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.
This is a multi-center, open label, phase IV study conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of agalsidase beta (Fabrazyme [recombinant form]) administered by intravenous drip infusion in participants with cardiac Fabry disease. Participants participated for 4 weeks or less in the baseline period and 156 weeks for the treatment period.
To estimate the efficacy of Gemcitabine monotherapy compared to UFT as the post operative adjuvant chemotherapy for completely resected non-small cell lung cancer.
The purpose of the study is to examine the safety and efficacy and dose-response relationship of three doses of CP-526,555 for 12 weeks compared with placebo for smoking cessation; including post-treatment follow-up of smoking status to one year from randomization. A small satellite protocol (A3051048) investigated safety of a second course of therapy in subjects who did not quit.
Candesartan is effective in preventing cardiovascular events in patients without restenosis after coronary angioplasty. Therefore, the investigators hypothesized that candesartan after drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation was also effective in preventing cardiovascular events. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether an angiotensin II receptor blocker, candesartan, is effective in reducing the incidence of cardiovascular events after drug-eluting stent implantation.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate radiotherapy followed by endocrine therapy in comparison with endocrine therapy alone for PSA failure after radical prostatectomy.
The aim of this study is to investigate whether intravenous ciprofloxacin is as effective as cefepime for the initial treatment of febrile neutropenia developed in patients with hematologic diseases.
A number of major clinical trials have demonstrated the clinical benefits of lowering blood pressure and have indicated that a majority of patients with hypertension will require more than one drug to achieve optimal blood pressure control. There is little data showing which antihypertensive combination best protects patients from cardiovascular events and which best achieves the target blood pressure with the fewest adverse events. The COPE trial is planned to investigate, in patients with hypertension, which combination of the antihypertensive drugs, angiotensin receptor blockers, β-blockers or thiazide diuretics in addition to a long-acting calcium antagonist, benidipine hydrochloride, is superior to achieve the targeted blood pressure and prevent cardiovascular events with the fewest adverse drug effects.
This study was designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety in major depressive disorder patients.
The purpose of this trial is to determine if mild hypothermia therapy, for severe head trauma patients, improves neurological outcome.
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether high-dose angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) monotherapy or combination therapy with ARB and calcium channel blockers is more effective in reducing the incidence of cardiovascular events in Japanese elderly high-risk hypertensive patients not adequately controlled by standard dose ARB alone.
