EPNextS,Inc.

Global Initiatives

The EPNextS Group is dedicated to advancing global pharmaceutical development through the transformation of international collaborative clinical trials. As a total solution provider in drug development, we support the expansion of innovative therapies from Japan to the world and facilitate the entry of pharmaceutical companies worldwide into Japan and Asia.
We work with nearly all major global pharmaceutical companies, as well as biotech innovators utilizing cutting-edge technologies. Through strong alliances with international CROs and SMOs, we continue to accelerate clinical trials and enable more efficient pharmaceutical development worldwide.

Support for Global Clinical Development

In Japan, “drug loss” has become a growing concern—situations where innovative therapies already approved overseas are not available domestically because development has not progressed. To solve this issue, the EPNextS Group focuses on both clinical and market challenges and promotes collaborative initiatives with leading global partners.
Our mission is clear: expand access to worldwide medical innovations and ensure that more patients benefit from new treatments.
