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.
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women globally, with 2.3 million new cases diagnosed in 2020. Hormone receptor positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HER2-) breast cancer is the most prevalent subtype, comprising 69% of all breast cancers in the USA. Within the tumor immune microenvironment, a higher intensity of myeloid cell infiltration and low levels of lymphocyte infiltration have been associated with worse outcomes. Markers in peripheral blood have emerged as predictive biomarkers that can be easily obtained non-invasively and at low cost. Experiments have confirmed the relative components of these tests (such as the immune cells) directly or indirectly participated in tumour occurrence, development, and immune escape, underscoring the potential use of laboratory tests as tumour biomarkers
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether polyethylene (Vitamin E-containing polyethylene), which has been newly introduced and widely used clinically as a biomaterial for tibial inserts in total knee arthroplasty, but whose mid- to long-term clinical results are still unknown, is more effective than conventional polyethylene. Our goal is to clarify through an international multi-center joint study using in vivo polyethylene wear particle analysis, which the investigators developed as a method to provide early feedback, as to whether polyethylene wear debris production in vivo can be reduced.
This is an observational study in which data already collected from people with sepsis (blood poisoning) and/or disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) are studied. In observational studies, only observations are made without participants receiving any advice or changes to their healthcare. DIC is a serious blood disorder that can cause clots throughout the body, blocking blood vessels. People who have sepsis or cancer are at a higher risk of developing DIC. To find a treatment that works well for people with DIC associated with sepsis, it is important to know about its occurrence, treatments people receive, and their outcomes. Japan is the only country that has officially approved medicines for DIC including a few newer medicines that prevent extensive blood clotting. In this study, researchers will assess patient data from a hospital database in Japan. The main purpose of this study is to learn more about how many adults develop DIC related to sepsis, thrombocytopenic sepsis (sudden decrease in the number of platelets in the blood), or septic shock (dangerously low blood pressure) in Japan every year. To learn about this, researchers will collect the following information: - The number of participants who developed DIC 14 days, 21 days and 28 days after their sepsis diagnosis - The grading scores given to the participants which are used to assess the likelihood, cause, severity, treatment plan, and outcome of DIC (including scores called JAAM, ISTH, MHLW, and/or SOFA scores) - The number of days between diagnosis of sepsis and the beginning of DIC Researchers will study the data collected between June 2018 and June 2023. The data will come from TXP Medical, which collects data through the hospital health information system of 7 selected hospitals for this study across Japan. In this study, only available data from routine care are collected.
The purpose of this study is to describe the treatment patterns, clinical outcomes, healthcare resource utilization (HCRU) and medical costs of lower-risk myelodysplastic syndromes patients in Japan.
Regorafenib is an anti-cancer drug that blocks several proteins which are involved in the growth of cancer. It has been approved for different types of cancers of the digestive system and is being tested for use in some other solid tumors. Cancers that start in an organ, a muscle, or a bone form a solid tumor. This study is for participants with solid tumors who have been taking regorafenib in other Bayer studies. They can continue taking regorafenib if it is working when treatment with regorafenib in their previous study ends. The main purpose of this study is to find: - How safe is the continued treatment with regorafenib in participants with solid tumors? - How well is the continued treatment with regorafenib tolerated by participants with solid tumors? Participants will continue with the same dose of regorafenib that they were taking in their previous study as long as the treatment works for them/they want to continue the treatment/other medical conditions do not prevent them from participating in the study. For participants that are under 18 years of age, regorafenib tablets will be taken by mouth once daily for 2 weeks and repeat again after a 1-week gap. For participants that are over 18 years of age, regorafenib tablets will be taken by mouth once daily for 3 weeks and repeat again after a 1-week gap. At the start of the study, researchers will review participants' records from the previous study. During the study, researchers will use blood samples and X-rays taken from participants under the age of 18 years to check how safe regorafenib is for children. They will also monitor any medical problems that participants may have during the study. After the last dose, follow-up will be done either within 14 days when participants visit their study doctor or within 30-35 days by phone call. Both the researchers and the participants will know the dose of regorafenib the participants receive during the study.
This Phase III clinical study will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of valoctocogene roxaparvovec in Japanese patients with severe hemophilia A.
This study is to assess the pharmacokinetics (PK) and safety of SC MK-3475A vs intravenous (IV) pembrolizumab, administered with chemotherapy in first line treatment of adult Japanese participants with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer. The primary hypotheses of this study are MK-3475A subcutaneous (SC) is noninferior to pembrolizumab IV with respect to PK parameters.
This study is open to adults who are at least 18 years old and have - a body mass index (BMI) of 35 kg/m² or more and at least one health problem related to their weight, or - a BMI of 27 kg/m² or more and at least two health problems related to their weight. People who have either type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or increased blood lipids can take part in this study. Only people who have previously not managed to lose weight by changing their diet can participate. The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called survodutide (BI 456906) helps people living with obesity disease to lose weight. Participants are divided into 3 groups by chance, like drawing names from a hat. 2 groups get different doses of survodutide and 1 group gets placebo. Placebo looks like survodutide but does not contain any medicine. Every participant has a 2 in 3 chance of getting survodutide. Participants inject survodutide or placebo under their skin once a week for about one and a half years. In addition to the study medicine, all participants receive counselling to make changes to their diet and to exercise regularly. Participants are in the study for about 1 year and 7 months. During this time, it is planned that participants visit the study site up to 14 times and receive 6 phone calls by the site staff. The doctors check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects. The participants' body weight is regularly measured. The results are compared between the groups to see whether the treatment works.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of intrathecal (IT) delivery of ION717.
The purpose of this open-label study is to collect additional safety information of sacubitril/valsartan and to provide post-trial access to sacubitril/valsartan for the eligible Japanese patients who completed CLCZ696B2319E1 study until marketed product of pediatric formulation, film-coated granules in capsule, is available in Japan.
