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 investigated the dose response relationship for the efficacy and safety of BAF312 compared to placebo in active DM patients over a treatment period of 6+6 months and to determine the minimum dose required for a maximal clinical effect. The study was composed of 2 periods: a double-blind period 1 with BAF312 administered at different daily doses (0.5, 2, 10 mg and placebo) and a fixed-dose Period 2 in which BAF312 was administered at the dose of 2 mg daily .
The purpose of the study was to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of intravenous infusion of serelaxin, when added to standard therapy, in acute heart failure (AHF) patients.
The purpose of this study is evaluate the natural course of disease progression related to gross motor function in children with metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD).
To evaluate and compare the efficacy and safety of regorafenib versus placebo in subjects with colorectal cancer (CRC) after curative resection of liver metastasis and completion of all planned chemotherapy.
This study is a Phase III, multicentre, randomized, initial double-blind study with subsequent open label phases. The study will havea screening phase (4 weeks), a dose increase effect verification phase (12 weeks), a down titration 1 phase (1 week), a long-term phase (39 weeks), down titration 2 phase (1 to 2 weeks) and a follow up phase. Subjects will be assigned to Ropinirole CR high-dose group or Ropinirole CR maintenance group at a ratio of 3:1. This study is being conducted to evaluate the efficacy (effect of increasing Ropinirole dose from 16 mg/day to 18-24 mg/day) of the Ropinirole CR tablets in early and advanced PD patients who have not achieved an optimal therapeutic response with marketed Ropinirole Immediate release (IR) (15 mg/day) or marketed Ropinirole CR (16 mg/day) formulations.
This study will investigate whether the combination of PF-05212384 plus Irinotecan improves progression free survival in patients with KRAS and NRAS wild type metastatic colorectal cancer when compared with the combination of cetuximab plus Irinotecan. A Japanese Lead in Cohort will assess the safety of the combination of PF-05212384 + irinotecan in patients enrolled at Japanese sites.
Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is a rare, chronic, debilitating, and potentially life-threatening autoimmune disorder that is characterized by mucocutaneous blisters. Ofatumumab is a novel monoclonal antibody (mAb) that specifically binds to the human CD20 antigen, which is expressed only in B lymphocytes. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy, tolerability, and safety of ofatumumab injection for subcutaneous use (ofatumumab SC) 20 milligrams (mg) administered once in every 4 weeks, (with an additional 20 mg loading dose [i.e. 40 mg total] at both Week 0 and Week 4) in subjects with PV. It was anticipated that with sustained B-cell depletion in the presence of ofatumumab SC, and the resultant reduction of pathogenic anti Dsg (desmoglein) autoantibodies in PV, that clinical remission of the disease would result.
The primary purpose of the study is to explore whether treatment with PF-03446962 and best supportive care is better than placebo plus best supportive care in prolonging survival of patients affected by recurrent liver cancer. In addition, the study will explore if adding PF-03446962 to best supportive care is safe, how PF-03446962 is metabolized, if there are patients' characteristics (biomarkers) that may predict response to PF-03446962, and if PF-03446962 has any effect on the patients' quality of life.
To identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of oral azacitidine on different treatment schedules in Japanese subjects with hematological neoplasms
This is a phase II/III confirmatory study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of nintedanib (BIBF 1120) in combination + (pemetrexed / cisplatin) followed by nintedanib (BIBF 1120) versus placebo + pemetrexed / cisplatin followed by placebo for the treatment of patients with unresectable malignant pleural mesothelioma.
