The Japan Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association (JPMA) is an industry association representing research-based pharmaceutical companies in Japan.
JPMA supports scientific advancement, policy development, and collaboration related to drug development and regulation. Its perspectives can influence best practices and regulatory dialogue relevant to multinational development programs. Sponsors running global studies may consider JPMA-aligned initiatives when coordinating Japan-specific development strategy and stakeholder engagement. JPMA participation also supports harmonization goals by encouraging consistent approaches to quality, ethics, and innovation across markets.
