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.
Incidence and risk factors for persistent post surgical pain after Caesarean section are investigated. Demographic, psychophysical testing and genetic screening factors are performed in the perioperative period. Phone survey is performed to investigate the incidence of persistent post surgical pain after Caesarean section.
This is a phase Ib study with the primary purpose is to estimate the MTD and/or RDE for the triple combination of PIM447, formerly LGH447, plus ruxolitinib and LEE011 as well as for the doublets, PIM447 plus ruxolitinib, and LEE011 plus ruxolitinib, in patients with myelofibrosis (MF). Each regimen will be assessed for safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamic effects, and preliminary anti-myelofibrosis activity, including changes in spleen volume, JAK2V617F allele burden, and hematologic response.
This is an exploratory Phase I study is to assess the safety and tolerability of the OXIRI regimen [oxaliplatin (O), xeloda (X) and irinotecan (I)] and to evaluate for preliminary evidence of efficacy, in patients with advanced and/or metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma. The investigators hypothesize that 2 of 3 weekly doses of oxaliplatin and genotype directed-dosing of irinotecan in combination with chronomodulated capecitabine (xeloda) administered continuously will be more tolerable than the FOLFIRINOX regimen (folinic acid, fluorouracil, irinotecan and oxaliplatin) while maintaining anti-tumour activity.
This randomized, open-label study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of atezolizumab (MPDL3280A) in combination with carboplatin + paclitaxel or carboplatin + nab-paclitaxel compared with treatment with carboplatin + nab-paclitaxel in chemotherapy-naive participants with Stage IV squamous NSCLC.
This randomized, open-label study evaluated the safety and efficacy of atezolizumab (an engineered anti-programmed death-ligand 1 [PD-L1] antibody) in combination with carboplatin+paclitaxel with or without bevacizumab compared with treatment with carboplatin+paclitaxel+bevacizumab in chemotherapy-naïve participants with Stage IV non-squamous NSCLC. Participants were randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to Arm A (Atezolizumab+Carboplatin+Paclitaxel), Arm B (Atezolizumab+Carboplatin+Paclitaxel+Bevacizumab), or Arm C (Carboplatin+Paclitaxel+Bevacizumab).
Animal studies suggest general anaesthetics harm the developing brain. It is unclear if these findings are relevant to humans but the issue has become a major concern. Recent data have found that monkeys exposed to anaesthesia as infants grow up to have slower learning than those not exposed. The aim of the TREX pilot study is to determine the feasibility of an alternative anaesthetic regimen for lower abdominal/lower extremity surgery in infants 1-12 months of age.
This study is a Phase III, randomised, open label, multi-centre study assessing the efficacy and safety of MEDI4736 (durvalumab) versus Standard of Care in NSCLC patients with PD-L1 positive tumours and the combination of MEDI4736 (durvalumab) plus tremelimumab (MEDI4736+treme) versus Standard of Care in NSCLC patients with PD-L1-negative tumours in the treatment of male and female patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC (Stage IIIB-IV), who have received at least 2 prior systemic treatment regimens including 1 platinum-based chemotherapy regimen for NSCLC. Patients with known EGFR (Epidermal growth factor receptor) tyrosine kinase (TK) activating mutations and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) rearrangements are not eligible for the study (prospective testing is not planned within this study). The Standard of Care options are: an EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (erlotinib [TARCEVA®]), gemcitabine or vinorelbine (NAVELBINE®)

Background Hepatic metastases of colorectal cancer (MCC) is quite common and is a major source of morbidity and mortality. There has been evidence to show that hepatic arterial chemoembolisation using DC beads (drug eluting beads, 100-300μm) loaded with irinotecan (DEBIRI) showed improved overall survival when compared to systemic therapy (FOLFIRI), but being larger they have their limitations. New 70-150μm beads are recently available and currently there is limited data concerning its use. Safety of these beads have not been tested in local patients. Hypothesis / Aim To study the safety and pharmacokinetics of the smaller 70-150μm DEBIRI in a pilot study of 5 patients. The smaller 70-150μm beads will be able to deliver a more consistent and higher dose to tumoral tissue with a smaller systemic dose. Being smaller and less embolic, it will also be better tolerated. Patients will also be genotyped for their UGT1A1*28 and UGT1A1*6 polymorphism status as the latter genotypes are associated with decreased clearance of irinotecan and SN-38 in Asian patients. Methods Single centre, pilot study, prospectively recruiting 5 patients with unilobar disease, refractory to systemic chemotherapy The primary endpoints: 1. establish safety and toxicity profile of the irinotecan loaded DEBIRI beads 2. establish pharmacokinetics and systemic exposure of irinotecan and its active metabolite, SN-38. The secondary outcome measurements: 1. the incidence and severity of adverse events, liver function parameters and laboratory abnormalities; 2. response rate, 3. progression free survival 4. overall survival Clinical Significance This treatment modality has the advantage of directly delivering irinotecan to the liver metastases from colorectal cancer. This local mode of drug delivery may result in a higher intratumoral drug concentration and rapid tumour shrinkage leading to downstaging of the hepatic metastatic lesions. These therapeutic outcomes may also downstage patients to hepatic resection.
This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of depatuxizumab mafodotin (ABT-414) alone or with temozolomide versus temozolomide or lomustine alone in adult participants with recurrent glioblastoma. The study also included a substudy to evaluate safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of ABT-414 in a pediatric population.
