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.
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy given before surgery of soft tissue sarcoma decreases the size of the tumor mass and the presence of malignant cells in its peripheral region. NBTXR3 and radiation therapy may kill more cancer cells and increase the tumor shrinkage rendering surgery more feasible or easier and achieve better local control of the tumor. PURPOSE: This phase II/III is a prospective randomized, multi-center, open-label and active controlled two arms study in patients with locally advanced soft tissue sarcoma (STS) of the extremity and trunk wall. Patients will be randomized to receive either NBTXR3 as intratumor injection, activated by external beam radiation therapy or external beam radiation therapy alone, as preoperative treatment. Once the radiotherapy treatment is completed, tumor surgery will be performed in all patients.
Globally, cervical cancer is the second most common cancer for women and kills approximately 250,000 women every year, with the annual number of deaths expected to increase to 410,000 by 2030. The majority (88%) of these deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) where screening and prevention services are limited. Prevention of cervical cancer by identification and treatment of cervical cancer precursors is key, since treatment resources for invasive disease are scarce. A cervical cancer screening program cannot be effective unless it is linked with a proven intervention to prevent the development of cervical cancer. The World Health Organization (WHO) recently released the WHO guidelines for screening and treatment of precancerous lesions for cervical cancer prevention, which recommends a screen-and-treat approach for cervical cancer prevention, with cryotherapy being the first choice of treatment for women who have a positive screen. However, these programs are still slow to be implemented in part due to the current high cost and low efficiency of cryotherapy equipment that is often prone to breaking. Jhpiego, an affiliate of Johns Hopkins University, has developed a new cryotherapy device, CryoPop, that is one tenth the cost of current equipment while also ten times more efficient. Once proven safe, feasible and effective, CryoPop could save tens of thousands of lives in low- and middle-income countries each year by preventing cervical cancer.
This is a multinational, double-blind, randomized, parallel-group Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of bevacizumab-Pfizer plus paclitaxel and carboplatin versus bevacizumab-EU plus paclitaxel and carboplatin in first-line treatment for patients with advanced (unresectable, locally advanced, recurrent or metastatic) non-squamous NSCLC.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of a combination of moxifloxacin, PA-824, and pyrazinamide treatments with varying doses and treatment lengths from 4 to 6 months in subjects with drug-sensitive (DS) pulmonary TB compared to standard HRZE treatment. This study will also assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of a combination of moxifloxacin, PA-824, and pyrazinamide treatments after 6 months of treatment in subjects with multi drug-resistant (MDR) pulmonary TB compared to a combination of moxifloxacin, PA-824, and pyrazinamide treatments in DS-TB subjects.
This is an open-label, randomized, parallel group Phase 2A/2B study to evaluate the clinical activity of ASLAN001 in combination with capecitabine compared with lapatinib in combination with capecitabine in patients with HER2 positive metastatic breast cancer that has failed on prior trastuzumab therapy.
The purpose of this study is to investigate if early administration (i.e. within 12 weeks after stroke) of Dysport® 500 U injections may delay the appearance or the progression of upper limb symptomatic spasticity.
The primary objective of the study is to investigate the safety and tolerability of ALX-0171. The secondary objectives are to evaluate the clinical effect of ALX-0171 and to explore the pharmacodynamics (PD) and the systemic pharmacokinetics (PK) of ALX-0171.
This study is conducted globally. The aim of this study is to describe the proportion of patients with hypoglycaemic episodes and estimate the incidence of various types of hypoglycaemia in the retrospective and prospective periods.
The purpose of the study was to assess the use of Multikinase Inhibitors (MKIs) in the treatment of patients with a progressive differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) refractory to radioactive iodine (RAI) who do not have any symptoms.
The purpose of this study is to assess the humoral immune responses to three different dose schedules of Takeda's Tetravalent Dengue Vaccine Candidate (TDV) administered subcutaneously in healthy participants between 2 and <18 years of age living in dengue endemic countries.
