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 study will identify chemical and protein markers in the blood of people who carry the human T-lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I), a virus associated with various pathologies, including an increased risk in adults of a rare and aggressive cancer called adult T cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL). The study will also examine differences in these markers before and after the onset of ATL. ATL has been reported in every area where HTLV-1 is common, including the Caribbean and parts of Japan, West Africa, the Middle East, South America, and Pacific Melanesia. Risk factors for the disease are largely unknown and seem to vary among those affected in different endemic regions. People who acquire the infection early in life are thought to be at higher risk than those who are infected later. In Japan, men seem to be at greater risk than women, but the same is not evident among the black population in the Caribbean and Brazil. Findings from this study will increase understanding of the cause of ATL and identify differences in tumor characteristics and the course of disease across geographical areas. Study subjects are drawn from among participants in eight studies of HTLV-1 carriers, including the 1) Jamaica Mother-Infant Cohort Study, 2) Jamaica Family Study, 3) Jamaica Food Handlers Study, 4) Miyazaki Cohort Study in Japan, 5) Nagasaki Cohort Study in Japan, 6) Japan Public Health Center-based Prospective Study on Cancer and Cardiovascular Disease, 7) HTLV Outcome Studies in the United States, and 8) GIPH Cohort Study in Brazil. Stored blood samples previously collected from patients in the above studies who did and did not develop ATL will be analyzed for immunologic and genetic factors.
The primary objective of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or the maximum administered dose (MAD) of Dasatinib (BMS-354825) in patients in Japan.
The purpose of the study is to assess the efficacy and safety of repeated administration of adalimumab in adult Japanese subjects with moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis.
This study was designed to explore the drug levels in the blood in Japanese HIV-infected patients taking EPZICOM tablet at least for 2 weeks prior to administration of the study drug. Pharmacokinetics after administration of EPZICOM tablet will be investigated in a total of 8 subjects.
This study is composed of Phase I and Phase II part. Phase I part: The objective is to evaluate the safety of BMS-354825 in subject with chronic phase Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML). Dosage of BMS-354825 will be 50 mg BID, 70 mg BID or 90 mg BID. Phase II part: The objective is to evaluate the efficacy of BMS-354825. dosage will be decided according to the results of Phase I part. Treatment period will be 6 months for subjects with chronic phase CML, and 3 months for subjects with accelerated phase or blast phase CML and Philadelphia Chromosome Positive Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (Ph+ALL)
This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial will carry out to assess the efficacy of GB-0998 in the treatment of the steroid-resistant polymyositis and dermatomyositis based on the changes in manual muscle strength (MMT) scores as primary endpoint, and in addition, to assess the safety of GB-0998.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of ONO-5129 in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
The purpose of this study is to compare eritoran tetrasodium and placebo in patients with severe sepsis and to demonstrate a reduction of mortality from all causes.
