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.
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether statins have any influence on cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 enzyme activity using a probe drug midazolam.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the benefits and risks of lixisenatide (AVE0010), in comparison to placebo, as an add-on treatment to sulfonylurea without or with metformin, over a period of 24 weeks of treatment, followed by an extension. The primary objective is to assess the effects of lixisenatide when added to sulfonylurea with or without metformin on glycemic control in terms of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) reduction (absolute change) at Week 24. The secondary objectives are to assess the effects of lixisenatide on percentage of patients reaching HbA1c less than (<) 7 percent (%); percentage of patients reaching HbA1c less than or equal to (<=) 6.5%; body weight; fasting plasma glucose (FPG); beta-cell function assessed by homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) beta; 2-hour postprandial plasma glucose (PPG), glucagon, insulin, proinsulin, and C-peptide after a standardized meal challenge test in a sub-study in all patients in selected centers; to evaluate safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and anti-lixisenatide antibody development.
This study is designed to show bioequivalence between Current and New formulation of Aciclovir cream 5% in keratin layer of the epidermis in Japanese Subjects
The objective of the Phase I step is to estimate the MTD at a dose level up to 50 mg/day (i.e., overseas recommended Phase II dose) in patients with advanced NSCLC and to determine the recommended dose for the Phase II step. The objective of the Phase II step is to estimate the efficacy of BIBW 2992 monotherapy in patients with first generation EGFR-TKI-resistant advanced NSCLC at the recommended dose determined in the Phase I step.
The study evaluates the efficacy and safety of SM-13496 compared with placebo in patients with schizophrenia.
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of weak extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields (ELF-EMF) in mild and moderate essential hypertension.
This study involves the use of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) contrast agents called gadobutrol (Gadavist) Injection and ProHance Injection. The purpose of this study is to look at the safety (what are the side effects) and efficacy (how well does it work) of gadobutrol when used for taking MR images of the brain and spine. The results of the MRI with gadobutrol Injection will be compared to the results of MR images taken without contrast and with the results of the MR images taken with ProHance.
To evaluate the procedural, short and long term clinical outcomes of the TAXUS stent compared to Cypher stent in coronary arteries of ≥ 2.5 and ≤ 3.75 mm in the reference vessel diameter with a lesion of ≤ 46 mm (by visual observation) in routine clinical settings in Japan.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of TA-7284 orally administered once daily for 15 days (1 day followed by a 1 day washout period and then 14 consecutive days). Dose escalation design is utilized in this study, and dose escalation of TA-7284 will be starting with 25 mg (step 1). Subsequent doses of 100 mg (step 2), 200 mg (step 3) and 400 mg (step 4) are planned after review of the tolerance and PK of the previous step.
Benzodiazepines (BZDs) have been reported to cause negative impacts on motor as well as cognitive functions, which in turn could result in lethal incidents including falls especially in the elderly. This notwithstanding, few trials have evaluated a feasibility and benefits of discontinuing BZD-derivative hypnotics in a systematic manner in this frail population. In this 8-week open-label study, we examined changes in motor and cognitive functions following the discontinuation of BZD hypnotics in older persons. OBJECTIVES & HYPOTHESES 1. Primary Objective The primary objective is to examine the feasibility of discontinuing BZD-derivative hypnotics in older people. 2. Secondary Objectives 1. One of the secondary objectives is to examine the magnitude of discontinuing BZD-derivative hypnotics in the stability of body. 2. Another secondary objective is to examine the magnitude of discontinuing BZD-derivative hypnotics in cognitive function. Hypotheses 1. More than 80% of the participants will complete and tolerate all the study procedures. 2a. Participants will show an improvement in the stability of body. 2b. Participants will show an improvement in the cognitive function globally as well as specifically in attention.
