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 purpose of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of the antibiotic tigecycline with other antibiotics, ampicillin-sulbactam, and amoxicillin-clavulanate in the treatment of a complicated skin and/or skin structure infection (cSSSI).
This is a Phase III trial designed to demonstrate that casopitant (GW679769) plus dexamethasone and ondansetron is more effective in the prevention of vomiting than dexamethasone and ondansetron alone following the administration of moderately emetogenic chemotherapy.
To determine if ZD6474 a new investigational drug, is effective in treating Non Small Lung Cancer and if so, how it compares with another type of anti cancer therapy chemotherapy, Erlotinib
Meningococcal disease is mostly caused by N. meningitidis of serogroups A, B, C, W-135, Y. Meningococcal polysaccharide-conjugate vaccines have the advantage to induce a T-cell dependant immune response while the existing polysaccharide vaccines induce a T-cell independent response, i.e. with no immune memory response. GSK Biologicals has developed a combined Men ACWY conjugate vaccine intended to protect against meningococcal disease due to serogroups A, C, W-135 and Y. In the vaccination phase of this study, the new MenACWY-TT conjugate vaccine will be evaluated in adolescents and adults using Mencevax™ ACWY as control. In the long-term follow-up phase (extension phase) of the study, the long-term protection offered by the new MenACWY-TT conjugate vaccine will be assessed up to five years after the vaccination in adolescents and adults using Mencevax™ ACWY as control. This protocol posting deals with objectives & outcome measures of both the primary & extension phases.
The purpose of the study is to assess the survival of patients treated with Litx™ versus standard of care therapies in the treatment of unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and to demonstrate the safety of Litx™ therapy. Litx™ consists of a light-activated drug, talaporfin sodium (LS11, Light Sciences Oncology, Bellevue, Washington), and a light generating device, composed of light-emitting diodes (LEDs), that is energized by a power controller and percutaneously placed in the target tissue inside the body.
The purpose of this clinical research study is to learn if BMS-582664 can shrink or slow the growth of advanced liver cancer. The safety of this treatment will also be studied.
GSK has submitted a registration file for its live attenuated oral human rotavirus (HRV) vaccine in several countries. In view of its registration in the Philippines, the present study will collect data on the safety of the vaccine in the local target population as per the Bureau of Food and Drugs Directive.
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of quetiapine fumarate sustained release (Seroquel SR) in the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder. PLEASE NOTE: Seroquel SR and Seroquel XR refer to the same formulation. The SR designation was changed to XR after consultation with FDA.
This is a study to compare the safety and immune response of a pentavalent DTaP-HB-PRP~T combined vaccine with Tritanrix-HepB/Hib™, when both are given concomitantly with OPV at 6, 10, and 14 weeks of age.
Rosiglitazone (RSG) has been tested in clinical studies and is approved by the FDA as a treatment for type II diabetes mellitus, a disease that occurs when the body is unable to effectively use glucose. RSG XR, the investigational drug used in this study, is an extended-release form of RSG. This study tests whether RSG XR safely provides clinical benefit to people with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease (AD) when combined with one of the currently approved AD medications, Aricept®, Razadyne® or Exelon®. RSG XR is a new approach to AD therapy and this study tests a new way to treat AD by testing whether one's genetic makeup affects the response to the study drug. Clinical data suggesting that RSG may benefit AD patients was first seen in a small study performed at the University of Washington and then from a larger GSK study conducted in Europe and New Zealand. In the first study, subjects receiving RSG once daily for 6 months scored significantly better on 3 tests of memory and thought than those who did not receive RSG. In the GSK study, those that appeared to benefit most from treatment with RSG XR had a specific genetic pattern. They did not have the gene that caused them to produce the protein apolipoprotein E e4 (APOE e4). Subjects who have the APOE e4 gene may have two copies, one from each parent, or they may have only one APOE e4 gene meaning that they inherited either the APOE e2 or APOE e3 version of the gene, instead of APOE e4, from one of their parents. Subjects with one copy of the APOE e4 gene remained at their same level of thinking ability while those with two copies of the APOE e4 gene, continued to worsen during the 6-month treatment. The current study will more directly test the effectiveness or RSG XR on people who either have or lack the APOE e4 gene.
