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 study aims to consolidate the contributions of various medical, social and psychological predictors of success following bariatric surgery amongst Singaporeans.
Compared to other races, Indians have higher insulin resistance, poorer pancreatic function and a greater risk of developing diabetes, highlighting the importance of early strategies for improving insulin sensitivity and improving pancreatic function in Indians to prevent diabetes and lower the risk of heart disease. A low carbohydrate diet can deplete fat from undesirable places, such as fat around organs in the abdominal cavity. In this study, we will determine if restriction of dietary carbohydrates will deplete fat in the pancreas and liver, and improve insulin sensitivity and early insulin secretion in Indians. These changes may prevent diabetes from developing. Hepatic and pancreatic fat will be measured using magnetic resonance imaging. Insulin sensitivity and secretion will be measured during an oral glucose tolerance test. In addition, this study will investigate if the higher insulin resistance in Indians is due to genes that cause the inability to store fat in the legs. The results on the type of diet that is more effective for reducing pancreatic and hepatic fat is important for informing dietary guidelines on the use of low carbohydrate diets for diabetes prevention, particularly in Indians who have a higher risk of developing diabetes.
This study looks at the safety and effectiveness of different drugs in treating COVID-19 in people who have been hospitalized with the infection. Participants in the study will be treated with either a study drug plus current standard of care (SOC), or with placebo plus current SOC.
The main purpose of this study in healthy participants is to learn more about the safety of LY3493269 and any side effects that might be associated with it. Blood tests will be performed to check how much LY3493269 gets into the bloodstream and how long it takes the body to eliminate it. For each participant, the study will last about 10 weeks and may include 12 visits, including five nights in a row in the clinical research center.
The understanding of pachychoroid phenotype is incomplete. It is important to understand the risk of conversion from an uncomplicated pachychoroid phenotype to the pachychoroid disease phenotype, to guide appropriate management of these patients.
The study aims to longitudinally track the onset, severity and recovery of changes in chemosensory acuity (smell and/or taste loss) among those suspected of COVID-19 infection. Using standardised questionnaire and testing approaches, the investigators aim to objectively characterise and measure temporal changes in taste and smell to confirm the prevalence of these symptoms as an early marker of infection. Information on symptoms experience, changes in appetite and food-related quality of life will be also be assessed via questionnaire. The results of the study will help individuals who experience a loss of smell and/or taste to self-isolate and/or self-refer to a medical professional, if an association between smell and/or taste and COVID-19 infection is found.
ACTT-3 will evaluate the combination of interferon beta-1a and remdesivir compared to remdesivir alone. Subjects will be assessed daily while hospitalized. If the subjects are discharged from the hospital, they will have a study visit at Days 15, 22, and 29. For discharged subjects, it is preferred that the Day 15 and 29 visits are in person to obtain safety laboratory tests and oropharyngeal (OP) swab and blood (serum only) samples for secondary research as well as clinical outcome data. However, infection control or other restrictions may limit the ability of the subject to return to the clinic. In this case, these visits may be conducted by phone, and only clinical data will be obtained. The Day 22 visit does not have laboratory tests or collection of samples and is conducted by phone. The primary outcome is time to recovery by Day 29.
The current work aims to examine whether the proposed rehabilitation training or exercise will eventually yield improvements in both motor and somatosensory aspects at one goal. Here, the word 'somatosensory' refers to bodily sensations associated with proprioception or kinesthesia, not the sensation of touch, pain, and temperature. The study focuses on upper limb retraining for community-dwelling stroke survivors using a robotic device. At the end of training, both movement accuracy and somatosensory acuity in chronic stroke survivors are presumed to improve, and such paradigm is expected to provide reliable benefits as compared to conventional intervention alone.
Primary Objective: To demonstrate the non-inferiority of the seroprotection rate (serum bactericidal assay using human complement [hSBA] titer greater than or equal to [>=] 1:8) to meningococcal serogroups A, C, W, and Y following the administration of a single dose of Meningococcal Polysaccharide (Serogroups A, C, Y, and W) Tetanus Toxoid Conjugate vaccine (MenACYW Conjugate vaccine) (Group 1) compared to a single dose of Nimenrix® (Group 2). Secondary Objective: To describe: - the antibody response of meningococcal serogroups A, C, W, and Y measured by hSBA, before and 1 month following meningococcal vaccination administered alone (Groups 1 and 2) or concomitantly with 9-valent human papilloma virus (9vHPV) and tetanus, diphtheria, and acellular pertussis - inactivated polio vaccine [adsorbed, reduced antigen(s) content] (Tdap-IPV) vaccines (Group 3). - the antibody response of meningococcal serogroup C measured by hSBA and serum bactericidal assay using baby rabbit complement (rSBA), before vaccination and at Day 31 after vaccination with MenACYW Conjugate vaccine or Nimenrix® (Groups 1 and 2) according to MenC primed status. - the antibody response against antigens of 9vHPV and Tdap-IPV vaccines, before and 1 month following vaccination. - the safety profile in each group after each and any vaccination.
