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.
This open-label study will assess the safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetics of RO5323441 in combination with sorafenib in patients with advanced or metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma previously untreated with systemic therapy. In the dose-finding Part I, cohorts of patients will receive escalating doses of RO5323441 intravenously (iv) every 2 weeks in combination with sorafenib 400 mg orally twice daily. In the exploratory Part II, patients will be randomized to receive either the previously established dose of RO5323441 iv every 2 weeks plus continuous oral sorafenib or sorafenib alone. Anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs. For patients in the sorafenib arm with disease progression crossover to combination treatment with RO5323441 will be allowed.
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a respiratory disorder of sleep characterized by recurrent episodes of complete or partial upper airway obstruction, leading to intermittent oxygen deprivation. This results in sympathetic activation and surges in blood pressure, production of vasoactive substances, as well as activation of the inflammatory and procoagulant pathways. Epidemiological evidence indicates the prevalence of OSA is higher in patients with coronary artery disease than in the general population. The investigators recently showed that 65.7% and 41.9% of the Singapore patients admitted with myocardial infarction were found to have previously undiagnosed OSA and severe OSA, respectively. In a 10-year follow-up epidemiological study, OSA was independently associated with a higher prevalence of fatal and non-fatal cardiovascular events among the otherwise healthy general population. The investigators further showed that in patients who have undergone primary percutaneous coronary intervention for acute myocardial infarction, OSA was an independent predictor of future adverse event rates. Despite the observed association between OSA and adverse cardiovascular outcomes, the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms remain unclear. In this proposal, the investigators aim to elucidate the relationship between OSA and composition of coronary atherosclerotic plaques.
The purpose of this two-stage phase II study is to assess the efficacy of BKM120, as measured by determining the progression free survival (PFS), in patients with pretreated metastatic Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) that exhibits PI3K pathway activation. BKM120 will be investigated in two groups of NSCLC patients according to the histology of the cancer: squamous and non-squamous.
The study will be conducted as an open label, single-center, single dose and biodistribution study in patients with cancer or inflammation. 56 patients will be selected among the patients undergoing the screening examination conducted within 3 weeks before drug administration. Single dose of the study drug will be administrated in a dose of 300 MBq to these patients. The follow-up period contains the end-of-study telephone interview 5-8 days following the treatment. Key measurements are the PET/CT image acquisitions within a time frame of about 2 hours after the single injection of BAY86-9596.
This is a prospective multi-center, open-label, single arm, Phase II study to investigate the safety and efficacy of BKM120 in patients with advanced endometrial carcinoma whose disease progressed on or after a first-line antineoplastic treatment. Patients will receive BKM120 orally at a dose of 100 mg/day. Availability of tumor specimen (either archival tissue or a fixed fresh biopsy) is mandatory for assessment of the PI3K (Phosphatidylinositol 3 Kinase (PI3K) pathway activation status.
This study is carried out to find out if Brain Computer Interface (BCI) technology or BCI technology coupled with robotic technology using a Haptic Knob will benefit patients with arm paralysis after stroke. BCI uses EEG-based motor imagery to detect user's thinking abilities which control motor movement. Haptic Knob is a novel robotic device, which specifically trains the wrist and hand with intensive repetitions in a supported environment.
The purpose of the study is to determine whether Ipilimumab plus Paclitaxel and Carboplatin will extend the lives of patients with squamous only non small cell lung cancer more than placebo plus Paclitaxel and Carboplatin.
This study assessed the safety and efficacy of LDK378 in adult patients with genetic abnormalities in anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK).
In this study, a 5 mg dose of CP-690,550 will be given to study subjects on two separate occasions using one of two different strength tablets each time. The amount of CP-690,550 available in the blood following administration of each tablet will be measured and compared. The overall aim of the study is to establish that a similar amount of CP-690,550 is absorbed into the blood following administration of the same dose of each different strength tablet .
This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) plus peginterferon α-2a (PEG) combination therapy versus standard of care TDF monotherapy or PEG monotherapy in non-cirrhotic adults with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV). The study will consist of 2 phases for participants in the TDF+PEG 48 week, TDF 48 week+PEG 16 week, and PEG 48 week groups. Following an initial 48 weeks of treatment, participants in these groups will be monitored for 24 weeks for signs of worsening HBV, and those with new signs and/or symptoms will be eligible to receive TDF monotherapy during a retreatment phase, up to Week 120.
