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 phase II trial is studying how well Akt inhibitor MK2206 works in treating patients with recurrent or metastatic head and neck cancer. Akt inhibitor MK2206 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
RATIONALE: It is not yet know whether higher per daily radiation therapy is equally as effective as standard per daily radiation therapy in treating breast cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial studies how well an accelerated course of higher per daily radiation therapy with concomitant boost works compared to standard per daily radiation therapy with a sequential boost in treating patients with early-stage breast cancer that was removed by surgery.
Among antidepressant treatments, ECT stands as the most effective in treating acute depression. However, patient concerns with the cognitive side effects of ECT have encouraged the development of new and more focal forms of brain stimulation such as transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS). However, not all patients may respond to this treatment in the way that it is currently administered and this has raised interest in finding alternative, possibly more optimal ways of administering tDCS. This study will investigate whether tDCS stimulation using an alternative electrode montage has antidepressant effects. Further sessions of tDCS, spaced less frequently, will be trialed for maintenance treatment. Mood, cognitive test performance and biomarkers will be measured periodically in the duration of the trial.
The purpose of this study is to determine if denosumab is non-inferior to zoledronic acid in the treatment of bone disease from multiple myeloma.
This study aims to examine the efficacy of a brain-computer interface system for the treatment of inattentive symptoms of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The investigators hypothesis is that children with ADHD receiving treatment with the BCI-based training will improve to a greater extent than the control group. Additionally, the investigators are also conducting an fMRI study involving interested participants, to elucidate the neural mechanisms underlying any behavioural improvement. This is necessary to help the investigators gain a better picture of brain correlates related to ADHD and understand how the intervention can affect the brain.
The purpose of this study is: 1. To determine the optimal recommended phase II dose of two investigational study drugs, LBH589 and RAD001, given in combination in all solid tumors (With enrichment for EBV-Driven tumors). 2. To determine the pharmacokinetic profile of RAD001 in combination with two schedules of LBH589. 3. To assess the preliminary anti-tumor activity of RAD001 and LBH589. This study will also be exploring the hypothesis that HDACi and mTOR inhibitors abrogate the effects of key viral proteins, and switch the virus from a latent proliferative phase to a lytic phase. Immunologic correlates will also be examined to ascertain T-cell subpopulations and expression of HLA class molecules. DCE-MRI will be subsequently employed in dose expansion to examine antiangiogenic effects.
The hypothesis of this study is that a radiotherapy dose of 36Gy in 12 fractions, which equates to a BED of 48.6Gy, increases the response rates of symptom relief compared to historical controls.
This phase II trial studies how well pazopanib hydrochloride works in treating patients with advanced or progressive malignant pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma. Pazopanib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor.
The hypothesis of this study is that dose escalated intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) to a dose of 55Gy in 25# to primary rectal tumor concurrent with oral capecitabine results in an improved pathological response rate from 8% (German trial) to 25%.
This is a randomized controlled trial comparing the effectiveness of three hand hygiene protocols, during routine inpatient clinical care: Protocol 1: handrubbing with alcohol covering all hand surfaces in no particular order; Protocol 2: handrubbing with alcohol using the WHO standard 7-step technique; and Protocol 3: handwashing with chlorhexidine using the WHO standard 7-step technique. The main study hypothesis is that alcohol hand-rubbing covering all hand surfaces is not less effective in reducing bacterial hand contamination of healthcare staff than alcohol hand-rubbing using 7-step technique; and is more effective than chlorhexidine handwashing. The secondary study hypothesis is that time spent on alcohol hand-rubbing covering all hand surfaces is less than that required by the other 2 hand hygiene protocols respectively.
