Business Management

As the Government sets up its agenda for the creation of Innovative New drugs from Japan, LTL Pharma was founded as the destination for the transfer of extensive Long Life Medicines (long-term listed products) pharmaceutical companies have in their portfolio, and we have been growing our business both domestically and globally.
By building on unique business model to achieve better operational efficiency, we have been able to allocate significant resources in quality assurance activities related to safety and quality of products which are truly the core of pharmaceutical business.
Furthermore, we are dedicated to ensuring and updating long-term safety and quality data entrusted to us together with the products by the originator companies. We believe they are the valuable source of information needed to be provided to HCPs to further promote the optimal use of pharmaceutical products.

Operational Organization

We engage in our business operation domestically and abroad with fully consolidated Headquarter function and alliances with companies which are the experts in their respective areas.

Under the leadership of Chief Pharmaceutical Officer, we have highly experienced experts who have long engaged in their respective specialized areas, working together to ensure quality assurance activities. In compliance with relevant laws and regulations, much of day-to-day operations are outsourced to CROs*, while in-house personnel focus on planning and management of matters crucial for quality assurance in Japan and overseas.
*CRO: Contract Research Organization
LTL Pharma does not own in-house manufacturing facility and entrusts the production of all products to CMOs*. In order to further ensure stable supply, in partnership with each CMO, we work on double-sourcing of active pharmaceutical ingredients as well as maintenance of production equipment. We are also engaged in close information sharing with our wholesalers thereby strengthening our supply chain.
*CMO:Contract Manufacturing Organization
The primary focus of our Sales Team is in the promotion of appropriate use of our products through collecting and providing pharmaceutical safety and quality information, rather than sales promotion.
With only a small number of sales representatives in the market, they cover wide areas visiting, upon request, medical institutions located across Japan, including dispensing pharmacies. Furthermore, we follow up on the inquiries and requests coming through customer call center in a timely manner.
