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.
In a prospective randomized clinical trial involving adult patients undergoing elective surgery under general anesthesia, the investigators will enroll 216 patients, and evaluate 3 doses of prophylactic dexmedetomidine as a means to reduce postoperative shivering and quality of emergence from anesthesia versus placebo.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether intrathecal morphine (ITM) alone or its combination with peripheral nerve blocks (PNB) provides better analgesia for patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
Assessed the new film-coated tablet formulation to the currently approved dispersible tablet formulation with regards to overall safety, Gastrointestinal (GI) tolerability, palatability, satisfaction and compliance
Atorvastatin is a statin that significantly decreases LDL level. At 10 mg/day, atorvastatin increases HDL level by 4-5%. At 80 mg/day, atorvastatin does not increase HDL level. However, atorvastatin is more protective at 80 mg/day than at 10 mg/day. This is due to a better reduction in LDL level at 80 mg, but we also think that 80 mg/day of atorvastatin is superior to 10 mg/day in improving the QUALITY of HDL, such as improving HDL particle number and function (better anti-oxydant activity)
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the use of hybrid simulation of the breast are more effective in teaching CBE technique and culturally sensitive doctor-patient communication skills to medical students than the traditional method.
In this prospective observational double-blind study, the investigators aim to assess the effect of the single nucleotide polymorphism of the μ-opioid receptor gene (OPRM1, p.118A/G) on the duration of epidural fentanyl labor analgesia.
The aim of the study is to evaluate clinical pharmacology, efficacy and safety of FGTW in pediatric patients with congenital fibrinogen deficiency.
This is an international, multicenter, open-label study to assess the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of rVIII-SingleChain in pediatric patients with severe hemophilia A. A minimum of 25 previously treated subjects ≥ 6 to < 12 years of age and at least 25 subjects < 6 years of age who have undergone > 50 exposure days (EDs) with a previous Factor VIII (FVIII) product are planned to be enrolled. Subjects will be assigned to either an on-demand or prophylaxis treatment regimen for the treatment of bleeding episodes and will receive rVIII-SingleChain at a dose to be determined by the investigator. Hemostatic efficacy will be assessed by the subject/caregiver and the investigator who will assess overall efficacy by a 4-point scale.
This post-marketing study is designed to compare the safety of tofacitinib versus TNF inhibitor with respect to major cardiovascular adverse events and malignancies, excluding non-melanoma skin cancers when given to subjects with rheumatoid arthritis. Other safety events, including non-melanoma skin cancers, hepatic events, infections, and efficacy parameters will be collected and evaluated in the study.
This study is designed to evaluate the effectiveness of 2 doses of pregabalin to reduce seizure frequency as an add on therapy in pediatric subjects 1 month to <4 years of age with refractory partial onset seizures. It is hypothesized that both doses of pregabalin will demonstrate superior efficacy when compared to placebo by reducing the partial onset seizure frequency and that pregabalin will be safe and well tolerated.
