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 study has 2 parts: First part is the main study and second part is the extension study. During the main study participants will receive 1 of 4 study medicines. If participants continue in the extension study, they will not receive any study medicine during the extension. The main study will look at how well CagriSema helps participants with excess body weight lose weight compared to a "dummy" medicine and 2 other medicines, cagrilintide and semaglutide. Participants will either get CagriSema, cagrilintide,semaglutide or "dummy" medicine. Which treatment participants get is decided by chance. They will take one injection once a week. The study medicine is injected briefly with a thin needle, typically in the stomach, thighs or upper arms. Extension study: After the main study, not all participants will continue in the extension study. The study staff will tell the participant if they will continue or not into the extension study. In the extension study we will look at what happens to the participant's body weight and diseases related to excess body weight after the participant stops taking the study medicine. The main study will last for about 1½ years and the extension study will last for another 2 years.
The main purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of LY3819469 in adults with elevated lipoprotein(a). The study will lasts about 20 months.
The purpose of this 20-week randomized double-blind study in patients with resistant hypertension (rHTN) is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability, of different doses of XXB750 administered as subcutaneous (SC) injections, compared to placebo. Since all study participants will be patients with rHTN, all study treatments will be given on top of maximally tolerated background antihypertensive therapy recommended by international guidelines for treatment of HTN (i.e., a thiazide or a thiazide-like diuretic, an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEi) or an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB), and a long-acting dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker (CCB).
This study will investigate the effect of tirzepatide on the reduction of morbidity and mortality in adults living with obesity and provide additional evidence for the potential clinical benefits of tirzepatide in this population.
Study to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of ponsegromab compared to placebo in patients with cancer, cachexia, and elevated GDF 15.
The main aim of the study is to check if TAK-625 improves symptoms of Progressive Familial Intrahepatic Cholestasis (PFIC), side effect from the study treatment or TAK-625, and how much TAK-625 stays in their blood over time. This will help the study sponsor (Takeda) to work out the best dose to give people in the future. The participants will be treated with TAK-625 for up to the end of study (about 34 months). Participants will visit their study clinic 15 times from the start of study. After 15 times visits, participants will visit their study clinic every 12 weeks up to the end of study.
The main aim of the study is to check if TAK-625 improves symptoms of Alagille Syndrome (ALGS), side effect from the study treatment or TAK-625, and how much TAK-625 stays in their blood over time. This will help the study sponsor (Takeda) to work out the best dose to give people in the future. The participants will be treated with TAK-625 for up to the end of study (about 34 months). Participants will visit their study clinic 9 times from the start of study. After 9 times visits, participants will visit their study clinic every 12 weeks up to the end of study.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, including clinical remission of guselkumab subcutaneous (SC) induction compared to placebo in participants with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC).
This is a primary data collection-based observational special drug-use surveillance to be conducted in accordance with the Good Post-marketing Study Practice (GPSP) ordinance.
This is an observational study in which data from people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) who have already started or will start CKD or T2D treatment are collected and studied. In observational studies, only observations are made without specified advice or interventions. People receiving the following CKD or T2D treatments as recommended by their doctors will be included: - Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i), - Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA), - Steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (sMRA), - Finerenone, a non-steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist (nsMRA) - Other nsMRA (only in Japan) Kidneys filter extra water and waste from the blood and make urine. CKD is a long-term, progressive decrease in the kidneys' ability to properly filter blood. In people with T2D, the body does not make enough of a hormone called insulin or does not use insulin well enough, resulting in high blood sugar levels that can cause damage to the kidneys. As a result, CKD can occur as a complication of T2D. The new drug, finerenone, works by blocking certain proteins, called mineralocorticoid receptors. An increased stimulation of these proteins is thought to damage the kidneys. By lowering their stimulation, finerenone reduces the risk of progressive worsening of the kidney disease. Finerenone is available and approved in several countries for doctors to prescribe to people with CKD and T2D. The main purpose of the study is to collect and describe characteristics of participants in each treatment group who have started or will start treatment before and after finerenone became available. To do this, the researchers will collect data on: - Patient characteristics (e.g., age sex) of the participants - Clinical characteristics (e.g., history of CKD and T2D, heart and liver health, other health problems) of the participants - Treatments for T2D and CKD - Other medications used Data will be grouped by type of treatment that is initiated (e.g., SGLT2i, a GLP-1 RA, a sMRA, finerenone, or other nsMRA). Two time periods will be compared. Study period I is the time until finerenone became available in the respective country, starting from 2012 (2014 for Japan). Study period II will begin when finerenone becomes available in the respective country and will end at the end of the study (planned in September 2024). Researchers will also collect data on treatment patterns and changes for each type of treatment in both time periods. Health care data will be collected from various sources in five countries (e.g., Denmark, the Netherlands, Spain, Japan, and the US). The patients will receive their treatment as prescribed by their doctors during routine practice according to the approved product information. Each patient will be in the study from first use (in Study period I and II) of one of the listed drug classes until: - End of study - The data are somehow no longer available - The patient leaves or has to leave the study
