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.
The primary purpose of this study is to assess whether at least 1 dose of LY2216684 (12 milligrams [mg] or 18 mg once daily) is superior to placebo once daily in the adjunctive treatment of participants with major depressive disorder (MDD) who were identified as partial responders to an adequate course of treatment with a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) during an 8-week, double-blind, acute adjunctive treatment phase.
The aim of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 2.5 and 5 mcg tiotropium over a 24-week treatment period as compared to placebo and salmeterol (50 mcg twice daily). Tiotropium inhalation solution delivered by the Respimat® inhaler will be examined on top of maintenance treatment with inhaled corticosteroid controller medication in patients with moderate persistent asthma. Efficacy and safety will be assessed by measuring effects on lung function, effects on asthma exacerbations, effects on quality of life, effects on asthma control, effects on health care resource utilisation, and number of adverse events.

A neutrophil elastase inhibitor may have effect on suppression of the lung injury after thoransthoracic esophagectomy. The investigators hypothesized that postoperative complication, particularly respiratory complication may be reduced by neutrophil elastase inhibitor after esophagectomy.
This is a Phase III randomized multicenter double-blind, placebo controlled trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of paclitaxel plus ramucirumab (IMC-1211B) drug product (DP) compared to paclitaxel plus placebo.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of valproate on the required dose of propofol for sedation in patients with mental retardation.
Primary Objective: To compare patient-led titration (intervention group) versus physician-led titration (usual standard of care) in optimizing the clinical use of insulin glargine in an Asian population of patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) uncontrolled on oral antidiabetic drugs (OADs). Secondary Objectives: To determine the difference in glycemic control, safety, quality of life and treatment satisfaction between patient-led titration and usual care.
To determine the maximum tolerated dose of lenalidomide in patients with adult T-cell leukemia-lymphoma (ATL) and peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) who have previously received therapy for ATL and PTCL
The aim of the present Phase III study is to assess the positive predictive value of NPC-07 (5-aminolevulinic acid hydrochloride) induced tissue fluorescence, safety and pharmacokinetics following a single dose of NPC-07 orally, at a dose of 20mg/kg/body weight, 3 hours prior to induction of anaesthesia for surgery of patients with newly or recurrent malignant glioma (WHO grades III/IV). Positive predictive value will be confirmed by percentage of patients showing positive tumor cell identification in all biopsies taken from areas of strong and weak fluorescence. This study will be divided into two stages. After reviewing of the result of safety and pharmacokinetics of NPC-07 in small number of subjects by independent safety monitoring committee, more subjects will receive NPC-07 in Step II.
The purpose of this study is to observe an improvement in overall response rate in NSCLC subjects who have been treated with gefitinib or erlotinib and are genotypically EGFR mutation positive or who have had a prior a response.
