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 randomized, prospective trial will study the effect of very early cooling in patients undergoing surgical evacuation of acute subdural hematomas (35°C prior to opening the dura followed by maintenance at 33°C for a minimum of 48h). Intravascular cooling catheters (Thermogard XP Device, Zoll) will be utilized to induce hypothermia or to maintain normothermia. The primary objective is to determine if rapid induction of hypothermia prior to emergent craniotomy for traumatic subdural hematoma (SDH) will improve outcome as measured by Glasgow Outcome Scale-Extended (GOSE) at 6 months.
Evaluate efficacy and safety up to 36 months of titrated dose treatment with BAY85-3934 versus epoetin alfa/beta. Titration will be based on the subject's hemoglobin (Hb) response and tolerability of the prior dose. Planned doses include 15, 25, 50, 75, 100,and 150 mg once daily.
The present phase II/III, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel group comparative study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of oral administration of NE-58095NF(New formulation) tablets for 12 months in patients with involutional osteoporosis. For this study, patients receiving oral NE-58095 2.5-mg tablets once daily for 12 months are set as the control group.
This study is to determine whether canakinumab is able to induce and maintain a clinically meaningful reduction of disease activity in participants with Hereditary Periodic Fevers (HPF) compared to placebo.
This is a multicentre, randomised, double-blind, parallel group study in Asian subjects. The aim of the study is to investigate whether combination therapy with dutasteride and tamsulosin is more effective than tamsulosin monotherapy for the improvement of symptoms and health outcomes in an at risk population of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) clinical progression including older men (>=50 years), with moderate-severe symptoms of BPH, enlarged prostates (>=30 cubicentimeter [cc]) and prostate specific antigen (PSA) >= 1.5 nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL). Each subject who met the eligibility criteria at screening will enter a four-week single-blind, placebo run-in period following which each subject will be randomised into a 2 year double-blind treatment phase. The total study duration for each subject will be up to 110 weeks.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) lowering effect of Bococizumab (PF-04950615;RN316) administered subcutaneously at every two weeks (Q14D) in hypercholesterolemic Japanese subjects whose LDL-C is not controlled by a stable dose of atorvastatin, or who are naïve to a treatment by lipid lowering drug and whose LDL-C is not controlled.
Anaemia is a condition in which blood has a lower than normal number of red blood cells. It can also occur if red blood cells do not contain enough haemoglobin, an oxygen carrying part of blood. Anaemia is common in patients with chronic kidney disease. Healthy kidneys produce a hormone called erythropoietin, which stimulates the bone marrow to produce the proper number of red blood cells needed to carry oxygen to vital organs. Chronic kidney disease is a general term that means that the kidneys are not functioning to their full potential. The study drug, BAY85-3934, is being evaluated as a drug to increase the body's ability to produce erythropoietin. The purpose of this extension study is to find out if the study drug, a tablet taken orally, is safe and effective for the treatment of anaemia associated with chronic kidney disease. The extension study will enroll up to 240 patients at multiple locations in Europe, Asia and Australia. Patients who participated in Studies 15141 or 15261 may be eligible to take part in the extension study. The study consists of the Haemoglobin (Hb) Stabilisation Phase and the Main Phase. The Hb Stabilisation Phase involves up to 10 study visits scheduled over 16 weeks. The Main Phase will last for at least 6 months and up to a maximum of 36 months, with visits every 4 weeks. During these scheduled visits patients will undergo a number of procedures to confirm efficacy and safety of the study drug, including measurement of heart rate and blood pressure, physical examination, Electrocardiogram and blood/urine sample collection for laboratory tests. The study will be conducted at 5 hospitals in the UK. Bayer HealthCare AG is funding this research. This study will include subjects who either completed the treatment period in their respective Phase 2 parent study (i.e., Study 15141 or Study 15261) or experienced a stopping event in the fixed dose parent study (Study 15141). As Study 15141 is a double-blind study, subjects will be unblinded as per the Study 15141 protocol prior to entry into the extension study.
This trial is conducted globally. The aim of this trial is to investigate efficacy and safety of semaglutide once-weekly versus placebo in drug-naïve subjects with type 2 diabetes. (SUSTAIN™ 1-Monotherapy).
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of 3 dose levels of MEDI9929 (AMG 157) on asthma exacerbations in adult subjects with inadequately controlled, severe asthma.
This study will examine the long-term safety and efficacy of rIX-FP for the control and prevention of bleeding episodes in children and adults with severe hemophilia B. The study will include subjects who have not previously been treated with Factor IX products, subjects who previously completed a CSL-sponsored rIX-FP lead-in study and subjects requiring major non-emergency surgery who have not previously completed a CSL-sponsored rIX-FP lead-in study. A surgical prophylaxis substudy will examine the efficacy of rIX-FP in subjects with hemophilia B who are undergoing non-emergency major or minor surgery. An additional substudy will examine the safety and PK of subcutaneous (SC) administration of rIX-FP.
