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.
This is a randomized, multicenter, open-label, Phase 3 study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Acalabrutinib versus Chlorambucil plus Rituximab in subjects with Previously Untreated Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia.
This clinical study was designed to support the dose selection for future studies by evaluating efficacy and safety of different QBW251 doses in Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients with chronic bronchitis and a history of exacerbations, compared to placebo, when added to a triple inhaled therapy of LABA, LAMA and ICS.
Phase 3 study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a benralizumab in patients with moderate to very severe COPD with a history of frequent COPD exacerbations and elevated peripheral blood eosinophils (≥300/μL). Eligible patients must have a history of ≥2 moderate and/or severe COPD exacerbations in the previous year despite receiving triple (ICS/LABA/LAMA) background therapy for at least 3 months and ICS-based dual inhaled treatment for the remainder of the year. Eligible patients must also have an elevated blood eosinophil count. The treatment period will be of variable duration and will continue until the last patient has the opportunity to complete a minimum of 56 weeks, at which point all patients will complete the study. The primary endpoint will be analyzed at Week 56.
The purpose of the study is to collect information on how Ryzodeg® works in real world patients and to see if Ryzodeg® can lower blood sugar levels. Participants will get Ryzodeg® as prescribed to them by their doctor. The study will last for about 6 to 9 months. Participants will be asked questions about their health and their diabetes treatment as part of their normal doctor's appointment.
The reason for the study is to find out if an experimental combination of an oral medication called osimertinib (TAGRISSO®) when used in combination with chemotherapy is more effective than giving osimertinib alone for the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer. Some lung cancers are due to mutations in the Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) which, if known, can help physicians decide the best treatment for their patients. One type of mutation can occur in the gene that produces a protein on the surface of cells called the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR). Osimertinib is an Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) that targets Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) mutations. Unfortunately, despite the benefit observed for patients treated with osimertinib, the vast majority of cancers are expected to develop resistance to the drug over time. The exact reasons why resistance develops are not fully understood but based upon clinical research it is hoped that combining osimertinib with another type of anti-cancer therapy known as chemotherapy will delay the onset of resistance and the worsening of a patient's cancer. In total the study aims to enroll approximately 586 patients, consisting of approximately 30 patients who will participate in a safety run-in component of the trial, and approximately 556 who will receive osimertinib alone or osimertinib in combination with chemotherapy in the main trial. In the main part of the trial there is a one in two chance of receiving osimertinib alone, and the treatment is decided at random by a computer. The study involves a Screening Period, Treatment Period, and Follow up Period. Whilst receiving study medication, it is expected patients will attend, on average, approximately 15 visits over the first 12 months and then approximately 4 visits per year afterwards. Each visit will last about 2 to 6 hours depending on the arrangement of medical assessments by the study centre.
This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of ertugliflozin (MK-8835) in pediatric participants with T2DM on metformin with/without insulin. The primary hypothesis of the study is that the addition of ertugliflozin reduces hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C) more than the addition of placebo after 24 weeks of treatment.
Gastroesophageal reflux disease is a commonly encountered disorder in daily practice. Proton pump inhibitor therapy has been the cornerstone of treatment for decades. Although it has been proven to be highly effective, there is still room for improvement. A local study showed that only 57.3% of subjects are asymptomatic after 4 weeks treatment with rabeprazole. Recently a new drug was developed with better absorption, higher bioavailability, more sustained increased pH in the stomach and more targeted action to the H-K ATPase pump. Vonoprazan, belongs to a new class of acid suppressant medications, the potassium-competitive acid blocker (P-CAB). Vonoprazan has been studied and used successfully in Japan for H pylori eradication therapy, GERD, gastric and duodenal ulcers with favorable safety profile. However, to the author's knowledge, no study yet exists comparing vonoprazan to a proton pump inhibitor in the treatment of GERD outside Japan. This study aims to determine whether vonoprazan is superior to omeprazole in relieving symptoms in treatment-naïve adult patients with GERD.
Tinea pedis or athlete's foot is the most common fungal infection worldwide, caused by infection of the feet with dermatophytes such as Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton interdigitale (formerly Trichophyton mentagrophytes), and Epidermophyton floccosum. Diagnosis of tinea pedia involves clinical symptoms as well as microscopic examination. Topical therapies are usually applied once or twice daily for as long as 4 weeks, posing a challenge to compliance. The current study aims to test a formulation of the single-dose 1% terbinafine hydrochloride, as well as a single-dose 1% butenafine hydrochloride, versus a vehicle control in adult Filipino patients with athlete's foot. This study will benefit the Filipino community by helping us determine which anti-fungal cream is most effective for athlete's foot.
Phase III Study of Capivasertib + Paclitaxel versus Placebo + Paclitaxel as First line Treatment for Patients with Locally Advanced or Metastatic Triple-negative Breast Cancer (TNBC)
Poor mental health is getting more common in low- and middle-income countries than in high-income countries due to lack of available resources and access to health services. In these countries, there is a large treatment gap for mental health care, with the majority of people with mental disorders receiving no or inadequate care. Depression, for instance, is one of the most common mental disorders and it affects physical health, social activities, and quality of life of senior citizens. Despite being a commonly studied mental disorder, very little is known about depression interventions conducted in low resource settings. Recently, Filipinos' mental illness has been increasing and it affects around 10-15% of children and 17-20% of adults. Their major symptoms include excessive sadness, delusion, confusion, and forgetfulness. Additionally, more Filipino senior citizens are committing suicide due to depression. This is associated with their inability to adapt to rapid social and economic developments. In this study, the investigators aimed to assess the efficacy of 3-month-duration interventions with peer counseling, social engagement, and combined intervention vs. control in improving depressive symptoms among community-dwelling Filipino senior citizens.
