Center located within the Shizuoka Cancer Center, has created a vibrant and cost-effective platform for clinical trials and research. "In just eight years, we have gone from zero to a clinical trial network of 29 hospitals and 14,000 beds supporting over 200 current and scheduled trials and research investigations by companies from all over the world,"says Toshiyuki Soga, director of clinical trial promotion at the Pharma Valley Center (PVC). "This has only been possible because of the support of the Shizuoka prefectural government, who took up the challenge to make Shizuoka a global exporter of healthcare and medical technology."
