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.
Primary Objective: To demonstrate the superiority of a strategy with insulin glargine in comparison with a strategy including the premixed insulin in term of percentage of patients reaching HbA1c (glycosylated hemoglobin) below 7% at the end of treatment and who do not experience documented symptomatic hypoglycemia (confirmed by a Plasma Glucose (PG) below 56 mg/dL (3.1 mmol/L)) over a 24-week treatment period, in Type 2 diabetes patients failing lifestyle management and oral agents. Secondary Objectives: To assess the effect of insulin glargine in comparison with premixed insulin on : - Evolution of HbA1c level during the treatment period Percentage of patients who reach the target of HbA1c < 7 % and who do not experience documented symptomatic hypoglycemia confirmed by a Plasma Glucose (PG) below 70 mg/dL (3.9 mmol/L) - Percentage of patients who reach the target of HbA1c < 6.5% and who do not experience documented symptomatic hypoglycemia confirmed by a PG below 56 mg/dL (3.1 mmol/L) >Percentage of patients who reach the target of HbA1c < 6.5% and who do not experience documented symptomatic hypoglycemia confirmed by a PG below 70 mg/dL (3.9 mmol/L) >Evolution of Fasting Plasma Glucose Evolution of 7-point plasma glucose profiles - Evolution of weight - Hypoglycemia occurrence - Dose of insulins - Evolution of liver function - Overall safety
To investigate the therapeutic effectiveness of long acting nifedipine containing combination therapy in the treatment of hypertensive patients.
The Global Anticoagulant Registry in the FIELD-Atrial Fibrillation (GARFIELD-AF Registry) is a non-interventional, observational study that characterized a global population of non-valvular atrial fibrillation patients. The registry was used to document global baseline characteristics, current treatment strategies and outcome measures. Characterisation of a number of AF sub-populations was also completed. GARFIELD-AF is an independent academic research initiative sponsored by the Thrombosis Research Institute (London, UK) and supported by an unrestricted research grant from Bayer AG (Berlin, Germany).
This open-label single-arm study will evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of tocilizumab [RoActemra/Actemra] in patients with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis who experience an inadequate clinical response to a stable dose of non-biologic disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARD) or anti-tumor necrosis factors (TNFs). RoActemra/Actemra will be administered as a monotherapy or in combination with DMARDs. RoActemra/Actemra will be administered as intravenous infusion at a dose of 8 mg/kg every 4 weeks for a total of 6 infusions. The anticipated time on study treatment is 24 weeks. The target sample size is 50-150 patients.
The purpose of the study is to establish the proportion of patients on lipid-lowering pharmacological treatment reaching the LDL-C goals according to the NCEP ATP III/updated 2004 NCEP ATP III guidelines, overall and by country, to establish the proportion of patients on lipid-lowering pharmacological treatment reaching the LDL-C goals according to the NCEP ATP III/updated 2004 NCEP ATP III in the following sub-populations: - Primary/secondary prevention patients. - Patients with metabolic syndrome (according to NCEP III definition). And to establish the proportion of patients on lipid-lowering pharmacological treatment reaching the LDL-C goals according to the Third Joint European Task Force guidelines/national guidelines, in the survey population and in the following sub-populations: - Primary/secondary prevention patients. - Patients with metabolic syndrome.
This observational, non-interventional cohort study will evaluate predictors of response in patients with chronic hepatitis B receiving standard of care Pegasys therapy. Efficacy and safety parameters will also be evaluated. Patients included in the study will be followed for the duration of their treatment and for up to 3 years thereafter.
This study proposes to compare 2 different methods for managing a subject with psoriasis who has achieved good disease control, as defined by a clinical response with a Physician Global Assessment (PGA) inferior or equal to 1 at the screening visit, on etanercept treatment. The first method involves stopping etanercept treatment on entry into the study, with the option to reinitiate etanercept at 50 mg once weekly after medical review and agreement between the subject and the investigator. The second method involves continuing on etanercept at 25 mg once weekly, with the option to increase the dose to 50 mg once weekly after medical review and agreement between the subject and the investigator. Subjects will be randomized into one of these two study arms.
The purpose of the study is two-fold. In Phase I (Protecta Clinical Study), system performance will be evaluated. In Phase II (PainFree SST), the inappropriate shock-free rate at one year of subjects implanted with a Medtronic Protecta implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) and cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D) will be evaluated.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the cardiovascular outcomes of alogliptin, once daily (QD), compared with placebo, in addition to standard of care, in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and acute coronary syndrome.
This open-label study will assess the efficacy and safety of Avastin with or without pemetrexed as maintenance therapy in patients with advanced, metastatic or recurrent non-small cell lung cancer. In Part 1, patients will receive 4 cycles of treatment with Avastin (7.5mg/kg iv) plus cisplatin (75mg/m2 iv) plus pemetrexed (500mg/m2 iv) on day 1 of each 3-week cycle. In Part 2, patients responding to treatment will be randomized to receive further treatment cycles of Avastin (7.5mg/kg iv every 3 weeks) with or without pemetrexed (500mg/m2 iv every 3 weeks). Anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression. Target sample size is <500 individuals.
