There are about 11256 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Egypt. 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.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of HQK-1001 on Hb F in subjects with sickle cell disease.
This study examines using oral anti coagulant warfarin in the management of unexplained oligohydramnios improve the perinatal outcome with little or no complications to the mother or the neonates.
- Unlike the Asian and western regions, The vast majority of the Egyptian/Arabic Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) patients are hepatitis C virus (HCV) associated. - According to the SHARP study subgroup analysis, it seems that HCV associated HCC patients derive the max benefit of Sorafenib, the absolute gain between the Sorafenib arm & the placebo in m OS = 7 months, HR=0.58 (95% CI: 0.37-0.91). - In spite of improvement in terms of overall survival (OS) and time to progression (TTP), in all studies where Sorafenib was compared to placebo, the Sorafenib arm was not accompanied by a significant volumetric reduction, and this may explains the lack of any symptomatic improvement (time to symptomatic progression (TTSP) almost identical) - Reviewing the chemotherapy outcome, although there is no convincing evidence in survival benefit to patients with advanced HCC, however true shrinkage (reduction in tumor size), has been consistently reported although the magnitude of response is lacking consistency. This indicates the need for coupling Sorafenib to a chemotherapeutic agent but: - For patients with Hepatocellular Carcinoma, the toxicity profile of any chemotherapeutic agent of choice to be added to Sorafenib should be take in consideration - The agent to be added to Sorafenib should be effective in terms of Tumor Shrinkage & with minimal toxicity regarding: - Cardio-toxicity - HFSR - Diarrhea - Hepato-toxicity - Bone marrow suppression (although not relevant to the toxicity profile of Sorafenib, yet the HCC patients may have HCV related thrombocytopenia and variable degree of hypersplenism related pancytopenia) Circulatory Overload (Hypertension) Why Tegafur-uracil (UFT)? - Efficacy: For UFT, although the efficacy data in HCC are not as extensive as Doxorubicin, however in one phase II study UFT could improve survival when compared with conservative management. - UFT Toxicity Profile: In a phase III trial to asses the compare Efficacy & Safety of UFT with that of 5 FU in treatment of m CRC, Hematological toxicities were minimal (0% Grade ¾ leukopenia, neutropenia, febrile neutropenia, thrombocytopenia & was 3% for anemia), while the most commonly seen SE was grade I & II Diarrhea •Accordingly UFT may be considered as a potential partner to Sorafenib in patients with advanced HCC.
Clinical Trial Phase III-b Study Sponsor: European Egyptian Pharmaceutical Industries Sample Size: 120 patients (60 per arm) Study Population: Patients with Diabetic foot ulcer of any stage after proper surgical treatment - if needed. Those patients will be recruited from patients attending the Diabetic foot Center at Faculty of Medicine - Alexandria University and the outpatient clinic at Faculty of Medicine, Cairo University. Recruitment Period: 9 months Dose application: thick layer of 2-3 mm applied to the dressing then dressing applied to the ulcer. Endpoints: Complete healing of the ulcer OR 5 months of application of the ointment whichever comes first
The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that radiotherapy of head and neck carcinoma can be improved by hypoxic modification of radiotherapy using nimorazole as a hypoxic radiosensitizer in association with accelerated fractionation, in an unselected patient population in a global environment.
Based on the assumption that honey may have an immunomodulatory effect, the aim of our present study will be to verify whether the intake of honey, as a natural substance, in patients with chronic Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP) could affect the platelet number and hence could affect the bleeding severity. Thirty patients suffering from chronic ITP will be recruited from the Hematology Clinic of the Pediatric Hospital of Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt. The diagnosis of ITP will be based on the presence of isolated thrombocytopenia with a peripheral blood platelet count less than 100 x 109/L, and absence of any obvious initiating and/or underlying cause of the thrombocytopenia. Chronic ITP is defined as ITP for at least 12 months. The age of the patients will range from 5 to 15 years, and they will be of both sexes. This study was approved by the local Ethics Committee of the Pediatric Department of Ain Shams University, and an informed consent to participate in this study will be obtained from at least one parent of each patient. Furthermore, an ascent form will be obtained from each patient above 7 years of age.
This was a long-term, open-label study of migalastat (123 milligrams [mg] of migalastat [equivalent to 150 mg of migalastat hydrochloride]) (migalastat) in participants with Fabry disease who completed treatment in a previous monotherapy trial with migalastat.
This randomised, double-blind phase III trial will be performed in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). The objectives of the trial are to compare the efficacy and safety of afatinib (BIBW 2992) with placebo as adjuvant therapy to patients who have received definitive chemo-radiotherapy.
RATIONALE: Pazopanib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. It is not yet known whether pazopanib hydrochloride is more effective than a placebo in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer that has not progressed after first-line chemotherapy. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II/III trial is studying how well giving pazopanib hydrochloride works and compares it with giving a placebo in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer who have received first-line chemotherapy.
This study will assess the safety and efficacy of AIN457 as adjunctive therapy for the treatment of intermediate uveitis, posterior uveitis, or panuveitis requiring systemic immunosuppression.
