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.
- It has been shown that patients who undergo liver resection surgery are at high risk for postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI). - Sevoflurane may increase the risk for postoperative AKI because of production of compound-A. - Therefore, we have planned to investigate the effects of different anesthetic agents on postoperative renal function. - Patients undergoing liver resection surgery are randomized into 2 groups. - One of the groups receives sevoflurane and the other group receives desflurane. - Blood and urine specimen are sampled both pre- and postoperatively, and several biomarkers are compared between the groups.
The study seeks to determine the accuracy of using anatomic and physiologic information measurable by computed tomography features of stenosis, plaque, fractional flow reserve-CT and to compare this measure to stress testing for the detection of myocardial ischemia against the gold standard of cardiac catheterization with fractional flow reserve. The hypothesis of this proposal is that integrating anatomic plaque features with physiologic fractional flow reserve-CT will optimize identification of coronary lesions that are ischemia-causing by computed tomography .
Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Lomitapide in Japanese Patients with Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia (HoFH) on Concurrent Lipid-Lowering Therapy.
This multicenter, open-label, phase 3 extension study will investigate the safety and efficacy of rVIII-SingleChain for prophylaxis and on-demand treatment of bleeding episodes in at least 200 previously treated patients (PTPs) with severe congenital hemophilia A and previous exposure to FVIII products who achieve at least 100 exposure days (EDs) to rVIII-SingleChain in this study, as well as in previously untreated patients (PUPs) with no previous exposure to any FVIII product who achieve at least 50 EDs to rVIII-SingleChain in this study. A substudy (open to both PTPs and PUPs) will investigate the use of rVIII-SingleChain in surgery. A substudy (open to PUPs who develop an inhibitor to rVIII-SingleChain) will investigate the use of rVIII-SingleChain in immune tolerance induction (ITI) therapy.
The safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of Z-213 will be investigated in patients with iron-deficiency anemia after administration of a single dose (100 mg, 500 mg, 800 mg or 1,000 mg iron).
The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the TurboHawk for the treatment of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in the superficial femoral and/or the popliteal arteries with the Japanese population.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of intravitreal ranibizumab by determining the pathogenesis of macular edema, which cause a direct effect on visual function. In particular, we focus on the correlation between the treatment effectiveness of ranibizumab and the role of the cytokines involved in the cause of macular edema.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate overall response rate (ORR) (complete response [CR] rate plus partial response [PR] rate) of ibrutinib (IMBRUVICA™; PCI-32765; JNJ-54179060), as assessed by an Independent Review Committee (IRC), in participants with relapsed or refractory mantle cell lymphoma (MCL-a cancer of the lymph nodes or tissues).
To evaluate the efficacy (based on mean change in Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory [CMAI] total score from baseline as the primary efficacy variable), dose-response, and safety of aripiprazole at 2, 3, and 6 mg/day in comparison with placebo in patients with agitation associated with Alzheimer's type dementia
The aim of this study is to compare the diagnostic accuracy of two EUS-guided tissue acquisition devices; the 25G Echotip Ultra Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) device and the 20G Echotip ProCore Fine Needle Biopsy (FNB) device.
