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 first-in-human study of GSI-136, a gamma-secretase inhibitor being developed for the treatment of Alzheimer disease. This study will take place in Japan only and will provide an initial assessment of the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of GSI-136 after administration of ascending single oral doses to healthy Japanese male subjects and healthy Japanese elderly male subjects.
Dry eye disease is related with oxidative stress at the ocular surface. GSH is one of the key factor of protect from oxidative stress. To evaluate thiol status of ocular surface cells by monitoring GSH concentration, we can evaluate the severity of dry eye.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of subcutaneous (under the skin) administration of anti-interleukin-6 monoclonal antibody (CNTO 136) in reducing signs and symptoms of participants with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with methotrexate (MTX) therapy.
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of nilotinib in gastrointestinal stromal tumors patients who failed imatinib and sunitinib therapy.
This study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of nilotinib after failure of imatinib therapy or imatinib therapy after nilotinib failure.
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether statins have any influence on cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 enzyme activity using a probe drug midazolam.
Patients with rheumatoid arthritis who have been well controlled with methotrexate plus infliximab may remain in remission or low disease activity without infliximab. And the chance of sustained remission increase by the addition of another DMARD, bucillamine, at the time of discontinuing infliximab. The BuSHIDO trial is the prospective, randomized, controlled study comparing MTX monotherapy and MTX plus bucillamine combination therapy as to the rate of disease flare after discontinuing infliximab.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the benefits and risks of lixisenatide (AVE0010), in comparison to placebo, as an add-on treatment to sulfonylurea without or with metformin, over a period of 24 weeks of treatment, followed by an extension. The primary objective is to assess the effects of lixisenatide when added to sulfonylurea with or without metformin on glycemic control in terms of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) reduction (absolute change) at Week 24. The secondary objectives are to assess the effects of lixisenatide on percentage of patients reaching HbA1c less than (<) 7 percent (%); percentage of patients reaching HbA1c less than or equal to (<=) 6.5%; body weight; fasting plasma glucose (FPG); beta-cell function assessed by homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) beta; 2-hour postprandial plasma glucose (PPG), glucagon, insulin, proinsulin, and C-peptide after a standardized meal challenge test in a sub-study in all patients in selected centers; to evaluate safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and anti-lixisenatide antibody development.
This study is aimed to analyze the effects of aggressive and conventional lipid lowering therapy with Pravastatin on carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) in patients with hyperlipidemia and abnormal thickening of IMT.
This study is designed to show bioequivalence between Current and New formulation of Aciclovir cream 5% in keratin layer of the epidermis in Japanese Subjects
