There are about 7997 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Japan. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
This study is being done to see if a combination of 2 medicines (called NNC0194-0499 and semaglutide) can reduce liver damage in patients with non alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). NNC0194-0499 is a new medicine which works in the liver. Semaglutide is a well-known medicine, which is already used by doctors to treat type 2 diabetes in many countries. It also helps with weight loss and may reduce liver damage, and so prevent future liver complications. It works in a different way to NNC0194 0499. The 2 medicines may work better together than on their own. The study will also look at a combination of semaglutide and another weight-loss medicine called NNC0174-0833, which may be another treatment option for NASH. Each week, participants will get 2 injections. These could be 2 of the 3 medicines OR 1 of the medicines and a placebo OR 2 placebo injections. Which treatment participants get is decided by chance. A placebo is a dummy medicine which looks like the real medicine but doesn't contain any active medicine. The study will last for about 19 months. Participants will have 14 clinic visits and 9 phone calls with the study doctor. Participants will have 1 or 2 liver biopsies (tiny pieces of liver tissue) - one at the start (if participants have not had a biopsy recently) and one at the end of the study treatment. Women: Women cannot take part if pregnant, breast-feeding or planning to become pregnant during the study period.
The purpose of the study (Part 1 and Part 2) is to evaluate the safety of a step-up dosing approach (starting with low doses followed by higher doses) of the study medicine (elranatamab) in participants with multiple myeloma that has come back after responding to treatment or has not responded to treatment (relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma). This study will also look at the safety and efficacy of different doses of elranatamab, as well as different intervals between doses. Participants in the study will receive elranatamab as an injection under the skin at the study clinic. After the initial step-up doses, participants will start receiving one dose every week. The frequency of clinic visits for injections may then decrease over time. Participation will be at least two years.
This study is open to adults, between 18 and 75 years of age, who have narrowings in the small bowel (strictures) due to Crohn's disease. Strictures can lead to bowel obstruction (blockage). People whose symptoms got worse because of strictures can join the study. Participants get standard treatment for Crohn's disease and the strictures. The purpose of the study is to test whether the strictures improve further when treated with a medicine called spesolimab added to standard treatment. Participants are in the study for about 1 year and 4 months. In the first 3 months, participants get standard treatment only. After 3 months, participants whose condition improved are put into 2 groups randomly, which means by chance. One group gets spesolimab added to their standard treatment. The other group gets placebo added to their standard treatment. Both spesolimab and placebo are given as infusions into a vein. Placebo infusions look like spesolimab infusions but do not contain any medicine. For the first 2 months, participants get the infusions every month. Thereafter, participants get the infusions every 2 months. During the study, participants have about 11 visits to the study site. The doctors regularly check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects. At 3 of the visits, doctors take images of the bowel using Magnetic Resonance Imaging and with an endoscope. At these visits, the doctors also take a small sample of bowel tissue (biopsy). The participants note their symptoms of Crohn's disease and how the symptoms affect daily life in an electronic diary. At the end of the study, results from the diaries and bowel imaging are compared between the spesolimab group and the placebo group.
This study will compare the new medicine IcoSema, which is a combination of insulin icodec and semaglutide, taken once a week, to insulin glargine taken daily with insulin aspart in people with type 2 diabetes.The study will look at how well IcoSema controls blood sugar level in people with type 2 diabetes compared to insulin glargine taken with insulin aspart. Participants will either get IcoSema or insulin glargine taken with insulin aspart. Which treatment participants get is decided by chance. IcoSema is a new medicine that doctors cannot prescribe. Doctors can already prescribe insulin glargine and insulin aspart in many countries. Participants will get IcoSema or insulin glargine together with insulin aspart. Participants must inject IcoSema once a week or inject insulin glargine once daily and insulin aspart 2-4 times a day. Participants will inject the medicines with a pen, which has a small needle, in a skin fold in the thigh, upper arm, or stomach. The study will last for about 1 year and 1 month. Participants will be asked to wear a sensor that measures participants blood sugar level all the time during an 8 week period at the beginning of the study and a 4 week period at the end of the study. Women cannot take part if pregnant, breast-feeding or plan to get pregnant during the study period.
Researchers are looking for a better way to treat people who have chronic kidney disease (CKD), a long-term, progressive decrease in the kidneys' ability to work properly. When CKD happens in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus, a condition characterized by high blood sugar levels, CKD is also referred to as diabetic kidney disease (DKD). FIGARO-BM is an add-on study in which blood draws that were collected in the FIGARO-DKD study are further analyzed. No additional blood draws (also referred to as biological samples) or data will be obtained from the participants, nor will any additional or new study intervention be introduced. No visit or patient contact other than for obtaining the agreement by the patients (also called informed consent) will be required. Inflammation and scarring are both seen as responsible for worsening of chronic kidney disease. There is much information from animal studies that the study treatment finerenone (BAY94-8862) works against inflammation and against scarring (also called fibrosis) in organs such as the kidney. In this exploratory study researchers want to learn more about the study treatment finerenone (BAY94-8862). To find this out, this study will examine substances called biomarkers in blood draws from participants in the FIGARO-DKD study. Biomarkers are used as indicators of biological processes, disease processes or responses to medication. The biomarkers that will be examined stand for inflammation, organ scarring (also called fibrosis), blood vessel function and congestion. The main question of this study is whether there are differences between these biomarkers in the group of participants who received finerenone and the group of participants who received a placebo in the FIGARO-DKD study. A placebo looks like a treatment but does not have any medicine in it. To answer this question, the researchers will compare the levels of these biomarkers between the two groups at different time points after starting the study treatment. Blood samples for this study will be obtained from FIGARO-DKD study sites with a high number of participants who had been treated with finerenone or placebo for at least 24 months. This information will be combined with other information from biomarker examinations already available in the FIGARO-DKD study.
This study is a multicenter, non-interventional, retrospective, medical chart review of patients with metastatic renal cell cancer(mRCC) treated with avelumab plus axitinib as a first-line therapy in Japan between 20 December 2019 and 20 December 2020. All decisions regarding clinical management and treatment of the participating patients were made by the investigator as part of standard care in real-world clinical setting and were not contingent upon the patient's participation in the study. Data will be collected if available per study site.
This is a Phase 1 dose-escalation and cohort expansion study that will evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and preliminary activity of LUNA18 when administered as a single agent or in combination with other anti-cancer drugs in patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors.
The primary hypothesis to be tested is whether or not there is a difference in time to sustained alleviation of all targeted COVID-19 signs and symptoms through Day 28 between PF-07321332/ritonavir and placebo.
To determine if KRN125 is non-inferior to filgrastim for the mobilization of hematopoietic stem cells into the peripheral blood in patients with multiple myeloma.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of pembrolizumab/vibostolimab co-formulation (MK-7684A) with or without other anticancer therapies in participants with selected advanced solid tumors. The primary hypothesis is that pembrolizumab/vibostolimab co-formulation is superior to pembrolizumab alone in terms of objective response rate or progression-free survival in participants with cervical cancer.
