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 study was to test the hypothesis that the long-term use of highly (＞98%) purified EPA, in addition to HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor (statin), would be more effective than statin alone in preventing cardiovascular events in Japanese patients with hypercholesterolemia.
The Pompe Registry is a global, multicenter, international, longitudinal, observational, and voluntary program for patients with Pompe disease, designed to track the disease's natural history and outcomes in patients, both treated and not. Data from the Registry are also used to fulfill various global regulatory commitments, to support product development/reimbursement, and for other research and non-research related purposes. The objectives of the Registry are: - To enhance understanding of the variability, progression, identification, and natural history of Pompe disease, with the ultimate goal of better guiding and assessing therapeutic intervention. - To assist the Pompe medical community with the development of recommendations for monitoring patients, and to provide reports on patient outcomes, to optimize patient care. - To characterize the Pompe disease population. - To evaluate the long-term effectiveness of alglucosidase alfa.
The purpose of the study is to verify superiority of the lafutidine group over the placebo group and non-inferiority to the famotidine group in terms of endoscopic healing rate of the patients with mild reflux oesophagitis. Furthermore, the followings are compared: The improvement effect in heartburn and other subjective symptoms, and dosing frequency of MALFA ® suspension (neutralizer) as well as incidence of adverse events among the lafutidine 20 mg/day treatment group, the famotidine 40 mg/day treatment group and the placebo treatment group in patients with mild reflux oesophagitis.
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of ONO-2506 compared to placebo in patients with acute ischemic stroke.
The purpose of the study is to compare progression-free survival of conventional paclitaxel and carboplatin vs weekly paclitaxel and carboplatin in patients with newly diagnosed stage II-IV ovarian epithelial, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer.
The study consisted of two parts. In Part 1 the study enrolled 38 patients (Step 1 Simon 2 step design) after which Step 2 was opened and the total enrollment target for the study (n=63) was exceeded due to a rapid enrollment (78 patients were entered). Part 2 of the study did not open due to the final overall insufficiency of efficacy observed in 78 patients. Sunitinib (SU011248) was administered orally daily for 4 weeks followed by a 2-week rest at a starting dose of 50 mg with provision for dose reduction based on tolerability. All patients received repeated cycles of sunitinib until disease progression, occurrence of unacceptable toxicity, or other withdrawal criteria were met. After discontinuation of treatment, patients were followed up in order to collect information on further antineoplastic therapy and survival.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether recombinant human hepatocyte growth factor is safe and effective in the treatment of fulminant and late-onset hepatic failure.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the balance between the risks and benefits of primary prevention by Aspirin in elderly Japanese patients with one or more cerebro/cardiovascular risk factors
