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.
Study A0081106 is a 12-month open-label study to evaluate the long term safety and tolerability of pregabalin as add-on therapy in pediatric subjects 1 month to 16 years of age with partial onset seizures and pediatric and adult subjects 5 to 65 years of age with primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures. Pregabalin will be administered in equally divided daily doses for 1 year, in either capsule or liquid oral formulation.
Primary Objective: - To demonstrate the superiority of glimepiride and metformin free combination in comparison to glimepiride or metformin alone in terms of Hb1Ac reduction during a 24-week treatment period in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Secondary Objectives: - To assess the effects of the free combination of glimepiride and metformin in comparison to glimepiride or metformin alone on: - Percentage of patients reaching HbA1c < 7% - Percentage of patients reaching HbA1c < 6.5% - Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) - Safety and tolerability
The purpose of the study is to prove that pain scores generated from painful stimuli applied preoperatively may help identify the inter-individual variability in pain perception.
This prospective, multicenter, observational cohort study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of peginterferon alfa (e.g. Pegasys) plus ribavirin and treatment regimens containing direct-acting antivirals in patients with chronic hepatitis C who are treatment-naïve or treatment-experienced and HIV HCV co-infected. Data will be collected from patients receiving treatment according to current Summary of Product Characteristics and local labeling for the duration of their treatment and a 24-week follow-up.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, immunogenicity and safety of GSK Biologicals' influenza candidate vaccine GSK2321138A when compared to non-influenza vaccine comparators in children 6 to 35 months of age. Recruitment will encompass at least 4 independent cohorts: a first cohort in the Northern Hemisphere (2011-2012), a second cohort in subtropical countries (2012), third cohort in the Northern Hemisphere (2012-2013) and a fourth cohort and additional independent cohorts possibly in NH countries (end 2013) and subtropical countries (beginning 2014).
The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of the combination therapy of linagliptin and metformin at submaximal doses in reduction of Glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) and metformin pre-specified gastro-intestinal (GI) side effects in treatment naive patients of with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
This study constitutes Phase I of the Registry Program. The main objective of this study is to characterize the newly diagnosed non-valvular AF patient population at risk for stroke and the selection of antithrombotic treatment for stroke prevention in a real-world setting before dabigatran etexilate is approved for the prevention of strokes and systemic emboli in patients with non-valvular AF in different regions of the world.
This trial will evaluate use of BI 10773/linagliptin once daily (qd) fixed dose combination (FDC) in treatment naïve and metformin treated patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus to support approval by regulatory authorities.
This trial will evaluate safety and efficacy of BI 10773 in hypertensive patients with type 2 diabetes. Since hyperglycaemia and hypertension are key risk factors for both micro- and macrovascular complications, assessment of both glucose and blood pressure lowering effects of BI 10773 in hypertensive patients with type 2 diabetes could provide clinically highly relevant, new information for the use of BI 10773
Sickle Cell Anemia is caused by an inherited hemoglobin disorder. Healthy red blood cells are discoid and can deform and move through small blood vessels to carry oxygen to all parts of the body. In sickle cell disease, as red blood cells circulate and oxygen is released in the circulatory system, the deoxygenated abnormal hemoglobin S can begin to polymerize. When this occurs, the red blood cells can become sticky and elongated. These sickled red blood cells are less flexible and will obstruct small blood vessels and block normal red blood cells from traveling through the circulatory system, which limits oxygen delivery to tissues and organs. This is known as a "sickle crisis". Patients suffering from a sickle crisis experience severe pain and are at risk of stroke, heart attack or even death. By lowering the level of oxygen pressure at which sickling occurs and opening the vasculature and rapidly delivering oxygen directly to ischemic tissues, the addition of MP4CO to existing treatment protocols may alleviate pain associated with a sickle cell crisis, abort a crisis and/or potentially reduce the duration of a crisis. This could mean less time in the hospital and an improved quality of life for patients with sickle cell anemia.
