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.
Darolutamide is a drug that has a proven survival benefit in non-metastatic (M0) castrate resistant prostate cancer when using conventional imaging. However, it is estimated that >90% of patients have disease apparent when using PSMA PET. This study investigates the use of local consolidation radiotherapy in this cohort of men.
The overarching hypothesis of this study is that the kidney and the skin form an integrative network for water conservation, where Na+ storage is utilized to prevent body water loss, even at the expense of increased cardiovascular risk. The aim of this project is to characterise skin and muscle Na+ storage in a cohort designed to prospectively measure cardiovascular outcomes in Singaporeans, in order to determine whether humans with increased tissue Na+ storage have increased cardiovascular risk. To gain a better understanding of the mechanisms behind Na+ storage, the investigators will also test the hypothesis that participants with mutations of the skin protein filaggrin, who have increased water loss through the skin, will have increased skin Na+ storage and higher blood pressure levels.
This is a first-in-human study to evaluate the feasibility, safety and preliminary antitumor efficacy of autologous T cells genetically engineered with a novel B-cell Maturation Antigen (BCMA)-specific chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) and manufactured with a new process. CAR-T cells will be investigated as a single agent in multiple myeloma
This study aims to explore a novel objective measurement for endometriosis-related pain. A variety of pain symptoms are associated with endometriosis, including dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, dysuria, dyschezia and chronic pelvic pain. However, a clear characterization of pain typology and topology in populations with endometriosis, other gynecologic pathology, or a normal pelvis is lacking. Understanding the precise nature of the relationship between pain and endometriosis is important for the clinical management of affected women, given the body of evidence indicating that medical and surgical management for pain associated with endometriosis has been shown to be effective. Evaluating the relationship between pain and endometriosis, however, is challenging given that pain is difficult to measure and the mechanism by which endometriosis causes pain is not well understood. While previous studies have provided important data on the incidence of pelvic pain and endometriosis, little research has been done to assess both the typology and topology of pelvic pain, pain beyond the pelvis, endometriosis diagnosis, or severity of pain using operative findings and a standardized classification system.
To determine the improvement in patient adherence to topical ocular hypotensive therapy by introducing a personalised illustrated medication reference chart and tele-reminder.
Robots are commonly used in many settings to help with transportation needs, reduce human injuries, and assisting clinicians during surgeries. These applications could provide direct benefits to patients in the clinical rehabilitation field. In this study, the feasibility of 2 CARE robot prototypes in facilitating dependent transfers and assisting patient mobility in their daily living activities will be studied.
Mycobacterium abscessus (MABS) is a group of rapid-growing, multi-drug resistant non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) causing infections in humans. MABS pulmonary disease (MABS-PD) can result in significant morbidity, increased healthcare utilisation, accelerated lung function decline, impaired quality of life, more challenging lung transplantation, and increased mortality. While the overall numbers affected is small, the prevalence of infections is increasing worldwide. The Finding the Optimal Regimen for Mycobacterium abscessus Treatment (FORMaT) trial aims to produce high quality evidence for the best treatment regimens to maximise health outcomes and minimise toxicity and treatment burden, as well as developing biomarkers (serology, gene expression signatures, and radiology) to guide decisions for starting treatment and measuring disease severity in patients with MABS PD.
The study is conducted to investigate the effects of priming different cultural orientations on participants' decisions on whether to donate their organs, in an opt-out donation system scenario where the default is a presumed consent on the part of the individual.
OPTIMUM study aims to use the telehealth-enabled chronic disease management programme for individuals with chronic diseases to provide timely intervention to prevent disease deterioration, increase compliance to treatment regimen (e.g. medication), and most importantly, engage participants to better manage their own care.
The investigators plan to conduct a cross-sectional survey to examine how social media use during COVID-19 relates to: (1) information management, (2) assessment of the situation, and (3) affect.
