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 is to evaluate oncological outcome of patients for T3 and T4 colorectal cancer undergoing laparoscopic versus open surgery.
To establish standard therapy for patients with advanced-stage low grade B-cell lymphoma
The primary objective of this pivotal study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of FUS treatment of breast fibroadenomas. Our hypothesis is that FUS lesion ablation of a fibroadenoma will have the following results: a. lead to a decrease in lesion cross-sectional area of > 50% on palpation, and >65% in lesion volume as measured by MRI (both calculations assume an elliptical shape of the lesion in all 3 dimensions). b. this decrease in size, along with the softening of the treated volume will result in satisfactory clinical results in greater than 50 % of the patients.
Clinical studies have established that implantation of bone marrow mononuclear cells (BM-MNCs) or peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PB-MNCs) into ischaemic limbs increases collateral vessel formation. We, the investigators at Nagoya University, further investigated the efficacy and safety of autologous implantation of BM-MNCs or PB-MNCs in patients with severe ischaemic limbs who have no other alternative therapeutic options. We also examined a potential limiting factor which reduced the efficacy of therapeutic angiogenesis using cell transplantation (TACT).
To test the superiority of VCAP-AMP-VECP regimen over biweekly-CHOP in aggressive ATLL in terms of survival benefit.
To evaluate the role of 3 cycles of irinotecan and cisplatin for patients with limited-stage small-cell lung cancer who received one course of etoposide and cisplatin plus concurrent accelerated hyperfractionated thoracic irradiation.
The Mucopolysaccharidosis I (MPS I) Registry is an ongoing, observational database that tracks the outcomes of patients with MPS I. The data collected by the MPS I Registry will provide information to better characterize the natural history and progression of MPS I as well as the clinical responses of patients receiving enzyme replacement therapy, such as Aldurazyme (Recombinant Human Alpha-L-Iduronidase), or other treatment modalities. The objectives of the Registry are: - To evaluate the long-term effectiveness and safety of Aldurazyme® (laronidase) - To characterize and describe the MPS I population as a whole, including the variability, progression, and natural history of MPS I - To help the MPS I medical community with the development of recommendations for monitoring patients and reports on patient outcomes to optimize patient care
The primary objective of this trial is to determine whether daily treatment with tiotropium (Spiriva®, Bromuro de Tiotropio®) inhalation capsule via HandiHaler® reduces the rate of decline in lung function over time in patients with COPD.
The objective of this trial is to demonstrate that the fixed dose combination of telmisartan 40 mg and HCTZ 12.5 mg is superior to the monocomponent of telmisartan (Micardis, Gliosartan, Kinzal, Kinzalmono, Predxal, Pritor, Samertan, Telmisartan) 40 mg in patients with essential hypertension who fail to respond adequately to telmisartan monotherapy.
The antihypertensive effect of the increased dose of angiotensin II receptor blocker (AII antagonist) is compared with that of the additional combined use of amlodipine in hypertensive patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus, who have been treated with AII antagonist, the antihypertensive effect of which has been inadequate.
