There are about 1320 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Saudi Arabia. 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.
ABSTRACT PURPOSE: To evaluate a new technique of posterior capsulorhexis using air support to treat primary posterior capsular opacification (PCO) during cataract extraction surgery or to prevent post-operative PCO. SETTING: 1-Ophthalmology department, Faculty of medicine, Minia University, El-Minia, Egypt. 2- Security Forces Hospital, Ophthalmology Department, Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. DESIGN: Prospective, randomized case-control comparative study. Methods: 100 eyes of 100 patients with a mean age of 63.3 years with dens cataract. Fifty of them ( group 1) with primary PCO (discovered during the operations) and fifty (group 2) with clear posterior capsule. All cases undergone phacoemulsification, posterior capsulorhexis using the air to support the posterior capsule and separate it from the vitreous (the novel technique will be discussed later). Then IOL implantations wear done in the bag between the anterior and posterior capsular rim. Each patient was evaluated for the following:- visual acuity (UCVA and BCVA), intraocular pressure, intra ocular lens stability, visual axis opacification and posterior segment complications as retinal break, retinal detachment or cystoid macular oedema.
The investigators aim to compare the effect of changing their outer surgical gloves with a new pair of sterile gloves just prior to abdominal closure versus no intervention in the incidence of postoperative wound infections in pregnant women undergoing Caesarean section. The primary outcome is the incidence of any post cesarean wound related complication, including wound seroma, skin separation of at least 1cm, wound infection, or other incisional abnormality requiring treatment within 8 weeks of surgery, while the secondary outcomes are Postoperative fever: defined as greater than 38 degrees Celsius or post cesarean endometritis: defined as a clinical diagnosis, usually involving fever, uterine fundal tenderness, or purulent lochia requiring antibiotic therapy or Combined wound complications and endometritis.
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)
This clinical study investigates the sensation deficit in the lower lip and chin area after surgical correction of lower jaw deformity. The primary null hypothesis is: Lower jaw osteotomy cause no sensory deficit in the inferior alveolar nerve. The secondary null hypothesis is: Concurrent genioplasty with sagittal split does not increase the risk of sensory deficit in the inferior alveolar nerve.
Main Objective The main objective of the study is to investigate the effectiveness of a mobile phone-based intervention in reducing relapse ate among recent quitters who are attending the smoking cessation program in Jazan. Besides this, the study will achieve the following objective: To identify the timing and different factors associated with relapse process among recent quitters during first 6 months of quitting.
Primary Objective: To characterize the patients who receive Dupixent® (dupilumab) for AD in a real-world setting, with respect to their medical history, socio-demographic and disease characteristics, and prior and concomitant treatments of AD Secondary Objectives: - To characterize real-world use patterns of Dupixent® for AD (eg, used regimens, reason for initiation of new treatments, concomitant therapies, treatment durations and reasons for discontinuation and/or switching) - To assess the long-term effectiveness of Dupixent® in AD patients in a real-world setting - To assess comorbid atopic conditions and effects of treatment in comorbid atopic conditions in patients who receive Dupixent® for AD - To collect safety data on study participants
This study will assess the use of risankizumab in adult patients with moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis and compare risankizumab to other commonly used biologics.
This study aimed to develop a new approach for the treatment of fasting induced hypoglycemia during ramadan using mini-dose glucagon.
The TRACK trial is an investigator-initiated, multicentre, prospective, randomised, quadruple-blind (participant, healthcare provider, data collector, outcomes assessor), placebo-controlled trial. TRACK is a global trial and will be conducted in renal units that provide comprehensive CKD care. Approximately 2000 participants will be recruited. The TRACK trial will assess a strategy of administering low dose rivaroxaban to reduce the risk of major adverse cardiac event (MACE) in people with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) stages 4 or 5 or dialysis-dependent kidney failure, and elevated cardiovascular (CV) risk (marked by a history of CAD or PAD, or non-haemorrhagic non-lacunar stroke OR diabetes mellitus OR age ≥65 years).
This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and descriptive efficacy of BIIB017 in pediatric participants with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) and to assess the pharmacokinetics (PK) of BIIB017 in pediatric participants with RRMS in Part 1. In Part 2, the study will evaluate the long-term safety of BIIB017 and further describe safety and the long-term multiple sclerosis (MS) outcomes after BIIB017 treatment in participants who completed the study treatment at Week 96 in Part 1 of the study.
