There are about 188 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Kuwait. 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.
Cow Milk Allergy (CMA) occurs in 2 to 5 % of all infants. Reflux, regurgitation and vomiting are well recognised symptoms of CMA. The recommended treatment of CMA is an extensive hydrolysate. The North American Society of Pediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition (NASPGHAN) & the European Society of Pediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition (ESPGHAN) reflux guidelines have no strict recommendations for the treatment of distressed infants with reflux, suspected of CMA. One of the preferred proposed options is to thicken an extensive hydrolysate . This study aims at evaluating the additional value of a thickened extensive hydrolysate in children suspected of CMA and presenting with frequent regurgitation.
In most diabetic patients where low blood magnesium levels occur the important depletion of cellular levels is usually not measured. This study will measure both blood and oral mucosal cell magnesium levels before and after 3 months of supplementation with magnesium tablets (the recommended dietary amount of 336 milligrams per day). These magnesium levels will be correlated with blood levels of indicators of inflammation (eg C reactive protein) to see whether the cellular levels are more reliable than blood levels of magnesium for appropriate treatment of magnesium deficiency in diabetic patients.
Primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an uncommon disease characterised by a low platelet count, which may cause the patient to have a higher risk or increased duration of bleeding. Individual hospitals only encounter a small number of ITP patients each year which makes it difficult to study this disease. By creating this disease registry, we will be able to build a more complete picture of ITP, including treatment practices, through collecting information about the condition from patients across several hospitals in several countries. Research of this kind will help future patients by providing doctors with information about ITP, and about how patients have been treated.
This is a 2-year, randomized, multicenter, open-label, 2-arm study evaluating the graft function of everolimus and reduced CNI versus MPA and standard CNI in adult de novo renal transplant recipients.
This prospective, observational study will evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of RoActemra/Actemra (tocilizumab) in patients with moderate to severe active rheumatoid arthritis who have had an inadequate response or are intolerant to one or more conventional disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs. Data will be collected from patients initiated on RoActemra/Actemra treatment according to the local label at baseline, Weeks 4, 12 and 24, and at 3 and 6 months after the last dose of study drug.
To evaluate vildagliptin as compared to gliclazide, given in combination with metformin in Muslim patients with type 2 diabetes fasting during Ramadan.
This multicenter study will evaluate the correlation of interleukin 28B (IL28B) genotypes with disease characteristics and demographics in treatment-naïve and treatment-experienced chronic hepatitis C patients, including patients with HIV co-infection. There will be a single study visit for testing.
The study aims to collect data on the influence of a treatment with Visanne (Dienogest 2mg/d) on the Endometriosis related quality of life. These data will be collected using a special patient questionnaire (Endometriosis Health Profile 5, EHP-5). The study will also be used to describe the basic disease status and demographic characteristics of patients searching treatment by a gynecologist because of their endometriosis. In addition, the study will give insight into the typical diagnostic measures the physicians in different countries are using in the field of endometriosis.
The study examines the Safety and efficacy study of exenatide once weekly in children and adolescents with type 2 diabetes
1. The present controlled, randomized, doubleblind study aims to answer the following questions: - How will the "normal flora" be affected by the xylitol consumption? - Will daily consumption of xylitol change the plaque-saliva distribution of the mutans streptococci? - The association of the test results will also be compared with the caries status at the baseline. 2. About eighty subjects with MS counts of log CFU 5 or more will be identified and invited to the study. They will be randomly divided into a Xylitol and Sorbitol group. 3. Xylitol/Sorbitol gum (6g polyol/day) will be used for 5 weeks. Saliva samples will be collected before and after gum use. 4. Studying and quantifying of 16 bacterial species belonging to the normal flora by DNA-DNA hybridizations and Real-time PCR will show how xylitol influenced the oral flora in general.
