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 aim of the study is to assess the efficacy and safety of different doses of BAY63-2521 given orally for 12 weeks, in patients with symptomatic Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH).
1. To estimate the effects of multiple doses of PD 0332334 on the elimination of a single dose of metformin from the body 2. To estimate the effects of multiple doses of metformin on the elimination of a single dose of PD 0332334 from the body 3. To evaluate the safety and tolerability when PD 0332334 and metformin are administered at the same time.
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common cause of cancer mortality in men and women in Singapore.Chemotherapy and biologically targeted agents can extend survival only modestly for these patients; therefore, discovery of novel ways to prolong the disease course is a top research priority. The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling pathway plays a central role in the neoplastic transformation of NSCLC and promotes cancer cell survival, metastasis, and angiogenesis. The predominance of EGFR signaling in NSCLC makes the pathway an attractive candidate for the development of targeted therapeutics. Over the last three years, the FDA has approved two drugs for salvage treatment of NSCLC, gefitinib (Iressa ®, formerly known as ZD1839) and erlotinib (Tarceva ®, formerly known as OSI-774). Both are small molecule orally-bioavailable tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) of the EGFR TK domain, and have been shown to improve survival compared to placebo in asian patients when administered after failure of first or second line chemotherapy for advanced NSCLC.
The purpose of the present study is to demonstrate that the changes in the manufacturing process for the commercial lot of the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine GSK1024850A have no clinical impact and that the immune responses are non-inferior to the immune responses induced by the clinical lot. The study will be conducted in Singapore and Malaysia.
The objectives of this study are: To correlate pharmacokinetic parameters of raltegravir and midazolam with irinotecan (CPT-11) and its metabolite SN-38. To correlate the genotype of UGT1A1 of patients receiving CPT-11 chemotherapy with irinotecan and raltegravir pharmacokinetic parameters. To model pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic behaviour of CPT-11 in the study population.
The purposes of this study are: 1. To evaluate the long-term safety of dabigatran etexilate 2. To assess the effect of a knowledge translation intervention on patient outcomes
We hypothesize that Simvastatin administration would result in selective killing of the basal subtype of breast cancer, in particular, CD44+/CD24- breast cancer cells in primary tumor. We further hypothesize that tumor genomic changes would correlate with tumor response to Simvastatin. We are also looking to correlate Simvastatin biological effects with the expression pattern of initial status of primary tumor. In addition, we hypothesize that Simvastatin-induced tumor gene expression changes may correlate with tumor and plasma proteomics, peripheral blood mononuclear cell gene expression changes, and pharmacogenetics, and that these analyses may further refine the selection of patients most likely to benefit from Simvastatin.
This study will be conducted in male and female subjects aged 18 to 80 years, inclusive, with non-valvular AF and a CHADS2 Score of at least 1. Subjects will be treated on an outpatient basis. The subjects will be allocated randomly to the open-label warfarin or any double-blind DU-176b dosages. DU-176b will be administered orally for 12 weeks at two fixed doses. Warfarin will be used as active control. Warfarin dosing will be managed and monitored by the Investigator with the dose adjusted to achieve an INR of 2.0 to 3.0, inclusive. The primary endpoints are incidence of major, clinically relevant non-major and minor bleeding events (all bleeding).
The aim of this study is to investigate if electroencephalogram (EEG) biofeedback incorporating the use of video games is effective in improving inattentive symptoms in children with ADHD.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide, docetaxel, and doxorubicin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving combination chemotherapy before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. It is not yet known which chemotherapy regimen is more effective in treating breast cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying cyclophosphamide given together with docetaxel to see how well it works compared with cyclophosphamide given together with doxorubicin in treating women with newly diagnosed breast cancer that can be removed by surgery.
