NCT ID: NCT04007237 Completed - Clinical trials for Pityriasis Versicolor

The Comparative Assessment of Mycological Efficacy, Safety, Recurrence, and Cost-effectiveness of Selenium Sulfide 1.8% Shampoo Versus Ketoconazole 2% Shampoo in Pityriasis Versicolor: a Double-blind Randomized Controlled Trial

Start date: September 1, 2018
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

There are several topical treatment for Pityriasis Versicolor including ketoconazole and selenium sulfide. Ketoconazole is a broad spectrum anti-fungal drug from imidazole group that has been reported to be effective in PV. The study aimed to reveal the mycological efficacy, safety, recurrence and cost-effectiveness of selenium sulfide 1.8% shampoo (SeS2) and ketoconazole 2% shampoo in the treatment of pityriasis versicolor. A double blind randomized controlled trial was performed in patients with PV during September-December 2018. Patients who involved in this study were allocated to SeS2 or ketoconazole 2% based on block randomization. Physical examinations, scale provocation test, Wood lamp and potassium hydroxide (KOH) examination were conducted to evaluate the treatment response and side effects on 7th - 14th day. Intention to treat analysis was performed in this study. cost-effectiveness was analyzed by Incremental Cost-Effectiveness Ratio (ICER).

Start date: August 1, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy between superficial cervical plexus block and local infiltration of lidocaine 2% in patients undergoing tracheostomy procedure.

NCT ID: NCT04004091 Completed - Premature Birth Clinical Trials

Prenatal Administration of Spermine Promotes Maturation of Premature Fetal Gut Epithelial Tight Junction: Experimental Study on Fetal Rabbit

Start date: March 1, 2019
Phase: Early Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

Infections, particularly on the gastrointestinal tract, has been known to be one of the leading causes of death in preterm infants. This is due to the immaturity of the intestinal epithelial cells. Recent studies have shown that polyamines have a role on the development of cells during embryonal phase. By this experimental study, the investigators would like to evaluate the administration of spermine on the maturation of premature fetal gut epithelial tight junction.

NCT ID: NCT04001296 Completed - Behavior Clinical Trials

The Impact of a 21day School Brushing Intervention on the Knowledge, Behaviour and Oral Health of School Children

Start date: February 1, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

In this study we aim to study the effectiveness of a specially designed 21 day Brush Day and Night programme for school children aged 6-9 which aims to establish the habit of twice a day toothbrushing for oral health. The 21 day programme is led primarily by teachers with support from a oral health care professional. Schools will be recruited in Indonesia and Nigeria to take part in the study. Half of the schools will run the 21 day programme with their children in school grades 1 to 3, half will act as a control.

NCT ID: NCT03991910 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Rheumatic Heart Disease

The Effect of Ramipril in Suppressing ST2 Expression in Rheumatic Mitral Stenosis Patients

Start date: June 27, 2019
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

Objective propose: to investigate the effect of Ramipril in suppressing ST2 (suppression of tumorigenicity 2) in the cardiac mitral valve in patients with Rheumatic Heart Disease. We hypothesized that we hypothesized that ramipril will improve rheumatic mitral valve fibrosis through the downregulation of ST2.

NCT ID: NCT03991871 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Cardiac Rehabilitation

HARapan kiTa ECP (External Counter Pulsation) Study HARTEC Study

HARTEC
Start date: July 1, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

External Counterpulsation Therapy (ECP) is a therapeutic procedure that performed on patients with angina or heart failure to relieve the ischaemic symptoms, improve functional capacity, and quality of life. In recent studies, ECP has already proved to reduce angina symptoms, decrease degree of ischemic in heart train test. External Counterpulsation Therapy (ECP) therapy is a non-invasive technique for sequentially pressuring calf, lower thighs, and upper thighs through developed cuffs at pressure above systolic blood pressure when diastole, then deflated at systole.

NCT ID: NCT03988933 Active, not recruiting - Latent Tuberculosis Clinical Trials

2R2: Higher Dose Rifampin for 2 Months vs Standard Dose Rifampin for Latent TB.

2R2
Start date: September 20, 2019
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

Rationale: Shorter regimens of high dose daily rifampin may be safe, and as effective as the standard rifampin regimen when taken for 4 months to treat latent TB (LTBI). However, there is insufficient evidence on the optimal dose of rifampin that has similar efficacy as the standard 4-month rifampin regimen without jeopardizing safety or affecting completion rates. Objectives: The general purpose of this study is to determine if rifampin at double or triple the standard dose for 2 months is as safe and effective as the standard dose of rifampin when taken for 4 months to treat latent tuberculosis (TB). Treatment: Persons who need treatment for latent TB, will be given rifampin, either at the standard dose (10mg/kg/day) for 4 months (control arm); or at double dose (20mg/kg/day) for 2 months (intervention arm 1); or at triple dose (30mg/kg/day) for 2 months (intervention arm 2). Design: This is 1:1:1 randomized, phase 2b, partially blind, controlled trial. The two higher doses (intervention arms) will be administered double-blind: participants and providers will be aware of the duration of their regimen, but they will both remain blinded to the specific dose (i.e. 20 or 30 mg/kg/day) for those randomized to 2-months regimens. All members of the same household of a patient with newly diagnosed active pulmonary TB will be randomized together (i.e. cluster randomized). Population and setting: Adults and children aged 10 years and above, who have latent TB infection and are recommended by their doctor to take treatment for latent TB can participate in the study. The planned number of persons with latent TB to recruit is about 1359 in total (or about 453 for each of the three arms). The study will take place in 6 sites: four in Canada (Calgary, Edmonton, Montreal and Vancouver), one in Indonesia (Bandung) and one in Viet Nam (1 clinic in Ho Chi Min City and 3 clinics in Ha Noi). Outcomes: Primary outcomes are: 1) Treatment completion and 2) Safety (i.e. grade 3-5 adverse events). Secondary outcomes are: 1) Safety (i.e. grade 1-2 adverse events) and 2) Efficacy (i.e. rates of active TB in the 26 months post-randomization). More information on how outcomes are defined is provided in the detailed description below.

NCT ID: NCT03960411 Recruiting - Heart Failure Clinical Trials

Effect of Doxycycline on Cardiac Remodelling in STEMI Patients

Start date: May 25, 2019
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

Subsequent to the loss of myocardium post-myocardial infarction (MI), the affected ventricle undergoes some dynamic structural and functional changes known as remodeling. Cardiac remodeling progresses into heart failure (HF). In this revolutionized percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) era, the incidence of post-MI HF due to cardiac remodeling remains high. Current standard therapeutic interventions, for HF, aimed solely at correcting a low cardiac output do not necessarily impede HF progression. Recently, doxycycline was found to have an additional biological effect aside from their antimicrobial actions. From several experimental studies and clinical trials, doxycycline showed MMP inhibition activities that can prevent ventricular remodeling. This study aims to evaluate the role of doxycycline in cardiac remodeling prevention post-MI. Our hypothesis is that a better heart function will be observed in STEMI patients who receive a short period of doxycycline administration post-PCI.
