There are about 463 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Jordan. 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.
A previous study (MINTOR 1) found that 43% of ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients in Jordan had a triggering events. Fifteen years later, with changing demographics and in the post covid-19 time, we believe that triggered acute myocardial infarction might have changed in incidence and nature of the triggering events.
Individuals evaluated for primary and secondary cardiovascular prevention have different levels of cardiovascular risk These levels of risk are the main determinants of the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) target blood levels that need to be attained.
The present study aims to examine the clinical practice of modifying the dose of lipid-lowering therapy in patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), who have LDL-C > 70 mg/dl despite statin treatment.
This is a multi-centre, open label, randomized phase 3 selection study (1:2:2 randomization). After confirmation of the eligibility criteria, 185 patients will be randomized 1:2:2 to either the control arm (doxorubicin 60-75 mg/m² IV every 3 weeks) or experimental arm 1 (doxorubicin 12 mg/m2 IV every week) or experimental arm 2 (cyclophosphamide 100 mg orally BD plus prednisolone 10-20 mg orally on day 1 to day 7 of each 14 day cycle). HRQoL assessment will be performed every 3 weeks during the first 12 weeks and every 12 weeks thereafter until month 12 after start of treatment. Disease evaluation will be performed every 12 weeks until progression. The primary endpoint of the study is difference among the study arms in physical and role functioning at 12 weeks.
This is a randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, Phase 3 study to evaluate the efficacy of the administration of phenobarbital sodium injection in neonates who have suffered from electrographic or electroclinical seizure. As neonatal seizures can have long-term adverse effects, including death, placebo-controlled studies are not appropriate for this population. This study is designed to show intravenous phenobarbital is effective at preventing subsequent seizures by demonstrating greater efficacy at a higher dose compared to a lower dose.
The main objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of dimethyl fumarate (Tecfidera) and peginterferon beta-1a (Plegridy), both compared with placebo, in pediatric participants with RRMS. The other objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety and tolerability of dimethyl fumarate and peginterferon beta-1a and to assess the effect of dimethyl fumarate and peginterferon beta-1a, both compared with placebo, on additional clinical and radiological measures of disease activity.
This study was designed to evaluate the role of canakinumab in combination with docetaxel in subjects with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) previously treated with PD-(L)1 inhibitors and platinum-based chemotherapy.
The study (Statin Eligibility Prior to myocardial infarction (MI) in Jordanians, StatinEPIC) is 1. Cross sectional 2. Non interventional 3. One encounter per patient. No follow up. It addresses a major issue of primary prevention in Jordanians especially the young population, namely the issue of lipid lowering agents before sustaining an acute MI. A recent study in USA showed that 50% of patients who sustained MI were not eligible to statins had they been evaluated before the heart attack. It is largely unknown if a larger percentage of Middle Eastern patients who sustain a heart attack would be eligible to receive lipid lowering agents. 4. The PI will overlook the whole process. Dr Ahmad Tamari, the assistant to the PI will asses this whole process of data collection, management and manuscript drafting.
The purpose of this multicenter randomized study is to compare the effectiveness and safety of erlotinib and pemetrexed in the maintenance treatment of patients with advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)
The primary purpose of the study was to compare the efficacy and safety of canakinumab versus placebo as adjuvant therapy in adult subjects with stages II -IIIA according to the 8th edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC)/Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) and the subset of IIIB (T>5cm N2 disease) completely resected (R0) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
