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 aim of this study is to compare the preventive effect of Telmisartan(Micardis) versus placebo control on the transition to overt nephropathy in patients with diabetic nephropathy manifesting microalbuminuria associated with type II diabetes, and to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Telmisart (Micardis, Gliosartan, Kinzal, Kinzalmono, Predxal, Pritor, Samertan, Telmisartan) for diabetic nephropathy patients.
The purpose of the trial is to determine if extended-release dipyridamole + aspirin [Aggrenox, Asasa ntin] is superior to clopidogrel [Plavix], and if telmisartan [Micardis, Gliosartan, Kinzal, Kinzalm ono, Predxal, Pritor, Samertan, Telmisartan] is superior to placebo, in the presence of background antihypertensive therapy, in prevention of a second stroke in patients who have recently suffered a stroke and therefore are at high risk of suffering another one.
1. To investigate the dose response of the combination therapy, Telmisartan and Hydrochlorothiazide for the Japanese patients with Essential Hypertension. 2. To compare this dose response with that in the US study.
The objective of this trial is to investigate the efficacy and safety of pramipexole (0.125-0.75 mg) orally once daily as compared with placebo for 6 weeks in patients with primary restless legs syndrome (RLS) and to investigate the reliability of the Japanese version of the RLS rating scale by the International Restless Legs Syndrome Study Group (IRLSSG) as a sub-study.
This is a controlled study designed to evaluate the efficacy of UFT on survival compared with surgery alone. Patients will be randomly assigned to receive either surgery alone or surgery followed by UFT within 6 weeks after curative resection. To assess treatment response, data on recurrence and survival will be collected for 5 years after enrollment of the last patient. To evaluate safety, data on adverse events will be collected for 16 months after the start of treatment.
This is a controlled study designed to compare relapse-free survival and overall survival in patients receiving UFT with those in patients receiving surgery alone. Patients will be randomly assigned to surgery alone or surgery followed by UFT within 6 weeks after curative resection. To assess treatment efficacy, data on recurrence and survival will be collected for 5 years after enrollment of the last patient. To evaluate safety, data on adverse events will be collected for 12 months after the start of treatment.Evaluations will be separately done for colon cancer and rectal cancer.
This controlled study is designed to evaluate the efficacy of TS-1 on survival compared with surgery alone. Patients will be randomly assigned to receive either surgery alone or surgery followed by treatment with TS-1 within 45 days after curative resection (curability A or B). To assess the efficacy, data on recurrence and survival will be collected from the time of enrollment until 5 years after surgery. To evaluate safety, data on adverse events will be collected from the time of enrollment until 1 year after surgery.
This is a randomized controlled study designed to evaluate the relapse-free survival of the UFT group compared with the CMF group. Patients will be randomly assigned to receive either CMF or UFT within 12 weeks after curative resection. To evaluate treatment efficacy, data on recurrence, and survival will be collected for up to 10 years after enrollment of the final patient. To assess safety, data on adverse events will be collected for 2 years after the start of treatment. Patients'quality of life will be assessed by means of a questionnaire.
This controlled study is designed to evaluate the relapse-free survival of UFT + TAM compared with CMF + TAM. Patients are randomly assigned to receive either CMF + TAM or UFT + TAM within 6 weeks after surgery. To assess treatment efficacy, data on recurrence and survival will be collected for 5 years after surgery. To evaluate the safety, data on adverse events will be collected during treatment. Patients'quality of life will be assessed by means of a questionnaire.
The aim of this study is to compare the incidence of cardiovascular events between two target systolic blood pressure levels, below 140 mmHg and below 150 mmHg under treatment with valsartan in elderly isolated systolic hypertensive patients in Japan.
