There are about 1292 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 looks at how a mobile based app called 'Dose Check' used along with Tresiba helps to control blood sugar level in participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Participants will get Tresiba as prescribed by the study doctor or participants will continue already prescribed treatment with Tresiba. Participants will also be prescribed to use Dose Check app by the study doctor and will be asked to install the Dose Check app in their mobile phone, which will support participants with the correct dose of Tresiba. This study will last for about 6 to 7 months.
This will be a study to examine the outcomes of open, laparoscopic, and robotic Living Donor Liver Transplantation (LDLT) procedures. The analysis will encompass 3,448 cases (1,724 donor-recipient pairs) from January 2011 to March 2023, documenting the transition between these surgical techniques, with a noted crossover in 2018.
The purpose of this observational study is to measure how many people are overweight or obese amongst patients with a diagnosed cardiovascular disease (CVD). The study also aims to characterise the population including the presence of cardiovascular (CV) risk factors in a number of countries across the globe representing different geographies, ethnicities, as well as different healthcare systems.
In this study, the general long-term safety and effectiveness of Sogroya (somapacitan) in adults with growth hormone deficiency (AGHD) being treated per normal clinical practice is looked into. In the study, information on side effects and how well Sogroya (somapacitan) works during long term treatment in people with Adult Growth Hormone Deficiency (AGHD) will be collected and analysed. Participants will be treated with Sogroya (somapacitan) as prescribed by the study doctor, in accordance with normal clinical practice. The study will last for 5-10 years, depending on when the participant join the study. The participant will be asked to complete two short questionnaires during every visit to the clinic. The questionnaires will collect information on the participant's well-being, work ability and ability to perform daily activities.
Since the discovery of SGLT2 inhibitors, there is a great shift in diabetic treatment, so this drug is magic, this drug can reduce the blood sugar level by blocking the reabsorption of glucose in the kidney and increasing glucose excretion the first discovery by Josef von Mering who discovered the glucosuric effect of phlorizin. Phlorizin is the progenitor of contemporary SGLT2 inhibitors, the FDA did not consider the work of Baron Josef von Mering, since he had already discovered acidosis following the administration of phlorizin in 1888. Now SGLT2 inhibitors are used widely and even for heart failure without diabetes as this drug is useful and with lower risk of death from observational studies The 2008 FDA guidance had a major impact on the cardiovascular (CV) risk assessment of recently approved antidiabetic drugs, many trials were done on SGLT2 inhibitors like the EMPA-REG OUTCOME trial, the CANVAS trial program, MACE these groups have CVS benefits and also renal benefits as regards, we suspect long-term benefits and immunity aspect these groups play an important role in cancer incidence from meta-analysis and systematic review, suggests that SGLT2 inhibition results in a reduction of inflammatory markers like interleukin-6 in animal models, further validating the suggested anti-inflammatory mechanism of action.
Day case laparoscopic cholecystectomy can be made with conventional diathermy hook starting at triangle of Calot´s. 5mm suction irrigation blunt dissection starting from the gallbladder fundus is another option. The aim is to test the hypothesis that with 5mm suction irrigation blunt dissection technique a better same day discharge and a shorter operative time can be achieved.
vaccines for covid-19 are gold strategy and great achievement at this century for protection against complications of covid-19 , development of many vaccines with different technology represent a big challenge for this disease so the world live bad days and the vaccines save world to see the light once again , mRNA based vaccines have a new technology which designed before for cancer therapy, this technology is very effective , producible and fast for future disease targets but these vaccine must contain excipients for preservation of this technology mRNA so we now study these side effects of excipients and we suspect that polyethylene glycol as excipients have big role at hypoglycemic effects with antidiabetic medications like metformin and insulin especially at children and older age

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID 19) is primarily a respiratory viral infection. At the time of writing this protocol, more than 25 million people have been affected globally. Of these, more than 850000 have died directly due to the disease. In the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, there are as of now over 30000 cases and deaths from COVID 19. This has been declared as a Pandemic by WHO and has brought normal life to a standstill. There are many uncertainties regarding the pathophysiology and clinical course of this disease. It is estimated that 80 percent of those infected will not need special care. However, 1 in 5 (20%) patients will require hospitalization. Of these, typically, 5 percent will be critically ill and ventilated. Of those ventilated, 20 to 60 percent will die. However, this can vary from country to country due to various reasons. For example, in one study, 71.6% were hospitalized in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and 4.6% were admitted to intensive care. The rest of those who are hospitalized (95%), are at risk of having long term sequelae. From the SARS CoV infection data, 50 per cent had changes consistent with inflammatory lung disease at 4 weeks, and at 15 years, 4.6% (SD 6.4%) had pulmonary fibrosis. Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) had typical lower lobe fibrotic changes in more than one-third of the patients. SARS CoV2 virus shares 79.5% sequence identity with SARS CoV and 50% with MERS CoV. The SARS CoV2 may also have similarities in the inflammatory response; emerging data shows that COVID 19 patients also have new interstitial lung disease changes and thromboembolic disease. These patients may have long term physiological disability such as exertional hypoxia, breathlessness, reduction in static and dynamic lung volumes and diffusion factors. There is currently no data available to predict who is at risk of developing long term chronic thromboembolic disease and interstitial lung disease. More importantly, there are no data available on the pathological changes of inflammatory lung disease. Pathologically classifying the disease may have a significant impact on the choice of the treatment for these patients who otherwise have the potential to be disabled lifelong. With appropriate phenotyping, appropriate risk reduction strategies and targeted therapies can be considered. Furthermore, studying biomarkers that could potentially identify those at-risk patients from very early on can provide an opportunity to start on the treatment very early on in the natural course of the disease history.
