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 investigators hope to learn if Letrozole is effective and safe in improving severe male infertility by increasing testosterone, decreasing oestradiol and stimulating sperm production thereby improving sperm motility (movement) and concentration. The study is being conducted because Letrozole is not yet proven to be a standard treatment in subjects with absent or very low sperm counts. The investigators are hoping to determine whether Letrozole is equal or superior to no treatment.
The objectives of this study are to examine the effects of ethnicity, gender, and proton pump inhibitor (PPI, omeprazole), on the human gut microbiome. The investigators hypothesize that PPI therapy might perturb microbial communities and alter the gut microbiome. Young, healthy subjects of Chinese, Malay and Indian ancestry, were enrolled. They were required to provide a baseline stool sample (Day 1) and were then given a course of omeprazole at therapeutic dose (20 mg daily) for a duration of 7 days. Stool samples were collected again on Day 7 and Day 14 (one week after stopping omeprazole). The DNA samples were subjected to 16S ribosomal ribonucleic acid (rRNA) sequencing.
The purpose of this multi-center event-driven study in participants with anemia associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD) to evaluate the safety and efficacy of daprodustat.
The WristBot constitutes a comprehensive, integrated robotic system for the early diagnosis and rehabilitation of sensory and fine motor dysfunction to neurological or orthopedic disease.
The purpose of this multi-center event-driven study in non-dialysis (ND) participants with anemia associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of daprodustat compared to darbepoetin alfa.
This study examines the metabolic effects of 3 possible test meals (Oleogel) and/or 3 possible test meals (Grass Jelly). The participants will have the option to voluntarily choose which study part(s) to participate. This study will be evaluated on 40 healthy Chinese male subjects from the general public over a period of one year.
The proposed study will seek to evaluate the prevalence and the progression of vascular calcification in a cohort of maintenance hemodialysis patients in Asian population. It will also evaluate the efficacy of vitamin K 2 supplementation in reducing the progression of vascular calcification in this group of patients. This will be a single-center randomized, prospective and open-label interventional clinical trial of end stage renal failure patients on hemodialysis.Primary outcome will be absolute difference in coronary artery calcium (CAC) score at 18-month between control and intervention arms. Secondary outcomes will be to compare absolute difference in aortic valve calcification, percentage of patients with regression of coronary artery calcification of at least 10%, absolute difference in aortic and systemic arterial stiffness, mortality from any cause and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) over the same period.
The study will be a pilot interventional case series aiming to treat 30 patients with Femtosecond Laser-assisted Pterygium Surgery (FLAPS). All patients included will undergo FLAPS in one eye. All procedures will be performed in SNEC by fully qualified surgeons. The doctor is informed of the procedure on the day of.
Research indicates that up to two-thirds of patients with advanced cancer experience significant symptom burden (e.g., anxiety and depression, pain, fatigue), yet these symptoms are not adequately addressed. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) protocols designed to teach patients strategies to increase their sense of self-efficacy to manage symptoms may be helpful in alleviating multiple cancer-related symptoms. The efficacy of CBT protocols for reducing distinct symptoms in early-stage breast cancer has been shown; however the role of CBT protocols for multiple symptoms in late-stage cancer is less clear. The current study aims to investigate the feasibility and acceptability as well as obtain an initial estimate of efficacy of a novel, cross-cultural CBT intervention that addresses multiple symptoms in advanced breast cancer patients. The target outcomes of intervention will be reduction in symptoms of anxiety and depression, pain, and fatigue. A randomized controlled design will compare patients receiving a CBT protocol to a waitlist control in both Singapore and US patients. The larger goal of this collaborative effort is to determine the scalability of such an intervention that can potentially provide needed symptom burden relief to advanced cancer patients.
The main purpose of this study is to determine whether nivolumab + chemotherapy is effective as compared to chemotherapy in the treatment of patients with EGFR mutation, NSCLC who failed first line (1L) or second-line (2L) EGFR TKI therapy.
