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.
SevEos is a cross-sectional, multi-center, non-interventional study aimed to describe the treatment patterns in 250 severe asthma patients across the Gulf region. In addition, the study will determine the current level of asthma control and quality of life in these patients; describe the exacerbation patterns; and determine the current levels of blood eosinophils for the enrolled patients.
This study employed a prospective, single-arm, global multi-center interventional open-label, non-randomized design to identify and assess safety profile of the crushed deferasirox FCT when administered up to 24 weeks in pediatric patients aged ≥2 to <6 years with transfusional hemosiderosis. The study was designed to enroll a minimum of 40 patients. Forty-four patients were treated and analyzed.
Step-down approach and late follicular phase progesterone level
This is a Phase III/IV, single-arm, multicenter study of the long-term safety and efficacy of atezolizumab treatment in participants with Stage IIIb or Stage IV NSCLC who have progressed after standard systemic chemotherapy (including if given in combination with anti-programmed cell death protein 1 [anti-PD-1] therapy, after anti-PD-1 as monotherapy, or after tyrosine kinase inhibitor [TKI] therapy). The study will consist of a Screening Period, a Treatment Period, a Treatment Discontinuation Visit, and a Follow-Up Period.
It had been shown that high percentage of severe preeclampsia patients got a high cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) due to abnormal autoregulation of cerebral blood vessels with associated endothelial dysfunction and disrupted blood brain barrier. Moreover, patients with high CPP is more likely to present with headache compared to other patients with normal CPP.In this particular scenario, use of magnesium sulphate is associated with marked reduction of CPP and. hence prevention of cerebral damage.This hypothesis was confirmed by new magnetic resonance techniques that demonstrated brain edema in eclampsia/ severe preeclampsia patient mostly due to vasogenic edema and less commonly attributed to cytotoxic edema. Changes in the optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) mirrors the changes in the Intracranial pressure(ICP), subsequently when the intracranial pressure increases the optic nerve sheath diameter (ONDS) also increases. The aim of this study is to determine the effect Magnesium sulphate infusion on intracranial pressure, in patients presented with severe preeclampsia by measuring changes in the ONSD using ultrasound examination.
AURIGA is designed to collect data from routine clinical practice on the effectiveness and utilization of intravitreal aflibercept in the treatment of visual impairment due to diabetic macular edema (DME) or macula edema secondary to retinal vein occlusion (RVO). The primary objective of this observational study (OS) is to evaluate the effectiveness of intravitreal aflibercept in 4 cohorts (with/without prior treatment in DME or macular edema secondary to RVO) in each of the participating countries. Additionally, utilization and treatment regimens in routine clinical practice will be described. Health care resources and services as well as health out-comes related to vision loss will be evaluated based on information collected using the AURIGA patient questionnaires.
This study aims at evaluating real life effectiveness of originator adalimumab (Humira®) participants with active non-infectious intermediate, posterior and panuveitis (NIIPPU) despite high-dose corticosteroid therapy; including effect on ocular inflammation, health-related quality of life, health resource utilization, work ability and medication burden, as well as describe the characteristics of NIIPPU participants treated with Humira® in the real-life setting.
Hemodialysis (HD) patients have decreased physical functioning, diminished muscle mass and altered muscle quality thus the increased mortality rate compared to their age-matched population. Risk factors include their sedentary lifestyle and altered nutritional status [1]; the sedentary lifestyle or the lack of exercise is known to be a risk factor for cardiovascular complications [2] and contributes to worsen protein energy wasting (PEW), which is described as the loss of body protein mass and fuel reserves [1]. Therefore the health of the HD patients and consequently their quality of life (QOL) is deteriorated. Studies have shown that aerobic exercise during HD improves aerobic capacity, blood pressure, heart rate, muscular strength, dialysis efficacy and quality of life; however, such studies were not done on the United Arab Emirates (UAE) HD patients and there is no protocol for implementing exercise in the UAE HD units [3-4] Hypothesis: Intradialytic aerobic exercise will result in significantly improved clinical, cardio-metabolic and quality of life outcomes and reduced cost of care. Primary objective of the study: - To investigate whether the intradialytic exercise (IDE) within the routine practice of hemodialysis in the UAE will improve adequacy of dialysis. Secondary objectives of the study: - To study the effect of clinical and cardio-metabolic outcomes of the HD patients. - Explore whether the trial would improve the cost effectiveness of this patient population's health care - Define the nature of the IDE programs (intensity, duration, modality), and feasibility of its application in routine setting. Importance of this research: - Pioneering research in the Middle East and Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries where the effect of intradialytic exercise will be studied for the first time on Arab population. - It will contribute in identifying the exact strategies to integrate within the hemodialysis unit to improve clinical and cardio-metabolic outcomes, quality of life and healthcare cost. Usefulness of this research to the UAE - It will improve the health care cost and reduce cost wastage in the UAE (lean management). - It will put UAE on the pedestal in front of other countries in integrating innovative methods for a better care of hemodialysis patients.
To describe AMH serum levels dynamics during natural cycle using an automated assay.
A prospective, multi-centre, epidemiological observational study designed to evaluate the prevalence of BRCA1 and BRCA2 (BReast CAncer gene) mutations in current and newly diagnosed ovarian cancer patients across different countries in the Gulf region. This study will also describe the epidemiological features for the disease for the enrolled patients.
