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 purpose of this study include (1) To investigate the efficacy of ventilator hyperinflation technique to re-expand lung atelectasis on patients with critical trauma who intubated and mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit, (2) To investigate the effectiveness of ventilator hyperinflation technique to improve airway clearance on patients with critical trauma in the intensive care unit, and (3) To explore the acute responses of ventilatory functions to ventilator hyperinflation technique on patients with critical trauma who intubated and mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit.
Thyrotoxicosis is a hypermetabolic state in which there is increased utilization of thiamine. Thiamine deficiency has been observed in association with hyperthyroidism. Several studies documented that thiamine treatment could improve signs and symptoms of congestive heart failure, or even improve left ventricular ejection fraction in patients without thyrotoxicosis. This pilot study aims to evaluate prevalence of thiamine deficiency and assess improvement of cardiovascular function after receiving thiamine supplement in thyrotoxic patients.
The investigators proposed that the Cleanoze® is superior to the traditional nasal saline irrigation in term of the ease of use which will resulting in a better quality of life of the participants. This study will compared the efficacy, adverse reactions, complications and ease of use of Cleanoze® comparing with normal saline solution
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE To assess the impact of C-reactive protein (CRP) Point-of-care (POC) testing on health care worker prescribing behaviour in patients presenting to primary healthcare centres with an acute fever or recent history of fever. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES To assess the impact of CRP testing on clinical outcomes within the 14 days of follow-up. To assess the correlation between CRP results and clinical outcomes on the day 5 of the enrolment. To estimate the impact of CRP testing on antibiotic consumption after first consultation. To explore the attitudes of health centre staff towards the POC CRP test. To identify the prevalence of key pathogens in febrile patients in these settings. To validate the ability of CRP to discriminate between viral and bacterial pathogens in a subset of patients with a microbiologically confirmed diagnosis.
This study is designed to establish biosimilarity of SB8, a proposed biosimilar product of bevacizumab, to EU-sourced bevacizumab, in patients with metastatic or recurrent non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Follow-up for durability of sustained virologic response, changes in liver function and safety in patients with SVR24 in feeder studies
Counseling intervention: Primary objective: to evaluate and compare, in at-risk populations, the efficacy of three different counseling methods in terms of propensity to come back for a HIV re-test. Secondary objectives: to evaluate and compare the efficacy of the counseling methods in terms of reported risk behavior and HIV knowledge as well as their acceptability and cost-effectiveness; describe the distribution of duration from HIV primary infection to detection; and estimate the prevalence of chronic hepatitis B and C, and syphilis in HIV-uninfected participants of targeted populations. Reminder intervention Primary objective: to evaluate and compare, in at-risk individuals who require frequent testing, the efficacy of reminders in terms of propensity to come back for a HIV re-test within 7 months. Secondary objective: to assess the cost-effectiveness of reminders. The interim analyses have shown that that some strategies are better than the others and the Advisory Committee recommended to use only the most efficient strategies (Computer assisted counseling and Scheduling an appointment and sending reminder to clients). In addition, CD4 cell count normal ranges in 30 HIV uninfected individuals in Thailand will be assessed. Transient elastometry (FibroScan) will be used to assess liver fibrosis in participants with and without viral hepatitis.
Primary objective: To compare telmisartan therapy + antiretroviral therapy (ART) versus ART alone during acute Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)a infection in reducing systemic immune activation and trafficking of activated and HIV-infected cells to the central nervous system (CNS), and limiting establishment and persistence of the CNS reservoir of HIV. At 48 weeks (during the telmisartan therapy) and 72 weeks (~6 months after cessation of telmisartan augmentation), the investigator expect subjects in the telmisartan group will have reduced levels of blood and CSF immune activation markers, reduced brain inflammation, lower CSF HIV ribonecleic acid (RNA) and improved neuropsychological testing performance. Secondary objective: In subjects who are willing to undergo the optional inguinal lymph node biopsy, the study will determine whether subjects receiving telmisartan plus ART for 48 weeks develop less lymphoid tissue fibrosis than subjects receiving ART alone for 48 weeks. Subject population: Male and female subjects age ≥ 18 years old with acute HIV infection who are identified and enrolled in SEARCH 010/RV254 protocol will be asked to co-enroll in this study. Number of subjects: 21 Duration of follow-up: 72 weeks Study design: 21 acutely HIV-infected subjects will be randomized 2:1 to treatment with telmisartan + ART (n=14) vs. ART alone (n=7) for the first 48 weeks followed by ART alone in both arms to week 72. Blood and CSF, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and neuropsychological testing and exam will be collected at baseline, week 48 and week 72. Inguinal lymph node biopsy is an optional procedure that will be offered at baseline and week 48.
The purpose of this study is to identify the prevalence rate and risk factors for pulmonary complications in patients with critical trauma who intubated and mechanical ventilation.
The purpose of this study is to explore acute hemodynamic responses to VHI technique in critical traumatic patients with pulmonary complications in the intensive care unit.
