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.
This is a study of amlitelimab for the treatment of participants with moderate-to-severe asthma. The study will have a double-blind treatment period until Week 24 for each participant and an open-label treatment period where each participant will receive open-label amlitelimab from Week 24 onwards. The purpose of this study is to evaluate long-term safety, tolerability, and efficacy of amlitelimab for the treatment of adult participants with moderate-to-severe asthma who have previously been enrolled and completed the treatment period of the parent study. The study duration will be up to 156 weeks. The treatment duration will be up to 144 weeks. The number of visits will be 18.
Human immuno-deficiency virus (HIV) is the virus that causes Acquired Immuno-Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). HIV disease is considered to be a chronic disease requiring lifelong therapy. The purpose of this study is to assess change in disease activity, adverse events, tolerability, and how the drug moves through the body. Budigalimab and ABBV-382 are investigational drugs being developed for the treatment of HIV disease. Participants are placed in 1 of 5 groups, called treatment arms. Each group receives a different treatment. There is a 1 in 7 chance that participants will be assigned to placebo (A placebo is not a drug and it is not expected to have any chemical effects on your body and it is not designed to treat any disease or illness). Approximately 140 adult participants living with HIV disease on stable antiretroviral therapy (ART) willing to undergo Analytical Treatment Interruption (ATI) will be enrolled at approximately 90 sites worldwide. Participants will receive 4 doses of IV budigalimab or placebo combined with 3 doses of IV ABBV-382 or placebo for an 8 week dosing period. Participants need to be stable on antiretroviral therapy to participate in the study. If participant qualifies to the study, on the day they receive the first injection, participants will be asked to stop antiretroviral medications (also referred to as analytical treatment interruption or ATI) for 52 weeks or until meeting specific criteria to restart antiretroviral medications. Participants will undergo a closely monitored ART interruption. Protocol-defined ART restart criteria includes participant's request. Participants will be followed for up to approximately 52 weeks. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. There will be an option for virtual or home health visits for some of the follow-up visits. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.
The main purpose of this study is to see if it is safe to give the study antibodies (3BNC117-LS-J and 10-1074-LS-J) by intravenous infusion to people with HIV (PWH), and to see if they cause any side effects. In addition, to see how the study antibodies affect the level of HIV in the blood when participants are not taking regular HIV treatment for an extended period. This extended period of not taking regular HIV treatment is called an analytical treatment interruption (ATI).
This is a pilot randomized trial among 50 AGYW (aged ≥16≤18 years), who discontinued PrEP use within the past 6 months, assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive: 1) STI self-test kits (Neisseria gonorrhoea (NG), Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) and Trichomonas vaginalis (TV)) with in-person instruction at enrolment and telephone/video-based instructions for home use coupled with self-administered behavioural risk assessment or 2) self-administered behavioural risk assessment only (standard of care). All participants will receive comprehensive sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services during their study visits including choice of family planning method initiation and support, and behavioural HIV/STI risk reduction counselling.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CHF6001 (Tanimilast) as add-on to maintenance of inhaled corticosteroids in combination with Long-acting ß2-agonists in the target patient population. (TANGO)
To assess the efficacy and safety of tezepelumab in pediatric participants with severe uncontrolled asthma on medium to high-dose inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) and at least one additional asthma controller medication with or without oral corticosteroids.
This is a Phase 2a, multicentre, randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel-group study to evaluate the efficacy, safety and PK of AZD4604 administered BID using a dry-powder inhaler at one dose level over a 12-week Treatment period in adult participants with uncontrolled moderate-to-severe asthma.
This study is open to adults with a serious skin disease called generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) who have repeated flares of GPP. The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called spesolimab helps people with repeated flares of GPP. Participants are given a single dose of spesolimab as an infusion into a vein on the first day of an outbreak of GPP. They may be given a second dose 1 week later if doctors think it is helpful. They are also treated for additional GPP flares. During the time of the study, doctors regularly examine participants' skin for signs of GPP to see how well the treatment works and take blood samples. The doctors also regularly check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects.
This is a phase 3, randomized, placebo-controlled study of the efficacy and safety of MK-0616, an oral proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitor, in participants with high cardiovascular risk. The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of MK-0616 compared with placebo in increasing the time to the first occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) including coronary heart disease (CHD) death, ischemic stroke, myocardial infarction (MI), acute limb ischemia or major amputation, or urgent arterial revascularization.
Transgender women (TW) are a key population and priority for HIV treatment. More research is needed to develop evidence-based clinical guidance when it comes to choosing antiretroviral treatment (ART) regimens for TW on feminizing hormonal therapy (FHT). Concerns about ART interacting with FHT and decreasing its effectiveness can lead to decreased ART adherence and increased viral loads. The GET IT RiGHT trial aims to address concerns about drug-drug interactions (DDIs) between ART and FHT while providing access to hormonal therapy to TW living with HIV. Data suggest that access to FHT improves adherence to HIV treatment and decreases treatment interruptions. This is an open-label, non-randomized, 3-group trial of adult TW and other individuals identifying as female or transfeminine but with male sex assigned at birth living with HIV. Participants will be on ART at entry and receive study-supplied 17-β estradiol for FHT for 48 weeks. The primary objectives of the study are to 1) assess whether TW continue to achieve therapeutic concentrations of ART while receiving FHT for 48 weeks and 2) assess whether serum estradiol concentrations on FHT (across a range of estradiol doses) vary between boosted and un-boosted ART regimens.
