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 evaluate the antiinflammatory effects of rivaroxaban compared with dabigatran in patients with atrial fibrillation.
Subjects are patients who are planned to do percutaneous coronary intervention for coronary stenosis in the left circumflex artery without other stenosis in the left ascending artery and the right coronary artery, or a patient with normal coronary artery. Immediately after coronary angiography or percutaneous coronary intervention, the investigators will evaluate for coronary hemodynamics by distribution of wave intensity which is calcurated by coronary pressure and flow velocity with Combowire in each coronary segment. Also, they will assess coronary morphology by View It in each coronary segment.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Anagliptin or Sitagliptin are effective in reducing the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in patients with type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular risk factors on statin.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the hemostatic efficacy of andexanet alfa (andexanet) in participants receiving a factor Xa (FXa) inhibitor (apixaban, rivaroxaban, edoxaban, enoxaparin) who were experiencing an acute major bleed. The safety of andexanet was also studied.
This was a Phase III, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of omalizumab administered subcutaneously as an add-on therapy for the treatment of adolescent and adult participants 12 - 75 years who received the diagnosis of refractory chronic spontaneous uriticaria and who remained symptomatic despite standard-dosed non-sedating H1 antihistamine treatment.
Recent reports suggest that anti-VEGF agents (ranibizumab) may suppress the progression of retinal nonperfusion area. This protective effect would cause the increase of the oxygen consumption in the diabetic retina. We expect that the current study using the retinal oximetry would show the protective effects of ranibizumab on the hypoxia in the diabetic retina. This study is designed to analyze the effects of ranibizumab (Lucentis) to the retinal oxygen saturation or consumption in eyes with diabetic macular edema.
As we have previously reported, the primary cause of hip OA with accompanying joint pain might be bone alterations which can be microfracture. In order to prove it, it is planned that conservative treatment will be performed on the hip OA patients with accompanying joint pain for the first year. For the second year, if the patients still have joint pain, they will do non-weght bearing walk.
This study evaluates the prognostic value and therapeutic potential of combined pressure and flow measurements when evaluating a coronary artery stenosis. Lesions with intact coronary flow reserve (CFR) despite a reduced fractional flow reserve (FFR) will receive optimal medical therapy. Only lesions with a simultaneous reduction in both CFR and FFR will be treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Recently studies have shown that intravitreal injection of ranibizumab is effective for age related macular degeneration. However there are problems about injection regimen of maintenance phase. We plan to perform new simplified treat and extend regimen using ranibizumab.
Toric intraocular lens (IOL) is now widely used for the cataract surgery with preoperative corneal astigmatism. Symptomatic epiretinal membrane (ERM) is often treated with 25-gauge transconjunctival sutureless vitrectomy, resulting in good visual recovery. So far, however, limited information is available on the the stability of axis rotation, astigmatism correction, and improvement in uncorrected distance visual acuity, using astigmatism-correcting IOL in a 25-gauge transconjunctival sutureless vitrectomy combined with cataract surgery. In the current study, eyes with a preoperative corneal cylinder of more than 0.75 diopter had a triple procedure for idiopathic ERM using a toric IOL. Outcome measures will be the amount of IOL axis rotation, uncorrected visual acuity, corrected distance visual acuity, and corneal and refractive astigmatism up to 6 months postoperatively. We are expecting to show that postoperative IOL axis stability is similar to that reported for cataract surgery alone in vitrectomy (triple procedure) for idiopathic ERM with a toric IOL.
