There are about 103 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Algeria. 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.
Many data suggest that patients with low rectal adenocarcinoma who achieved ypT0N0 status have improved survival and disease-free survival (DFS) compared to all other stages however only few data are available regarding the specific prognosis factors of this subgroup. This retrospective multicentric study aimed to predict the prognosis of patients with complete pathological response after neoadjuvant treatment.
The researchers are doing the study to see if semaglutide may reduce the risk of having cardiovascular events in patients with overweight or obesity and with prior cardiovascular disease. The participant will either get semaglutide (active medicine) or placebo ("dummy" medicine). Which treatment the participants get is decided by chance. The participant's chance of getting semaglutide or placebo is the same. The participant will get the study medicine in a pen. The participants will need to use the pen to inject the study medicine in a skinfold once a week. The study will last for about 2.5 to 5 years. Participants will have up to 25 clinic visits with the study doctor.
The aim of this observational study is to evaluate the quality of life in patients with congenital afibrinogenemia using the Haemo-QoL SF for kids and the Haem-A-QoL for adult patients.
This is a multicenter, international, double-blind randomized Phase III study to evaluate the pathological complete response (pCR) according to Chevalier classification between Fulvestrant® and the combination of Fulvestrant® plus Palbociclib as neoadjuvant therapy of hormone-sensitive patients with operable luminal breast cancer. Eligible patients will be assessed upfront using the OncotypeDX® molecular test (Recurrence Score <31).
The objective of the present study is to estimate the overall survival of patients with cervical cancer after the administration of monoclonal antibody (mAb) Nimotuzumab (hR3) in combination with chemotherapy of first intention. Patients will be randomized in two parallel treatment groups. The first group will receive a dose of 200 mg of monoclonal antibody anti-hR3 (weekly during 18 weeks), combined with a chemotherapy (6 cycles, every 21 days of Cisplatin 70mg/m2, Vinorelbine 60 mg/m2 (Per Os) at D1 and D8 and then 80mg / m2. The second group will receive a placebo in combination with the same chemotherapy regimen as the first group. At the end of the first intention chemotherapy treatment, a dose of maintenance of Nimotuzumab will be administered at the dose of 200mg every 14 days until progression. A second chemotherapy in the second intention is proposed, this one is based on Carboplatin ( CBP) in an AUC (area under curve) of 6, and Paclitaxel (Txl) in 175 mg / m2 / BSA (body surface area ) in drip of 3 hours, every 3 weeks, concomitant with the administration of hR3, every 14 days, until a limit of toxicity or an ECOG (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group) status superior to 3, appears.
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignant plasma cell disorder, characterized by the presence of more than 10 % of clonal plasma cells in the bone marrow. Therapeutic intervention is recommended when at least one of the myeloma defining events occurs (CRAB features). Renal impairment (RI) is one of the most common complications of MM, accounting for 20-30 % of MM patients at diagnosis and 40-50% of patients during the course of their disease. To date, there is no defined consensus for the management of myeloma patients with renal failure. It is then of clinical importance to better considering available therapeutic options to improve responses and survival of these patients.
STUDY OBJECTIVE To confirm the incidence of in-hospital postoperative complications in adult surgical patients in Africa. STUDY DESIGN Seven day, African national multi-centre prospective observational cohort study of adult (≥18 years) patients undergoing surgery. Patients will be followed up for a maximum of 30 days. We will follow the original International Surgical Outcomes Study (ISOS) study design. The primary outcome is in-hospital postoperative complications in adult surgical patients in Africa. Secondary outcomes include in-hospital mortality and the relationship between postoperative complications and postoperative mortality. The intention is to present a representative sample of surgical outcomes across all African countries. This study will run between February and March 2016.
Purpose:The aim of this project is to prospectively determine whether a single dose of GnRH-agonist administered at the time of implantation increases or not the reproductive outcome in patients undergoing in vitro fertilization ( IVF)/ intracytoplasmatic sperm injection(ICSI) triggered by a GnRH-agonist followed by a small bolus of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG 1500 IU) the day of oocyte retrieval.
The objective of this study is to explore and describe the disease characteristics, treatment and outcomes of participants with rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis, Crohn's Disease or ulcerative colitis as the major disease treated with REMICADE, SIMPONI or STELARA in clinical practice in the emerging regions of North Africa, the Middle East, and Western Asia.
This is an open label, non randomized, uncontrolled, multicenter, single arm observational study. In this study, the enrolled subjects will be treated with Rebif human serum albumin (HSA)-free formulation (with or without RebiSmart) 44 microgram (mcg), subcutaneous (sc), thrice in a week (tiw) for 24 months.
