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.
This study is designed to compare the effectiveness of the experimental drug, CP-690,550, to methotrexate in preventing joint damage and improving symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. This study will also compare the safety of CP-690,550 with methotrexate.
The purpose of this research study is to study the safety of increasing doses of FBS0701, and to see how quickly the study medication is absorbed and how quickly it disappears from the bloodstream. FBS0701 is a new, oral iron chelator - a medication taken by mouth that increases the body's elimination of iron. Iron chelators are used in patients who develop iron overload from their transfusions. Four increasing doses of FBS0701 will be tested during this study. The study will start with the lowest dose given to 4 patients (3 mg/kg/day. The next group of 4 patients will receive the next high dose (8mg/kg/day only after the results of the first 4 patients are examined and it is determined safe to continue. Participating patients will take the study medication for 7 days and be followed for 28 days after their last dose to determine if they have any reactions to the study medication - therefore a total of 35 days on study. Patients will need to give up to 17 blood samples over the screening period and first 15 days of the study (a total of about 9 tablespoons). Patients will not need to stay overnight in the clinic but will need to visit the clinic 10 times for screening and on-study visits over the 35 days. Patients currently taking an iron chelator will need to stop that treatment for up to 22 days (up to 5 days before they start the study and for 15 days during the study). The results of this study will be helpful in determining the safety of the drug and the best doses of FBS0701 to be used in the next study which will assess the effectiveness of this new iron chelator.
Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), cancer of the bile duct, is the first cause of cancer death of the people in the northeast of Thailand. The incidence of CCA in this region is highest not only in the country but in the world. CCA is a slow growing but highly metastatic tumor. At present, there is no standard chemotherapy or effective treatment for CCA. Most of the patients have short survival after diagnosis. Strong evidences from in vitro, animal and clinical studies indicate that vitamin D can prevent and control growth of cancer. Our preclinical studies in CCA cell lines, animal and patient tissue culture indicate that vitamin D effectively reduce growth of CCA. Supplementation of vitamin D to chemotherapeutic drugs enhance drug toxicity and better response. At present, there are several clinical trials in USA on supplementation of vitamin D or its analogs to cancer patients. The side effect or toxicity of using vitamin D supplementation is low, some patients had stable disease and some had good response. The current study is set up a clinical trial phase II of vitamin D (calcitriol) in combination with 5-fluorouracil, Mitomycin C and Leucovorin in an open label-non-randomized study to evaluate the tumor response in patients with advanced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. This study will provide an alternative/effective chemotherapy treatment for CCA patients. Better survival and improved quality of life are also expected.
To demonstrate that infants have improved gut comfort when fed a slightly hydrolyzed starter formula containing probiotics compared to infants fed a control hydrolyzed and referenced non-hydrolyzed formula.
The study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of LCZ696 compared to enalapril on morbidity and mortality in patients with chronic heart failure (NYHA Class II - IV and EF =< 35%).
The purpose of this study is to compare treatment with RAD001 plus best supportive care (BSC) to placebo plus BSC in patients with advanced HCC whose disease progressed while on or after sorafenib treatment or who are intolerant to sorafenib.
The purpose of this study is to provide further immunogenicity and safety information of sanofi pasteur's DTacP-IPV combined vaccine (TETRAXIM™) as a booster dose during the 4th and 6th year of life in children that previously received in Study E2I34 (NCT 00255021), sanofi pasteur DTacP-IPV// PRP~T vaccine (PENTAXIM™) as a three-dose primary and booster vaccinations. Primary Objective : - To assess immunogenicity in terms of seroprotection rates (Diphtheria, Tetanus, Polio types 1, 2 and 3) and seroconversion/vaccine response rates to acellular Pertussis antigens (Pertussis toxoid [PT], Filamentous Haemagglutinin [FHA]) of sanofi pasteur's DTacP-IPV (Tetraxim™) vaccine, one month after the booster dose given at 4 to 6 years of age. Secondary Objectives : - To describe the antibody persistence in terms of anti-pertussis antibody levels (anti-PT, and -FHA) and in terms of seroprotection rates and GMTs for Diphtheria, Tetanus, and Poliovirus types 1, 2 and 3, just before administration of the booster dose (at Visit 1) in all subjects at 4-6 years of age. - To assess immunogenicity in terms of seroprotection rates (Diphtheria, Tetanus, Polio types 1, 2 and 3) and seroconversion/ vaccine response rates to acellular Pertussis antigens (PT, FHA) of sanofi pasteur's DTacP-IPV (Tetraxim™) vaccine, one month after administration of the booster dose given at 4 to 6 years of age. - To describe the safety after the booster dose of the study vaccine.
Infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) has been clearly established as the central cause of cervical cancer. This Phase IV, observer-blind study is designed to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of Cervarix in HIV infected females aged 15 to 25 years as compared to Merck's HPV vaccine (Gardasil). For comparative purposes, a group of HIV negative females will also be evaluated. All subjects will receive the HPV vaccine (either Cervarix or Gardasil) according to a three-dose schedule (Day 0, Week 6, Month 6).
The purpose of this study is to create a large Thailand database documenting the severity of anemia and its management in the cancer population.
The study will assess the pharmacokinetics (part A) safety, tolerability, and efficacy of prophylaxis treatment (2 to 3 times a week) (part B) with BAY81-8973 over a one year period (split into two six month treatment periods). The study will compare 2 different methods (assays) for measuring the amount of study drug, the chromogenic substrate assay per European Pharmacopeia (CS/EP) with the classical assay (Chromogenic Substrate Adjusted, CS/ADJ). During one six month period patients will receive the study drug where the dose has been measured using the" (CS/EP) and during the other six months period the dose will be measured based on the Chromogenic Substrate Adjusted assay CS/ADJ)
