There are about 5548 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in India. 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 study is to assess the long-term safety, tolerability, and efficacy after 48 and 72 weeks with monthly (Q4W [<31 days]) dosing of subcutaneous (SC) LIB003 300 mg administered in patients with CVD or at high risk for CVD (including HoFH and HeFH) on stable diet and oral LDL-C lowering drug therapy who completed one of the LIB003 Phase 3 base studies.
Edentulous patients commonly experience a deterioration in the quality of life; both in terms of oral and general health. Studies demonstrated that conventional dentures do not adequately restore masticatory function nor quality of life. In contrast, implant-supported overdentures are considered the standard of care for edentulous patients as they offer a more stable prosthesis that ultimately results in improved oral function and patient satisfaction. Precision attachments such as studs, magnets, telescopic crowns or a bars are commonly used for implant supported overdentures. Implant overdentures supported by stud attachments gained popularity for the rehabilitation of edentulous patients as they are self-aligning, offer dual retention and compensate for divergence between implants up to angles of 40 degrees. However, it has been documented that the stud attachment system (Locators) requires a high frequency of maintenance, particularly with regard to the replacement of the matrix. In order to overcome some of these limitations of existing attachment systems, a newer system was developed consisting of a matrix made of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) instead of a polymeric material. This system has an amorphous diamond like carbon-based abutment coating (ADLC) and it was claimed to be more resistant to wear. Clinically and in vitro, no comparative studies have been performed addressing wear and retention of the traditional stud attachment and the newer ADLC attachment. Thus, the aim of the present study is to clinically and in vitro evaluate the ADLC and study attachment system.
The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has created a significant strain on health care resources across the world for managing critically ill patients. Emerging reports from China, South Korea and Italy have reported varying incidence of acute kidney (AKI) ranging from 5-15% with a mortality of 60-80% however there is no systematic assessment of the risk factors, recognition, course and outcomes in patients with and without kidney disease whose course is complicated by AKI1-4. Patients with underlying CKD, immunosuppressed patients with renal transplants and ESKD patients are at high risk for COVID-19 infection and there is limited information on the effect of COVID-19 on the course and outcomes of these patients. The requirement for renal support including IHD, CRRT and sorbent based therapies has been variable and has contributed to the intense pressure on the nephrology and critical care providers for delivering these therapies. As the COVID-19 pandemic expands in the USA and abroad, there is an intense need to understand the epidemiology of the disease and the resources needed for renal support to inform clinical management and public health interventions. In this study, the investigators aim to investigate health care facilities across the world (hospital wards, ICU, outpatient clinics, nursing homes, healthcare centers) to draw a global picture of incidence, risk factors, resources available for treatment and prognosis of acute and chronic kidney disease in patient with COVID 19 confirmed infection. The aim is to identify trends in patients with acute and chronic kidney disease, determine its incidence, treatment and outcomes in different settings across the world. This information will be used to develop and implement educational tools and resources to prevent deaths from AKI and progression of CKD in this and following pandemics.
Purpose of this study is to clinically evaluate and compare various patient centered outcomes using diode LASER in Continuous mode (CW) and Pulsed Mode (PM) using 300µm and 400µm fiber for depigmentation procedure.
The objective of the present study is 1. To study the incidence and magnitude of bacteremia after periodontal flap surgery . 2. To compare and evaluate the effect of diode laser on frequency of bacteremia associated with periodontal flap surgery . 3. To study the incidence of bacteremia after laser therapy
The current study is a prospective randomised split mouth study to evaluate the effect of Platelet Rich Fibrin as an adjunct to the minimally invasive pinhole surgical technique.
The present study is a human, prospective, parallel, randomised controlled clinical trial conducted to check the interproximal bone loss of Z shaped incision over conventional sulcular H shaped incision.The trial is in accordance with the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) criteria, 2010.
This study will be an assessor-blind, randomized controlled trial in patients with CSU. The investigators will compared Vit D level in patients with Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) and controls. Enrolled CSU patients with Vit D level <30ng/ml will be then randomized into three intervention arms in the ratio of 1:1:1. Patients belonging to intervention group A will be treated with low dose Vit D (2000 IU/day) for 12 weeks according to the Indian council of medical research (ICMR) guidelines. Intervention group B patients will be treated with high dose Vit D (60,000 IU/week) for 12 weeks and group C will not be given any Vit D supplements. All patients will be evaluated after 12 weeks. The urticaria activity score over 4 days (UAS4) will be used to assess the disease severity using the number of wheals and pruritus intensity based on the EAACI/GA2LEN/EDF guidelines. The patient's disease severity levels will be graded as mild (0-8), moderate (9-16), and severe (17-24).
Severe pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (PARDS) is a life-threatening and frequent problem experienced by thousands of children each year. Little evidence supports current supportive practices during their critical illness. The overall objective of this study is to identify the best positional and/or ventilation practice that leads to improved patient outcomes in these critically ill children. We hypothesize that children with high moderate-severe PARDS treated with either prone positioning or high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) will demonstrate more days off the ventilator when compared to children treated with supine positioning or conventional mechanical ventilation (CMV).
Preterm birth is a major cause of child mortality and morbidity, most of which occurs in south-east Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. To date few neonatal cause of death studies, especially in low- and middle-income countries have determined the specific causes of preterm death, instead attributing all neonatal deaths of infants born at less than 37 weeks to prematurity. Infections are responsible for a large proportion of these deaths but because of complexity and costs associated with testing, little is known about the prevalence of infection-related deaths in preterm infants or the specific pathogens associated with mortality. The primary objective of this study is to determine the cause of deaths among preterm births and stillbirths. Secondary outcomes include determining the specific pathogens responsible for infection-related deaths, potential preventability of these deaths and interventions which may reduce mortality. One site in India and one in Pakistan will include a total sample size of 700 (350 stillbirths and 350 preterm neonatal deaths) for 1,400 cases to be included in the cause of death analyses. All women who deliver a preterm birth or a stillbirth at the study hospitals will be eligible for inclusion. Among those who consent, an obstetric history, clinical obstetric and (if applicable) neonatal care will be collected as well as research investigations including ultrasound, x-ray, microbiology and minimally invasive tissue sampling and autopsy will be collected. This study will align with other efforts to determine cause of death among infants and children and ultimately the results will inform future interventions to reduce neonatal mortality and stillbirth. The researchers emphasize that this study, with its focus on preterm neonatal mortality and stillbirth, will provide information not available elsewhere.
