| Title | Analysis Services for Immune-Related Cells Including pDC | ||
| Detail | When making an immunity-related claim under the Foods with Function Claims system, data from studies examining how a food ingredient affects plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) is considered strong evidence. In addition to pDC evaluations conducted at the Takara Clinic Center for Food Clinical Trials, we will also explain the immune indicators measurable at our own center. | ||

| Title | How to Make Chinese Functional Ingredients Stand Out in the Japanese Market? —Explanation of Japanese Functional Labeled Foods— | ||
| Detail | To sell food products with specified functions, you must apply for or file a notification as a health functional food. In particular, Foods with Function Claims allow for a broader range of claims compared to other types of health functional foods. However, there are several important points to consider. This presentation will explain Japan’s Foods with Function Claims system and the related notification procedures. | ||

| Title | Global Food Functionality Research Trends Seen from Test Registration | ||
| Detail | In the field of functional foods, the outcomes of safety and efficacy studies can significantly influence the direction of research and development. These results are often reflected in product labeling and health claims. In this presentation, we will analyze and review data from the Japanese trial registry (UMIN-CTR) and its international counterpart (ClinicalTrials.gov) to identify emerging trends and forecast potential areas of growth in the functional food sector. | ||

| Title | Consideration of Bias in Human Clinical Trial Design | ||
| Detail | To improve the quality of a clinical trial, it is essential to control for bias in advance. This is especially important for trials conducted with the intention of submitting the Foods with Function Claims system. So, what kinds of bias exist? We will explain the types of bias that can be controlled beforehand and how to manage them effectively. | ||

| Title | Control of Bias in Human Clinical Trial Reporting | ||
| Detail | Enhancing clinical trial quality requires attention not only to preparatory measures but also to how the results are reported. In this session, we will explain how to control bias in advance with an eye toward final reporting, as well as discuss the types of bias that may arise after the trial and the reporting formats that can help minimize them. | ||

| Title | Adoption Judgment of Research Based on Bias Risk in Systematic Reviews | ||
| Detail | When using evidence from a systematic review for the Foods with Function Claims submission, it is necessary to assess the risk of bias in each included study. So, how should this be done? We will introduce the “Risk of Bias Tool” developed by Cochrane as an example. | ||

| Title | Exploration of Functional Components Using Gene Expression Analysis Technology | ||
| Detail | As research on the relationship between gene expression and repression mechanisms and life phenomena progresses, various genes responsible for different life phenomena have been identified. It is a well-known fact that food components and nutrients affect gene expression, and many reports have studied such relationship. In this presentation, we will explain how gene expression analysis technology is used for the safety assessment of novel food ingredients. | ||
