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.
To date there are no approved effective therapies for the treatment of cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes (CAPS) including Familial Cold Autoinflammatory Syndrome (FCAS), Muckle-Wells Syndrome (MWS), or Neonatal Onset Multisystem Inflammatory Disease (NOMID) in Japan. The study will assess the efficacy and safety of canakinumab in Japanese patients with cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes (CAPS). In previous and currently ongoing CAPS studies (CACZ885A2102, CACZ885D2201, CACZ885D2304, CACZ885D2306), it has been observed that treatment with canakinumab in patients with CAPS contributed to ensure absence of relapse, to improve signs and symptoms and to prevent secondary disease complications. However, no Japanese patients have been included in those studies. This study will allow access for Japanese patients to a new potentially efficacious treatment for CAPS patients with a convenient dosing regimen.
This study is a exploratory comparison of the efficacy and safety of paricalcitol injection with maxacalcitol injection in chronic kidney disease participants receiving hemodialysis with secondary hyperparathyroidism.
This study was designed to confirm the efficacy and safety of ranibizumab (0.5 mg) as adjunctive therapy when added to laser photocoagulation and/or as monotherapy in Asian patients with visual impairment due to Diabetic Macular Edema (DME).
This trial will assess the immunogenicity and safety elicited by the adjuvanted GSK Biologicals' influenza investigational vaccine GSK2340274A in healthy Japanese adults aged 20-64 years.
The purpose of this study is to verify the safety and efficacy of OPC-6535 and determine the optimal dose by once-daily oral administration of OPC-6535 at 25 or 50 mg or placebo for 8 weeks in combination with base treatment (either a fixed oral dose of 5-aminosalicylic acid [5-ASA] or a fixed oral dose of 5-ASA plus enteral nutrition) in 180 patients with active Crohn's disease.
Safety and efficacy of DE-105 ophthalmic solution in patients with persistent corneal epithelial defect will be evaluated. Dose-dependent efficacy will be evaluated as well.
Under the circumstances that appropriate first-choice guidewires for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for chronic total occlusion (CTO) have yet to be established, the objective of this study is to determine appropriate first-choice guidewires. G-FORCE study is a prospective multicenter randomized study between normal (distal tip size 0.014 inch) and slender (distal tip size 0.010 inch or less) guidewires. Primary end point is lesion penetration rate of the first choice guidewire.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether plasma exchange as well as immunosuppressive therapy are effective in reducing death and end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The trial will also study whether a reduced cumulative dosing regimen of glucocorticoids is as effective as a standard disease regimen. The FDA-OOPD is one of the funding sources for this study.
This phase IIb study is designed to determine the safe and efficacious dose or dose range of AFQ056 for the treatment of patients with moderate to severe Parkinson's disease with L-Dopa induced dyskinesias.
Evaluation of heparin/edoxaban tosylate (DU176b) versus heparin/warfarin in preventing recurrence of blood clots in patients with acute symptomatic deep-vein blood clots in the legs and/or blood clots in the lungs.
