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 demonstrate the safety and efficacy of TRx0237 in the treatment of patients with behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD).
Haemophilia is a disorder, usually genetic, affecting mostly male individuals, in which one of the proteins needed to form blood clots (FVIII) is missing or not present in sufficient levels. In a person with haemophilia, the clotting process is much slower and the person experiences bleeding episodes that can result in serious problems and potential disability. The current haemophilia standard of care is to maintain FVIII activity level above 1%. Sometimes, patients can develop antibodies (so called "inhibitors") against FVIII and it is no longer effective at controlling bleeds. Bleeds in these patients are currently treated using other proteins involved in the clotting process. The purpose of this study is to investigate how effectively BAY86-6150 may stop acute bleeds in "inhibitor" patients. This study consists of two parts, A and B. The purpose of part A is to find the most effective yet tolerable out of four doses of BAY86-6150 with regard to efficacy and safety (dose-finding part). Part A is expected to last 9 - 29 months. The purpose of part B is to confirm efficacy and safety of the dose found in part A in all participating patients (confirmatory part). Part B is expected to last 12-32 months. Approximately 60 male subjects 12 to 62 years-of-age with moderate or severe haemophilia A or B, with inhibitors to FVIII or FIX, who have had 4 or more bleeding episodes in the last 6 months, will participate in this study. Patient's bleeds will be treated with BAY86-6150 and with a rescue medication if no response is made to BAY86-6150. Patients will attend the treatment centre at regular intervals and be required to keep an electronic diary.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of different doses and schedules of AZD5363, when in combination with paclitaxel, in treatment of patients with advanced or metastatic breast cancer. Also to investigate a selected dose and schedule of AZD5363 in combination with paclitaxel vs. paclitaxel in combination with placebo in treatment of patients with estrogen receptor-positive advanced or metastatic breast cancer, including a subgroup who have the phosphoinositide-3-kinase, catalytic, alpha polypeptide (PIK3CA) tumour mutation.
Fibered confocal fluorescence microscopy (FCFM) (CellvizioR Lung, MaunaKea Technologies, France) could potentially provide diagnostic information on fibrosis and inflammation of the distal air spaces associated with diffuse parenchymal lung diseases without the need for lung biopsies, thereby fulfilling the gap in the investigators current medical practice of a minimally invasive procedures with few complications and a high diagnostic fidelity. In patients scheduled for bronchoscopy as part of regular clinical care/diagnostic workup, the investigators will offer the patient concurrent FCFM imaging to be performed during the bronchoscopic procedure. The investigators aim to identify and catalogue distinct and discriminating features seen on images obtained from fibered confocal fluorescence microscopy in this group of patients, and to correlate these findings with specific high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) features and pathological findings if available. Eventually the investigators hope to create diagnostic criteria for fibered confocal fluorescence microscopy image interpretation of specific diffuse parenchymal lung disease entities.
This is a pilot clinical trial to assess the feasibility and efficacy of expanding umbilical cord blood derived blood stem cells for transplantation using a combination of chemical factors and stromal co-culture. Bone marrow (BM) mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) will be obtained from a separate bone marrow donor. One cord blood unit will be expanded by this method while another cord blood unit will be infused without manipulation. The expanded cord blood unit will help boost the initial recovery of blood counts after transplantation, though it is expected that the unexpanded cord blood unit will provide the cells which will lead to long term engraftment of blood stem cells. A third cord blood unit will be identified for standby should the cord blood unit expansion fail.
To collect data of all patients who have undergone Endobronchial ultrasound for diagnosis or staging of suspected lung cancer
Asthma is a heterogenous disease. Different patients have different presentations, course of disease and response to treatment. The investigators would like to study our population of more severe asthma and find out about their profile - demographic, clinical and inflammatory.
This study will evaluate the influence of total atherosclerotic burden assessed by 3-vessel fractional flow reserve (FFR) on the clinical outcomes of the patients with multi-vessel disease. For this purpose, the clinical data of the patients with 3-vessel intermediate coronary artery disease, whose FFR was measured at all 3-vessels due to their own clinical needs, will be analyzed.
This is a Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Phase 1b Clinical Study to Evaluate the Activity, Pharmacokinetics, Safety and Tolerability of Celgosivir in Adults with Confirmed Dengue Fever.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of advanced quantitative mass spectometry (Super SILAC) as a discovery platform to uncover novel protein biomarkers in tumor and to compare the protein profile between different subtypes of breast cancer (ER positive, HER2 positive, triple negative). A maximum of 100 breast tumor specimens will be obtained from the NUHS Tissue repository, comprising approximately equal proportion of ER positive, HER2 positive, and triple negative tumors. Samples will be analyzed using advanced Mass Spectrometry (Super SILAC) as a discovery platform to identify novel protein biomarkers that may be important in cancer. DNA and RNA will also be extracted from tumor samples for correlative analysis with the proteomics data. Genomics and proteomics data will be correlated with clinical data including treatment response and survival data. Importance of proposed research to science or medicine:Identification of tumor biomarkers may allow better prognostication, follow-up, and selection of treatment for cancer patients in the future. Potential benefits and risks: No direct benefit to the patient. Risk to the subjects is minimal as there is no direct patient contact, and analysis is done on previously donated tumor samples. Patients have previously provided consent to donate their samples for research into the NUHS Tissue Repository. Novel tumor biomarkers that determine tumor biology, including prognosis and treatment sensitivity, may be detectable using the novel advanced quantitative mass spectromy method (Super SILAC). Different subtypes of breast cancers will have different proteomic profiles analyzed using super SILAC.
