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.
The prevalence of Hepatitis B core antigen in the Thai population is about 70 %, no data of isolated Hepatitis B core antigen is reported. Hepatitis B core antigen is observed in 10%-20% of individuals from low endemic areas of HBV infection. However, this prevalence of isolated antiHBc would be higher in endemic area of HBV infection. There is conflicting data of occult HBV infection in HIV infected patients. In Thailand, perinatal transmission is the main route of transmission which is different from developed countries. Therefore, isolated antiHBc in Thai people has longer duration than low prevalence regions. Moreover, HBV genotype C and B is common in this region. If the HBV vaccination could eliminate an occult HBV infection in these individuals, the liver related mortality might be reduced. The prevalence and clinical importance of isolated antiHBc in Thai have not been investigated yet. There is also limited data of HBV vaccine response in this setting.
To evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of LPV/r with saquinavir in HIV-1 infected children. To evaluate treatment response (clinical, immunological and virological) to LPV/r, SQV in Thai children.
The purpose of this study is to find out if nesiritide (a human B-type natriuretic peptide/hBNP) as compared to placebo, plus the usual treatment for acute decompensated heart failure, helps to improve breathing difficulties, reduce heart failure readmissions to hospitals, and helps patients live longer.
This trial is conducted in Europe, Asia and South America. A one-year clinical trial to compare the safety of inhaled human insulin to subcutaneous insulin aspart in subjects with type 1 or type 2 diabetes and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Opisthorchis viverrini (OV) is a parasite that individuals get from eating raw fish. Infections with this parasite have been associated with liver abnormalities that sometimes lead to bile duct cancer. The purpose of this study is to find out how many people in several areas of the Khon Kaen province are infected with OV, what affect this parasite has on the liver, how the immune system reacts to infection with this parasite, and how the liver is 12 months after being treated for this parasite. Study participants will include 6,000 volunteers, ages 20-60, living in villages surrounding Khon Kaen that have large numbers of people infected with OV. Study procedures will include a stool sample, an ultrasound (sound waves bounced off internal organs to create a picture), and a blood sample. Individuals found to test positive for the parasite will be treated at their local primary health care unit. Participants will be involved in study procedures for up to 12 months.
The majority of cases of autoimmune cytopenias, which includes immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), autoimmune hemolytic anemia, autoimmune neutropenia (AIN) and pure red cell aplasia, will respond to conventional immunosuppressive therapy with or without splenectomy. There is, however, a group of patients with refractory or chronically relapsing autoimmune cytopenias causing life-threatening hemorrhages, infections or anemia. Further problems include the short- and long-term side-effects of corticosteroids, and the potential toxicity of immunosuppressive and cytotoxic agents. An alternative and less toxic approach in these patients may be the treatment with Campath-1H, a humanized IgG monoclonal antibody specific for the CD52 antigen and present on human lymphocytes and monocytes. The main effect of Campath-1H is on T cell and it results in a prolonged and profound depletion of the CD4 and CD8 subpopulations, particularly the CD4 population, and this might "reset" the immune system without the need for total immune ablation.Therefore, this study is designed to investigate safety and efficacy of repeated Campath treatment cycles in autoimmune cytopenia.In order to minimize possible side effects of accumulating Campath, the 3 treatment cycles will be administered in consecutively reduced doses.
Primary: - Overall Survival (OS) Secondary: - Time to Tumor Progression (TTP) - Response Rate (RR) - Improvement of Quality of Life (QoL) - Safety - Secondary resection rate
In this study, the efficacy and safety of two nilotinib doses, 300 mg twice daily and 400 mg twice daily, were compared with imatinib 400 mg once daily in newly diagnosed patients with Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia in the chronic phase (CML-CP). An extension protocol was included in this study design to allow patients who did not show sufficient response to their assigned treatments the opportunity to receive imatinib 400 mg BID (option available until protocol amendment 7) or nilotinib 400 mg BID, using an abbreviated safety and efficacy assessment schedule.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether capsaicin gel is effective in treating mild to moderate degrees of osteoarthritis of the knee in the elderly patient compared with placebo gel.
To assess the efficacy of pregabalin compared to placebo on pain following hysterectomy , measured using subject reported assessments of pain.
