There are about 1249 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Philippines. 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.
Prospective Randomized double-blind controlled trial comparing the healing rate, infection rate, pain score, ease of care and scar formation of Banana leaf dressing versus hydrocolloid dressing.
This randomized, open-label, phase III study will be performed in patients with recurrent and/or metastatic head and neck cancer which has progressed after platinum-based therapy. The objectives of this trial are to compare the efficacy and safety of afatinib versus methotrexate.
New approaches are needed to achieve more rapid elimination of dormant mycobacteria and thereby shorten treatment for drug-sensitive and drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB). Dormant mycobacteria are relatively resistant to antibacterial drugs and approaches that enhance immune clearance have the potential to be more effective. Interleukin-4 (IL-4) is a key cytokine in the immune response to TB that may impair the clearance of mycobacteria. We hypothesize that pascolizumab, an anti-IL-4 monoclonal antibody, might be of value as an adjunct to standard treatment. The aims of this trial are to determine whether administration of pascolizumab as an adjunct to standard combination treatment for drug-sensitive TB produces changes in one or more parameters of bacterial or host response (including bacterial clearance, host clinical status, immune response, bacterial and host transcriptomics, lung imaging) that may indicate potential for enhanced sterilization and to confirm the safety of blocking IL-4 (previously demonstrated in healthy volunteers and patients with asthma) in patients with TB.
This is a prospective, randomized, open label, parallel-group, multicenter phase III study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of active specific immunotherapy with racotumomab plus best supportive care versus best supportive care in patients with advanced NSCLC who have achieved an Objective Response (Partial or Complete Response) or Stable Disease with standard first-line treatment. Also immunological parameters will be evaluated. Best supportive therapy will be administered to all patients in the study according to institutional standards and includes any subsequent onco-specific therapies. 1082 patients will be included in the study, with non-small cell lung cancer in stages IIIA (non-resectable), IIIB or IV.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the benefit of panitumumab in addition to best supportive care compared to best supportive care alone in patients with chemorefractory wild-type KRAS (Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog) metastatic colorectal cancer.
This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, two-arm study will assess the safety and efficacy of pertuzumab in addition to chemotherapy plus trastuzumab as adjuvant therapy in participants with operable HER2-positive primary breast cancer. This study will be carried out in collaboration with the Breast International Group (BIG).
The primary objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of SIRT as compared with Sorafenib in patients with locally advanced liver cancer in terms of overall survival (OS). The Study null hypothesis is, there is no difference in overall survival between patients receiving SIRT and those receiving Sorafenib therapy.
Through this study, the investigators are to prove that Cilostazol effectively prevent cardiovascular events in ischemic stroke patients with high risk of cerebral hemorrhage, along with no significant increase in the risk of occurrence of hemorrhagic side effects. The primary hypothesis of this study is; Cilostazol alone or with probucol will reduce the risk of cerebral hemorrhage without increase of cardiovascular events compared to aspirin in the ischemic stroke patients with symptomatic or asymptomatic old cerebral hemorrhage. This study will prove the superiority of cilostazol on the prevention of cerebral hemorrhagic events without increasing the cardiovascular events against aspirin and the superiority of probucol on the prevention of overall cardiovascular events.
The research study is testing the investigational drug necitumumab (IMC-11F8) in the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer. The aim of this study is to determine if necitumumab, given together with a standard chemotherapy combination consisting of cisplatin and gemcitabine will be more effective in improving participant disease than the standard chemotherapy combination alone.
The aim of the study is to improve the loco-regional control rate and overall survival of locally advanced head and neck squamous carcinoma (HNSCC). The investigators hypothesize that the addition of nimotuzumab (a recombinant humanized murine immune antibody that blocks both epidermal growth factor (EGF) and transforming growth factor (TGF)) to the current gold standard of concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) (7)(8), an adjuvant setting in patients after resection of their locally advanced HNSCC will confer therapeutic advantage.
