There are about 1183 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Indonesia. 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 is a prospective, double-blind, randomized, and controlled study. The investigational product, DLBS1033 at a dose of 490 mg thrice daily or placebo, will be given for an 8-week course of therapy. DLBS1033 effectively demonstrated fibrinolytic, fibrinogenolytic as well as antithrombotic activities. Hypercoagulation state with high fibrinogen level is usually found in diabetes mellitus patients. Therefore, the hypothesis of interest of this study is that DLBS1033 will reduce fibrinogen level of diabetes mellitus patients better than that of the Control Group.
Sepsis is a serious clinical condition with a considerable morbidity and mortality. Procalcitonin (PCT) is a good biomarker for early diagnosis and infection monitoring. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of semi-quantitative PCT test to the empirical antibiotic initiation time, the appropriateness of empirical antibiotics and mortality in septic patients. The hypothesis of the study are : - There is an effect on mortality between septic patients who do and do not do semi-quantitative PCT examination - There is an effect on empirical antibiotic initiation time between septic patients who do and do not do semi-quantitative PCT examination - There is an effect on appropriateness of empirical antibiotic between septic patients who do and do not do semi-quantitative PCT examination Study design is randomized diagnostic trial which is also a pragmatic trial.
This study is initiated to investigate the effect of multi micronutrient supplementation for 12 months on serum haemoglobin level in Indonesian young children.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness and tolerability of hepatitis C virus (HCV) treatment in HIV co-infected patients in routine health care services in Asia through a pilot model of care for treatment of HCV in resource-limited settings.
There is a structured educational effect on blood pressure reduction in elderly hypertensive patients.
Life style changes, particularly in dietary patterns have contributed a great deal to the incidence and risks of type 2 Diabetes. Decreased intakes of vegetables and fruits replaced by pre processed food, added sugar and those of animal origin lead towards rapid increase of adult-onset-diabetes. In spite of the knowledge of the benefit of consuming vegetable and fruits, and people are well informed, they still need to be committed to perform a behavior and implement these intention. Behavioral approach methods have demonstrated successful adherence in health education with life style changes. Objective: To identify the impact of The Empowerment Model to enhance vegetable intake in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus adults in achieving glycemic control.
The main determinant of primaquine efficacy is the total dose of primaquine administered, rather than the dosing schedule. Previous trials have demonstrated that the standard low dose regimen of primaquine (3.5 mg/kg total) fails to prevent relapses in many different endemic locations. For this reason the 2010 WHO antimalarial guidelines now recommend a high dose regimen of 7 mg/kg (equivalent to an adult dose of 30mg per day), although many countries still recommend lower doses for fear of causing more serious harm to unscreened G6PDd patients. Shorter courses of higher daily doses of primaquine have the potential to improve adherence and thus effectiveness without compromising efficacy. Primaquine also has relatively weak but clinically relevant asexual stage activity against P. vivax so larger daily doses may substantially augment chloroquine's blood stage activity at low levels of resistance. In Thailand directly observed primaquine (1mg/kg/day) administered over 7 days was well tolerated and reduced relapses by day 28 to 4%. This is encouraging but not definitive since many relapses present after one month. Longer follow-up is needed to distinguish whether relapse was prevented or deferred. If the efficacy, tolerability and safety of short-course, high-dose primaquine regimens can be assured across the range of endemic settings, along with reliable point-of-care G6PDd diagnostics, then this new primaquine regimen would be a major advance in malaria treatment improving adherence to and thus the effectiveness of anti-relapse therapy. Due to the long duration of standard primaquine treatment regimens, courses are difficult to supervise, are poorly adhered to and lack effectiveness. This proposed multicentre randomised clinical trial will provide evidence across a variety of endemic settings on the safety and efficacy of high dose-short course primaquine in G6PD normal patients. In a parallel single arm study the investigators will also gather safety data on the use of weekly primaquine in patients with G6PDd. This study aims to generate evidence that will directly inform global public health policy for the radical cure of P. vivax. A better understanding of the risks and benefits of primaquine is crucial in persuading policy makers and clinicians of the importance of the radical cure of vivax malaria that will reduce the parasite reservoir and decrease transmission.

The use of soy-isolate protein based formula for infants with cow's milk protein intolerance is common in Indonesia, however, there has not been any systematic collection of clinical data to determine the formula's gastrointestinal tolerance, and the parent's perceptions regarding the formula.
This research aims to compare between bandage contact lens and pressure patching in reducing size of erosion area and pain scale in corneal erosion patients as well as its complications.
Tuberculous (TB) meningitis is the most severe manifestation of TB infection, leaving up to 50% of patients dead or neurologically disabled. Current treatment is similar to treatment of lung TB, although penetration of some antibiotics into the brain is poor and the immune-pathology of TB meningitis is very different from pulmonary TB. In a recent phase II clinical trial from the investigators group, the first of its kind globally, intensified antibiotic treatment, with moxifloxacin and high dose rifampicin, strongly reduced mortality of TB meningitis. The investigators aim to examine the effect of intensified antibiotic treatment on mortality and morbidity of TB meningitis in a phase 3 clinical trial, preceded with an explorative pharmacokinetic (PK) study to examine if higher oral doses rifampicin result in exposures similar to the i.v. dose used in our phase 2 trial, since oral rifampicin could be implemented much easier in low-resource settings.
