There are about 2118 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Malaysia. 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.
This multi-center, open-label, randomized study will evaluate the participant preference with subcutaneous versus intravenous administration of MabThera/Rituxan (rituximab) in participants with CD20+ diffuse large B-cell lymphoma or CD20+ follicular non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. In Arm A, participants will receive MabThera/Rituxan 375 mg/m2 intravenously (IV) on Day 1 of Cycle 1 and MabThera/Rituxan 1400 mg subcutaneously (SC) on Day 1 of Cycles 2-4, followed by MabThera/Rituxan IV in Cycles 5-8. Participants in Arm B will receive MabThera/Rituxan IV in Cycles 1-4 and SC in Cycles 5-8. All participants will receive 6-8 cycles of standard chemotherapy (according to local country practice) with 8 cycles of MabThera/Rituxan. Anticipated time on study treatment is up to 24 weeks.
This study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of Rotigotine add-on therapy with low doses of Pramipexole or Ropinirole in patients with advanced-stage Parkinson's Disease (PD) who have insufficient response to L-dopa and low doses dopamine receptor agonists.
This trial is conducted globally. The aim of the trial is to evaluate cardiovascular and other long-term outcomes with semaglutide in subjects with type 2 diabetes. The trial is event-driven, i.e. the maximum trial duration (up to max. 148 weeks) will depend on the accrual of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in this trial and the remaining research programme. The incidence of MACE will be monitored throughout the trial which will be terminated according to plan when pre-specified stopping criteria are met.
A double-blinded randomised control trial conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology of a tertiary hospital, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Medical Centre (UKMMC) for two years duration from January 1st, 2012 till December 31st, 2013. The aim of the study is to compare the haemodynamic and cardiovascular effects between intravenous carbetocin 100 μg and intravenous oxytocin 5 IU in women undergoing elective Lower Segment Caesarean Section (EL LSCS). Study hypothesis: A single injection of carbetocin is haemodynamically and cardiovascularly safe and has similar efficacy in comparison to a single injection of oxytocin.
This study will investigate the efficacy and safety of two doses (high and low) of empagliflozin in combination with metformin (500 mg and 1000 mg) administered twice daily in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Study will compare four dose combinations of empagliflozin + metformin versus each individual component after 24 weeks of treatment.
This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group, multicenter study will evaluate the potential of aleglitazar to reduce cardiovascular risk in patients with stable cardiovascular disease and glucose abnormalities. Patients will be randomized 1:1 to receive either aleglitazar 150 mcg orally daily or matching placebo.
The purpose of this study is to determine if newly diagnosed (within previous 3 months) participants with metastatic (spread of cancer cells from one part of the body to another ) hormone-naive prostate cancer (mHNPC) who have high-risk prognostic factors will benefit from the addition of abiraterone acetate plus low-dose prednisone to androgen deprivation therapy (ADT; lutenizing hormone releasing hormone [LHRH] agonists or surgical castration).
Introduction: Schizophrenia is a serious mental illness. For majority of patients it is a lifetime condition,characterized by intermittent episodes of hospitalization due to relapse or acute symptom exacerbation. The nature and course of the disorder impose significant social and economic burden. Relapse is costly, with hospitalization accounting for a substantial portion of healthcare expenses. Second generation antipsychotic side effect such as metabolic syndrome and diabetes mellitus will contribute additional costs to the treatment. Many studies have since then provided convincing evidence for a high risk of diabetes and other glucose abnormalities, metabolic syndrome and mortality due to elevated cardiovascular risk in patients with schizophrenia. However many studies has shown the effectiveness and safety of aripiprazole and ziprazidone.In one of the study, aripiprazole showed improvement of negative schizophrenic symptoms by 25% and 50% of functioning level from baseline. In term of safety, antipsychotics considered to have a safer metabolic profile were amisulpride, ziprasidone and aripiprazole. Study objectives: - To investigate the safety and efficacy of ziprazidone versus aripiprazole in the treatment of schizophrenia patients with metabolic syndrome and diabetes mellitus. - To investigate the reversibility of metabolic syndrome and diabetes parameters following the treatment with ziprazidone versus aripiprazole. Hypotheses: * The proportion of reversibility of metabolic syndrome and diabetes parameters is higher following the treatment of ziprazidone than aripiprazole.
The study hypothesis under test is that administration of a CCR2/5 antagonist to subjects with type 2 diabetes and overt nephropathy will result in a reduction in urinary albumin, a surrogate for improved glomerular filtration.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and feasibility of switching subjects with advanced Parkinson's Disease (PD) from Pramipexole or Ropinirole to Rotigotine and to assess the effects of Rotigotine on motor and non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's Disease in subjects switched from previous treatment with either Pramipexole or Ropinirole.
