There are about 3461 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.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) represent approximately 70-85% of liver cancer, in which Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is the major etiologic agent accounting for at least 80% of HCC in Asian countries. Overall, transplantation remains the best option however, HCC recurrence rate is high among liver transplant patients. While there are limited treatment measures for HBV-related HCC recurrences, the study hypothesized that LioCyx is capable of lysing target liver cells expressing the HBV cognate antigens and provide clinical benefit to patients with HBV-related HCC.
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.
This study evaluates the use of ETC-1907206 in combination with dasatinib in certain types of blood cancers. The first phase of the study (1A) is designed to find the highest tolerated dose of ETC-1907206, while the second phase (1B) will assess the safety and tolerability of the recommended dose of ETC-1907206. ETC-1907206 has been designed to block the activity of an enzyme of the body known as Mnk kinase, which is thought to be involved in the development of a variety of cancers.
This is a study to determine the efficacy, safety and clinical benefit (how well the drugs works), of the pharmaceutical compositions in Nasal Spray NST-4G for the treatment of brain tumors( Recurrent Glioblastoma, Gliosarcoma,Anaplastic Gliomas, Previously Treated). All drugs target the inhibition of the growth factors and neo-angiogenesis as one the main reasons for the growth of the tumor. The purpose of the Nasal Spray NST-4G study is to determine the safety and tolerability in order to establish the best dose level to be used in future studies.
The primary aim of the study is to test safety and tolerance of oral intake of GT oil in the form of a non-diary based emulsion (10g of GT per emulsion) in healthy men. This will be a single center study, and the recruitment is expected to happen over a 1-2- month's period.
PHASE II STUDY OF DURVALUMAB IN COMBINATION WITH LENALIDOMIDE IN RELAPSED/REFRACTORY EBV ASSOCIATED SUBTYPES OF DLBCL, PRIMARY CNS LYMPHOMA AND PRIMARY TESTICULAR DLBCL Patients with relapsed refractory subtypes of DLBCL who fulfill the inclusion / exclusion criteria will be recruited to this trial and treated in this open label, phase 2 trial with the PDL1 inhibitor Durvalumab and Lenalidomide. The combination treatment will be given from the time of recruitment for 6 months when Lenalidomide will be stopped but Durvalumab will continue for a total of 2 years. Response will be assessed by PET / CT scans as per standard lugano criteria.
In an earlier study using electronic health records (EHR), the investigators have identified nine factors to be significantly associated with FA risk. These nine predictors include Furosemide intravenous 40 milligrams or more; Admissions in the past one year; Medifund status; Frequent emergency department use; Anti-depressants treatment in past one year; Charlson comorbidity index; End Stage Renal Failure on dialysis; Subsidized ward stay and Geriatric patient. The investigators have combined these nine predictors into the FAM-FACE-SG score for FA risk (defined as 3 or more inpatient admissions in the following 12 months). The FAM-FACE-SG risk score has the advantage of being deployed in our hospital's enterprise data repository known as Electronic Health Intelligence System or eHINTs for short, on a real-time or near real-time basis. On a daily basis, data from multiple data sources are extracted, transformed and loaded onto the eHINTS system. The system can be programmed to run every midnight to provide risk scores the following morning for patients admitted the previous day. In this trial, the intervention is to combine the FAM-FACE-SG risk score in addition to a decision making algorithm to guide referrals to various transitional care services based on needs assessment on nursing and function. The primary objective is to evaluate the impact of our intervention in improving healthcare utilization (hospital readmissions, emergency department (ED) attendances, length of stay up to 90 days post-discharge).
Optiflow high flow nasal cannula (HFNC) oxygenation is a technique to provide oxygen to patients when they are paralysed under general anaesthesia. Their lungs are not moving, but the high flow allows oxygen to travel into their lungs. This is called 'apnoeic ventilation'. The investigators will be using this for patients undergoing surgery for their throat.
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.
Dengue fever is an acute febrile illness transmitted by mosquitoes, which affects half the world's population. There are 96 million symptomatic infections, 500,0000 hospitalisations and 25,000 deaths per year attributed to the disease. The economic burden is $12 billion. In Singapore, as elsewhere, the incidence of the disease continues to increase despite aggressive control measures. At present there are no approved medicines for treating dengue fever. Only supportive fluid replacement therapy is used to treat vascular leakage in patients with severe illness. Therefore there is an urgent need to find alternative treatments. Experiments in the laboratory have shown that Celgosivir and modipafant inhibit dengue virus and improve mouse survival. Both drugs have previously been used in humans with good safety records, so investigators are taking this one step further to find out how well it works in dengue patients. Investigators plan to enroll dengue patients within 48 hours of fever onset and assign them to one of four treatment groups over five days. Together with the support from the industry partner, 60°Pharmaceuticals PLC, the investigators will determine the safety and effectiveness of these drugs on acute dengue patients and pave the way forward for dengue antiviral medicines to reach patients.
