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 investigation targets either the patients of 18 years-old or older and under 65 years-old with organic or mixed erectile dysfunction (ED) who cannot obtain sufficient efficacy by dose 10mg of Levitra, and the target patients dose is increased to Levitra 20mg. This investigation will be limited to the patients whose tolerability of Levitra 10mg is judged to be no problem.
The purpose of this study is to compare the Overall Survival (OS) of HCC patients who receive brivanib as adjuvant treatments to TACE therapy, with the OS of HCC patients who receive matched placebo with TACE therapy.
The study is to evaluate safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetics of intravenously administered fosphenytoin in patients with neurosurgery, head trauma, epilepsy or status epilepticus who are requiring a loading dose of phenytoin.
The purpose of the present study is to investigate how the health of donors in living donor lung transplantation will change after transplant operations.
The purposes of the present study are (1) to analyze baseline patient characteristics cross-sectionally, (2) to analyze the prognosis and its predictive factors, and (3) to examine longitudinal clinical course in patients with chronic respiratory failure receiving domiciliary NPPV.
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an age-related degenerative disorder of the brain, characterized by progressive decline in cognitive function and ability to perform activities of daily living, and ultimately can lead to death due to complications of the disease. AD is thought to be caused by an excess of A-Beta amyloid, a sticky protein in the brain that forms amyloid plaques. Treatments that slow the synthesis or deposition of A-Beta amyloid, or that increase clearance, might be expected to slow the progression of AD. LY2062430 (solanezumab) is a humanized anti-A Beta peptide immunoglobulin G-1 (IgG1) monoclonal antibody being developed for the treatment of AD. The primary hypothesis being tested is that LY2062430 will slow cognitive and functional decline in AD as compared with placebo. Each patient's participation will last approximately 19 months. Patients taking approved AD medications may participate in this study and continue taking these medications during the study.
The purpose of this study is to compare the benefits and risks of lixisenatide (AVE0010) used as 2-step initiation regimen and 1-step initiation regimen in Japan, over a period of 24 weeks of treatment, followed by an extension up to Week 76. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety of lixisenatide once daily treatment in monotherapy at Week 24 by a descriptive comparison of a 1-step initiation and a 2-step initiation regimen in patients with type 2 diabetes in Japan. The secondary objectives are to assess the overall safety of lixisenatide once daily treatment in monotherapy at Week 52 and Week 76; to assess the effects of lixisenatide on glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) reduction at Week 52 and Week 76, body weight, and fasting plasma glucose (FPG); to assess pharmacokinetics (PK) and anti-lixisenatide antibody development.
This phase I study will evaluate safety and tolerability after repeated doses of AZD0837.

By using gene-expression profiling, Van't Veer and colleagues developed a 70-gene prognosis profile, MammaPrint, to identify breast cancer patients who are at low risk of developing distant metastases and therefore might safely be spared chemotherapy. The aim of this study is to evaluate the prognostic value of the 70-gene Mammaprint profile in Japanese women with node-negative breast cancer.
