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.
To evaluate the wearing satisfaction of a new design of the PureVision soft contact lenses.
AG-013736 (axitinib) in combination with cisplatin and pemetrexed will be evaluated as first-line treatment of patients with locally advanced, recurrent, or metastatic non-squamous, non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, 6 x 3 cross-over study. All patients who meet the entry criteria will be required to stop taking any other anti-hypertensive agents than Adalat CR (controlled release), if taken, before starting 4 weeks (±7days) open-label Adalat CR 40 mg once daily (OD) treatment phase (baseline treatment period). Of them, those who are confirmed with their eligibility as subjects for the present study at the end of the baseline treatment period will be randomly allocated to one of the 6 treatment sequences on the basis of a computer-generated randomization list. Subsequently, BAY A1040 CR tablet 40 mg OD, 40 mg twice daily (BID) or 80 mg OD will be administered to a total of 6 weeks, 2 weeks per each treatment period (Period 1-3) under double-blind conditions using BAY A1040 CR tablet 40 mg and its placebo as follows (Double-blind treatment period).
This is an open-label, phase 1 study of ascending multiple oral doses of HKI-272 in combination with paclitaxel.
To measure lanthanum concentrations in bone in patients with hyperphosphatemia receiving dialysis
The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of multiple ascending oral doses of AZD1236 given to healthy young subjects for 13 days and to evaluate the single-dose relative bioavailability of the oral suspension and oral tablet formulations.
The multi-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, group-comparison study was designated to assess the long-term safety and efficacy of the antiplatelet drug cilostazol in preventing the recurrence of cerebral infarction in patients who had suffered a cerebral infarction 1 to 6 months prior to entering the trial.
RATIONALE: Studying samples of tumor tissue in the laboratory from patients with cancer may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer. It may also help doctors predict how patients will respond to treatment. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying tissue samples in predicting how well chemotherapy and radiation therapy will kill cancer cells in patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of AZD2066 when given as multiple doses to Japanese healthy male subjects. Four (4) consecutive multiple-ascending panels are planned. Subjects will start with an initial single dose that is followed by a wash-out period of 48 hours to adequately define the single-dose pharmacokinetics. For the third and forth dose panels, the wash-out period will be extended to be 96 hours to evaluate the safety of subjects. Thereafter the subjects will be dosed once daily for 10 days. Ten (10) subjects will be allocated to each dose panel and randomized to receive either AZD2066 or placebo.
The investigators previously reported that colonoscopy with a transparent retractable extension (TRE) device improved the adenoma detection rate without affecting intubation and withdrawal times. On the other hand, colonoscopy using narrow band imaging (NBI) is expected to lead to higher rate s of adenoma detection. The investigators compared the effects of TRE device on colorectal adenoma detection with those of NBI.
