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.
The purpose of this clinical trial is to demonstrate the benefit of the immunotherapeutic product GSK1572932A when given to patients with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, after removal of their tumor. A course of 13 injections will be administered over 27 months. The Protocol Posting has been updated in order to comply with the FDA Amendment Act, Sep 2007.
The objectives of this trial conducted in early Parkinson's Disease (PD) patients are to determine the efficacy (as measured by the change from baseline to the end of the maintenance phase in the total score for the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) Parts II and III combined), safety, and tolerability of Pramipexole Extended Release (ER) (in daily doses from 0.375mg to 4.5mg q.d.) in comparison to placebo, and to test for non-inferiority between the two formulations (ER and IR) of pramipexole. In addition, the efficacy of Pramipexole Immediate Release (IR) will be compared to placebo, for assay sensitivity
To assess the safety and tolerability of ascending multiple oral doses of SAM-531, an investigational drug, in healthy Japanese young male and elderly subjects.To provide the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) profiles of multiple oral doses of SAM-531 in healthy Japanese young male and elderly subjects.
To investigate the dose response for changes from baseline in body weight as a primary endpoint and to investigate improvement in ascites, abdominal circumference, lower-limb edema, and pleural effusion as secondary endpoints in seven-day repeated oral administration of OPC-41061 at 7.5, 15, and 30 mg/day or placebo in cirrhosis patients with ascites despite taking conventional diuretics.
The primary objective of this study is to determine the recommended phase II dose of AVE0005 in combination with S-1 in Japanese cancer patients. The secondary objectives of this study are to assess the safety profile of AVE0005, to determine the pharmacokinetics of AVE0005, to make a preliminary assessment of antitumor effects.
The primary objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of Rimonabant (SR141716) compared to placebo on change in HbA1c and on relative change in body weight over 36 weeks in obese type 2 diabetic patients inadequately controlled with diet and exercise alone. The secondary objectives are: - To evaluate the effect of Rimonabant compared to placebo on other parameters related to the glucose control, waist circumference, Body Mass Index and metabolic parameters; - To evaluate the safety and tolerability of Rimonabant compared to placebo; - To evaluate the pharmacokinetics of Rimonabant.
The primary objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of SR141716 (rimonabant) compared to placebo on change in HbA1c and on relative change in body weight over 52 weeks in obese type 2 diabetic patients on monotherapy inadequately controlled with oral anti-diabetic drug (sulfonylurea or α-glucosidase inhibitor). The secondary objectives are: - To evaluate the effect of SR141716 compared to placebo on other parameters related to the glucose control, waist circumference, Body Mass Index and metabolic parameters - To evaluate the safety and tolerability of SR141716 compared to placebo - To evaluate the pharmacokinetics of SR141716
This study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of lapatinib taken together with capecitabine in Japanese patients. The study will proceed in two phases; the first phase(Part1) will lead to an evaluation of the mainly tolerability as well as PK parameters. If there are no major safety concerns in Part 1, the study will move into the second phase (Part 2) to further evaluate the safety and clinical activity.
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of ocrelizumab, compared with placebo, in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis who have an inadequate response to at least one anti-TNF-alpha therapy. Patients will be randomized to receive placebo, 200mg of intravenous ocrelizumab, or 500mg of i.v. ocrelizumab on days 1 and 15. A repeat course of i.v. treatment will be administered at weeks 24 and 26. All patients will receive stable doses of either concomitant methotrexate (7.5-25mg/week) or leflunomide (10-20mg po daily) and may receive additional DMARDs. The treatment period is planned for 48 weeks (until primary analysis) and then participants will enter the open label phase until the drug is commercialized. Target sample size is 1000.
This trial is conducted in Japan. The purpose of this trial is to investigate the safety and the effect of biphasic insulin aspart 50 compared to biphasic human insulin 50 in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
