There are about 435 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in United Arab Emirates. 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.
A Multicenter Retrospective Study to understand the clinical characteristics, treatment pathway and resource utilization for patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia A retrospective, multi-centre, observational study to describe disease characteristics, treatment patterns, treatment-related outcomes, and resource utilization for Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) patients in multiple international regions
Need for study There are a few studies published on this topic from various parts of the globe and the results are mixed. Hence further research is required in this area and none of the studies have included samples from the Middle East. Some studies done in this area focus on biomechanical aspects of gait (Cherni, 2018) and our study mainly focuses on functional aspects of gait and quality of life. Studies done on this area focus highly on gait components and very little is available on the literature on improving balance. Since balance and stability are crucial for walking, it was decided to exclusively assess balance. Due to a wide range of therapeutic benefits, it is paramount to evaluate the effectiveness of different therapies provided to improve gait. Aim of the study: The aim of the proposed research is to investigate the effectiveness of robotic assisted gait training using Lokomat device as an adjunct in improving gait, balance and quality of life in children with cerebral palsy.

Insufficient clinical evidence correlates the progression of diabetic kidney disease with electrolyte homeostasis in patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), especially in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) population and what are the most effective interventions to slow chronic renal failure progression. In our research, we test the hypothesis that low serum magnesium and potassium levels are directly associated with the decline of kidney function in diabetic patients who did not have severely impaired renal function at baseline. In addition, we describe the effect of long-term multifactorial adherence interventions on medication adherence, diet adherence and follow-up visits using a telemedicine approach such as mobile applications in reducing the progression of chronic kidney disease and other diabetes-related complications. This study is a single-blind randomized control trial to demonstrate the causal relationship between potassium and magnesium levels and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decline. The intervention group will be evaluated for manifestations of electrolyte imbalance and correction of serum magnesium and/or potassium levels will be initiated based on the last updated laboratory test. Moreover, they will receive education to reinforce diet and exercise changes at each follow up visit by a specialized dietitian with pharmacist-led comprehensive medication therapy management utilizing multifactorial adherence interventions to measure potential drug-drug or drug-food interactions, as well as medication and follow-up adherence through an integrated mobile application and fixed medication possession ratio (FMPR). This research is under progress, and summary of its findings will be reported. This study will suggest if additional national monitoring guidelines may be warranted. In addition, it will reduce diabetic burden, medication cost in UAE and improve patient satisfaction by reducing or delaying the progression of diabetic kidney disease in diabetic patients.
In this study, a multidisciplinary team of researchers was established including credible researchers from the UAE, Australia and the United Kingdom to launch the First United Arab Emirates 3-year birth cohort study. The study aims to recruit 250 pregnant Emirati women within their first trimester, which is defined by the study as from 8 to 12 weeks pregnant, recruited from obstetric and gynaecology clinics in the UAE. Participants will be recruited via face to face interviews and will receive a total of 11 visits with 1 visit in each trimester of pregnancy and 8 visits after delivery. Maternal data collection includes, socio-demographic and lifestyle factors, dietary intake, anthropometric measurements, physical activity, maternal psychological state, and blood samples for biochemical analysis. Post-partum, visits will take place when the child is 0.5, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 24 months old, with data collection including infant anthropometric measurements, young child feeding practices, dietary intake, supplement use and the eating environment at home, as well as all maternal data collection described above, apart from blood samples. Additional data collection for the child includes developmental assessments taking place at three timepoints, 1) within 2 weeks of birth, 2) at 10-14 months and 3) at 22 - 26 months of age. Developmental assessments for the infant include vision, health, neurological examination, neurodevelopmental and sleep assessments.
Rashakaty (Fitness for Me) study aimed to design a new technologies-based intervention using a website and smart phone applications and to test the feasibility of implementing a lifestyle intervention using these technologies for overweight and obese university students. The intervention was implemented in two universities in the United Arab Emirates
This is a open label clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy, safety and immunogenicity of inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccines (Vero cell) in healthy people aged 3-17 years old in comparison with healthy population aged 18 years old and above
retrospective non-interventional study (NIS) that aims to describe the demographics, clinical characteristics, clinical outcomes, and treatment patterns, among patients receiving palbociclib for the treatment of HR+/HER2- metastatic/locally advanced breast cancer (BC)
While numerous types of commercially available human embryo culture media exist for human blastocyst culture, the impact of culture conditions on blastocyst development and aneuploidy formation is not fully understood. Culture conditions are very important for the success of the in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle, many of the factors involved in the process have been extensively studied. However, none of the studies investigated the effect on euploid rate in a sibling oocyte design with preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A), which requires culture till day 7. In addition, the clinical outcome (implantation) will be investigated in a frozen cycle regimen. Hence, the study will explore which day of media refreshment will result in higher rate of ploidy and would improve clinical outcomes. Investigators aim at exploring the best practice, that would empower the euploid rate through the comparison of refreshing the single-step medium on day 3 or day 5 in a sibling oocyte prospective design.
