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.
The randomized 2x2x2 factorial design placebo controlled trial will enroll 5000 participants (women 60 years or older and men 55 years or older) without known heart disease or prior stroke and without a clear indication or contraindication to any of the study medications. Eligible and consenting individuals will be randomized to receive either the active study medications or placebo (dummy pills) and will be monitored for an average of 5 years. The study will include people from at 10 countries, will be conducted by an international group of scientists and physicians and will be coordinated by the Population Health Research Institute at Hamilton Health Sciences.
To Evaluate the Effects of Ceftazidime-Avibactam and Best Available Therapy in patients with complicated urinary tract infections and complicated intra-abdominal infections.
This multicenter, randomized, adaptive Phase II/III study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) compared to standard taxane (docetaxel or paclitaxel) treatment in participants with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive advanced gastric cancer. At the start of the trial (stage 1), participants will be randomized with a ratio 2:2:1 to one of three treatment arms: Arm A: trastuzumab emtansine 3.6 milligram per kilogram (mg/kg) per intravenous injection (IV) every 3 weeks; Arm B: trastuzumab emtansine 2.4 mg/kg IV every week; Arm C: standard taxane therapy (docetaxel 75 milligram per meter square [mg/m^2] IV every 3 weeks or paclitaxel 80 mg/m^2 kg IV every week per investigator choice). At the end of the first stage of the study, the dose and schedule of trastuzumab emtansine that will be used in the second stage of the study will be selected by an Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC). The regimen selection analysis will be made after approximately 100 participants across all three study arms have been treated for at least 12 weeks. Once a trastuzumab emtansine regimen has been selected, Stage I participants who were assigned to the treatment arm which was selected for Stage II of the study and participants who were in the standard taxane group will continue to receive their assigned treatment regimen. Stage I participants who were assigned to the regimen that was not selected for further evaluation will continue to receive their assigned regimen and will continue to be followed for efficacy and safety. In Stage II of the study, additional participants will be recruited and randomized with a ratio 2:1 to either the selected regimen of trastuzumab emtansine or to the standard taxane therapy. Participants will receive study treatment until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, initiation of another cancer therapy or withdrawal.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of belimumab in adult patients with active lupus nephritis.
To evaluate efficacy and safety of a combined oral contraceptive of estradiol valerate and dienogest in the treatment of heavy menstrual bleeding
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 24-week, phase III multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study. The study will have 9 scheduled visits and a telephone contact Follow-up visit one week following the end of study treatment. The study primary endpoint is -Clinic visit trough (pre-bronchodilator and pre-dose) FEV1 on Treatment Day 169 Trough FEV1 on Treatment Day 169 is defined as the mean of the FEV1 values obtained 23 and 24 hours after dosing on Treatment Day 168 (i.e. at the Week 24 visit). Secondary endpoints are; - Mean TDI focal score at Week 24 - Weighted mean clinic visit FEV1 over 0 to 6 hours post-dose at Visit 2 (Day 1) Eligible subjects will be randomised to GSK573719/GW642444 125/25mcg, GSK573719/GW642444 62.5/25mcg and placebo treatment groups in a 1:1:1 ratio such that of the planned 573 total number of randomised subjects, approximately 191 subjects will be randomised to each active treatment group and 191 subjects will be randomised to placebo. All treatments will be administered once daily in the morning by inhalation using a Novel Dry Powder Inhaler (NDPI). There will be a total of 9 study clinic visits conducted on an outpatient basis. Subjects who meet the eligibility criteria at Screening (Visit.1) will complete a 7 to 14 day Run-In period followed by a 24-week Treatment period. Clinic visits will be at screening, Randomisation (Day1), Day2, after 4, 8, 12, 16, and 24-weeks of treatment, and 1 day after the Week 24 Visit (also referred as Treatment Day 169). A Follow-Up contact for adverse event assessment will be conducted by telephone approximately 7 days after Visit 9 or the Early Withdrawal Visit. The total duration of subject participation, including Follow-up will be approximately 27 weeks. All subjects will be provided with albuterol/salbutamol for use on an "as-needed" basis throughout the Run-In and Study Treatment Periods. At screening, pre-bronchodilator spirometry will be performed followed by post-albuterol/salbutamol spirometry testing. Post-albuterol/salbutamol FEV1 and FEV1/FVC values will be used to determine subject eligibility. To further characterise bronchodilator responsiveness, post ipratropium testing will be conducted following completion of post-albuterol/salbutamol spirometry. Spirometry will be conducted at each post-randomisation clinic visit. Six hour post-dose serial spirometry will be conducted at Visit 2. Trough spirometry will be obtained 23 and 24 hours after the previous day's dose of blinded study medication at Visits 3 to 9. Assessments of dyspnea will be obtained using the Baseline and Transition Dyspnoea Index (BDI/TDI) which is an interviewer based instrument. At Visit 2, the severity of dyspnoea at baseline will be assessed using the BDI. At subsequent visits (Visits 4, 6, and 8) change from baseline will be assessed using the TDI. Administration of the BDI and TDI should be done prior to spirometry and any other study-related procedures Disease specific health status will be evaluated using the St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) and COPD Assessment Test (CAT), at baseline (Visit 2) and Visits 4, 6 and 8. The occurrence of adverse events will be evaluated throughout the study beginning at Visit 2. SAEs will be collected over the same time period as for AEs. However, any SAEs assessed as related to study participation (e.g., study treatment, protocol-mandated procedures, invasive tests, or change in existing therapy) or related to a GSK concomitant medication, will be recorded from the time a subject consents to participate in the study up to and including any follow up contact. Vital signs (blood pressure and pulse rate), 12-lead ECGs and standard clinical laboratory tests (hematology and blood biochemistry) will be obtained at selected clinic visits. For determination of subject disposition, subjects will be considered to have completed the study, upon completion of Visit 9. There is no plan to provide any of the active study treatments for compassionate use following study completion. The Intent-to-Treat (ITT) population will be the primary population of interest, and is defined as all randomised subjects who have received at least one dose of the randomised study medication during the Treatment Period. Supplementary study conduct information not mandated to be present in this protocol is provided in the accompanying Study Procedures Manual (SPM). The SPM will provide the site personnel with administrative and detailed technical information that does not impact subject safety.
The primary objective of this trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of two doses of tiotropium inhalation solution delivered via the Respimat® inhaler once daily in the afternoon in patients (1 to 5 years old) with persistent asthma on top of inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) treatment.
The ASIAN HF Registry is the first prospective multinational Asian registry of patients with symptomatic HF (stage C) including both HFrEF (ejection fraction <40%) and HFpEF (ejection fraction ≥50%), with the broad purpose of determining the mortality (incidence) burden of HF in Asian patients, and more specifically to define the burden and risk factors of Sudden Cardiac Deaths (SCD), as well as the sociocultural barriers to preventive device therapy. The study further aim to study the genetic variants associated with HFrEF versus HFpEF in our large Asian cohort. This proposed registry is expected to advance fundamental understanding of the burden and predictors of preventable death among Asian patients with HF. The knowledge gained will be critical for guiding resource allocation and planning preventive strategies to address the unmet and growing clinical needs of patients with cardiovascular disease in Asia.
