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 Phase 3 study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of 2.0 mg/kg/week BMN 110 and 2.0 mg/kg/every other week BMN 110 in patients with mucopolysaccharidosis IVA (Morquio A Syndrome). There is currently no standard accepted treatment for MPS IVA other than supportive care. Enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) may be a potential new treatment option for MPS IVA patients. BMN 110 is administered to MPS IVA patients by IV infusion, allowing cellular uptake by the mannose-6-phosphate receptor and transportation to the lysosomes. This enzyme uptake into the lysosomes is hypothesized to promote increased catabolism of keratan sulfate (KS) in tissue macrophages, hyaline cartilage, other connective tissues, and heart valve, and reduce the progressive accumulation of KS which is responsible for the clinical manifestations of the disorders.
A study to verify the superiority of YM060 (ramosetron) to placebo for female patients with diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (D-IBS) and to evaluate its safety.
Hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) and related anomalies involved a single ventricle are characterized by hypoplasia of the left heart and the aorta with compromised systemic cardiac output. Infants with the syndrome generally undergo a staged surgical approach in view of an ultimate Fontan procedure. Although long-term survival in patients with HLHS and related single ventricle physiology has improved markedly with advances in medical and surgical therapies, a growing number of infants will ultimately require heart transplantation for end-stage heart failure due to several potential disadvantages include a negative effect on right ventricular function, arrhythmia, additional volume load via regurgitation from the nonvalved shunt, and impaired growth of the pulmonary artery. Risk factors for poor outcome of heart transplantation with HLHS and single ventricle physiology are older age at transplantation and previous Fontan operation. New strategies are needed to improve the underlying transplant risks proper for the Fontan failure patients. Emerging evidence suggests that heart-derived stem/progenitor cells can be used to improved cardiac function in patients with ischemic heart disease. In this trial, the investigators aimed to test the safety and feasibility of intracoronary injection of autologous cardiac progenitor cells in patients with HLHS and related single ventricle anomalies and that could improve ventricular function at 3 months' follow up.
This trial is conducted in Japan. The aim of this trial is to investigate the efficacy and safety of NN5401 (insulin degludec/insulin aspart) with insulin glargine in subjects with type 2 diabetes in Japan. Depending on pre-trial oral anti-diabetic drugs (OADs), subjects continued at the same dose and dosing frequency.
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase III study of regorafenib plus best supportive care versus placebo plus best supportive care for subjects with metastatic and/or unresectable gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) whose disease has progressed despite prior treatment with at least imatinib and sunitinib. The study is composed of 3 periods: A Screening Period, a Treatment Period, and a Survival Follow up Period. Subjects randomized to be treated with regorafenib will receive 160 mg po od for 3 weeks of every 4 week (28 day) cycle (ie, 3 weeks on/1 week off). In addition subjects will receive best supportive care which excludes any disease specific anti cancer therapy such as any kinase inhibitor, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or surgery. Tumor assessment will be every 4 weeks for the first 3 months, every 6 weeks for the next 3 months (through month 6), and every 8 weeks until the end of treatment, or more frequently if clinically indicated. Tumor assessments include CT or MRI and will be performed until tumor progression is seen in a central radiology review. Subjects receiving placebo who experience disease progression may be offered active treatment. Subjects who experience progression during regorafenib treatment may continue open label treatment. All subjects will enter the Survival Follow-up Period upon discontinuation of randomized study treatment.
To determine whether complement factor H (CFH) and age-related maculopathy susceptibility 2 (ARMS2) genotypes have a pharmacogenetic effect on the treatment of polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) with ranibizumab.
This trial is conducted in Japan. The aim of the trial is to compare pharmacokinetics (at which rate the body eliminates the substance from the body) of insulin aspart with fast-acting insulin human following intravenous (IV) infusion or intramuscular (IM) injection in Japanese subjects with type 1 diabetes mellitus.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the tolerability and safety of E7080 up to 24 mg when administered orally on a once daily continuous dose schedule in cycles (4 weeks as 1 cycle) in subjects with solid tumors
The aim of this study is to determine the condition to detect the status of a macular hole by spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) in gas-filled eyes. The macular area is scanned by SD-OCT (OCT-4000, Carl Zeiss Meditec) in the patients who underwent vitreous surgery for macular hole to detect macular jole closure on postoperative days 1, 3, 7, and 30.
To survey the grade of gastric MALT lymphoma after eradication of Helicobacter pylori
