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.
OPC-41061 will be orally administered at 7.5 mg/day for 7 days to cirrhosis patients with ascites despite having received conventional diuretic therapy. Based on the change in body weight, on Day 7 it will be decided whether to continue administration at the same dose or to increase the dose, and then OPC-41061 will be orally administered for an additional 7 days at either 7.5 mg/day or, if diuretic effect for the initial 7-day administration is insufficient, at an increased dose of 15 mg/day. Plasma drug level, efficacy, and safety of OPC-41061 by 14-day repeated administration will be investigated.
The primary objective of this prospective multicenter study is to assess whether the functional outcome measured with the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) for patients with medial unicompartmental osteoarthritis and osteonecrosis of the knee treated with open wedge high tibial osteotomy (HTO) using the TomoFix™ Small is better than the functional outcome after conservative treatment.
The clinical assessment of patients with plaque-type psoriasis is performed by open, intrapatient comparison of 0.2% STA-21 with vehicle(Vaseline) alone within a 2 week period.
This study is a multicentre, open, randomised, parallel-group study with formoterol 9 μg one inhalation b.i.d, or standard COPD therapy. Standard (reference) COPD treatment arm should be the group to refer to when safety results of formoterol arm will be evaluated. 240 patients with moderate-to-severe COPD will be randomised (120 patients in the formoterol-arm and 120 patients on standard COPD therapy).
The purpose of this clinical study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of OPC-262 5 mg in patients with type 2 diabetes by repeated administration orally for 52 weeks.
To evaluate the major molecular response (MMR) rate at 12 months of nilotinib treatment on study in patients with Philadelphia Chromosome Positive (Ph+) chronic myelogenous leukemia in chronic phase (CML-CP) who have a suboptimal molecular response to imatinib at 18 months or later.
Medical records are reviewed to obtain information about the use of a MRI diagnostic imaging agent (contrast agent) called Primovist/Eovist in children older than 2 months and less than 18 years. Data that has been recorded in the child's medical records relating to the injection of Primovist/Eovist will be collected. Information will be collected from up to 2 weeks before the child received Primovist/Eovist until 12 months after the child received Primovist/Eovist. Copy of the child's MR images that were taken right before and after the child received Primovist/Eovist and all other reports (laboratory reports, other imaging reports, etc) that are part of the child's medical records during that time period will be collected.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the difference in the effect of coronary plaque regression (as measured by intravascular ultrasound [IVUS] imaging) between cholesterol absorption inhibitor and cholesterol synthesis inhibitor.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the prevention of cardiovascular disease by moderate cholesterol lowering therapy, pitavastatin 1mg/day or aggressive cholesterol lowering therapy, pitavastatin 4mg/day in patients with stable coronary artery disease.
The purpose of this prospective, randomized multicenter study is to determine whether there is any difference in stent patency of covered metallic stents in terms of stent positioning, above and across the sphincter of Oddi, in malignant bile duct obstruction.
