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.
In this study, the investigators would like to analyze the bone mineral density (BMD) , bone turnover makers, and fracture prevention effects of denosumab in Japanese patients under clinical practice. The participants are treated in the investigators hospital, who are under severe osteoporotic condition. The main objective of this study is to investigate effects of denosumab. The researchers also investigate the effects of Effects of previous osteoporotic therapy to denosumab treatment. In this study, the investigators analyse the determinants of subsequent BMD increase and fracture preventing effect by teriparatide.
Epidemiological, clinicopathological and animal studies show that vascular disease in various forms contributes to cognitive decline. Increasing age is the strongest risk for dementia irrespective of whether it results from a vascular etiology or neurodegenerative disease processes such as in Alzheimer's disease (AD). AD and vascular cognitive impairment, the two most common causes of dementia, represent two extremes of a spectrum of disorders; however, a number of entities, which possess varying degrees of neurodegenerative and vascular pathologies, occur in between. The pure forms of the disorders are preferred for convenience to label, treat or manage but conditions within the spectrum are the norm rather than the exception as dementia advances. Therefore, combinatorial therapy directed at both vascular and neurodegenerative aspects of dementia is a promising approach for the treatment of dementia in the elderly. Cilostazol acts as an antiplatelet agent and has other pleiotropic effects based on phosphodiesterase-3-dependent mechanisms. Increasing evidence suggests that cilostazol offers endothelial protection, via pleiotropic effects. Intriguingly, cilostazol has been shown to decrease amyloid beta (Abeta) accumulation and protect Abeta-induced cognitive deficits in an experimental model. In a pilot study of 10 patients with moderate AD (mean MMSE score, 11.9 points) who received donepezil, cilostazol add-on treatment for 5-6 months demonstrated significantly increased MMSE score in comparison to baseline. Moreover, cilostazol was shown to be effective in preventing cognitive decline in patients with AD with cerebrovascular diseases, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and mild dementia who received donepezil. These results highlight the need for a comprehensive prospective cohort study to analyze the effect of cilostazol on the preservation of cognitive function in patients with early-stage cognitive impairment, namely MCI.
The objective of this study is to confirm the safety and effectiveness of the Lotus™ Valve System in the Japanese medical environment for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in symptomatic subjects with calcific, severe native aortic stenosis who are considered at high or extreme risk for surgical valve replacement.
Two independent study parts (i.e. Part A and Part B) are included in this trial. Part A will evaluate empagliflozin 10 mg + linagliptin and Part B will evaluate empagliflozin 25 mg + linagliptin. All analyses will be carried out separately for these study parts. The objective of Part A is to investigate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of the fixed dose combination (FDC) of empagliflozin 10 mg / linagliptin 5 mg compared with empagliflozin 10 mg plus FDC matching placebo administered orally once daily for 24 weeks in Japanese patients with T2DM (Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus) who have insufficient glycaemic control after 16 weeks of treatment with empagliflozin 10 mg alone once daily. The study is designed to show superiority of the FDC of empagliflozin 10 mg / linagliptin 5 mg over empagliflozin 10 mg plus FDC matching placebo after 24 weeks of treatment. The objective of Part B is to investigate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of the FDC of empagliflozin 25 mg / linagliptin 5 mg compared with empagliflozin 25 mg plus FDC matching placebo administered orally once daily for 24 weeks in Japanese patients with T2DM who have insufficient glycaemic control after 16 weeks of treatment with empagliflozin 25 mg alone once daily. The study is designed to show superiority of the FDC of empagliflozin 25 mg / linagliptin 5 mg over empagliflozin 25 mg plus FDC matching placebo after 24 weeks of treatment. The 24 week treatment period will be followed by a 28 week extension treatment period to evaluate further efficacy and safety up to 52 weeks.
Study to investigate the safety and efficacy of long-term daily use of JARDIANCE® Tablets in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus
The purpose of this study is to determine if the addition of apalutamide to ADT provides superior efficacy in improving radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) or overall survival (OS) for participants with mHSPC.
The purpose of this study to investigate the safety and effectiveness of nivolumab, and nivolumab combination therapy, to treat patients who have virus-associated tumors. Certain viruses have been known to play a role in tumor formation and growth. This study will investigate the effects of the study drugs, in patients who have the following types of tumors: - Anal canal cancer-No longer enrolling this tumor type - Cervical cancer - Epstein Barr Virus (EBV) positive gastric cancer-No longer enrolling this tumor type - Merkel Cell Cancer - Penile cancer-No longer enrolling this tumor type - Vaginal and vulvar cancer-No longer enrolling this tumor type - Nasopharyngeal Cancer - No longer enrolling this tumor type - Head and Neck Cancer - No longer enrolling this tumor type
This extension study will provide continued onartuzumab and/or parent trial (P-trial) designated control treatments to participants with cancer who were previously enrolled in a company-sponsored onartuzumab P-trial and who derived benefit, as assessed by the responsible investigator, from the therapy administered in the P-trial. The study will also collect safety data with regard to administration of continued onartuzumab therapy.
An Open-label, Safety Extension Study (OLSES) evaluating the longer-term safety and durability of response of subjects who completed 48 weeks of evaluations in the confirmatory safety and efficacy studies, CHS 0214-02 or CHS-0214-04, evaluating CHS-0214 in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and plaque psoriasis (PsO), respectively.
This is a Phase III, global, multicenter, open-label, randomized study to compare the efficacy and safety of 16 cycles (1 cycle duration=21 days) of atezolizumab (MPDL3280A) treatment compared with best supportive care (BSC) in participants with Stage IB-Stage IIIA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) following resection and adjuvant chemotherapy, as measured by disease-free survival (DFS) as assessed by the investigator and overall survival (OS). Participants, after completing up to 4 cycles of adjuvant cisplatin-based chemotherapy, will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive atezolizumab for 16 cycles or BSC.
