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 study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of faricimab administered at 8-week intervals or as specified in the protocol following treatment initiation, compared with aflibercept once every 8 weeks (Q8W), in participants with diabetic macular edema (DME).
Maternal hypotension during spinal anaesthesia for Caesarean delivery may bring various adverse effects. It is therefore important to closely monitor hypotension during spinal anaesthesia, however current technology does not allow the blood pressure monitoring to respond in timely manner should there be any occurrence of hypotension. The investigators developed an advanced double-intravenous vasopressor automated system (ADIVA) so as to tackle this issue via novel algorithm to control blood pressure more rigorously with more stable haemodynamic profiles.
The aim of this study is to improve sleep behavior in secondary school students, through the use of an educational program specifically designed for this purpose. Data will be collected on students' time use, sleep habits, daytime functioning and mood before and after the program to assess if the program is effective in improving students' sleep behavior and corresponding outcomes.
Radiation therapy for head and neck cancer (HNC) is associated with the development of swallowing difficulties, or dysphagia. Dysphagia has profound negative effects on the health, nutritional status, and quality of life of HNC survivors. It also puts them at risk of developing life-threatening aspiration pneumonia. Radiation-associated dysphagia can be intractable and not responsive to conventional dysphagia therapy. HNC survivors with chronic severe dysphagia may be dependent on long-term tube feeding. Expiratory Muscle Strength Training (EMST) is a low-cost, device-driven therapy. It has been studied as an approach to simultaneously improve cough and swallowing functions. During EMST, patients forcefully expire into a one-way spring-loaded valve to strengthen expiratory and submental musculature. The EMST-150 device is available for clinical use in Singapore. In other research studies, it has been shown to improve cough and swallowing in several populations of people with chronic dysphagia, most recently in people with chronic radiation-associated dysphagia. The investigators propose to study the effect of EMST using the EMST-150 device on cough, airway protection, and swallowing functions of HNC survivors with radiation-associated dysphagia. The investigators will recruit 40 participants to undergo an 8-week EMST programme, with weekly follow-up to calibrate their EMST device. It is hypothesised that EMST will improve participants' respiratory and swallowing functions. Respiratory function improvement will be shown by increased maximum expiratory pressure and improved cough airflow measures. Swallowing function improvement will be evidenced by reduced aspiration or improved ability to clear aspirated material during videofluoroscopic swallow studies. The investigators also hypothesize carryover effects on other aspects of swallowing, such as improved hyoid and laryngeal excursions, and improved laryngeal vestibule closure. With the results of this study, the investigators aim to develop better evidence-based rehabilitation programmes for HNC survivors, and those living with chronic dysphagia.
Brief Summary The purpose of this study is to investigate how circulating metabolites mediate changes in heart function after exercise intervention. Condition or disease :Cardiovascular function Intervention/treatment Cardiovascular: Echocardiography Other: Vascular Stiffness Other: Metabolomics (Blood)
The study involves a comparison of 2 formulations of LY900014, which is a type of fast acting insulin. Study participants will be administered LY900014 U-100 two times and LY900014 U-200 two times, over 4 study periods, by injection under the skin. Blood samples will be taken to compare how the body handles the study drugs and how they affect the blood sugar levels. Side effects and tolerability will be documented. The study will last about 4 weeks, not including screening and follow up. Screening is required within 28 days prior to the start of the study and follow up is required at least 2 weeks after the last dose of study drug.
This study is a randomized controlled trial that tests the effectiveness of a novel intervention called the Push-Pull-Hold program on improving self-care in patients with heart failure. This intervention was developed based on our previous quantitative and qualitative findings and existing psychological concepts. Results would inform current understanding of the intention-behavior link in self-care and inform future policy and intervention development to improve patient and caregiver outcomes.
The BioFreedom BA9 (Stainless Steel) Drug Coated Stent is an approved stent that is already commercially available in Europe and Asia. The purpose of this registry is to assess the safety and efficacy of the BioFreedom stent for treatment of a specific group of patients; patients with a myocardial infarction (STEMI). The objective is to capture patients' outcomes and antithrombotic strategies data using one or several BioFreedom Stents in the routine treatment of these STEMI patients.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of OMS721 on 24-hour urine protein excretion (UPE) in IgA nephropathy (IgAN) patients with high baseline proteinuria (high-risk proteinuria group; 24-hour UPE ≥ 2 g/day) assessed at 36 weeks from baseline.
The objective of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of upadacitinib for the treatment of adolescent and adult participants with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (AD) who are candidates for systemic therapy.
