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 is to compare the efficacy of ponatinib and imatinib in patients with newly diagnosed chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in the chronic phase.
This is a pilot study to test feasibility and safety of collection, preparation and infusion of a baby's own (autologous) umbilical cord blood during the first 3 days of age if the baby is born with signs of brain injury. The cord blood used is fresh (not frozen and then thawed).
This study assessed the efficacy and safety of secukinumab in patients with active ankylosing spondylitis who were tolerant to or had an inadequate response to NSAIDs, DMARDs and / or TNFα inhibitor
The immediate release (IR) formulation of retigabine has been shown to be superior to placebo as adjunctive therapy in 3 adequate and well-controlled studies in subjects with drug-resistant partial-onset seizures (POS) who had previously failed to respond to two or more antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) and were still having seizures despite current treatment with 1, 2, or 3 AEDs. However, of 1244 subjects randomly assigned to treatment in these 3 clinical studies, only 10 were Asian subjects and only 5 of these Asian subjects were randomly assigned to treatment with retigabine. Therefore, this Phase III study is being conducted to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability, and health outcomes of retigabine, at doses of 900 mg/day and 600 mg/day, compared with placebo in adult Asian subjects with drug-resistant POS.
Objective of this study is to investigate the intracameral level of ganciclovir following topical application of 0.15% ganciclovir gel (VIRGAN©) for Cytomegalovirus (CMV) anterior uveitis and endothelitis. Thirty patients who are diagnosed with CMV anterior segment infection, either uveitis or endothelitis, who have a positive aqueous real time PCR (RT-PCR) and/or positive tetraplex PCR for CMV and have not had any form of ganciclovir treatment in the past 1 month, will be recruited in the study after taking an informed consent. with active CMV anterior segment infection confirmed by a positive aqueous real time PCR (RT-PCR) and have not had any form of ganciclovir treatment in the past 1 month were recruited in the study. Patients were given 0.15% ganciclovir gel 1cc 5 times a day for 6 weeks. Following 6 weeks of treatment, tears and aqueous samples will be collected. Aqueous will be sent for RT-PCR for CMV status. Ganciclovir drug level in both tears and aqueous will be measured by HPLC method. Clinically, degree of the intraocular inflammation, Intraocular pressure (IOP) and central corneal thickness (CCT) will be recorded at baseline and post-treatment.
The purpose of this Phase 1 study is to characterize the pharmacokinetic (PK) and tolerability of oral ixazomib (MLN9708) when administered in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone in adult Asian participants with relapsed and/or refractory multiple myeloma.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of ustekinumab and CNTO 1959 in reducing the signs and symptoms of disease in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) despite concomitant methotrexate (MTX) therapy and to evaluate the safety of ustekinumab and CNTO 1959 in this population.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) stands out among chronic diseases with its high and rising prevalence and mortality, poor quality of life, high re-hospitalization rates and societal burden of care. Current therapeutic and management practices are generally met with limited success. Research in recent years have highlighted the high level of psychiatric co-morbidity in COPD patients, and the major prognostic significance of anxiety/depression in COPD outcomes such as re-hospitalization, smoking cessation, quality of life, and survival. This suggests that addressing psychiatric and psycho-social aspects of care prominent in COPD patients may have strongly positive impact on outcomes, but the available evidence of effectiveness is limited. The primary aim of the proposed research is to evaluate the effectiveness of a holistic disease management paradigm of psychiatric liaison consultation (CL) that integrates psychiatric and respiratory care to improve outcomes for COPD patients. This integrated psychiatric consultation liaison (IPCL) management paradigm includes the routine screening and structured collaborative care of anxiety and major depressive symptoms and depressive/anxiety disorder in COPD patients. We postulate that the IPCL care paradigm would reduce mood symptoms, increase smoking quit rates, reduce symptom burden and functional disability, and improve quality of life, while reducing rehospitalization, emergency department (ED) and unscheduled physician visits. A secondary aim is to evaluate its cost effectiveness by concurrently collecting resource utilization data.
i. To determine whether Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy (CLE) with optical biopsy and targeted mucosal biopsy improves the diagnostic yield of gastric IM/IN/CA in high risk populations compared to WLE with standard biopsy protocol. ii. To determine whether CLE with optical biopsy and targeted biopsy, as compared to WLE with standard biopsy, can reduce the number of biopsies needed per patient for detection of gastric IM/IN/carcinoma without the loss of corresponding diagnostic yield. iii. To compare the sensitivity and specificity of CLE with WLE for the detection of gastric IM/IN/CA.
This study aims to compare the effects of 8 months of diet modification, with or without exercise, on weight loss, sexual, urinary and endothelial function, systemic inflammation and quality of life in obese men.
