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.
This study seeks to determine if erythropoietin alpha (EPO) administered to adult critical care patients with moderate or severe traumatic brain injury improves neurological function assessed at six months after injury.
Trial of sorafenib versus placebo in the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic differentiated thyroid cancer refractory to radioiodine
The purpose of the study is two-fold. In Phase I (Protecta Clinical Study), system performance will be evaluated. In Phase II (PainFree SST), the inappropriate shock-free rate at one year of subjects implanted with a Medtronic Protecta implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) and cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D) will be evaluated.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the AdaptivCRT algorithm is at least as good as manual echo based optimization in regard to patient outcomes and cardiac performance
This observational study is conducted globally. The aim of the study is to investigate the effectiveness and safety of real-life treatment with Norditropin®. The study population will consist of children and adults who are on treatment with Norditropin® in accordance with normal clinical practice.
Efficacy data was not collected or analyzed. This study did assess safety and tolerability of Xalatan.
This study will provide treatment with erlotinib to participants with advanced NSCLC who have received at least one course of standard chemotherapy or radiation therapy, or who are not medically suitable for either. Efficacy and safety will be monitored throughout the study.
PRO-POWER is an observational cohort study for a period of 24 weeks. All recruited patients will have essential hypertension. In addition, the patients will have at least one other contributing risk factor for cardiovascular events. The study aims to evaluate the safety, efficacy and protection of Micardis 80mg/Micardis plus 80/12.5mg from cardiovascular risks in patients with essential hypertension
On a global scale, tuberculosis (TB) is the single most important infectious cause of morbidity and mortality. The World Health Organization has estimated that one-third of the entire world's population carries latent TB infection. A key TB control strategy is therapy of latent TB infection (LTBI). The current standard regimen is 9 months of Isoniazid (9INH). This regimen has excellent efficacy if taken regularly, but its effectiveness is substantially reduced by poor compliance. Serious side effects, such as hepato-toxicity can occur. Three shorter alternatives have been recommended: 6 months INH (6INH), 2 months Rifampin - Pyrazinamide (2RIF-PZA) and 4 months Rifampin (4RIF). The regimen of 6INH is less efficacious than 9INH, while 2RIF-PZA has been largely abandoned because of serious toxicity. Based on some evidence in treatment of LTBI, and extrapolating from extensive experience with treatment of active TB, it is believed that 4RIF has similar efficacy as 9INH. Therefore, the investigators are initiating the first multi-site international randomized trial that will compare the effectiveness of 4RIF and 9INH in preventing active tuberculosis.
For each patient, an initial visit and at least one follow-up visit at the end of treatment should be documented by the treating physician in the case report form.
