How can new drug development reflect the Voice of Patients? EU and US are devising individual policies which meet their societies’ environment on this issue and are also intensifying “Patient Focused Drug Development (PFDD).” Meanwhile, Japan lacks assured direction on how to reflect the Voice of Patients. Reflecting this circumstance, the first speaker in this session is from a US company, who will share information on the current situation in the West and their activities regarding PFDD. After this, the subject of patient registry in intractable diseases, which is one of the possible activities for future Japan original PFDD, will be discussed, as will the current situation in Japan, issues, and contributions of medicine development from different perspectives. After the presentations, a panel discussion will seek Japan’s future direction.
