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.
Aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is difficult to handle once it relapses or becomes refractory to chemotherapy. Various second or third line chemotherapies, which are called salvage chemotherapy, were developed without promising results. Improvement in efficacy by adding relatively new agent, rituximab, to chemotherapy is now widely accepted in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. This study will test the safety and efficacy of adding rituximab to existing salvage chemotherapy, ESHAP (R-ESHAP). Our aim is also to proceed to high-dose chemotherapy with autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation after successful R-ESHAP therapy.
This study is to verify the efficacy of fluvoxamine maleate given for 10 weeks in treatment of children and adolescents with obsessive-compulsive disorder
The purpose of this study to examine the safety and efficacy of OPC-6535 and determine its optimal dose by once-daily oral administration at 0, 25, or 50 mg for 8 weeks in combination with a fixed oral dose of 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) or in combination with a fixed oral dose of 5-ASA and enteral nutrition in patients with active Crohn's disease.
The purpose of this study is to examine the safety and efficacy of OPC-6535 (tetomilast) and to determine its optimal dose by once-daily oral administration at 0, 12.5, 25, or 50 mg for 8 weeks in combination with a fixed oral dose of 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) in patients with active ulcerative colitis.
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether ONO-4819CD is safe and effective in the treatment of mild to moderate ulcerative colitis.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and toxicity of amrubicin with carboplatin plus etoposide in elderly patients with extensive-disease small-cell lung cancer.
Intravenous- injection of beta-1,3-glucan in human is known to induce T helper type 1 response, while oral uptake did not. It was examined whether superfine dispersed beta-1,3-glucan (SDG) contrived to absorbed by intestinal mucosa would alleviate allergic symptoms by per-oral ingestion
This is a 12-week study to determine the effect on glucose and lipids, safety, and tolerability of four doses of tesaglitazar (0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1 mg) compared with placebo in patients with type 2 diabetes. Improvement in dyslipidemia will be evaluated. The study comprises a 2-week screening period, 4-week placebo run-in, a 12-week randomized, double blind, parallel group, multi-center, placebo-controlled treatment period, and a 3-week follow-up.
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of CMD-193 administered intravenously (IV) to subjects with advanced malignant tumors. The secondary purpose is to obtain preliminary information on the pharmacokinetics and antitumor activity of IV CMD-193.
The purpose of this study is to determine if stem cell therapy with your own cells (autologous cells) delivered with a catheter to regions of the heart with poor blood flow will be safe and if it will relieve your chest pain, increase the blood flow, and/or improve the cardiac contractility (function) by regenerating blood vessels in your heart.
