There are about 435 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in United Arab Emirates. 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.
Evidence has./ indicated increased risk of type 2 diabetes with white rice consumption in Asian population. It is shown that glycemic response to carbohydrate-containing food may differ in people of different ethnicities. The large increment in glucose concentration induced by high glycemic index food often exaggerates the body's anabolic responses, which facilitates the overproduction of insulin and eventually results in pancreatic beta-cell failure, causing type 2 diabetes mellitus. Given that rice is the staple food of Asians and Emiratis, and extent to which rice influences postprandial glycemia could have potential relevance in the prevention and treatment of diabetes. In this study, the investigators intend to compare the glycemic and hunger satiety response to rice among overweight Emiratis, Asians, and Caucasian. The primary objective of the study is to compare the glycemic (glucose) and hunger satiety (hormone ghrelin and peptide YY) response to glucose and rice among overweight Emiratis, Asians, and Caucasians.
To study the influence of different daily rec-FSH dosages (150 IU versus 300 IU), performed in the same patient in consecutive cycles, on the relation between FSH- and LH-receptors of the granulosa cells of the growing follicle.
The study is a randomized, double-blind, and positive-controlled Phase III booster study. It will evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of one dose of SCTV01C or SCTV01E as booster compared with either one dose of Sinopharm inactivated COVID-19 vaccine (Cohort 1) or one dose of Comirnaty (Cohort 2).
This is a multicenter, randomized, observer-blinded, active-controlled Phase II study to evaluate the immunogenicity, safety and reactogenicity of the low dose (20μg) and high dose (40μg) of ReCOV, when administered as a booster to healthy adults aged 18 to 65 years who have completed two or three doses vaccination (prioritized two doses). Estimate 300 participants.
The study is intended to estimate the proportion and clinical management of people with type 2 diabetes having atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases or who are at high risk to develop atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. Participants will be asked to give information about their health. Partipants will continue normal way of life and will not get any medication other than those prescribed to them by the doctor. The study will last for about 6 months.
Inverted orthosis is a type of rigid foot orthosis that was designed to aid in controlling high degrees of foot pronation. It is essential to administer patients foot orthoses with different inverted angles, with higher angles prescribed when greater reduction of foot pronation is indicated. However, there is shortage of clinical knowledge regarding the inverted angle in terms of biomechanical changes. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of different inverted angles of foot orthoses on the walking kinematics in females with flexible flatfeet.
Study on Clinical Use of EVUSHELD (AZD7442) as Pre-exposure Prophylaxis in the Real-world Setting - A Multi-Centre Observational Prospective Study to Determine the Utilization and Clinical Outcomes of EVUSHELD in Gulf Cooperation Council Countries
This is a Phase I, open label, dose-escalation study of three dose levels of the SARS-CoV-2 spike antigen administered intramuscularly (IM) in combination with a fixed dosage of PIKA adjuvant vaccine to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of PIKA COVID-19 vaccine candidate in healthy individuals aged 18 years and above. The study will comprise of two arms. Arm A will include subjects who never been infected with COVID-19 or with a history of COVID-19 infection for not less than 6 months prior to study participation and Arm B will include subjects who will be receiving PIKA vaccine as a booster vaccination dose to COVID-19 primary vaccination of inactivated or mRNA Covid 19 vaccines.
According the World Health Organization (WHO), infertility is a disease of the male or female reproductive system defined by the failure to achieve a pregnancy after 12 months or more of regular unprotected sexual intercourse. In-vitro-fertilization (IVF) is considered to be a successful tool to overcome infertility. However, the current methods used to assess the ovarian reserve and to develop an optimal individualized controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) protocol have shown some limitations. Growing evidence indicates that altered renal renin-angiotensin system (RAS) and/or melatonin are linked to infertility. Aims and Objectives: The current 2 years duration study aims first to investigate the demographic and clinical profiles of patients undergoing IVF in the UAE. In the second phase of the study, we hypothesis that an altered angiotensin-melatonin axis may be considered as an unfavorable prognosis factor in poor and hyper responders undergoing IVF treatment. This hypothesis will be assessed using an observational, longitudinal, prospective clinical study to determine whether the urinary angiotensinogen and/or melatonin deficiency might be present in poor and hyper responders undergoing IVF treatment. Thus, negatively impacting the clinical pregnancy rate. Methodology: various patient's data will be collected using a questionnaire and the levels of angiotensinogen and melatonin in patient's urine will be measured using ELISA test prior to, during and after the IVF treatment. To determine whether the angiotensinogen-melatonin axis disruption affects the IVF treatment outcome, we will analyze the following parameters: the AMH, Antral Follicular Count (AFC), day 2-4 FSH levels, the stimulation cycle in regards to number of stimulation days and amount of gonadotropins used for stimulation, number of oocytes retrieved and number of mature oocytes, quality and embryo's ploidy, number of available euploid embryos and the clinical pregnancy rate after frozen embryo transfer.
This Phase III, randomized, two-arm, open-label, multicenter study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of giredestrant plus Phesgo compared with Phesgo after induction therapy with Phesgo plus taxane in participants with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive, estrogen receptor (ER)-positive advanced breast cancer (metastatic or locally advanced disease not amenable to curative treatment) who have not previously received a systemic non-hormonal anti-cancer therapy in the advanced setting.
