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 is a Phase 3, open label, long term follow-up (LTFU), multicenter, noncomparative, and single arm study of brivaracetam (BRV).
The purpose of this study is to assess safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamic effects (24-hours plasma cortisol area under curve, plasma cortisol pre and post ACTH stimulation, dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate (DHEAS), osteocalcin and 24 hours urine cortisol) of AZD5423 following administration of single and multiple ascending doses in healthy male Japanese subjects.
1. Objectives 1. To test whether Ursodeoxycholic Acid (UDCA) increases Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) response to nutrients and improves glycemic control in people with type 2 diabetes. 2. To test whether sitagliptin enhances UDCA-induced beneficial effect in GLP-1 levels and glycemic control. 3. To test safety of combination therapy of sitagliptin and UDCA in people with type 2 diabetes. 2. Clinical hypothesis. 1. UDCA increases GLP-1 response to nutrients via provoking bile acids excretion from the liver to the intestine/colon. 2. UDCA improves glycemic control in people with type 2 diabetes. 3. Sitagliptin enhances UDCA-induced response of GLP-1 to nutrients. 4. Sitagliptin has additive beneficial effects with UDCA in glycemic control in people with type 2 diabetes. 5. Combination therapy of sitagliptin and UDCA is safe and well-tolerated in people with type 2 diabetes. 6. The combination therapy may loose weight by unique mechanisms of each agent; GLP-1 inhibits appetite by acting on CNS and gastrointestinal motility, whereas UDCA-enhanced circulating primary bile acids increases energy expenditure through the pathway involving G protein-coupled bile acid receptor 1 (Gpbar1, or M-Bar, TGR-5) and subsequent activation of type 2 iodothyronine deiodinase (D2) in brown adipose and muscle tissues, as reported previously.
Tesetaxel is an orally active tubulin-binding inhibitor of the taxane class. Evaluation of tesetaxel in Japanese patients has been limited. This study is being conducted to determine the maximum tolerated dose and safety of tesetaxel administered orally once every 21 days to Japanese patients.
This is an Asian Phase 1, multi center, open label, single arm study of PF 03446962 with dose escalation and designed to define the Maximum Tolerated Dose [MTD] and the Recommended Phase 2 Dose [RP2D].
This was a Phase II, multicenter, non-randomized, open-label study to assess the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of dabrafenib administered as a single agent and in combination with trametinib in stage IV disease to subjects with BRAF mutant advanced non-small cell lung cancer. Central confirmation testing for the BRAF V600E mutation was performed and a sufficient number of subjects were enrolled with the intent of having at least 125 centrally confirmed subjects among the three cohorts.
Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic disease of unknown cause that results in scarring of the lung and there is a high unmet medical need for effective treatment to halt lung function decline, delay or avoid exacerbation (flare-ups), and ultimately to reduce the death rate. In a large Phase 2 trial (1199.30) (NCT00514683), investigating the effects of 52 weeks of treatment with BIBF 1120 in patients with IPF, a positive effect was seen on lung function of patients treated with high dose of BIBF 1120 compared to placebo. Hence it is the purpose of this trial to investigate and confirm the efficacy and safety of BIBF 1120 at a high dose in treating patients with IPF, compared with placebo. The trial will be conducted as a prospective, randomised design with the aim to collect safety and efficacy data. Respiratory function is globally accepted for assessment of treatment effects in IPF patients. The chosen endpoint (Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) decline) is easy to obtain and is part of the usual examinations done in IPF patients.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of AZD5213 in healthy young and elderly Japanese subjects
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of KAD-1229 as combination therapy with biguanide or DPP-4 inhibitor in type 2 diabetes patients who show inadequate glycemic control with diet, and biguanide or DPP-4 inhibitor monotherapy.
