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.
Retrospective data in children with dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) and dengue shock syndrome (DSS), and in adults with dengue fever (DF), suggested a lack of benefit from prophylactic platelet transfusion for severe thrombocytopenia in dengue patients without bleeding. However, in Taiwan and Singapore, platelet transfusion was given to 13-50% of hospitalised dengue patients. This is a prospective randomised study to examine the safety and efficacy of prophylactic platelet transfusion in adults with dengue and severe thrombocytopenia without bleeding. The hypotheses are: 1. Prophylactic platelet transfusion is safe in hospitalised dengue patients with severe thrombocytopenia. 2. Prophylactic platelet transfusion is effective in preventing bleeding in hospitalised dengue patients with severe thrombocytopenia.
The purpose of the 12-week core study was to demonstrate that canakinumab given upon acute gout flares relieves the signs and symptoms and prevents recurrence of gout flares in patients with frequent flares of gout for whom non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and/ or colchicine are contraindicated, not tolerated, or ineffective. The efficacy of canakinumab was compared to the corticosteroid triamcinolone acetonide. The purpose of the first 12-week extension study was to collect additional safety, tolerability and efficacy data in patients who have completed the core study CACZ885H2356. The purpose of the second 48 week open-label extension study was to collect additional long-term safety and tolerability data in patients who have completed the first extension study CACZ885H2356E1.
This will be a phase I/II clinical trial testing the combination of sorafenib and AZD6244 in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma with Childs A liver cirrhosis. The aim of the phase I portion is to determine appropriate dose of this drug combination. The phase 2 study will look at effectiveness and safety of this drug combination
The purpose of this study is to determine whether nilotinib is efficacious in the treatment of metastatic and/or inoperable melanoma harboring a c-Kit mutation.
This study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of loteprednol etabonate [LE] and tobramycin ophthalmic suspension versus tobramycin and dexamethasone ophthalmic suspension in the treatment of ocular inflammation associated with blepharokeratoconjunctivitis (BKC).
The investigators hypothesize that the concentration-time profile of raltegravir is different in cells than that in plasma. Intracellular raltegravir concentrations may be higher and its half-life longer than in plasma. This may explain the efficacy of raltegravir despite variable plasma concentrations.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that CNTO 328 when administered in combination with best supportive care (BSC) is superior to BSC in terms of durable tumor and symptomatic response (complete response or partial response) among patients with Multicentric Castleman's Disease.
The ABSORB EXTEND trial is to continue the assessment of the safety and performance of the ABSORB Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffold (BVS) System ABSORB BVS is currently in development at Abbott Vascular.
Panobinostat (LBH589) is a highly potent pan-deacetylase inhibitor (pan-DACi), inclusive of HDAC6, which disrupts aggresome function, promotes accumulation of cytotoxic misfolded protein aggregates and triggers myeloma cell death. Combination of pan-DAC and protease inhibition by co-treatment with panobinostat (PAN) and bortezomib (BTZ) has demonstrated synergistic cytotoxicity in vitro and in vivo in pre-clinical experiments. Furthermore, clinical experience in advanced multiple myeloma (MM) patients treated by oral panobinostat and i.v bortezomib ± dexamethasone showed very encouraging results for efficacy and manageable toxicity profile. Given the medical need for improved treatment strategies for patients with previously treated and relapsed MM, the purpose of this prospective, multinational, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group Phase III study is to compare the results in progression-free survival of 2 combination therapies, panobinostat with bortezomib and dexamethasone or placebo with bortezomib and dexamethasone, in patients with previously treated MM whose disease has recurred or progressed.
The primary objective of this study is to examine effects of fosbretabulin tromethamine (fosbretabulin) on PCV as reflected by a change from baseline in the number of polypoid lesions on indocyanine green angiography (ICGA).
