There are about 3576 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in South Africa. 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.
Single-arm, multi-center, Phase I/II clinical trial, in two groups. Individuals with HIV infection taking Efavirenz (EFV), nevirapine (NVP) or lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/r) and two nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTI) who have undetectable HIV viral load (VL) (< 50 copies/mL) and an indication for tuberculosis (TB) preventive treatment (TPT), will be switched to dolutegravir (DTG) with tenofovir/emtricitabine (TDF/FTC), tenofovir/lamivudine (TDF/3TC), abacavir/lamivudine (ABC/3TC) or zidovudine/lamivudine (AZT/3TC) in accordance with South African National HIV Guidelines. Groups 1 and 2 will receive weekly HP for 12 total doses starting 4 weeks after initiating DTG. Individuals who are on an existing DTG-based plus two NRTI antiretroviral therapy (ART) regimen for at least four weeks (and have not received efavirenz, or nevirapine or lopinavir/ritonavir for at least four weeks) who have an undetectable HIV viral load may also participate.
Open-label, two-arm, randomized multicenter study to investigate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK), and potential interactions between dolutegravir (DTG) and rifapentine (RPT) during pregnancy in people with HIV when RPT is given with isoniazid (INH) daily for 4 weeks (1HP) or weekly for 3 months (3HP) as part of tuberculosis (TB) preventive therapy (TPT). Adults (age ≥18) who are pregnant with a singleton pregnancy (confirmed by ultrasound) at a gestational age of 20-34 weeks and virally suppressed on an existing DTG-based plus two nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTI) antiretroviral (ART) regimen for at least four weeks may participate.
A multicenter, randomized, stratified, open-label, phase IV trial among HIV-positive persons (PLHIV) on antiretroviral therapy (ART), or HIV-negative household contacts of patients with rifampicin-sensitive pulmonary tuberculosis (TB), who do not have evidence of active TB.
This is an interventional, randomized, parallel group, treatment, Phase 3b/4, double blind, 2-arm study to assess the effect of dupilumab compared to standard of care therapy on preventing or slowing the rate of lung function decline in adult patients with uncontrolled moderate to severe asthma. The estimated duration is 4±1 weeks of screening and run-in period, followed by a 3-year double blinded treatment period. There will be a post-treatment follow-up (FU) period up to 12 weeks.
This hybrid type I effectiveness-implementation trial will increase understanding of the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of integrating a brief evidence-based treatment for major depressive disorder (MDD) within the tuberculosis (TB) care platform to improve TB and MDD. Findings from this R01 are likely to inform policy and treatment guidelines for the integrated management of TB and MDD in low- and middle-income countries globally.
This Phase 2, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study is intended to evaluate the Efficacy, Safety, and Tolerability and PK of INCB000928 administered to participants with a clinical diagnosis of fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP).
The investigators propose A Sequential Multiple Assignment Randomized Trial of scalable interventions for ART delivery in South Africa- the SMART ART study-a randomized study to test adaptive ART delivery for persons with detectable viral load and/or not engaged in care.The types of differentiated service delivery (DSD) that will be examined in this study are incentives, community-based ART, and home delivery. The study plans to enroll up to 900 participants-people living with HIV and who are eligible for ART and living in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. The study aims to maximize the proportion of ART eligible persons living with HIV who achieve viral suppression at 18 months. The study will also evaluate the preferences of clients and providers for differentiated service delivery, and evaluate the cost effectiveness of adaptive HIV treatment for those who are not engaged in care.
This protocol is designed to study Orthofix regulatory approved and commercially available spine devices to generate Real World Evidence (RWE) of device safety and performance in the treatment of patients with spine injuries and/or disorders following the local medical standard of care. The clinical data generated from this study will support compliance to global regulatory requirements including but not limited to the European Medical Device Regulation (EU MDR) for the applicable devices.
This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of crovalimab compared with placebo as adjunct therapy in the prevention of VOEs in participants with SCD.
This study is investigating how Mim8 works compared to other medicines in people with haemophilia A, who either have inhibitors or do not have inhibitors. Mim8 is a new medicine that will be used for prevention of bleeding episodes. Mim8 works by replacing the function of the missing clotting factor VIII (FVIII). When and how often participants will receive Mim8 is dependent on their previous treatment - but is otherwise decided by chance. Mim8 will be injected into a skinfold on the stomach with a thin needle either once a week or once a month. The study will last 54-124 weeks (12-29 months) depending on how long participants will be followed in run-in before they start treatment and if they continue in the follow period or transfer to an open label extension study. Participants will have 12-17 clinic visits.
