There are about 682 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Lebanon. 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.
Colonoscopy is the preferred procedure to investigate any large-bowel disease in adults and children. In addition, colonoscopy is the current gold standard for colorectal cancer screening due to its high diagnostic capabilities and its unique feature that permits sampling and removal of pathology. For optimal performance and visualization of details, however, an adequate bowel preparation is essential. Inadequate bowel preparation is associated with cancelled procedures, prolonged procedure time, incomplete examination, increased cost and possibly complications, physician frustration and patient anxiety, but most importantly serving to impede colorectal cancer screening and surveillance. A good bowel preparation would need a solution with a reasonable volume, acceptable taste, minimal diet restrictions, and easy to follow instructions; and would also need patients' adherence to the instructions and diet restrictions. Noncompliance of patients to the diet restrictions, the starting day of diet, the timing of drinking the solution, and other instructions play an important role in rendering the colon preparation inadequate. Aim: The investigators aim, at assessing the influence of having a reminder mobile application on the compliance and adherence to instructions and diet and consequently on the quality of colon preparation. Hypothesis: The investigators' hypothesis is that patients having a customized mobile App reminding them systematically about instruction and time of intake of the preparation will have a better adherence to the prep protocol and likely on the quality preparation than those given written and verbal instructions in clinic.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of BG00012 (dimethyl fumarate) on brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) lesions in pediatric participants with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). The secondary objectives of this study are to characterize the pharmacokinetics of BG00012 in pediatric participants with RRMS and to evaluate the safety and tolerability of BG00012 in pediatric participants with RRMS.
This study will assess the efficacy of Octafibrin, a fibrinogen concentrate in in the on-demand treatment of spontaneous or traumatic bleeding episodes in paediatric patients less than 12 years of age.The planned study duration is up to 5 years. The study will be considered completed when a minimum of 6 subjects (i.e., at least 3 subjects aged between 0 and <6 years and 3 subjects aged between 6 and <12 years) have at least one documented bleeding episode and when in total a minimum of 2 surgical procedures have been performed. All patients will undergo a pharmacokinetic (PK) study after screening. This will have a duration of 14 days, after which a patient can be treated for a bleeding episode or planned surgical procedure when they occur.
The purpose of this "first-in-human" study of PDR001 was to characterize the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD) and antitumor activity of PDR001 administered i.v. as a single agent to adult patients with solid tumors. By blocking the interaction between PD-1 and its ligands, PD-L1 and PD-L2, PDR001 inhibits the PD-1 immune checkpoint, resulting in activation of an antitumor immune response by activating effector T-cells and inhibiting regulatory T-cells.
The purpose of the Mother Child Education Program (MOCEP)—a group-based early childhood development parenting education program—is to provide school-readiness and parenting skills to mothers of young children who do not have access to preschool education services. The MOCEP intervention also provides a setting in which caregivers can model pro-social behaviors and practice conflict resolution techniques directly with young children.
The purpose of this study is to compare trans-abdominal uterine massage to sustained uterine compression after vaginal delivery with respect to blood loss and maternal pain. It is a randomized controlled trial that will be conducted at the American University of Beirut Medical Center - Delivery Suite.
Prospective Randomized non inferiority Trial involving adult patients undergoing elective surgery under general anesthesia.56 Patients will be enrolled in 2 groups : full dose sugammadex vs half dose sugammadex for reversal of NMB.
Tonsillectomy is one of the most frequent surgical operations performed in children [1-4]. It is usually associated with postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) with an incidence ranging from 23% to 73% [2]. Dexamethasone has been shown to be effective in reducing PONV after tonsillectomy using standardized anesthetic technique [2, 5-7]. Previous studies utilizing a different technique, the pre-incision infiltration of local anesthesia, had shown to decrease post-tonsillectomy pain, reduce analgesic consumption and provide a rapid return to normal activity [8, 9]. Given the effectiveness of dexamethasone and the pre-incision infiltration anesthetic technique, it would be beneficial to compare the effect of each on PONV.
This study aims to look at patient and physician satisfaction of long term Glabellar lines (GL) treatment with Dysport in a real life setting. It will also allow better understanding of what patients expect from the treatment, and the injection practices used by doctors.
DISCOVER is a Non Interventional Study study to describe the disease management patterns and clinical evolution over three years in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients initiating a second line anti-diabetic treatment.
