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 is a phase III, multi-centre study of olaparib in combination with paclitaxel, compared with placebo in combination with paclitaxel in patients with advanced gastric cancer who have progressed following first-line therapy. Patients will be from China, Japan , Korea and Taiwan.
A study was to evaluate the safety and plasma concentration changes of quetiapine after repeated administration of FK949E (extended-release formulation of quetiapine) in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD).
The purpose of the study was to determine whether treatment with a PI3K inhibitor plus letrozole led to an increase in pathologic clinical response and Objective Response Rate compared to treatment with placebo plus letrozole in patients with Breast cancer.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of LCZ696 compared to valsartan in the reduction of cardiovascular death and heart failure(HF) hospitalizations in patients with HF with preserved ejection fraction.
Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is a rare, chronic, debilitating, and potentially life-threatening autoimmune disorder that is characterized by mucocutaneous blisters. Ofatumumab is a novel monoclonal antibody (mAb) that specifically binds to the human CD20 antigen, which is expressed only in B lymphocytes. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy, tolerability, and safety of ofatumumab injection for subcutaneous use (ofatumumab SC) 20 milligrams (mg) administered once in every 4 weeks, (with an additional 20 mg loading dose [i.e. 40 mg total] at both Week 0 and Week 4) in subjects with PV. It was anticipated that with sustained B-cell depletion in the presence of ofatumumab SC, and the resultant reduction of pathogenic anti Dsg (desmoglein) autoantibodies in PV, that clinical remission of the disease would result.
The primary purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of LY2940680 up to the global recommended dose in Japanese participants with advanced solid cancers.
This study is to determine the following information. 1. The occurrence of adverse drug reactions in clinical settings. 2. Factors potentially impacting safety, effectiveness, and other aspects.
This study is to compare the pharmacokinetics of FK949E low dose tablets and FK949E high dose tablets in non-elderly patients with major depressive disorder. The safety of FK949E in the population was also evaluated.
This study was designed to evaluate the effect of a targeted preoperative Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) detection by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) on either endogenous or exogenous postoperative MRSA infections in a high risk population undergoing gastroenterological surgery. The primary endpoint was to investigate whether the potentially high incidence of MRSA infections in patients with MRSA nasal colonization before surgery can be prevented with a PCR-based strategy. The second endpoint was to investigate the impact of acquisition of MRSA colonization after surgery on the occurrence of MRSA infections. Investigators hypothesize that postoperative MRSA infection is prevented by a targeted screening strategy in preoperative MRSA carrier, and there is limited effect in patients with postoperative MRSA acquisition.
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is inherited neuromuscular disorders due to mutation in the gene that encodes critical muscle protein called dystrophin. Currently, there is no effective treatment option for the disease. A pharmacological approach by promoting mRNA translation regardless of the presence of premature stop codons by nonsense mutation, called the readthrough strategy, has been developing recently for DMD with nonsense mutation. NPC-14 is a candidate compound for the readthrough strategy, since effective readthrough activities were demonstrated in nonclinical studies. This study is a phase II study designed to assess safety, tolerability, and efficacy of NPC-14 in ambulant DMD patients with nonsense mutation that were confirmed by whole genome analysis. These goals will be accomplished by monitoring adverse events by physical examination, cardiac, pulmonary, auditory, balance, and laboratory tests as safety endpoints, and dystrophin expression in muscle biopsy as primary efficacy endpoint, muscle function (NSAA, timed test, muscle strength (QMT, MMT) , dairy activities by lifecorder), and biomarkers as secondary efficacy endpoints. The study is a randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled study in 21 DMD patients. After screening, eligible patients are allocated dynamically to weekly NPC-14 or a placebo (saline) in a 2:1 ratio and will receive study drugs for 36 weeks.
