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 overall purpose of this two-part study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of iptacopan (LNP023) in addition to standard of care treatment.
This study is an open-label, multicenter, Phase I/IIa, dose escalation, safety, and pharmacokinetics (PK) study of BNT142 followed by expansion cohorts in patients with Claudin 6 (CLDN6)-positive advanced tumors.
This study is carried out to find out the degree of pain relief achieved with standard treatment as steroid injection as well as its time to onset. It will recruit 50 subjects over a period of 18 months.
Clinical study to investigate the efficacy and safety of savolitinib in combination with osimertinib versus platinum-based doublet chemotherapy in participants with EGFR mutated, MET-overexpressed and/or amplified, locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC who have progressed on treatment with Osimertinib.
Ectopic fat is the accumulation of adipose tissue in anatomical sites not classically associated with fat storage - for example, in the liver and skeletal muscles. Excessive fat accumulation in liver cells, often diagnosed as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), is a precursor to a wide range of liver conditions and metabolic disorders. The usual standard of care for NAFLD is to advise weight loss through controlled diet and physical activity, but the outcome of weight management and treatment of NAFLD is highly variable. Diet interventions - such as the Mediterranean, ketogenic, paleo, and high-protein-low-carbohydrate diets - have shown varied benefits in the management of NAFLD. However, food-based interventions must align with cultural and regional preferences in food to succeed in making the modifications part of the habitual diet. A recent diet intervention study (Della Pepa et al., 2020) highlighted that the components of a diet, rather than its caloric content, play a greater role in achieving healthier outcomes. In this study, a multifactorial diet intervention using locally sourced and produced meals will be implemented with the aim of reducing elevated liver fat content in healthy women diagnosed with NAFLD. The study will also evaluate the effects of the proposed diet on the participants' metabolic health and describe potential changes in their gut microbiome signatures (via frequent stool samples). The dysregulation of the gut microbiota has been linked to the development of NAFLD and it is known that the composition of the gut microbiota could be modified by dietary intake. This study will investigate the association of gut microbiome signatures with elevated liver fat in Asian women and test whether the dietary intervention will modify their gut microbiota. Finally, ectopic fat in the liver is a highly prevalent condition worldwide but the cut-off values for NAFLD has been largely derived from studies performed in Western populations. This study seeks to cross examine the diagnostic ranges in various clinical assessments of NAFLD that commonly involve ultrasound spectroscopy (Fibroscan), fatty liver indexes (FLI) and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS). This effort seeks to derive appropriate cut-off values for NAFLD in Singaporean-Chinese women.
To understand the user perceptions of AI and non-AI-based mobile apps for weight management in people with overweight and obesity.
Infection with bacteria or fungi can be deadly. Often, these types of infections can lead to an increase in the severity of illness requiring intensive care unit (ICU) admission, prolonged duration of treatment and further risks associated with additional infections and superinfections. These are also called hospital acquired secondary infections. Patients who contract COVID-19 and require an ICU admission are at increased risk of contracting these secondary infections, and receive certain medications that can lower your body's immune response. In COVID-19 patients who require these treatments, it is unclear what affect these medications can have on developing an additional infection as well as the rate of recovery/survival. This study is evaluating the effect these medications have on the development of secondary infections and rate of survival of COVID-19 patients that have been admitted to ICUs.
This research is being done to see if using oral tacrolimus before endoscopy, can prevent pancreatitis that may occur after ERCP (a type of gastrointestinal endoscopy).
ACTION APAC is a cross-sectional, observational, descriptive, and exploratory survey-based study without collection of laboratory data. The study is not related to any specific treatment options or pharmaceutical product. Collection of data will be performed via quantitative online survey by a third-party vendor through existing databases/panels in APAC region. The goal of this study is to provide insights to drive awareness around the needs of People Living with Obesity (PLwO) and Health Care Professionals (HCPs) involved in obesity treatment and management.
This study consists of Dose escalation part and Expansion part. In Dose Escalation Part, the maximum tolerated dose of combination of pimitespib and imatinib in patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) who are judged to be refractory to imatinib, estimate the recommended dose, evaluate safety and pharmacokinetics, and observe the antitumor effect. Expansion part consists of 3 arms. In Arm A, the efficacy and safety will be evaluated, which of the combination of pimitespib and imatinib in patients with GIST who have failed imatinib at doses below the MTD determined in Dose Escalation Part. In Arm B, the efficacy and safety of pimitespib monotherapy will be evaluated and the therapeutic effect of imatinib administration after pimitespib will be evaluated in an exploratory manner. In Arm C, the efficacy and safety of sunitinib monotherapy will be evaluated as reference data.
