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 will look at how well the new medicine CagriSema helps people with excess body weight lose weight compared to another medicine, semaglutide. The participants will receive one injection once a week. The study medicine will be injected with a thin needle, typically in the stomach, thighs or upper arms. The study will last for about 1½ years.
A Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of AZD2693 given by subcutaneous injection in adult participants with non-cirrhotic non-alcoholic steatohepatitis with fibrosis and who are carriers of the PNPLA3 148M Risk Allele
This clinical trial aims to clarify the effect of hyaluronic acid on skin conditions.
The primary objective of this study is to: - Evaluate the safety and tolerability of AMG 305 in adult participants - Determine the optimal biologically active dose (OBD), at or below the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) with MTD 1 as the maximum tolerated starting dose and MTD 2 as the maximum tolerated target dose - Determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D)
Researchers are looking for a better way to treat people who have chronic kidney disease (CKD). The kidneys filter extra water and waste out of the blood and make urine. CKD is a long-term, progressive decrease in the kidneys' ability to work properly. The study treatment BAY3283142 is under development for treating CKD. It works by activating a protein called soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) that generates cGMP - a molecule that relaxes blood vessels and is thought to have beneficial effects in CKD. The participants of this study will be healthy and will have no benefit from the intake of the study treatment. However, the study will provide information on how to use BAY3283142 in subsequent studies in people with CKD. The main purpose of this study is to learn how safe the study treatment BAY3283142 is and how it affects the body in comparison to placebo when given as single and multiple amounts in healthy male participants in Japan. A placebo is a treatment that looks like a medicine but does not have any medicine in it. To do this, the study team will compare the number of participants who have medical problems after taking BAY3283142 with those participants who take placebo. These medical problems are called adverse events. The study doctors and their team keep track of all medical problems that happen in studies, even if they do not think they might be related to the study treatments. Another purpose of this study is to learn how the study treatment BAY3283142 moves into, through, and out of the body. To answer this, the study doctors and their team will take blood samples from the participants and measure: - The average highest level of BAY3283142 in the blood (also called Cmax) - The average total level of BAY3283142 in the blood (also called AUC). Dependent on the treatment group, the participants will either take BAY3283142 or placebo as tablet once a day. A group of participants will start out by receiving a low amount of the study treatment. The study doctors will look at the results from these participants and then decide whether to increase the amount of the study treatment in the next group of participants. Researchers use dose escalation studies to learn about the safety of a specific amount before participants are given a higher amount. Participants will be in the study for up to 7 weeks, including an in-house stay of up to 15 days. One test (screening) visit to the study center is planned before the start of treatment and one follow-up visit is planned after the end of treatment. During the study, the study team will: - check vital signs - do physical examinations - take blood and urine samples - examine the participants' heart health using electrocardiogram (ECG)
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of RO7434656, a novel Antisense Oligonucleotide (ASO) therapy in participants with primary IgA nephropathy (IgAN) who are at high risk of progressive kidney disease despite optimized supportive care.
This research is designed to determine if experimental treatment with Antibody-drug conjugate, AZD5335, alone, or in combination with anti-cancer agents is safe, tolerable, and has anti-cancer activity in patients with advanced tumors
The purpose of this study is to learn about the safety of the safety of the study medicine called infliximab for the possible treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), ulcerative colitis (UC, Crohn's disease, or psoriasis. RA is a kind of joint disease that causes pain and swelling. UC causes inflammation and sores (also called ulcers), in the lining of the rectum and colon. Chron's disease is a disease that lasts for a long time and causes severe irritation in your digestive tract. Psoriasis is a skin disease that gives you a dry, scaly rash. The study includes patient's data from the database who: - Have at least 90 days of look-back period - Have any of these diseases (RA, UC, Crohn's disease, or Psoriasis) in the 90-day look back period - Are 15 years of age or older at the time of first dosing All the patient's data included in this study would have received infliximab as intravenous (into veins) injection.
Researchers are looking for a better way to treat men at high-risk of biochemical recurrence (BCR) of prostate cancer. BCR means that in men who had prostate cancer and were treated by either surgery and/ or radiation therapy, the blood level of a specific protein called PSA rises. PSA is a marker of prostate cancer cells activity. The PSA increase means that the cancer has come back even though conventional imaging such as computed tomography (CT) scans, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and bone scans does not show any lesion of prostate cancer. Recently a more sensitive imaging method called prostate-specific membrane antigen [PSMA] positron emission tomography [PET]) /computed tomography [CT]) scan may identify prostate cancer lesions not detectable by conventional imaging. Men with BCR have a higher risk of their cancer spreading to other parts of the body, particularly when PSA levels raised to a certain limit within a short period of time after local therapies. Once the cancer spreads to other parts of the body, it can become even harder to treat. In men with prostate cancer, male sex hormones (also called androgens) like testosterone can help the cancer grow and spread. To reduce androgens levels in these patients, there are treatments that block androgens production in the body called androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). ADT is often used to stop prostate cancer. Another way to stop prostate cancer growth and spread is to block the action of androgen receptors on prostate cancer cells called androgen receptor inhibitors (ARIs). The new generation ARIs including darolutamide can block the action of androgens receptors and are available for the treatment of prostate cancer in addition to ADT. It is already known that men with prostate cancer benefit from these treatments. The main objective of this study is to learn if the combination of darolutamide and ADT prolongs the time that the participants live without their cancer getting worse, or to death due to any cause, compared to placebo (which is a treatment that looks like a medicine but does not have any medicine in it) and ADT given for a pre-specified duration of 24 months. To do this, the study team will measure the time from the date of treatment allocation to the finding of new cancer spread in the participants by using PSMA PET/CT, or death due to any cause. The PSMA PET/CT scans is performed using a radioactive substance called a "tracer" that specifically binds to the prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) which is a protein often found in large amounts on prostate cancer cells. To avoid bias in treatment, the study participants will be randomly (by chance) allocated to one of two treatment groups. Based on the allocated treatment group, the participants will either take darolutamide plus ADT or placebo plus ADT twice daily as tablets by mouth. The study will consist of a test (screening) phase, a treatment phase and a follow-up phase. The treatment duration is pre-specified to be 24 months unless the cancer gets worse, the participants have medical problems, or they leave the study for any reason. In addition, image guided radiotherapy (IGRT) or surgery is allowed and your doctor will explain the benefits and risks of this type of therapy. During the study, the study team will: - take blood and urine samples. - measure PSA and testosterone levels in the blood samples - do physical examinations - check the participants' overall health - examine heart health using electrocardiogram (ECG) - check vital signs - check cancer status using PSMA PET/CT scans, CT, MRI and bone scans - take tumor samples (if required) - ask the participants if they have medical problems About 30 days after the participants have taken their last treatment, the study doctors and their team will check the participants' health and if their cancer worsened. The study team will continue to check this and regularly ask the participants questions about medical problems and subsequent therapies until they leave the study for any reason or until they leave the study for any reason or until the end of the study, whatever comes first.
This is an observational study in which data from the past of people with solid tumors harboring an NTRK gene fusion in Japan are studied. In observational studies, only observations are made without specified advice or interventions. Advanced or recurrent solid tumor harboring an NTRK gene fusion is a rare type of solid cancer caused by specific changes in the genes called NTRK gene fusion, and which has spread to nearby tissues and/or lymph nodes or has returned. Due to this change in the gene, an altered protein known as a TRK fusion protein is made, which can cause cancer cells to grow and survive. The main purpose of this study is to learn more about NTRK gene fusion in people in Japan. To do this, researchers will collect information on the number or percentage of Japanese people with NTRK gene fusion in any solid tumor. The data will come from the national database called C-CAT. They will cover the period from June 2019 until January 2023. Besides this data collection, no further tests or examinations are planned, and no visits are required in this study.
