Process for New Drug Development
What is the R&D for Pharmaceuticals?
In Japan, it generally takes a long period such as ten years or more and cost it a large amount of R&D expenses more than tens of billions of Japanese yen to develop one new drug. And even with that much time and cost, the success rate of a compound being launched as a new drug is only about 1 / 30,000 (0.003%).
Solasia’s Products / Pipeline
Proceeding with a wide range of development for both: Anti-cancer drugs and drugs aimed at controlling side effects caused by cancer treatment.
Since our founding, we have worked on five development products, three of which have already been successfully developed and delivered to patients. We will continue to develop innovative medicines/medical devices so that we can contribute to patients’ treatment and enhanced quality of life.
