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 is an open-label, randomized, parallel group Phase 2A/2B study to evaluate the clinical activity of ASLAN001 in combination with capecitabine compared with lapatinib in combination with capecitabine in patients with HER2 positive metastatic breast cancer that has failed on prior trastuzumab therapy.
This was a phase II, multi-center, open-label, five-arm study in which the efficacy and safety of oral ceritinib treatment was assessed in patients with NSCLC metastatic to the brain and/or to leptomeninges harboring a confirmed ALK rearrangement, using the FDA approved Vysis ALK Break Apart FISH Probe Kit (Abbott Molecular Inc.) test and scoring algorithm (including positivity criteria). If documentation of ALK rearrangement as described above was not locally available, a test to confirm ALK rearrangement was performed by a Novartis designated central laboratory. Patients waited for the central laboratory result of the ALK rearrangement status before initiating treatment with ceritinib.
The purpose of this study was to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) / recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of nazartinib (EGF816) in combination with capmatinib (INC280) and to estimate the preliminary anti-tumor activity of nazartinib in combination with capmatinib in participants with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with documented EGFR mutation.
The purpose of the Phase Ib is to: 1. determine the recommended dose of LEE011 in combination with a standard dose of letrozole as well as to provide additional safety and anti-tumor activity data in Asian non-Japanese patients 2. determine the recommended dose of LEE011 in combination with a standard dose of letrozole as well as to provide additional safety and activity data in Japanese patients 3. evaluate the safety and anti-tumor activity of LEE011 at the RP2D established in the dose escalation part in combination with a standard dose of letrozole, fulvestrant or tamoxifen plus goserelin in Japanese patients.
This study evaluates the addition of Pecs II block to ultrasound-guided supraclavicular brachial plexus block in patients undergoing arteriovenous graft creation surgery. Participants will be randomised into two equal groups, one receiving supraclavicular and pecs II blocks, the other receiving supraclavicular block and sham block (Grade 1).
Hip fractures are common in our elderly population and is associated with pain before and after surgery. The current pain management for patients who have undergone surgery for hip fractures include a combination of oral painkillers, opioids (eg morphine) and regional anaesthesia techniques, which involves the injection of local anaesthetic drugs near nerves supplying the hip joint to numb the operation site. As opioids have many side effects, especially in the elderly patients, regional anaesthesia techniques can help to reduce the use of opioids and the related side effects. This may enhance their recovery and length of hospital stay
High blood pressure (BP) is a serious public health problem responsible for heart attack, stroke and kidney failure. One in four adults in Singapore has hypertension. We propose a pilot study in 2 polyclinics in Singapore, 1 deliver a structured multi-component intervention and another usual care. A total of 100 adults with uncontrolled high blood pressure will be followed for 3 months. The intervention includes 1) algorithm-driven antihypertensive treatment for all patients using fixed-dose combination and lipid lowering for high risk patients, 2) motivational conversation for high risk patients; and 3) telephone based follow-ups of all patients by a team of physician supervised nurse practitioners and nurses. The change in BP will be compared between intervention and control groups. The structured care including the above mentioned components is likely to be more effective than usual care in lowering BP levels of patients with uncontrolled high blood pressure. Such a program is also likely to be more cost effective in terms of money spent for improving quality of patients' life. The findings of the pilot will inform the design of a larger cluster randomized trial in eight polyclinics in Singapore. If the main study is successful, the findings will be informative for policymakers to roll out intervention in all polyclinics and primary care centers across Singapore, and other countries with similar healthcare infrastructure.
Estimate the maximum tolerated dose and/or recommended phase II dose and efficacy of FGF401 as single agent and in combination with PDR001 in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma and as single agent in patients with other solid malignancies based on RECIST 1.1.
This study is to investigate changes in brain activities in acute stroke patients , and to correlate findings with clinical outcome measures. Another aim of the study is to investigate whether transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) could improve motor function in subjects with poor brain activity after stroke. The brain activity will be measured by single and paired pulse TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation). The study hypothesizes that: 1. The neural mechanisms employed in patients who have different response to TMS stimulation are different. It is hypothesized that patients with no response upon TMS stimulation might have poorer motor function outcome, compared with patients with response upon TMS stimulation. 2. The result of clinical outcome measures is related with TMS measurement. 3. tDCS intervention is beneficial to subjects with poor brain activity. Clinical outcome measures will include a battery of upper limb motor tests such as upper extremity component of the Fugl-Meyer Assessment, Modified Ashworth scale for spasticity, box and block test, and manual muscle testing. Clinical outcome and TMS measurement will be assessed at within 2 weeks, 4-6 weeks and at 6 months post-stroke.
To determine the efficacy and safety of nivolumab in combination with EGF816 and of nivolumab in combination with INC280 in previously treated NSCLC patients
