There are about 3491 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Singapore. 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.
To explore overall response rate of trastuzumab combined with TS-ONE based chemotherapy in first-line HER2-positive advanced gastric cancer.
The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the study drug known as LY3053102 in healthy participants. The study also investigated how much of the study drug entered the blood stream and how long it took the body to dispose of the study drug. Information about any side effects that occurred was also collected. The study was expected to last approximately 8 weeks for each participant (up to 4 weeks from screening to the administration of study drug and an additional 4 weeks of follow up).
The purpose of this study was to allow continued use of nilotinib in patients who were on nilotinib treatment in a Novartis-sponsored, Oncology Clinical Development & Medical Affairs (CD&MA) study and were benefiting from the treatment as judged by the investigator
This study will explore the drug behavior and safety following single doses of tofacitinib modified-release (MR) 11 mg and MR 22 mg in healthy volunteers.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a new type of soft contact lens with a unique optical design (dual focus) is effective at slowing the progression of myopia (near-sightedness) in children.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, tolerability and the pharmacokinetics of BAY1082439
This study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of Rotigotine add-on therapy with low doses of Pramipexole or Ropinirole in patients with advanced-stage Parkinson's Disease (PD) who have insufficient response to L-dopa and low doses dopamine receptor agonists.
Background: Klebsiella pneumoniae liver abscess is the most common etiology of liver abscess in Singapore and much of Asia, and its incidence is increasing. Current management includes prolonged intravenous antibiotic therapy, but there is limited evidence to guide oral conversion. The implicated K1/K2 capsule strain of Klebsiella pneumoniae is almost universally susceptible to ciprofloxacin, an antibiotic with high oral bioavailability. Our primary aim is to compare the efficacy of early (<1 week) step-down to oral antibiotics, to continuing 4 weeks of intravenous antibiotics, in patients with Klebsiella liver abscess. Methods/Design: The study is designed as a multi-centre randomised open-label active comparator-controlled non-inferiority trial, with a non-inferiority margin of 12%. Eligible participants will be inpatients over the age of 21 with a CT or ultrasound scan suggestive of a liver abscess, and Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from abscess fluid or blood. Randomisation into intervention or active control arms will be performed with a 1:1 allocation ratio. Participants randomised to the active control arm will receive IV ceftriaxone 2 grams daily to complete a total of 4 weeks of IV antibiotics. Participants randomised to the intervention arm will be immediately converted to oral ciprofloxacin 750mg twice daily. At week 4, all participants will have abdominal imaging and be assessed for clinical response (CRP <20 mg/l, absence of fever, plus scan showing that the maximal diameter of the abscess has reduced). If criteria are met, antibiotics are stopped; if not, oral antibiotics are continued, with reassessment for clinical response fortnightly. If criteria for clinical response are met by week 12, the primary endpoint of clinical cure is met. A cost analysis will be performed to assess the cost saving of early conversion to oral antibiotics, and a quality-of-life analysis will be performed to assess if treatment with oral antibiotics is less burdensome than prolonged IV antibiotics. Discussion: Our results would help inform local and international practice guidelines regarding the optimal antibiotic management of Klebsiella liver abscess. A finding of non-inferiority may translate to the wider adoption of a more cost-effective strategy that reduces hospital length of stay and improves patient-centered outcomes and satisfaction.
This study is a randomized, multi-center study that will compare the efficacy and safety of selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) using SIR-Spheres microspheres plus a standard chemotherapy regimen of FOLFOX6m versus FOLFOX6m alone as first-line therapy in patients with non-resectable liver metastases from primary colorectal carcinoma. Treatment with the biologic agent bevacizumab, if part of the standard of care at participating institutions, is allowed within this study at the discretion of the Investigator.
Using fMRI, this study will explore the neural correlates of satiety when individuals make decisions about food. The investigators will also examine individual differences in satiety effects.
