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.
THAOS is a global, multi-center, longitudinal observational survey open to all patients with transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR), including ATTR-PN (polyneuropathy), ATTR-CM (cardiomyopathy) and wild-type ATTR-CM. It is open-ended with a minimum duration of 10 years. Patients will be followed as long as they are able to participate. The principal aims of this outcome survey are to better understand and characterize the natural history of the disease by studying a large and heterogenous patient population. Survey data may be used to develop new treatment guidelines and recommendations, and to inform and educate clinicians about the management of this disease.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety and to determine the appropriate dose for phase 3 confirmatory trial, of MP-513 (Teneligliptin) in patients with type 2 Diabetes based on the change of HbA1c and adverse events after 12 weeks administration once daily in multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel assignment manner.
The purpose of this study is to determine which stent type is effective in the decrease of postoperative stay and complications across pancreaticojejunostomy after pancreaticoduodenectomy.
GnRH analogs are globally used for assisted reproduction in infertile patients. To date, in healthy female volunteers the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles of cetrorelix when administered in a single dose have been investigated in studies conducted using doses of 1, 3 and 5 mg. Studies performed in premenopausal female volunteers confirmed that cetrorelix rapidly suppresses luteinizing hormone (LH) and estradiol and shows dose-dependent prolongation of the duration of LH suppression. However, there have been few reports of studies of the relationship between the cetrorelix dosage and its effect on LH surge. In the present study, we investigated the effect of cetrorelix on LH surge when this drug was administered in single doses of 1, 2 and 3 mg.
This is a study to investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of epoetin beta 36,000 IU compared with placebo when administrated subcutaneously (s.c.) once-weekly for 12 weeks to anemic patients with lung cancer or gynecologic cancer undergoing chemotherapy.
A comparison of oral prednisolone administration with intravenous methylprednisolone infusion in the treatment of acute asthma exacerbation in hospitalized patients. Oral glucocorticosteroids administration may be effective as intravenous high-dose methylprednisolone infusion.
The PRET study aims at comparing two types of coils used in the endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms. The first type made of platinum has been used for more than 15 years. The other, referred to as hydrocoil, containing in addition to platinum a polymer layer that expands when in contact with blood, has been in use since 2002. The hypothesis of the PRET study is that the newer hydrocoil will be more effective and yet as safe as the older platinum coil.
Enthuse M0 is a large phase III clinical trial studying the efficacy of ZD4054 (Zibotentan) in hormone resistant prostate cancer (HRPC). This clinical trial will test if the Endothelin A Receptor Antagonist ZD4054 (Zibotentan) can improve progression-free survival and overall survival against a background of existing prostate cancer treatments. ZD4054 (Zibotentan) is a new type of agent, which is thought to slow tumour growth and spread by blocking Endothelin receptor activity. This trial will look at the effects of ZD4054 (Zibotentan) in hormone resistant prostate cancer (HRPC) patients who have had rising PSA after surgical or medical castration but have no evidence of metastases. All patients participating in this clinical trial will receive existing prostate cancer treatments in addition to trial therapy. Half the patients will receive ZD4054 (Zibotentan) , and half the patients will receive placebo in addition to standard prostate cancer therapy. By participating in this trial there is a 50% chance that patients will receive an agent that may slow the progression of the tumour. No patients will be deprived of standard prostate cancer therapy.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immune response of different doses of URLC10 peptide emulsified with Montanide ISA51 in combination with gemcitabine. Recommended phase II dose will be also determined.
This study is being conducted to provide safety, tolerability, PK and PD data in repeat dosing that will allow further studies with darapladib in Japanese patients
