There are about 612 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Bangladesh. 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 was a randomized controlled clinical trial (RCT) carried out in three different hospitals in Dhaka city, Bangladesh.
The goal of this trial is to evaluate the impact of different testing strategies with Rapid Antigen Testing (RAT) on reduction of school absences. RATs are relatively inexpensive, fast, and can be performed at the point of care. Provision of testing in schools will allow rapid identification and isolation of individuals infected with Covid-19. This will likely reduce COVID-19 transmission, as well as allow symptomatic COVID-19 negative students to return to classroom, avoiding the 10-days isolation period. If proven successful, the lessons from this study can be translated to schools in similar settings. While several testing strategies have been proposed and evaluated in developed countries, no studies have evaluated the role of testing for safe operation of schools or reducing absenteeism in developing country contexts.The lessons learned from this study is likely to inform government policy regarding the provision of testing in school. Study design: Cluster randomized trial School types: Three types based on testing: - Intervention school-1: Test all symptomatic students, teachers, and support staff ; and track symptoms and absenteeism - Intervention school-2: Test all students, teachers, and support staff every 3 days, irrespective of symptoms (also test whenever develops symptoms) and track symptoms and absenteeism - Control school: Only track the students for symptom notification and absenteeism
This is a randomized controlled study. Baricitinib 4mg in one arm and Baricitinib 2mg in another arm will be used. Methotrexate 10mg per week in both arms will be used.
Erythropoietin (EPO) biosimilarity for GBPD002 (test candidate) and Eprex® (comparator) has been evaluated by comparing the pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) properties following subcutaneous injection in human subjects. This was a randomized, double-blind, two-sequence, crossover study. Subjects were randomly assigned and received a dose (4,000 IU) of either the test or comparator EPO. The subjects received the alternative formulation after the wash out period (4 weeks) of the first administration. The primary PK parameters, viz., maximum observed concentration (Cmax) and area under the curve extrapolated to infinity (AUC00-inf), were calculated with the serum EPO concentrations from blood samples and were found comparable for both formulations. The geometric mean ratios (@90% CI) of the Cmax and AUCinf were 1.16 and 0.89, respectively, which were within the regulatory range of 0.80-1.25. The reticulocyte, hematocrit, hemoglobin and red blood cell counts were measured as PD markers. The time-matched serum EPO concentrations and PD markers denoted a counterclockwise hysteresis, and thereby suggesting a time delay between the observed concentration and the response. ANOVA derived P-values (all were greater than 0.05) for the effectors clearly revealed the similarity between effects on PD markers for both formulations. Both formulations were found tolerated well, and anti-drug antibodies were not observed. Thus, the two formulations are projected to be used interchangeably in clinical settings.
The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to compare the functional outcome of hydrodissection of the median nerve by normal saline only and a combination of triamcinolone acetonide, lidocaine, and normal saline. The main question it aims to answer are: • What is the outcome comparison of ultrasound-guided hydrodissection between normal saline only and combination of triamcinolone acetonide, normal saline, and lidocaine in mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome? Participants diagnosed with mild or moderate CTS will be randomly assigned to two groups and be hydrodissected under ultrasound guidance. Researchers will compare if normal saline gives similar or better functional outcomes than steroids.
The investigational lotion is envisaged as an short- and long term "Ease & Prevent" monotherapy for adults and children with mild to moderate eczema. With itch representing the most burdensome symptom in eczema, the main objectives with the lotion is fast and efficient itch relief, high tolerability, and high short- and long term safety. This phase 1 study aims to monitor skin tolerability, and how much of the active compound that is absorbed to the bloodstream.
This study will be 8 weeks randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trail to assess the effect of astaxanthin in 80 moderate to severe knee osteoarthritis patients. Participants will be assessed at baseline and after 8 weeks of intervention. Subjects will be randomized to receive either astaxanthin 12 mg capsule daily or placebo capsule identical to astaxanthin daily for 8 weeks. Evaluation of pain, stiffness and improvement of physical function will be measured by WOMAC index before and after intervention. Inflammatory markers serum IL-6 and hsCRP will be measured before and after intervention. Astaxanthin related adverse events will be identified. Study outcome will establish safety and efficacy of astaxanthin in knee osteoarthritis.
A cross-sectional household survey with two-stage cluster-randomized sampling. This cross-sectional household survey design to recruit a random sample of households that is representative for each of the study sites. From the selected households, all consenting, household members will be included in the study. This study is funded by the UK Wellcome Trust. The grant reference number is 215604/Z/19/Z
This is a pilot study to assess the feasibility and acceptability of a trial of Enterade (VS001) to treat environmental enteric dysfunction in children from a low-income setting. Preliminary data on efficacy will also be obtained.
In this phase II Randomized Clinical Trial (RCT), impacts of a single Intra-articular injection of autologous adipose tissue derive total-stromal-cells (TOST) on knee pain, physical function, stiffness, and cartilage thickness assessed and compared changes before and after intervention. Individuals with knee osteoarthritis (KOA) diagnosed by using the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria for Osteoarthritis knee were included in the study. Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) radiological scores were used to define radiological changes and high-frequency musculoskeletal ultrasonogram (MSUS) was used to measure cartilage thickness.
