The time it takes to get a drug approved in Japan can vary, but on average, it may take around 1 to 2 years for priority drugs and 2 to 3 years for standard drugs. This timeframe includes clinical trials, regulatory reviews, and an approval process by the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA). The actual timeline is based on the complexity of the drug, the quality of the submission, and other key factors.
