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 will determine the safety and efficacy of expanded activated autologous NK cells administered after Trastuzumab in patients with HER2-positive breast or gastric cancer. It will also provide valuable insights of the role of NK cell infusions in adult solid tumors.
To determine whether central sensitization is a mechanism of CPSP (chronic postsurgical pain) in women who will develop CPSP compared to women with no CPSP after hysterectomy. This mechanism is illustrated by a higher pain score in experimental pain models such as tonic heat stimulation, increased evoked mechanical temporal summation and increased wound hyperalgesia.
This multi-center, randomized, double-blind, 3-arm, parallel-group, placebo-controlled study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of RG1662 in adults and adolescents with Down syndrome. Subjects will be randomized to receive RG1662 either at low or high dose or placebo orally twice daily for 26 weeks.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate how safe LY2969822 (study drug) is and whether it causes any side effects. The study will also measure how much of the study drug gets into the blood stream and how long it takes the body to get rid of the study drug. This is the first time that this study drug is being given to participants. This study is for research purposes only and is not intended to treat any medical condition.
Worldwide, central nervous system infections such as inflammation of brain (encephalitis), inflammation of meninges (meningitis) and sudden onset of weakness of muscles which maybe infectious in origin result in significant illness and death and healthcare costs. Vast majority of central nervous system infections remain without an identifiable cause. There is also concern about new and emerging infections. This study thus intends to fill in the gaps in knowledge with regards to central nervous system infections in Singapore to give a thorough description of burden of causes of central nervous system infections and detection of outbreaks of new pathogens. Patients suspected of central nervous system infection will be recruited from 5 restructured Singapore hospitals and their blood and other clinical specimens will be sent for testing. Patients will also be followed up to assess long term outcomes and socio-economic costs of these infections. This will help clinicians, policymakers and public health officials in estimating financial and societal costs of CNs infections in Singapore.
This research focuses on health needs, constructed meanings of health, and meaningful health promotion tactics among women who are heart disease patients. Women with heart disease are considered as a highly vulnerable group for cardiovascular disease-related deaths in Singapore. Because the culture-centered approach has previously demonstrated that community-driven participatory processes of the Culture-Centered Approach (CCA) foster positive changes in health outcomes, this project highlights involvement of community members in developing effective health promotion regarding heart health. Rather than relying solely on interventions created by outside experts, The investigators aim to engage in Heart Health promotion that is meaningful through the involvement of these community members in processes of change. Thus, the investigators seek to engage these women who are heart disease patients in developing a heart health intervention that is beneficial to them. Through in-depth interviews, focus groups, the formation of advisory boards, and community-wide dialogue workshops led by these women, the investigators seek to identify specific heart health promoting strategies and tactics that are meaningful to the lived experiences of the women. As part of the overall solution, this project will work alongside the Women's Heart Health Clinic to create training materials and disseminate findings based on our analysis. Methodology: As far as the methodology, the investigators are using the Culture-Centered Approach (CCA) as well as using biomedical measures for evaluation. First, an advisory board will be formed to inform each step of our methodology and data analysis. First, the investigators will randomize one group of patients into the control group and one group into the experimental group. The investigators will conduct baseline measures for both groups. For the control group, the investigators will measure biomedical data at 3 times (3 months, 6 months, and 12 months). For the experimental group, the investigators will create advisory board that will consist of approx. 4 physicians and 6 patients. In-depth interviews will be conducted with women who have experienced CVD and who live in Singapore. Each interview will last a maximum of 90 minutes. Interviewees will be asked questions about how they understand health, their health experiences, and the obstacles they face in accessing health care in Singapore. Data from the interviews will be analyzed with the advisory board and will be used to guide discussion for the focus groups of women in the experimental group. Focus group sessions, each lasting a maximum of 90 minutes, will be conducted with the patients in the experimental group. In each session, the participants will collectively develop potential solutions for the issues that emerged during the earlier interviews.During the one-year period of study, a participant in the experimental group can participate in one or many of the one-on-one interviews, focus groups, or other activities planned based on the feedback of the participants. Based on the information given in the interviews, advisory board meetings, and focus groups, an intervention will be designed and carried out for the experimental group. This group will also be evaluated at 3 time points (3 months, 6 months, and 12 months) in addition to baseline.
This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single ascending dose study will assess the safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of RO6864018 in healthy, male, Asian and Caucasian participants. Participants will be enrolled in cohorts and randomized 8:2 to receive a single oral administration of RO6864018 or placebo. Total study duration for each participant is up to 9 weeks.
This is an Multinational, Multicenter, Observational Study to evaluate Adherence and Long Term Outcomes of Therapy in pediatric subjects using easypod™ electromechanical device for growth hormone treatment and to assess the level of adherence of subject receiving SAIZEN® via easypod™.
Treatment of male pattern hair loss (MPHL) or androgenetic alopecia (AGA) with 5α-reductase inhibitor (5-ARIs) has been associated with sexual dysfunction including erectile dysfunction and loss of libido. This will be a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study to assess the impact of dutasteride treatment on sexual function as well as subject satisfaction with hair growth and quality of life in men with AGA. This study will consist of a Screening Visit, a 4-week Placebo Run-in Phase, a Treatment Phase of 48 weeks, and a subsequent Follow-up Visit after 4 weeks. The treatment phase will include 24 weeks of double-blind, placebo controlled treatment and 24 weeks of open-label treatment with dutasteride. An extended 6-month Follow-up Visit will be conducted for any individuals with a change in erectile function at the end of treatment.
This is a bioequivalence study to evaluate the bioequivalence of RIN 150 against individual reference drugs in healthy volunteers.
