ICCC (In-Country Clinical Caretaker)

CMIC CRO’s proven track record as an ICCC (In-Country Clinical Caretaker) is a cornerstone of our Operational Excellence. With deep expertise in Japan’s clinical trial culture, regulatory requirements, and healthcare landscape, we support global pharmaceutical companies without a local presence by providing comprehensive, hands-on support—from regulatory affairs and trial execution to regulatory submissions.
Drawing on practical experience gained through numerous ICCC engagements, we deliver tailored solutions at each stage of development, enabling reliable and efficient clinical development in Japan.

*Note:ICCC acts on behalf of sponsors without physical presence in Japan to manage procedures required for the conduct of clinical trials.
