Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, diverse perspectives were analyzed on access to new drugs (i.e., country, patient and disease level) and the consequences of efficacy and safety in various subpopulations (Japan, US) since the 2000s, when global development of new drugs became common. The results showed that 1) safety concerns are significant in Japanese patients for globally developed products, 2) Westerners and Japanese have different expectations of anticancer drug treatment, 3) the nature of adverse drug reaction reports from consumers reflects country-specific characteristics, 4) pharmaceutical companies are diversifying and selecting indications (i.e., patient sub-populations) that utilize the strengths of the company to enter the development market, and 5) country-specific development regulations and support have an impact on the types of cell and gene therapy products launched.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
グローバル企業による現在の新薬開発では、開発効率の観点から、薬剤のターゲット集団の多様性の十分な検討が本質的に困難であり、多様性(すなわち異質性)の検討をどう保証するかは世界的に重要な課題である。本研究成果は、世界の中での日本(人)及び米国での部分集団に着目し、異質性の姿・程度を具体的かつ直接に示しており、異質性を個々の文脈(国、医療制度など)で受容し、乗り越えていくための重要な資料となる。特に「部分集団」の研究は、新薬開発の中心が、米国から圧倒的な伸びを見せる中国などの新興国に移りつつある現在、日本がそのトレンドにどう対応するかを考える上でますます重要になる。
