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 determine the clinical safety and efficacy of the EndoGlide as a donor insertion device in DSAEK surgery. The investigators hypotheses is that the Endoglide will cause less endothelial damage compared to the investigators previous technique of glide insertion but will have the same low complication rate as the previous device. Hence the investigators aim to evaluate the surgical efficacy of the EndoGlide to enable consistent double coiling of the donor lenticule in DSAEK surgery with minimal endothelial touch. Evaluate ease of insertion of the EndoGlide through a 4 to 4.5mm scleral tunnel wound. Evaluate ability of the EndoGlide to consistently effect complete wound sealing, so as to stabilize anterior chamber with an AC maintainer in position. Evaluate ease of donor pull-through from the EndoGlide chamber into the AC and to evaluate spontaneous uncoiling of the donor in the AC. Evaluate clinical efficacy and safety outcomes in EndoGlide assisted DSAEK surgery in study patients with corneal decompensation requiring DSAEK surgery, in terms of postoperative visual acuity, primary graft failure rate, donor dislocation rate, endothelial cell loss, and deturgescence of the host cornea and donor lenticule as measured by corneal thickness parameters with the Visante AS-OCT. The investigators will perfprm a prospective Phase II clinical trial using the EndoGlide for donor insertion in 100 corneal patients referred to the SNEC Corneal Clinics of the study investigators with moderate degrees of corneal decompensation from a variety of disorders which require DSAEK corneal transplantation surgery, with or without concurrent cataract surgery, to restore visual acuity.
Several methods have been developed to address and reduce preexisting astigmatism. The refractive results associated with the use of toric IOLs are likely to be more predictable. Other advantages of toric IOL include absence of need for any additional astigmatic correction procedure during cataract surgery, faster visual recovery as well as the reversibility of the procedure. There has not been any trial carried out to evaluate the results of toric IOL in either the investigators local population or in East Asia. Hence, the investigators set out to evaluate and compare the efficacy, safety, predictability and stability of the STAAR and Alcon toric IOL in Asian eyes.
Accuracy of posttraumatic orbital reconstruction of the medial orbital wall and/or floor is better with preoperatively preformed orbital implants than with non-preformed orbital implants.
This primary purpose of this study is the evaluation of the immunological persistence following completion of the 3-dose primary vaccination course with either a clinical or a commercial lot of pneumococcal conjugate vaccine GSK1024850A in study NCT00808444. In addition, the study will also assess the safety, reactogenicity and immunogenicity of a fourth dose of pneumococcal conjugate vaccine GSK1024850A (commercial lot) when co-administered with Infanrix-IPV/Hib at 18-21 months of age in children primed in study NCT00808444. The primary vaccination study was conducted in Malaysia and Singapore. The booster vaccination study will not be performed in Malaysia since the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine GSK1024850A has been registered in September 2009. However, subjects in Malaysia will be offered a booster dose of the commercial pneumococcal conjugate vaccine licensed in Malaysia and Infanrix-IPV/Hib vaccine during the second year of life according to the nationally recommended regimen. Administration of the booster dose will be outside the set-up of a clinical trial. Hence no data will be collected, no blood samples will be taken in Malaysia.
Hypothesis: Polycaprolactone / Tricalcium Phosphate Orbital (PCL / TCP) Implant is as effective in the reconstruction of the Orbital walls as Titanium Mesh implant. In this study we will be conducting a randomised trial to compare implants made of 2 materials for Orbital reconstruction - Polycaprolactone / Tricalcium Phosphate (PCL / TCP) - Titanium Patients to be recruited : - 80 randomised equally into the 2 groups - age range: 21 - 70 - includes orbital wall defects from trauma, after osteotomies - excludes patients with Diabetes Mellitus, known allergies to polycaprolactone & its analogues, know allergies to Tricalcium Phosphate & its analogues, infections generalised & around the orbital region Trial Duration: April 2010 - March 2015 Follow up: - postoperative 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months - Computer Tomographic (CT) scan of Orbits immediate postoperative and at 12 months appointment
This was an observational, prospective, multicentric study conducted in a cohort of subjects with type 2 diabetes and prescribed with Glucophage XR therapy from hospitals or clinics in Hong Kong, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Philippines and Singapore. Glucophage XR is being used in the Asia Pacific region for the treatment of subjects with type 2 diabetes. This study was designed to provide information on the day to-day experience of using Glucophage XR in the management of subjects with type 2 diabetes and its use in routine clinical practice in Asia Pacific region.
Long-term, single-arm, multicenter, open-label extension, Phase 3 study, to evaluate the safety and tolerability of ACT-293987 in patients with PAH who participated in the double-blind study AC-065A302 (GRIPHON)
This is a multicentric, prospective, observational study on the use of Cetrotide to control the endogenous gonadotrophin levels in Gonal-f stimulated ART treatment cycles in the Asia-Pacific region. The study plans to enrol approximately 1800-2000 subjects over a 9-month period at each participating centre. This observational study is initiated to collect information on the use of Cetrotide (GnRH antagonist) in ART cycles in routine practice across the Asia-Pacific region. The information will allow a better understanding of the current ovarian stimulation regimens that involve Cetrotide in the control of the endogenous gonadotrophin concentrations. The collection of live birth data, though a challenging task, as a secondary endpoint will allow the study to show valuable information on the final objective of ART. To minimize the potential variability due to the different ovarian stimulation agents, the study is to include cycles treated with Gonal-f (recombinant human FSH) since this agent is widely available in the region.
At present, triple therapy is recommended by various guidelines for the treatment of Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori) infection. Recent studies have shown increasing resistance of H.pylori to commonly used antibiotics used in triple therapy. This study explores a non-antibiotic treatment regime for H.pylori that uses lauric acid as the primary anti-microbial agent. The study hypothesis is that Lauric acid works synergistically with omeprazole following administration of a mucolytic agent to kill H.pylori topically in the stomach.
This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of Cyclosporine Ophthalmic Emulsion 0.05% (RESTASIS®) in patients with primary pterygium (abnormal growth on surface of eye).
