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 will evaluate the efficacy and safety of brivaracetam at doses of 100 and 200mg/day compared to placebo as adjunctive treatment in adult focal epilepsy subjects with partial onset seizures not fully controlled despite current treatment with 1 or 2 concomitant antiepileptic drugs.
CAS-CARE study was conducted to evaluate the inhibitory effect of cilostazol, compared to that of other antiplatelet drugs, on in-stent restenosis following carotid artery stenting (CAS) in patients scheduled to undergo CAS. Study design is Multicenter Prospective Ranodomized Controlled Study, rondomized by cilostazol/non-cilostazol group prior to CAS. 900 patients will be enrolled for 2 years and followed 2 years with in-stent restenosis after CAS, evaluated by carotid ultrasound and angiography.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of HLA-A*2402 restricted epitope peptides CDCA1，URLC10，KIF20A，DEPDC1 and MPHOSPH1 emulsified with Montanide ISA 51.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of paliperidone palmitate in Japanese patients with schizophrenia. Secondary objectives of this study are to: explore the efficacy on symptoms of schizophrenia and the maintenance of treatment effect; explore the pharmacokinetics of paliperidone palmitate through sparse pharmacokinetic sampling.
Hereditary thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (Upshaw-Schulman syndrome) is a rare disorder characterized by thrombocytopenia as a result of platelet consumption, microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, occlusion of the microvasculature with von Willebrand factor-platelet-thrombic and ischemic end organ damage. The underlying patho-mechanism is a severe congenital ADAMTS13 (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin type 1 motif, 13) deficiency which is the result of compound heterozygous or homozygous ADAMTS13 gene mutations. Although considered a monogenic disorder the clinical presentation in Upshaw-Schulman syndrome patients varies considerably without an apparent genotype-phenotype correlation. In 2006 we have initiated a registry for patients with Upshaw-Schulman syndrome and their family members to identify possible triggers of acute bouts of TTP, to document individual clinical courses and treatment requirements as well as possible side effects of long standing plasma substitution, e.g. alloantibody formation or viral infections.
The main purpose of this study is to observe the incidence of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE), target vessel failure (TVF), target vessel revascularization (TVR) and stent thrombosis out to 5 years after the procedure in patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with everolimus-eluting stents for unprotected left main coronary artery (ULMCA) disease and lesions involving the ULMCA in Japan. The investigators will also establish a method of adjustment to the Japanese version of the SYNTAX score by conducting an assessment using the SYNTAX score recently reported in the US and Europe as well as the EuroSCORE, and by clarifying the differences of PCI procedures and treatment results in Japan with those reported in the US and Europe.
The primary objective of this study is to investigate the safety and tolerability of the anti-VEGFR-2 monoclonal antibody ramucirumab drug product in combination with docetaxel in Japanese participants with metastatic, or locally advanced breast cancer, with the aim of confirming the recommended dose of ramucirumab drug product (DP) in combination with docetaxel.
The purpose of this study is to assess the long-term safety, tolerability and efficacy of LCZ696.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether preoperative immunonutrition is effective on infectious complication and Th1/Th2 differentiation in patients with major hepatectomy.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether preoperative immunonutrition is effective on infectious complication and Th1/Th2 differentiation in patients with pancreaticoduodenectomy.
