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.
There are 3 phases of this project. First phase is to study the satisfaction in healthy children aged 10-15 years old when they are playing our computer games. The sample size of this phase was 10. In addition, we will ask the occupational therapist to play and comment our game for further development.
The main aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of S-217622 versus placebo among outpatient adults with mild and moderate COVID-19 starting intervention within 3 days of symptom onset.
Rationale Recently, a CDC advisory Committee on Immunization Practices identified a likely association between the 2 COVID-19 mRNA vaccines from Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna and cases of myocarditis and pericarditis. For the cardiovascular system, 4863 adverse events (AEs) were reported from the Pfizer vaccine. Common findings observed with vaccines under study were tachycardia(16.41%), flushing (12.17%), hypertension (5.82%), hypotension (3.6%), and increased heart rate (9.03%). In this study we characterized, classified, evaluate the dynamic of cardiac function and ECG abnormality after the Pfizer vaccine injection. This is a prospective cohort study. All participants aged 13-18 years old and above who visited the second dose Pfizer covid-19 vaccine injection to determine cardiac manifestation. Methods for analyzing research data The data will be collected from students enrollment at Kong thabbok upatham changkol kho so tho bo school and Wachirathamsatit school. The participant's history, physical exam, and laboratory data will be reviewed and data will be extracted based on the case record form (CRF). All data will be stored securely and analyzed using the SPSS® Statistics Version 23 developed by IBM®. Data entry will be carried out using coding and verification. Quantitative data will be expressed as mean with standard deviation (SD) or median (IQR) and qualitative data will be presented as a number of observations with percentage (%). Descriptive statistics will be used to summarize the baseline values and demographic data. All p-values will be derived using the 2-tailed testing, and statistical significance will be set at 0.05 probability. All the categorical variables will be analyzed using the chi-square (x2) or Fisher's exact test whichever is appropriate. Normality of the distribution will be tested for the continuous variable using the Kolmogorov- Smirnov test. All the variables with normal distributions will be compared using the independent t-test and will be reported as mean ± standard deviation (SD). The variables that do not pass the normality test will be compared by means of the Mann-Whitney U test and will be reported as the median and interquartile range (IQR).
Individualised pharmacokinetic (PK)-guided dosing of extended half-life (EHL) FVIII concentrates prophylaxis may reduce hemophilia A bleeding events than previous prophylactic regimen. Methods A single-centre prospective cohort study, the investigators recruited consecutive eligible patients aged 5-25 years with clinically severe haemophilia A (FVIII:C ≤3%), no inhibitor, on low-dose weight-based prophylaxis at King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital (KCMH) from July 2021 to February 2022. All of patients with clinically severe haemophilia A received low dose weight-based standard half-life FVIII concentrates replacement prophylaxis for ≥ 1 year prior to enrolment in the study. The data of annual bleeding rate (ABR), annual joint bleeding rate (AJBR), annual FVIII use (prophylactic and breakthrough bleeding dosing) in the last 6 months before the study and number of target joints were collected at the beginning of the study. Baseline variables, including age and weight, were recorded before performing the analyses using online medical device (www.mypkfit.com). Wash-out period for 72 hours, each participant subsequently received a dose of 20 IU/kg FVIII by intravenous injection. Blood samples were collected and the concentration of FVIII was measured two times at 3 h and 48 h or 72 h after injection by one-stage technique. Desired FVIII trough levels were selected in this study as 1%. Individually proper regimen were selected by discussion with patients and families. All of participant individually underwent dose calculation of EHL factor VIII concentrates and received low dose PK-guided regimen (10-20u/kg, 2-3times/week) with EHL FVIII concentrates for 6 months. If breakthrough bleeding occurs, FVIII concentrates 500 U intravenous injection immediately. ABR, AJBR, HJHS and annual FVIII concentrates use were again prospectively recorded during intervention period after PK adjustment for 6 months. Primary objectives To compare clinical outcomes including annual bleeding rate (ABR), annual joint bleeding rate (AJBR) and Haemophilia joint health score (HJHS) before and after switching from standard half-life (SHL) to Extended half-life (EHL) factor VIII concentrates with adjusted dosing by PK-guided program (MyPKFiT®) in severe haemophilia A patients Secondary objectives To compare factor VIII concentrates consumption before and after using PK-guided program (MyPKFiT®) adjusting dose of factor VIII infusion in severe HA patients.
Online hemodiafiltration (Ol-HDF) is increasingly being used for patients on chronic dialysis due to in its superiority compared with standard hemodialysis HDF. In addition to an excellent clearance of small molecules, oL-HDF has more advantages by providing both diffusion and convection modalities for an additional clearance of medium-size molecules. Furthermore, OL-HDF has been associated with not only better hemodynamic tolerance and biocompatibility , but may even include better survival.with reduction of proinflammatory cytokines and proinflammatory circulating cells , as well as with better control of B2MG levels .Ol-HDF is classified into 2 types according to the mode of addition of the substitution fluid: pre-dilution OL-HDF (pre-HDF) and post-dilution OL-HDF (post-HDF); Post-HDF was associated with significantly higher removal rates of β2-MG than HD. Postdilution HDF is the most effective way to maximize molecule clearance .Post-HDF was associated with significantly higher removal rate of α1-MG, and also significantly higher albumin leakage, than HD and pre-HDF. However, blood concentrations can be elevated using HDF, which can cause thrombosis. On the other hand, predilution HDF can resolve this problem but requires about three times more purified water than postdilution HDF and may not elicit maximal clearance.
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.
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common entrapment of upper extremity. Patients with CTS will experience symptoms of pain, numbness of tingling sensation along the median nerve distribution. In more severe case, patients may have difficult manipulating objects that disturb function and patient's quality of life. Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) is one of physical modalities that uses to treat many musculoskeletal disorders. For CTS, previous evidence showed that ESWT can improve symptoms, function as well as electrophysiologic parameters. However, standardized guidelines as well as the study in patients with moderate to severe CTS has not been established. Thus, the objective of the present study was to evaluate efficacy of ESWT in term of symptoms, function, electrophysiologic parameters, as well as sonography of median nerve in patients with moderate to severe CTS.
Malaria remains one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Plasmodium falciparum is a complex pathogen with numerous immune evasion mechanisms which has added layers of complexity to the development of safe and protective vaccines. There remains an urgent need to identify and develop more protective and more affordable vaccine candidates that could achieve the World Health Organization (WHO) goal of 75% efficacy against clinical malaria. R21 is a novel pre-erythrocytic candidate malaria vaccine. R21 includes Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) fused to the C-terminus and central repeats of the circumsporozoite protein of P. falciparum (CSP), which self-assemble into virus-like particles in yeast. R21 lacks the excess HBsAg found and comprises only fusion protein moieties. R21/MatrixM (MM) had a favourable safety profile and was well tolerated. The majority of adverse events were mild, with the most common event being fever. None of the serious adverse events were attributed to the vaccine. At one year, vaccine efficacy remained high, at 77%. Participants vaccinated with R21/MM showed high titres of malaria-specific anti- Asn-Ala-Asn-Pro (NANP) antibodies 28 days after the third vaccination, which were almost doubled with the higher adjuvant dose. Titres waned but were boosted to levels similar to peak titres after the primary series of vaccinations after a fourth dose administered one year later. Currently, there are no safety and immunogenicity data for the use of R21/MatrixM in Asian populations. This trial will generate the required data for the use of this vaccine in Asia. For integration with the current targeted malaria elimination (TME) activities, which provide mass drug administrations at months M0, M1, and M2, it would be most efficient and practical to provide the vaccine at the same intervals. In summary: The investigators propose to conduct a safety and immunogenicity trial of R21/MatrixM in Thai adults. The major aims of this study are to 1) assess the safety and immunogenicity of R21/MatrixM in Thai adults 2) confirm that the co-administration of antimalarial drugs with the malaria vaccine R21/MatrixM does not reduce the immunogenicity of the vaccine and 3) assess the absorption and pharmacokinetics of antimalarial drugs piperaquine, and a single low dose of primaquine (SLDPQ) when co-administered with R21/MatrixM. This is a randomized, open label, single centre, Phase 2 study. 120 healthy non-pregnant Thai adults, aged 18-55 years, inclusive, will be recruited. Each participant will be randomized into one of the following study arms in a ratio of 5:5:2, as follows: 1. R21/MatrixM + Dihydroartimisinin (DHA)-Piperaquine (PIP)+ primaquine (PQ) (Group 1, n=50) will receive R21/MatrixM + 3 doses DHA-PIP+PQ at Month 0, Month 1 and Month 2 2. R21/MatrixM only (Group 2, n=50) will receive R21/MatrixM standard dose at Month 0, Month 1 and Month 2 3. DHA-PIP+PQ only (Group 3, n=20) will receive 3 doses DHA-PIP+PQ at Month 0, Month 1 and Month 2
