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 trial is conducted in Asia, Europe, Japan and North America. The aim of this clinical trial is to investigate the safety and the efficacy of a prophylactic treatment option with long acting coagulation factor VII (LA-rFVIIa) for haemophilia patients with inhibitors.
This study will provide treatment with erlotinib to participants with advanced NSCLC who have received at least one course of standard chemotherapy or radiation therapy, or who are not medically suitable for either. Efficacy and safety will be monitored throughout the study.
This randomised, open label phase III trial will be performed in patients with adenocarcinoma of the lung with tumours harbouring an Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor activating mutation. The objectives of the trial are to compare the efficacy of single agent BIBW 2992, Arm A, with Pemetrexed/Cisplatin chemotherapy, Arm B, as first line treatment for this group of patients.
The study is designed to determine the long term, post trial effects of the two interventions studied in ADVANCE (routine blood pressure lowering with perindopril-indapamide as compared with placebo and intensive gliclazide-MR based glucose control as compared to standard guideline based glucose control) in individuals with type 2 diabetes at high risk of cardiovascular events. The long term, post randomization effects of the two study interventions will be investigated separately as they were for the main trial. This study will clarify and quantify the long-term, post trial (often referred to as legacy) effects of these two interventions in a broader population of patients with type 2 diabetes from high and low to middle income countries, and in the setting of comprehensive cardiovascular risk factor treatment. With the ADVANCE trial infrastructure and surveillance system already in place, the implementation of extended follow-up will be feasible. The conclusions of this follow up study will have profound clinical implications for the care of patients with type 2 diabetes around the world.
To characterize the level of asthma control and patient satisfaction amongst diagnosed asthma sufferers who are currently receiving Symbicort Maintenance and Reliever Therapy (SMART) in Malaysia.
In this study, the investigators address the research question of whether palm olein will have a positive influence on plasma total homocysteine levels in human volunteers provided with high-protein diets formulated from common Malaysian foods. Hypothesis: There is a significant difference on the effects of the three experimental oils (palm olein, olive and coconut oil) on plasma tHy levels and the other markers of coronary heart disease (CHD) risk measured.
This was a randomized, double-blind trial to evaluate deferasirox vs placebo in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (low/int-1 risk) and transfusional iron overload .The trial was conducted in 17 countries, started in 2010 and ended in 2018.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the optimal daily dose and dose regimen of YM150 in subjects with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF), primarily based on safety and tolerability data.
Intestinal parasitic infections, malnutrition and iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) are still considered as public health problems in rural Malaysia especially among Orang Asli children. Despite intermittent control programmes, the prevalence of these problems is still high suggesting the need of other control and interventions measures. This randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was carried out among Orang Asli schoolchildren from Sekolah Kebangsaan Betau in Pos Betau, Pahang (200 km northeast Kuala Lumpur) to investigate the effects of vitamin A supplementation on intestinal parasitic reinfections, growth, iron status and educational achievement. HYPOTHESES 1. Vitamin A supplementation has a negative effect on intestinal parasitic reinfections and the worm burden of infections among Orang Asli schoolchildren in Pos Betau, Kuala Lipis, Pahang. 2. Vitamin A supplementation has a positive effect on growth (weight and height) among Orang Asli schoolchildren. 3. Vitamin A supplementation is effective in improving serum iron status among Orang Asli schoolchildren. 4. Vitamin A supplementation has a positive effect on cognitive function and educational achievement among Orang Asli schoolchildren.
The observation period for each patient covered an initial treatment period with Avelox® plus optional 2 long-term follow-up periods (6 and 12 months).For each patient, the physician documented data at any initial visit (baseline) and at least one short-term follow-up visit (=initial treatment period).Optionally, long-term follow-ups (6 and 12 months) were documented, and a patient questionnaire was filled in.
