Drug Evaluation Committee Report on Examination of Efficient Feasibility Survey Methodology

Clinical Evaluation Subcommittee

June 2016

In TF-1 of the Clinical Evaluation Subcommittee in 2015, we examined how to achieve efficient feasibility studies by unraveling the "feasibility studies" conducted by sponsors prior to the start of clinical trials and organizing them according to the purpose of the study, instead of lumping them all together. The following report and appendices summarize the results of this study.

  • Report: Report on the Study of Efficient Feasibility Study Methods
  • Attachment 1: Survey Questionnaire for Clinical Trial Protocol Preparation
  • Attachment 2: Checklist of Points to Consider When Conducting Feasibility Study
  • Attachment 3: Questionnaire Survey on the Utilization of Public Information of Medical Institutions
  • Attachment 4: Results of Analysis of "Information Database of Medical Institutions Conducting Clinical Trials" by Center for Promoting Clinical Trials of the Japan Medical Association
  • Attachment 5: Questionnaire Survey on the List of Useful Information for Clinical Trial Sponsors

We hope that this report will help not only sponsors and medical institutions but also all parties involved in clinical trials to understand efficient feasibility studies and lead to good progress of clinical trials, success of clinical trials, and revitalization of clinical trials in Japan.
