Abstract:

In spite of having developed first in Japan, we approved oxaliplatine last year behind Western countries with long delay. The problem of the drug lag in an anticancer drug is very serious, if you want to cancel somehow, now, is desperate, and considers this. Both regulatory authority and pharmaceutical industry approved of making the forum to which industry, academia and government meet together. Everyone on this first meeting, we should have a discussion from various angles and considered about the clinical development of an anticancer drug that the motion in recent years which is going to aim at world simultaneous development by multinational clinical trial with the West and the Asia neighboring countries wants to explore the way where our country can free itself from the situation of the circumference delay from the West at an early stage.

Far too large a section of the treatment of disease is to-day controlled by the big manufacturing pharmacists, who have enslaved us in a plausible pseudo-science...
The blind faith which some men have in medicines illustrates too often the greatest of all human capacities - the capacity for self deception...
Some one will say, Is this all your science has to tell us? Is this the outcome of decades of good clinical work, of patient study of the disease, of anxious trial in such good faith of so many drugs? Give us back the childlike trust of the fathers in antimony and in the lancet rather than this cold nihilism. Not at all! Let us accept the truth, however unpleasant it may be, and with the death rate staring us in the face, let us not be deceived with vain fancies...
we need a stern, iconoclastic spirit which leads, not to nihilism, but to an active skepticism - not the passive skepticism, born of despair, but the active skepticism born of a knowledge that recognizes its limitations and knows full well that only in this attitude of mind can true progress be made.
- William Osler 1909
