TriNetX and Fujitsu Launch Joint Venture to Increase Japanese Patients' Access to Life-Changing Medicines
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. , Feb. 12, 2025 /CNW/ -- TriNetX, a global leader in real-world data (RWD) and real-world evidence (RWE) solutions, has partnered with Fujitsu, a global ICT company and one of Japan's leading electronic health record (EHR) vendors, to form TriNetX Japan K.K. This groundbreaking joint venture aims to quickly create an environment where anonymized EHR data from Japanese patients can be used to optimize clinical trials, advance healthcare research, and accelerate drug development timelines.
TriNetX Japan K.K. will open new research pathways and strengthen Japan's position in global healthcare.
The initiative represents a significant step forward for integrating Japan into the global landscape of data-driven medicine and healthcare innovation. With its status as the third-largest pharmaceutical market worldwide, Japan offers unparalleled opportunities for clinical research and drug development. Additionally, Japan's rapidly aging population provides an ideal foundation for studying age-related conditions such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and neurodegenerative disorders.
"Since our full-scale entry into the Japanese market in 2022, TriNetX has been enabling pharmaceutical companies and researchers to securely leverage anonymous patient data through our federated system while ensuring compliance with Japan's strict data privacy regulations," said Gadi Lachman , Founding CEO of TriNetX. "This joint venture with Fujitsu will open new research pathways and strengthen Japan's position in global healthcare, allowing us to connect critical therapies to patients."
The new entity will integrate the TriNetX LIVE™ Platform, TriNetX's global network of over 200 million patient records, with Fujitsu's cloud-based platform for the healthcare sector in Japan , offering a seamless connection between leading medical institutions and life sciences innovators. Through the integrated advanced analytics and data utilization platforms, researchers and pharmaceutical companies will gain secure, efficient access to large-scale EHR datasets, revolutionizing clinical trials and precision medicine initiatives.
Tatsuki Araki , Head of Healthy Living of Fujitsu, remarked, "Fujitsu is proud to collaborate with TriNetX to advance healthcare and life sciences innovation in Japan . Together with TriNetX, we will create an environment where Japanese medical data, previously underutilized, can be efficiently leveraged for clinical research. As part of our business model ' Fujitsu Uvance,' which is based on addressing social issues, Fujitsu aims to eliminate drug loss in Japan and achieve a society where everyone can choose the treatment that best suits them by creating an ecosystem leveraging medical data."
The TriNetX-Fujitsu joint venture aligns with the growing number of Japanese medical institutions joining the TriNetX network. Researchers are already conducting novel studies using TriNetX data and technology, while pharmaceutical companies are increasingly offering clinical trial opportunities to these institutions.
Shogo Wakabayashi , TriNetX's Country Manager, Japan will lead TriNetX Japan K.K. Steve Kundrot , Chief Operating Officer of TriNetX and Elizabeth Schwert , Vice President, M&A and Business Development of TriNetX, will serve on the entity's Board of Directors.

Japan's Resilience lander fails to stick moon landing again
TOKYO, Japan: Japan's hopes for a foothold in commercial lunar exploration suffered a second blow this week after Tokyo-based startup ispace confirmed its Resilience lander likely crashed on the moon. The attempted touchdown was meant to mark a milestone for Japan's private space ambitions but ended with lost contact and no confirmation of a soft landing. The uncrewed lander, carrying scientific payloads worth US$16 million, appears to have suffered issues measuring its distance to the lunar surface and failed to slow down in time, ispace said. Contact was lost just under two minutes before the scheduled touchdown. This was ispace's second failed attempt after its inaugural mission crashed in 2023 due to inaccurate altitude recognition. While the hardware design remained mostly unchanged, software updates had been made. Still, Resilience couldn't avoid a hard landing. "Truly diverse scenarios were possible, including issues with the propulsion system, software or hardware, especially with sensors," said Chief Technology Officer Ryo Ujiie. More than 500 people — including ispace staff, sponsors, and government officials — had gathered at a Tokyo venue to witness the historic moment. Instead, a tense silence descended when the signal was lost. Shares of ispace plunged, hitting sell-order limits and looking set to close down 29%. Still, CFO Jumpei Nozaki said the company faced "no immediate financial deterioration," citing continued investor backing. Resilience had targeted Mare Frigoris, a plain near the moon's north pole, where it planned to conduct 14 days of exploration — including NASA-contracted work capturing regolith. The mission carried a rover built by ispace's Luxembourg subsidiary, alongside external instruments from Japanese companies and a Taiwanese university. While a commercial success would have aligned Japan with U.S. companies like Intuitive Machines and Firefly Aerospace, both of whom achieved moon landings this year, ispace now faces a multi-year pause. Japan's national space agency, JAXA, did land its SLIM lander in 2023, making Japan the fifth country to manage a soft lunar landing. Despite the setback, Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba said, "Expectations for ispace have not faded." The company plans to continue its efforts, with a third mission slated for 2027 through its U.S. unit under NASA's Commercial Lunar Payload Services. Ispace aims to complete six more missions across Japan and the U.S. by 2029.
