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.
The study will evaluate the effect of oral contraceptive (birth control pill) on the blood level of lanabecestat when both are given together. Side effects will be monitored and documented. This study will last up to 27 days for each participant, not including screening. Screening is required within 42 days prior to first dose.
Mortality rates in children with pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (PARDS) are higher in Asia compared to other regions. In adults with acute respiratory distress syndrome, the only therapy that improves mortality rates is a lung protective ventilation strategy. The pediatric ventilation recommendations by the Pediatric Acute Lung Injury Consensus Conference (PALICC) are extrapolated from evidence in adults, including ventilation with low tidal volume, low peak/plateau pressures and high end expiratory pressure. A recent retrospective study of ventilation practices in Asia including Singapore showed that a majority of patients with PARDS were being ventilated with high tidal volume, high peak pressure and low end expiratory pressure, not in compliance with PALICC recommendations. We postulate that currently used ventilation strategies could have contributed to the high PARDS mortality rates in Asia. We aim to determine if implementing a ventilation bundle comprising PALICC recommendations lowers PARDS and pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) mortality rates.
The Pre-DICTED (Pre-Diabetes Intervention and Continued Tracking to Ease-out Diabetes) program is a community-based diabetes prevention program. This study aims to test the effectiveness of structured, group-based lifestyle interventions with stepwise addition of metformin, if required, among subjects with pre-diabetes in multi-ethnic Singapore.
This project aims to ascertain that novel imaging and metabolic markers can be used to identify as well as to validate and improve the detection of Singapore-Chinese women at increased risk of diabetes.
The purpose of this study is to investigate if lymphocyte markers predict response to rituximab among patients with idiopathic nephrotic syndrome
The main purpose of this study was to assess the antitumor activity of three combinations: i) LAG525 + spartalizumab; ii) LAG525 + spartalizumab + carboplatin, and iii) LAG525 + carboplatin in participants with advanced triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) in first or second line therapy.
An Advanced Medical Directive (AMD) is a legal document in Singapore that allows one to inform their medical practitioner that they do not want any life-sustaining treatment should they become unconscious and terminally ill where death is imminent. Despite the AMD act being passed in Singapore Parliament in 1996, uptake remains low among the population. Several intervention studies have shown that education and communication can be effective in promoting end-of-life discussion and planning. In this study, we aim to compare the effectiveness of counselling sessions together with pamphlets, versus pamphlets alone, versus current care, in increasing the completion rates of the AMD in the Singapore Polyclinic setting.
This is a single-arm, allocation open label study. Phase 1 is a dose-finding phase in patients with advanced/ metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who have progressed on first line Sorafenib or Lenvatinib. The primary objective of this study will be to establish the maximal tolerable dose (MTD) of ASLAN001 (Varlitinib) in the study population The secondary objectives include: 1. To evaluate the efficacy of ASLAN001 (Varlitinib), as measured by duration of response (DoR), progression free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and disease control rate (DCR) 2. To assess the ORR, DoR, PFS, DCR and OS by tumor EGFR/HER2/HER3/HER4 status 3. To identify tumor and host biomarkers predictive of treatment response or toxicity to ASLAN001.
This study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of adjuvant atezolizumab in combination with paclitaxel, followed by atezolizumab, dose-dense doxorubicin or epirubicin (investigator's choice), and cyclophosphamide, compared with paclitaxel followed by dose-dense doxorubicin or epirubicin (investigator's choice) and cyclophosphamide alone in patients with Stage II-III TNBC (Triple Negative Breast Cancer)
20-40% of patients with NSCLC will develop brain metastases at some point during their course of disease. Osimertinib has demonstrated intracranial activity in EFGR mutated NSCLC with leptomeningeal disease in the phase 1 BLOOM study. Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is one of the standard local treatment for patients with limited number of brain metastases. Currently, it is unclear whether adding SRS to Osimertinib will result in superior intracranial disease control in patients with EGFR mutated NSCLC with brain metastases diagnosed de novo or developed while on first line EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) such as Erlotinib and Gefinitib. The aim of this study is to compare the effects of Osimertinib alone versus SRS plus Osimertinib on intra-cranial disease control in EGFR mutated NSCLC with brain metastases diagnosed or developed while on first line EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors.
