Mission Statement:
Atani’s mission is to improve outcomes for cancer patients in Japan by bringing novel cancer medications to this currently underserved market. By sourcing, developing and commercializing these drugs, we aim to provide the Japanese medical community with broader therapeutic options, and their patients with access to the most effective cancer therapies.
We seek to accelerate the approval of oncology drugs not currently available to the Japanese market by working closely with the Japanese Ministry of Health and Welfare. In doing so, we hope to bring critically important new medications to market sooner to deliver the clinical benefits so desperately sought by today’s cancer patients.

However, in terms of cancer therapies, Japan is a surprisingly underserved market, lagging the West in terms of new drug approvals and a cancer fatality rate that is higher than in the United States and Europe. more >>
