There are about 3709 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Thailand. 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.
HIV/Tuberculosis (TB) co-infection have profound effects on the host's immune system. TB is the most common cause of death in patients with HIV worldwide. Rifamycins (such as rifampicin [RIF]) are an important component of TB therapy because of their unique activity. The problem is that most protease inhibitors (PI) and non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTI) used to treat HIV have significant drug-drug interactions with RIF that can lead to reduced concentrations of these agents with risk of treatment failure or resistance. The non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) efavirenz (EFV) does not present the same significant drug interactions with RIF. EFV-based HIV treatment was tested in patients concomitantly treated with RIF-containing TB therapy, demonstrating that their co-administration can be used safely and effectively. However, the side effect profile of EFV overlaps with the RIF-containing TB regimens and makes the management of treatment toxicities very complex. Integrase inhibitors (INI), such as dolutegravir (DTG), may offer an important alternative to EFV-based therapy in TB coinfected patients. A Phase I drug-drug interaction study was conducted in healthy, HIV-seronegative subjects, and showed that DTG at 50 mg twice daily given together with RIF was well-tolerated and resulted in DTG concentrations similar to those of DTG 50 mg given once daily alone, which is the recommended dose for INI-naive patients. Therefore, ART regimens using DTG 50 mg twice daily may represent a new treatment option for TB-infected patients who require concurrent treatment for HIV infection. This is a Phase III b, randomized, open-label study describing the efficacy and safety of DTG and EFV-containing ART regimens in HIV/TB co-infected patients. This study is designed to assess the antiviral activity of DTG or efavirenz (EFV) ART-containing regimens through 48 weeks. A total of approximately 115 +/-5% subjects will be randomly assigned in a 3:2 ratio to DTG (approximately 69 subjects) and EFV (approximately 46 subjects), respectively. This study will include a Screening Period, a Randomized Phase (Day 1 to 48 weeks plus a 4-week extension), and a DTG Open-label extension (OLE). During the DTG OLE, subjects will be supplied with DTG until it is locally approved and commercially available, the subject no longer derives clinical benefit, or the subject meets a protocol-defined reason for discontinuation, which ever comes first.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the study drug known as LY2157299 in participants with hepatocellular carcinoma.
Atopic dermatitis is a chronic intermittent inflammatory skin disease. Currently, there are many cosmeceutical skin products in which their major action affects skin hydration and skin barrier function. In addition, there are some herbal medication remedies used for the treatment of skin diseases based on the knowledge of Thai traditional medicine. Patients with pruritic rash symptoms who attended the Center of Applied Thai Traditional Medicine, Siriraj Hospital, were prescribed the Holly Mangrove Shower Gel to use and on the follow-up appointment showed significant improvement. Nevertheless, the knowledge of using this herbal medication for treating pruritic skin rash so far has been categorized as folk wisdom and not been confirmed by any clinical-trial study on its efficacy and mechanism of action. Research teams chose Holly Mangrove Shower Gel containing Acanthus ebracteatus Vahl to act as adjunctive for treating atopic dermatitis. Thus, for the purpose of studying the efficacy of Holly Mangrove Shower Gel containing Acanthus ebracteatus Vahl in improving the skin barrier function in atopic dermatitis.
Demonstrate non-inferiority of the immune response between new versus the currently recommended intradermal regimens of rabies vaccine when administered with or without rabies immunoglobulins in healthy subjects ≥ 1 years of age.
In this quality improvement program (DKD-TMT), patients will be recruited from multiple sites across Asia, with each site recruiting at least 300 type 2 diabetic patients with Diabetic Kidney Disease (DKD). After explanation by trained doctors and nurses, and with written informed consent, patients will be randomized to the UC (n=100, usual care) group, the EC (n=100, empowered care) group, or the TEC (n=100, team-based, empowered care) group. Patients in all 3 groups will undergo a comprehensive assessment (CA) guided by the templates in the Joint Asia Diabetes Evaluation (JADE) portal at baseline and at month 12. They will also self-administer a set of questionnaires for assessing quality of life and psychological distress during the CA at both time points. During the 12 months between the 2 CAs: - Patients in the UC group will receive UC in accordance to the practice of the health institution. - Patients in the EC group will receive a JADE summary report with personalized risk prediction, treatment targets and decision support with explanation from the doctor and nurse. In addition to receiving UC in accordance to the practice of the health institution, the nurse will telephone the patient 3-monthly to remind them to adhere to treatment, provide support and empower them to discuss with their doctors about their treatment needs and any concerns. - Patients in the TEC group will be followed by a doctor-nurse team at least 3 monthly to achieve multiple targets, but tailored to patients' risk profile. The patients will receive telephone reminders and also be given a JADE follow up report 3-monthly. The primary composite endpoint is attainment of treatment goals and/or control of risk factors. The secondary composite endpoint is all-diabetes related clinical endpoints. The tertiary changes are behavioral changes, psychological well-being and quality of life.
BIS is one of several equipments used to monitor depth of anesthesia.Some studies found BIS can reduce total propofol dose when being used with target controlled infusion (TCI).The objective is to compare awakening time after spine surgery between using clinical signs and bispectral index (BIS) guided target controlled infusion(TCI) of propofol in patients having neurophysiologic monitoring.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of roxadustat compared to epoetin alfa for the treatment of anemia in chronic kidney disease patients on dialysis.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of roxadustat for treatment of anemia in patients with chronic kidney disease not on dialysis
Acne is an inflammation of sebaceous glands and follicles. Applying topical treatments such as adapalene gel may cause irritant adverse effects. Hence, using a moisturizer is another way to protect or relieve this undesirable event. Moisturizers that have anti-inflammatory property could reduce irritant effects, emergent from using topical treatment and also reduce severity of acne. Research teams chose an adapalene gel to act as topical treatment for curing acne. It has anti-inflammatory and comedolytic effects and has fewer side effects than other groups of topical retinoic acids. However, peeling skin, redness skin, tingling sensation or itching sensation may occur if they are continually used for a long period. Thus, for the purpose of studying the efficacy of moisturizer containing licochalcone A, L-carnitine and 1,2-decanediol in reducing irritant effect of using adapalene gel (Licochalcone A has anti-inflammatory effect, L-carnitine decrease sebum production and 1,2-decanediol has anti-bacterial effect).
This multicenter, open-label, phase 3 extension study will investigate the safety and efficacy of rVIII-SingleChain for prophylaxis and on-demand treatment of bleeding episodes in at least 200 previously treated patients (PTPs) with severe congenital hemophilia A and previous exposure to FVIII products who achieve at least 100 exposure days (EDs) to rVIII-SingleChain in this study, as well as in previously untreated patients (PUPs) with no previous exposure to any FVIII product who achieve at least 50 EDs to rVIII-SingleChain in this study. A substudy (open to both PTPs and PUPs) will investigate the use of rVIII-SingleChain in surgery. A substudy (open to PUPs who develop an inhibitor to rVIII-SingleChain) will investigate the use of rVIII-SingleChain in immune tolerance induction (ITI) therapy.
