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 purpose of this study was to determine the safety and tolerability of CLR325 intravenous (i.v.) infusion in patients with stable heart failure to determine if further clinical development of the drug in this indication was warranted.
This main purpose of this clinical study is to learn about the safety and activity of margetuximab and pembrolizumab combination treatment in patients with HER2+ gastric and gastroesophageal junction cancer.
The aim of this study is to study the effects of athrectomy followed by percutaneous transluminal angioplasty using Paclitaxel coated Drug Eluting Balloon (DEB) in treating de novo or re-stenotic lesions in the femoral-popliteal artery in patients with symptomatic peripheral vascular disease in an Asian population. The intention is to study the effects of debulking athrectomy followed by application of DEBs to prevent restenosis, resulting in improved patency rates The study will prospectively recruit 8 cases treated with athrectomy followed by DEB. This project is a pilot to investigate the effects of athrectomy and DEB in reducing re-stenosis rates. It will be a primer for a larger scale randomized controlled trial (RCT) involving multiple institutions to demonstrate the benefit of athrectomy and DEB technology to treat de novo versus plain balloon angioplasty with bail-out stenting, which is currently the most commonly used modality to treat femoral-popliteal lesions. There are no studies combining the effect of rotational athrectomy and DEBs.
Polymyxin B is already being used extensively in the USA and other parts of the world; its use is likely to rapidly increase due to the greater burden of infections caused by MDR Gram-negative bacteria and the growing awareness of the limitations inherent in the clinical pharmacology of CMS/colistin. Cross resistance exists between the two polymyxins and thus both must be dosed optimally; but the recently generated scientifically-based dosage regimens for CMS/colistin cannot be extrapolated to polymyxin B. It is essential that an adequately powered study is conducted to define the clinical PK/PD/TD relationships of polymyxin B and identify, using next-generation proteomics, biomarkers for early detection of kidney injury. This will allow the development of scientifically-based dosage regimens for various categories of patients and an adaptive feedback control clinical tool for optimized dosing of polymyxin B in future individual patients.
Multi-center, International, Prospective, Non comparative, Non randomized, Open label. 5,000 patients to be enrolled approximately worldwide. The objective of this registry is to collect safety and clinical performance post market data related to the procedure and follow-up of the Sorin Group aortic valve devices in accordance with the Instructions for Use (IFU). This observational global registry is intended to collect data without requiring any deviation from the standard of care and IFU in each participating center. The participating centers shall include those patients that have provided their informed consent to participate in this registry in accordance with the local applicable regulations.
This study consists of two parts (Part 1 and Part 2). The purpose of Part 1 is to evaluate the way the body absorbs, distributes, metabolizes and removes the drug LCZ696. This will help determine the proper dose of LCZ696 for Part 2 of the study. The purpose for Part 2 is to compare the effectiveness and safety of LCZ696 with enalapril in a double-blind manner, in pediatric heart failure patients over 52 weeks of treatment.
The investigators will provide an integrated community of care to a socioeconomically disadvantaged population. This included an extended cycle of care from tertiary care to primary care and linkages with social care agencies in the community.
This study aims to establish the incidence of residual paralysis in patients following administration of a mini- dose of atracurium (less than ED95 i.e. <0.23mg/kg or <15 mg in most patients) during supraglottic airway insertion and correlate it with the duration of time from drug administration to arrival at PACU. The secondary aim is to compare the incidence of residual paralysis in patients who receive full doses of atracurium (per body weight) with those who receive mini-doses.
Rationale and Aims: Infection by dengue virus (DENV) causes major morbidity and mortality throughout the world. In 2012, an estimated 3.6 billion people live in areas at risk for DENV infection, including Singapore. The key pathology of DENV infection is vascular leakage, which can occur in mild cases and can become life-threatening in severe cases when patients may develop dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) or dengue shock syndrome (DSS). Mast cells (MCs) are strongly activated by DENV with preliminary studies showing that activation levels are correlated to disease severity in human patients. Thus, the investigators propose to use the MC stabilizing drug, ketotifen, to limit the immune pathology that is characteristic of dengue infection and treat dengue-induced vascular leakage. Methods: The ability of Ketotifen to reduce vascular leakage in DENV patients will be determined by assessing the pooling of fluid in the pleural cavity (measured by MRI and CXR) after 5 days of drug administration, evaluated as a percent change compared to baseline fluid levels. Additional measures of vascular leakage and immune pathology will be compared as secondary objectives. The trial will be conducted as a randomized, double-blind study comparing the responses of dengue patients given either ketotifen or placebo (n=55 per arm). Importance of proposed research: Currently, no targeted treatments exist to limit vascular leakage during DENV infection. If Ketotifen is identified as effective for preventing pleural effusion and/or plasma leakage in DENV patients, this would constitute an advance for the clinical management of DENV fever. This finding would also support a large-scale trial to determine whether Ketotifen can be used to prevent severe vascular leakage as occurs during DHF/DSS. Benefits/Risks: Ketotifen has a record of safety and tolerability in humans, regulatory approval, and widespread use. Side effects are generally mild. The potential exists that, if effective, many of the painful and life-threatening symptoms of DENV infection that result from plasma leakage would be improved.
