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.
Study of low dose atropine in preventing the onset and progression of myopia in high risk children with pre-myopia or low-myopia.
Lupus Low Disease Activity State (LLDAS) study is an international, multi-centre prospective study, developed by the Asia Pacific Lupus Collaboration (APLC) to investigate whether the attainment of LLDAS is associated with improved outcomes in patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). SLE, or lupus, is the archetypal multisystem autoimmune disease, with an estimated incidence of 5-50 cases per 100,000 people. Patients with SLE, usually young women, suffer a marked loss of life expectancy, and severe morbidity, due to a heterogeneous range of clinical manifestations caused by autoimmune-mediated inflammation of multiple organs. The most severe manifestations of SLE are the accrual of irreversible organ damage, especially renal and central nervous system (CNS) involvement. As there is no effective targeted monotherapy for SLE, patients also suffer severe toxicity from the use of glucocorticoids and broad-spectrum immunosuppressive therapies. Despite combination therapy with current drugs, many studies show that the majority of patients suffer inadequate disease control and inexorably accrue permanent organ damage over time. The diversity of clinical features of active SLE has made quantification of disease activity problematic. Although there are a number of published systems in use to measure SLE disease activity, there are widely acknowledged problems with these instruments. Published definitions of remission are so stringent that they are met by less than 5% of patients. This lead to the realisation that rather than lupus remission, a lupus low disease activity state target may be more feasible, and that patients with low disease activity are more homogeneous than patients with active disease. Thus, the development of a definition of lupus low disease activity, which is feasible and has face validity, escapes the complexity of attempts to quantify heterogeneous states of active disease. In this study, the investigators will prospectively collect longitudinal data on consecutive SLE patients at each centre to evaluate the LLDAS definition. Protection from organ damage accrual as the primary endpoint.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether nivolmab alone or the combination of nivolumab and ipilimumab versus placebo, is safe and effective for delaying or preventing recurrence of cancer in participants who have experienced partial or entire removal of a kidney.
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a prevalent condition that adversely affects patient's quality of life and represents a large health care burden globally. Currently, there is no satisfactory treatment for IBS and Chinese Herbal medicine (CHM) has been suggested to be potentially useful. However, the efficacy of CHM in the treatment of IBS is unclear and its mechanism of action is unknown. To date, attempts to characterize CHM efficacy universally suffer from poor scientific method or they do not faithfully replicate authentic CHM best practice. The overall goal of this proposal is hence to address these deficiencies by combining the best of CHM with western medicine.The investigators propose a 10-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study on 104 patients that form the intersect between western medicine and CHM. The participants would fulfill ROME III criteria for IBS-Constipation predominant subtype, which is also the TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) syndrome of Liver Qi stagnation. The investigators will test a core herbal formula specific for treatment of Liver Qi stagnation against placebo that consist of only 10% active ingredients but which is indistinguishable by taste from active treatment. Efficacy will be assessed by comparing symptoms reported at baseline (2-week run-in period) to end of treatment (8 weeks) and an optional follow up period (12 weeks). The primary end point will be improvement in IBS-Symptom Severity Score. Mechanism of action will be explored by measuring changes to the stool microbiome and GI transit times. If successful, this trial would provide one of the first evidence- and mechanism-based approach to translate CHM into mainstream IBS management.
BOOSTER is a randomised, controlled, phase II trial comparing osimertinib and bevacizumab versus osimertinib alone as second-line treatment in patients with stage IIIb-IVb non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) harbouring activating EGFR (exon 19 deletion or L858R) and T790M resistance mutation.
Phase 1 study evaluating the safety and tolerability of YS-ON-001 in patients with advanced solid tumors who have limited available treatment options, and exploratory evaluation of the pharmacological effect and efficacy of YS-ON-001. The study will be conducted in two parts: dose escalation and cohort expansion
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of CNP520 on cognition, global clinical status, and underlying AD pathology, as well as the safety of CNP520, in people at risk for the onset of clinical symptoms of AD based on their age, APOE genotype and elevated amyloid.
This protocol for Varlitinib is developed for the treatment of Gastric Cancer. Varlitinib (also known as ASLAN001) is a small-molecule, adenosine triphosphate competitive inhibitor of the tyrosine kinases - epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER)2, and HER4. Varlitinib may be beneficial to subjects with cancer by simultaneous inhibition of these receptors. The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of Varlitinib in combination with mFOLFOX6 for the treatment of Gastric Cancer. Treatment groups are Varlitinib+mFOLFOX6 and Placebo+mFOLFOX6.
This is a crossover randomized controlled trial comparing a convenient positional therapy (PT) device to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in the treatment of positional obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
This is an investigator-initiated phase II single arm trial, combining neoadjuvant apalutamide (ARN509) with radical prostatectomy, in the treatment of D'Amico intermediate to high risk organ-confined prostate cancer. Apalutamide has shown efficacy in castrate resistant prostate cancer in phase II studies and are now in phase III trials combined with radiation in organ confined disease. The primary study objectives include assessment of (i) oncological efficacy as determined by tumour downstaging and achievement of nadir PSA The secondary study objectives include(i) determination of adverse effects related to apalutamide and surgical complication rates (ii) human prostate tissue effect of apalutamide The study will recruit thirty eligible participants who will receive 12 weeks of oral apalutamide 240mg daily. This will be followed by standard-of-care radical prostatectomy. The total trial duration is 26 weeks.
