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.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether oral etrasimod is a safe and effective treatment for moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis.
Size is a key data used daily by dietary teams; the paramedical team, nurse and diet are in charge of its measures. In pediatric intensive care unit, a reliable size of the child must be obtained. It allows to realize: - a nutritional assessment based on the World Health Organization (WHO) nutritional indices such as the Body Mass Index (BMI), growth chart monitoring and other nutritional indices. Nutritional status should be assessed and followed in pediatric intensive care as it is correlated with the prognosis of children. - an estimate of the energy needs by calculation of the rest energy expenditure. - a calculation of the body surface, useful for drug prescription, evaluation of burn scores, calculation of water and energy requirements and indexing of hemodynamic and ventilatory data. An error in size measurement results in an error in BMI, calculation of energy requirements, and body surface area. The WHO has defined "gold standard" criteria for measuring height in children, distinguishing the less than two years in whom the size is measured strictly lengthened, using a metric, and the more than two years in which height is measured standing with a stadiometer. In the context of pediatric resuscitation, the criteria for WHO size measurement are difficult to meet (coma, sedation, respiratory assistance, catheter, monitoring, proclive position, etc.) compromising standing or rectitude required for measurements. The child is a growing organism. Health book sizes and declarative sizes are not always up-to-date. It is therefore important to overcome these difficulties by using estimating or extrapolation methods that are applicable and safe in pediatric intensive care unit. Currently, in pediatric intensive care units, the size evaluation, by direct measurement, estimation or extrapolation of segmental measurement, is not systematic because of the complexity of the measurement; To date, no method is used as a reference method in pediatric intensive care. Among Children in pediatric intensive care unit (which does not usually meet the criteria of the WHO Gold Standard for Measurement of Height), to determine the optimal method for size measurement, by comparing different methods of estimating / extrapolating the size, gold standard WHO (achievable after the stay in intensive care).
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the investigational treatment (maralixibat) is safe and effective in pediatric participants with Progressive Familial Intrahepatic Cholestasis (PFIC).
The study is conducted to improve knowledge about the epidemiology of Lipoprotein(a) in patients with established cardiovascular disease (CVD).
This study evaluates the effectiveness of t-CETA, a version of Common Elements Treatment Approach (CETA) adapted to be delivered over the telephone, in treating common mental health problems in 8-17 year old Syrian refugee children living in Lebanon. Children will be randomly assigned to receive either t-CETA or treatment as usual provided by Médecins du Monde, an NGO providing medical and mental health services to Syrian refugees in Lebanon. If families do not agree to randomisation, they will be offered t-CETA and their data will be used to evaluate implementation and acceptability of the intervention. Symptoms of common mental health problems, including anxiety, depression, PTSD, and behavioural problems, and psychological well-being, will be measured before treatment, immediately after treatment, and three months after treatment is completed. Groups will be compared to determine if t-CETA is at least as effective as standard treatment provided by Médecins du Monde.
The primary objectives of this study are: - To describe the antibody response to meningococcal serogroups A, C, W, and Y measured by serum bactericidal assay using baby rabbit complement (rSBA) before and after a single dose of MenACYW conjugate vaccine - To describe the antibody response to meningococcal serogroups A, C, W, and Y measured by serum bactericidal assay using human complement (hSBA) before and after a single dose of MenACYW conjugate vaccine - To describe the antibody responses against tetanus toxoid at baseline and after a single dose of MenACYW conjugate vaccine - To describe the safety profile of a single dose of MenACYW conjugate vaccine
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of DCR-PHXC in Children and Adults with Primary Hyperoxaluria Type 1 (PH1) and Primary Hyperoxaluria Type 2 (PH2)
To compare the combination of Ribociclib plus goserelin acetate with hormonal therapy versus combination chemotherapy in premenopausal or perimenopausal patients with advanced or metastatic breast cancer
The purpose of this study is to describe two safe and reproducible techniques for the treatment of hyperhidrosis using botulinum toxin. The same patient will receive two different injection technique in each armpit and will be evaluated subjectively and objectively.
Acute bronchiolitis, mostly secondary to infection due to Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is very common in infants under two years old. It is usually benign. However, the dyspnea it causes is a big concern for parents and this disease can take a severe form on certain particular ground thus constituting a frequent reason for hospitalization in pediatrics. Nebulized epinephrine showed more efficacy than nebulized salbutamol.
