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.
ASA is the most commonly drug used worldwide for prevention of cardiovascular diseases. However, ASA is increasingly recognized as a culprit for small bowel bleeding. Small bowel bleeding is notoriously difficult to diagnose because it is beyond the reach of conventional endoscopy. The advent of wireless, video capsule endoscopy has revolutionized the visualization of small bowel. Capsule endoscopy is a pill that contains a tiny camera for capturing pictures of the small bowel after being swallowed. Currently, capsule endoscopy is a recommended noninvasive approach of identifying the source of small bowel bleeding. Management of ASA-associated small bowel bleeding is a major clinical challenge since there is not a single effective treatment for small bowel ulcer, and continuation of ASA increases the risk of recurrent small bowel bleeding. However, discontinuation of ASA exposes patients to thrombotic complications. Suppression of prostaglandin synthesis is an important mechanism of ASA-induced small injury. Consistent with this theory, preliminary data from a case series showed that misoprostol, a prostaglandin analog, healed small bowel ulcers in ASA users. However, the efficacy of misoprostol in healing ASA-associated small bowel ulcers has not yet been confirmed by prospective randomized trials. This double-blind clinical trial tests the hypothesis that misoprostol can heal small bowel ulcers in Aspirin users complicated by small bowel bleeding.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of JNJ-268229 (Ultiva /Remifentanil Hydrochloride) in pediatric participants between 1 and 15 years of age during maintenance of general anesthesia.
The purpose of this study is to determine if eculizumab is safe and effective for the treatment of refractory generalized Myasthenia Gravis.
The primary purpose of this study is to determine the non-inferiority of overall survival XELIRI with or without Bevacizumab compared with FOLFIRI with or without Bevacizumab as Second-line therapy in Patient with Metastatic Colorectal Cancer.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate how the body processes the study drug known as insulin peglispro and how the study drug affects blood sugar in healthy male Japanese participants. This study will also evaluate safety of the study drug. The study will last up to 46 days for each participant, not including screening.
To examine the efficacy and safety of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) including cilostazol (Pletaal OD Tablet ®) in comparison with antiplatelet monotherapy (excluding cilostazol) for secondary prevention of ischemic stroke in high-risk patients for stroke
The purpose of this study is to investigate IOP reduction efficacy of travoprost 0.004% ophthalmic solution (TRAVATAN Z®) in subjects with normal tension glaucoma.
This Phase 3 study will investigate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of an oral daily dose of 20 mg or 80 mg tafamidis meglumine capsules compared to placebo in subjects with either transthyretin genetic variants or wild-type transthyretin resulting in amyloid cardiomyopathy.
The primary objective of the study is to compare the effect of 90-day treatment with ticagrelor (180 mg [two 90 mg tablets] loading dose on Day 1 followed by 90 mg twice daily maintenance dose for the remainder of the study) vs acetylsalicylic acid (ASA)-aspirin (300 mg [three 100 mg tablets] loading dose on Day 1 followed by 100 mg once daily maintenance dose for the remainder of the study) for the prevention of major vascular events (composite of stroke, myocardial infarction [MI], and death) in patients with acute ischaemic stroke or transient ischaemic attack (TIA).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of 2-mg lorazepam intravenous administration in healthy Japanese adult subjects.
