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.
The investigators identified three cancer-testis antigens, as targets for cancer vaccination against lung cancer. In this clinical study, the investigators examine using a combination of three peptides from these three antigens (S-488410) the safety, immunogenicity, and antitumor effect of vaccine treatment for advanced non-small cell lung cancer patients.
The purpose of this study is to assess the pharmacokinetics of AZD6140 and its active metabolite, safety, tolerability of AZD6140 following single administration in healthy male Japanese volunteers.
Recently, DPP-IV inhibitors are used as a novel way to augment the incretin system and one of the newest classes of medications in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Since the DPP-IV inhibitor was first used, about 5 years have passed in USA. However, there were no major side effects including occurrence of cancers. The main mechanism for DPP-IV inhibitors is due to suppress the function of DPP-IV activity. As it is known that the suppressed DPP-IV activity is a marker for early diagnosis of cancers, the reason of disassociation is not clear. Activation of receptor for advanced glycation endproduct (AGE) is related to sideration of cancers. Meanwhile, the DPP-IV inhibitors may be related to inhibit the activation of receptor for AGE (RAGE). Therefore, DPP-IV inhibitors may work as a cancer protective agent in diabetes by blocking the AGE-RAGE axis. However, it is not demonstrated why DPP-IV inhibitors have no side effect of occurrence of cancer via blocking the activation of AGE-RAGE. The investigators examined effect of DPP-IV inhibitors on frequency of cancers and the underlying mechanism using AGE and RAGE before and 5 years after administration of DPP-IV inhibitors in Japanese patients with T2DM.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and tolerability of AZD 1208 up to a maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and define the dose(s) for further clinical evaluation when given daily to patients with advanced solid malignancies including malignant lymphoma
To investigate the efficacy and safety of AK160 in patients with Dupuytren's Contracture. To determine plasma concentration after the first injection of AK160 in patients with Dupuytren's Contracture.
This study is conducted in Japan. The aim of this registry study is to observe the use of single dose and multi-dose use of eptacog alpha (NovoSeven®) and to compare short-term outcomes, including effectiveness, safety, quality of life and treatment satisfaction with the approved treatments.
The purpose of the study is to compare the efficacy of Ipilimumab and standard of care as sequential or maintenance treatment immediately after first-line chemotherapy in the treatment of unresectable or metastatic gastric and gastro-esophageal cancer.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of treatment with TAK-875 in diabetic patients.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the the efficacy of TA-650 using Clinical activity index (CAI) score and other evaluation indicators in pediatric patients with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis after TA-650 administration of at a dose of 5 mg/kg at weeks 0, 2, and 6, and then every 8 weeks at weeks 14 and 22. The safety and pharmacokinetics are also evaluated.
Primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of single-dose treatment with GSK1358820 compared with non-treatment in patients with strabismus based on angles of strabismus in the primary position.
