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.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as S-1 and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells. Giving chemotherapy before surgery may shrink the tumor so that it can be removed. It is not yet known whether giving S-1 together with cisplatin before surgery is more effective than surgery followed by S-1 in treating stomach cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying how well giving S-1 together with cisplatin before surgery works compared to surgery followed by S-1 in treating patients with stage III stomach cancer.
This is a multicenter, post-marketing, clinical study evaluating the safety and efficacy of postoperative adjuvant therapy with Imatinib Mesylate in high-risk patients after curative resection of newly diagnosed GIST.Patients will be evaluated for relapse -free survival as measured by the confirmation of tumor recurrence and survival for 3 years after surgery for their primary tumors.
To evaluate efficacy and safety of E2014 (2500U, 5000U, 10000U, placebo) in a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel group comparative study by intramuscularly administering to patients with spasmodic torticollis. Primary endpoint for efficacy evaluation is changes in TWSTRS total scores from baseline measured at Week 4 and the clinical recommended dose will be examined with Williams multiple comparison. For safety evaluation, an inter group comparison (active drug and placebo) will be performed mainly focusing on incidence of adverse events, adverse drug reactions, and abnormal changes in laboratory parameters.
To investigate the efficacy and safety of KES524 in patients with obesity (visceral fat obesity with type 2 diabetes and dyslipidemia), a 52-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled comparative study is conducted. This study aims to examine superiority of KES524 to placebo by employing change and percent change in body weight (primary endpoints) and changes in proportion of subjects achieving ≧ 5% weight reduction, BMI, waist circumference, visceral fat area, subcutaneous fat area, V/S ratio by abdominal CT scan, HbA1c, TG and HDL-C (secondary endpoints).
To investigate esophageal reflux condition in patients with non-erosive gastroesophageal reflux disease by assessing with a 24-hour esophageal pH monitoring or effects of a 4-week treatment with 5 mg/day or 10 mg/day of E3810 (Pariet (Rabeprazole Sodium)).
To evaluate the dose-response efficacy of E2020 (5 mg/day and 10 mg/day) versus placebo and verify superiority of E2020 to placebo in patients with severe AD using CIBIC-plus* and SIB** as the primary efficacy measures. Safety of E2020 will also be evaluated. (*for overall evalution of clinical symtoms) (**for cognitive function test)
To investigate the efficacy and safety of a 4-week treatment of 5 mg/day or 10 mg/day of E3810 (Pariet (Rabeprazole Sodium)) in patients with non-erosive gastroesophageal reflux disease in a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, comparative study.
To establish the optimum injection rate for E7337 (Iomeron 350) in dynamic CT in patients who have hepatic lesions.The primary endpoint for efficacy is the contrast enhancement effect in the early arterial phase, and the primary safety endpoints are warming sensation and vascular pain.
To investigate a new incidence and preventive effect of menatetrenone on vertebral fracture in patients with osteoporosis who were randomly assigned to either treatment arm receiving daily dose of calcium supplement as a monotherapy (calcium monotherapy group) or menatetrenone plus calcium supplement as a combination therapy (menatetrenone combo therapy group) for 36 months, followed by a 12-month follow-up observation to examine the preventive effect on the fracture risk.
The purpose of this study is to assess the protective effect of Valsartan on chronic cardiotoxicity induced by CHOP.
