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.
Patients who have suffered from stroke may develop problems with thinking. Moreover, such patients have a high risk of becoming demented, more dependent or dying. Therefore, further studies are urgently needed to find effective and safe treatments. Neuroaid is a Traditional Chinese Medicine which has been shown to stimulate growth of brain cells and connections in animals. Neuroaid may improve blood flow in the brain and functional recovery after stroke in patients. Neuroaid-II is a simplified formula with only the main 9 herbal ingredients of the original formula and no animal ingredients. The NEURoaid II (MLC 901) assessment in cognitively Impaired not demented subjects: a pilot double blind, placebo-controlled randomized Trial on Efficacy and Safety (NEURITES) Study is a 24-week, early phase trial of Neuroaid-II in patients who have thinking problems after stroke. The study aims to investigate the effectiveness of the study drug in improving cognitive performance. The safety of the study drug will be closely monitored using adverse events, laboratory tests and vital signs. The trial is important as it aims to set new standards for the scientific evaluation of Asian Traditional Medicine for integration into standard medicine practice. It may potentially establish a novel therapeutic approach for improving cognition after stroke.
This study will identify significant clinical parameters and individual risk factors related to certain prostate disease (BPH, prostatitis and prostate cancer). With the identified important correlations, a locally generated bias free nomogram will be constructed for predicting prostate biopsy outcome among Asian men with indications for prostate biopsy. While this study will evaluate the accuracy and predictive value of this novel prostate disease nomogram.
This study will evaluate whether low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C) lowering with evolocumab (AMG 145) results in greater change from baseline in percent atheroma volume (PAV) at week 78 than placebo in adults with coronary artery disease taking lipid lowering therapy.
This carriage study aims to evaluate the presence of meningococcus in Asian populations (and potential for disease) and explore the extent and serogroup distribution of meningococci circulating in the population.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effects of Ceftazidime-Avibactam compared to Meropenem for treating hospitalized adults with nosocomial pneumonia including ventilator-associated pneumonia
To demonstrate that as adjunctive therapy to intravenous (IV) antibiotics, BAY 41-6551 400 mg (amikacin as free base) administered as an aerosol by the Pulmonary Drug Delivery System (PDDS) Clinical every 12 hours is safe and more effective than placebo (aerosolized normal saline) administered as an aerosol by the PDDS Clinical every 12 hours, in intubated and mechanically-ventilated patients with Gram-negative Pneumonia. The secondary endpoint objectives are to evaluate the superiority of aerosolized BAY 41-6551 versus aerosolized placebo in pneumonia-related mortality, the Early Clinical Response at Day 10, the days on ventilation, and the days in the intensive care unit (ICU).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of fentanyl among Filipino participants with osteoarthritis (disorder which is seen mostly in older persons in which the joints become painful and stiff) and chronic (lasting a long time) low back pain.
Evaluate linagliptin in terms of glycemic control as defined by HbA1c after 24 weeks of treatment and in terms of renal efficacy as defined by changes in albuminuria (UACR) after 24 weeks of treatment.
This study will assess the efficacy and safety of multiple doses of LCZ696 compared to olmesartan in Asian patients with essential hypertension
Up to one-third of common warts can remain recalcitrant, an occurrence that has been attributed to impaired cell-mediated immunity. At present, no guidelines exist for the management of recalcitrant cutaneous warts. Zinc, a well-established immunomodulatory agent, has shown promise in this regard. Previous studies documenting the efficacy of oral zinc used zinc sulfate given at a maximum dose of 600 mg/day, equivalent to 140 mg of elemental zinc, which is over three times the recommended upper limit of 40 mg of elemental zinc per day. This raises concerns over safety and tolerability. In the Philippines, oral zinc is more widely available in chelated forms such as zinc gluconate, which have the benefit of improved absorption compared to non-chelated compounds such as zinc sulfate. This study will seek to determine if zinc gluconate 300 mg/day, equivalent to 40 mg of elemental zinc, will be efficacious in treating recalcitrant cutaneous warts. This lowered dose may have the added benefits of increased safety, tolerability, and cost-effectiveness.
