There are about 5618 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.
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a common complication of diabetes mellitus that leads to loss of vision and blindness among working age adults. An ideal adjunctive agent for treating DR hence should be polymorphic and possess antiangiogenic, neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant as well as anti-ischaemic properties.Natureceuticals Sdn Bhd assessed the efficacy of core ingredient of Nuvastatic™, Lanctos 75™ for the treatment and management of the diabetic retinopathic condition.
A two arm open label multi-centered randomized interventional trial is proposed to assess aspects of safety and efficacy of Nuvastatic™ (Serial No: C5OSEW5050ESA) . Two parallel groups of (1:1) ratio comparing Nuvastatic™ versus standard care will be conducted on patients on oxygen saturation (SaO2) of 94% or less while they are breathing ambient air or a ratio of the partial pressure of oxygen (Pao2) to the fraction of inspired oxygen (Fio2) (PaO2:FiO2) at or below 300 mg Hg. Primary Outcome Measures: time to clinical improvement, defined as the time from randomization to an improvement of two points (from the status at randomization) on a seven-category ordinal scale or live discharge from the hospital, whichever comes first. Secondary Outcome Measures: Clinical status as assessed with the seven-category ordinal scale on days 7 and 14, mortality at day 28. 1. The duration of mechanical ventilation. 2. The duration of hospitalization in survivors. 3. The time (in days) from treatment initiation to death. 4. Virologic measures included the proportions with viral RNA detection over time and viral RNA titer area under-curve (auc) measurements.
The present study is designed as a two arm randomized trial to evaluate the impact of accelerated radiotherapy delivered by image guided radiotherapy with rapid arc technique in carcinoma nasopharynx. The study will evaluate a pure acceleration schedule of 6 fractions per week with concurrent chemotherapy and without any radiotherapy dose escalation.The control arm will receive standard chemoradiotherapy using image guided radiotherapy with rapid arc technique.
Rectal varices (RVs) are an important cause of lower gastrointestinal bleed (LGIB) in portal hypertension (PHT) and have been reported to occur in 44% to 89% of cases of cirrhosis. RVs are dilated sub-mucosal porto-systemic communications which extend from mid rectum to the ano-rectal junction and are considered distinct from internal hemorrhoids, which are submucosal arterio-venous communications of the anorectal vascular plexus. The suspicion of RVs as the cause of bleeding can be made with a high index of suspicion when lower GI bleed is seen in absence of hemorrhoids, and colonoscopy shows blood in rectum. Bleeding usually happens from endoscopically evident rectal varices (EERV) but sometimes bleed can occur from varices, which are endoscopically in evident (EIERV). Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) has been shown to be more sensitive in diagnosis of EIERV. Endoscopic and EUS correlation of RVs has shown that RVs, classified as tortuous, nodular, and tumorous on endoscopic examination, have corresponding appearances on rectal EUS as single, multiple, and innumerable submucosal veins, respectively. The hemodynamic evaluation (HDE) of RVs by EUS is routinely done at some centers to assess parameters like the site, size, velocity, or direction of flow.
WAYFIND-R is a registry that aims to capture high-quality real-world data linking next-generation sequencing, treatments and outcomes from cancer patients diagnosed with a solid tumour. The WAYFIND-R has three main overarching objectives: 1. To provide a platform to support the design and conduct of clinical and epidemiological research; 2. To develop an evidence-generation platform to better understand health outcomes and cancer care processes; and 3. To characterize the treatments and clinical course of solid tumor cancers in patients who have undergone NGS testing.
The study will assess the long-term (up to 5 years) safety and performance in patients with open-angle glaucoma uncontrolled by topical hypotensive medications who had previously been implanted with a MINIject glaucoma implant.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetic (PK) properties of antiretroviral (ARV) and anti-tuberculosis (TB) drugs administered during pregnancy and postpartum.
The Phase 1 PK study is planned to evaluate the food effect on WD-1603 pharmacokinetics
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES 1. To evaluate whether acute pancreatitis results in increased endocrine dysfunction or not? 2. To evaluate whether severity of acute pancreatitis have an impact on the development of endocrine dysfunction or not? 1.4 MATERIALS AND METHODS:- Definitions … 1) Acute pancreatitis…..Acute pancreatitis is best defined clinically by a patient presenting with 2 of the following 3 criteria: (1) symptoms(e.g., epigastric pain) consistent with pancreatitis, (2) a serum amylase or lipase level greater than 3 times the laboratory's upper limit of normal, and (3) radiologic imaging consistent with pancreatitis, usually using CT or MRI.The AtlantaCriteria revision of 2012 classifies severity as mild, moderately severe, or severe. Mild acute pancreatitis has no organ failure, no local or systemic complications.Moderately-severe acute pancreatitis is defined by the presence of transient organ failure (lasting <48 hours) and/or local complications.Severe acute pancreatitis is defined by persistent organ failure (lasting >48 hours). Local complications include peripancreatic fluid collections, pancreatic and peripancreatic necrosis (sterile or infected), pseudocyst, and walled-offnecrosis (sterile or infected) . Prediabetes/Diabetes….Prediabetes is defined by fasting blood glucose (FBG ≥(100 mg/dL) and <(126 mg/dL),and/or 2 h oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) criteria as >/ (140 mg/dL) and < (200 mg/dL)) or HbA1c of 5.7% to 6.4%. DM is defined as (FBG ≥ (126 mg/dL) or 2 hOGTT ≥ (200 mg/dL)or HbA1c value>/ 6.5% ,treatment with insulin, oral hypoglycaemic agents or specific dietary management. Diagnosis of diabetes in asymptomatic patients is established by presence of abnormal test results in 2 out of 3 parameters used(FBG,OGTT or HbA1c) or if only one test result is abnormal ,needs to be confirmed on next day or few days later by repeat testing of the specific parameter. Study design :- Single center ,prospective cohort study performed at a tertiary care centre (Asian institute of gastroenterology , Hyderabad) from Feb 2019 to May 2020. Participant recruitment procedures…. Patient enrollment from Feb 2019 to May 2019 & follow up of each case upto 1 year, upto May 2020(1 year follow up). Primary outcome-Development of endocrine dysfunction (diabetes & prediabetes) after acute pancreatitis Secondary outcomes-Whether severity of acute pancreatitis correlate with development of diabetes & prediabetes.
Colorectal carcinoma (CRC) is the third most common cancer in male and female worldwide. In India, it is the fourth most common cause of cancer in males and third most common cancer in female. Age, smoking, colonic adenomatous polyp, family history are traditional risk factor for CRC. The vast majority of CRC results from malignant transformation from adenoma, which is called as adenoma carcinoma sequence. These adenomatous polyps grows slowly over many years and malignant transformation eventually occurs over 10 years. So, the early detection and removal of polyp at early stage should benefit in preventing CRC.
