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, international multi-center extension study WA18695 was designed to assess the long term safety of tocilizumab in patients who had moderate to severe active rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Patients enrolled in the WA18695 study had previously received treatment in the 24-week, placebo-controlled, Phase III Study WA17822. Eligible patients were assigned to treatment with 8 mg/kg tocilizumab every 4 weeks for a maximum of 5 years.
Vibration Response Imaging (VRI) is novel technology which records breath sounds via pizo-electric sensors and produces a digital image using a computer algorithm. It is radiation free and is portable to the patient's bedside. Data exists to show that the recordings from normal individuals differs from those who have pulmonary pathology. There is also evidence that recordings have high levels of inter and intra-observer reliability. However, data on specific VRI patterns for specific pathology is still needed before this can be used as a diagnostic tool. We aim to perform an open label feasibility trial on inpatient and outpatient pulmonary patients. Bedside clinical examination and chest auscultation will be used as the reference gold standard. Other diagnostic modalities that have been used as part of the patient's usual standard of care will also be used for comparison. Specifically breath sound progression, the maximal sound energy shape/distribution and the presence of artifactual sounds will be used to search for patterns that may be used for diagnosis. Sensitivity and specificity will be calculated for each disease (eg. asthma, emphysema, bronchiectasis, pneumonia, effusion, pneumothorax, etc)
To estimate the difference in efficacy and safety of bevacizumab and RAD001 compared to bevacizumab and interferon alfa-2a for first-line treatment of patients with metastatic carcinoma of the kidney.
The objective of the study is to determine whether a specific immune microenvironment in the primary tumor is associated with a favorable clinical course after nephrectomy and in the absence of adjuvant treatment.
To review the characteristics and treatment of gastrointestinal tumours at the two tertiary centres in Singapore
We hypothesize that Epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors modulate tumor changes that may be reflected in the alteration of serum proteins. Study objectives are: - To establish serum proteomic changes in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) receiving erlotinib or gefitinib. - To identify a serum protein profile that predicts erlotinib or gefitinib sensitivity or resistance in NSCLC patients with and without EGFR mutations. - To study the toxicity of erlotinib or gefitinib by correlating clinical toxicity with serum protein profile.
To define the frequency of T regulatory cells in peripheral blood of RCC patients before and after nephrectomy. Study hypothesis: That nephrectomy results in a normalisation of peripheral blood T regs in early stage RCC, and a lowering of T regs in advanced RCC.
1. To demonstrate the feasibility of leukapheresis and ex vivo activation of autologous NK cells in patients with metastatic NPC 2. To demonstrate the safety of low dose systemic IL-2 in combination with escalating doses of autologous Ex Vivo Activated NK cells in patients with metastatic NPC 3. To assess immune measurements such as quantitation of regulatory T cells, EBV specific T cells, serum cytokine levels, and NK cell function after treatment with IL-2 and autologous Ex Vivo Activated NK cells
We hypothesized that subjects with CYP2D6*10 alleles may have a lower steady state levels of endoxifen due to reduced conversion of tamoxifen to endoxifen. Primary objectives: - To determine the steady state pharmacokinetics of tamoxifen and its metabolites - To test the effects of genetic polymorphisms of CYP2D6 on plasma concentration of tamoxifen and its metabolites in hormone receptor positive women who are taking tamoxifen as adjuvant treatment for breast cancer.
The overall objective of the study is to assess the feasibility of the use of blood for the detection of EGFR mutations in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) Specific aims are: 1. To assess the use of immuno-separation techniques to enrich the tumor cell population in the blood of NSCLC patients. 2. To assess the use of denaturing high performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC) assay for the detection of EGFR mutations in the blood of NSCLC patients.
