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.
ORFAN is a prospective, multi-centre, multi-ethnic cohort observational study collecting CT scans, biological material and outcomes data, to develop and validate novel biomarkers of cardiometabolic and other disease risk.
PHOMS Study is a randomized, controlled, open-label, prospective, and multicentric clinical trial involving outpatients diagnosed with Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis (SPMS) or Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS). The primary objective is the safety profile assessment of the investigational intervention (Extracorporeal Photopheresis -ECP) and its preliminary efficacy evaluation, while the secondary objective is the assessment of the immune response profile in MS patients.
Bed rest after embryo transfer (ET) has been clinically advised without robust scientific evidence. In investigators' unit, post ET instructions are given immediately after ET to sub-fertile women while lying in bed. The aim of the study is to compare the reproductive outcome of this practice compared with immediate ambulation and giving instructions after emptying the bladder.
To compare the efficacy and safety of remibrutinib versus teriflunomide in patients with relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS)
Sotrovimab is a newly developed monoclonal antibody for the treatment of mild and moderate COVID-19 patient, who are at high risk for progression to severe COVID-19, including hospitalization or death. This includes, for example, individuals who are 65 years of age and older or individuals who have certain medical conditions. The safety and effectiveness of this investigational therapy continues to be evaluated for treatment of COVID-19. Sotrovimab is not authorized for patients who are hospitalized due to COVID-19 or require oxygen therapy due to COVID-19. As the clinical trial results are too preliminary for the drug to enter routine use in UAE the drug approved only for emergency use, until further evidence shows Sotrovimab is effective, so we thought about this study as a tool to assess the success of Emirats Health service (EHS) strategy for fighting against COVID-19 outside the hospital setting.
Study on outcomes on bariatric surgery, particularly in terms of metabolic parameters in the UAE is scant. Also Genetic data from this population is limited and hence a study on genetic determinants of response to bariatric surgery is highly warranted. This study is expected to provide a better understanding of the causes of severe obesity in the UAE population and help us to evaluate the efficacy of Bariatric surgery in patients with genetic forms of obesity. The information generated will allow us to better advise patients regarding the risks and benefits of Bariatric Surgery as a treatment. Objective To investigate the metabolic outcomes of bariatric surgery, to study the prevalence of monogenic forms of obesity among a cohort of patients with morbid obesity who underwent bariatric surgery and to compare the outcomes of Bariatric surgery in patients with and without underlying genetic condition.
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.
Atopic dermatitis (AD; also known as atopic eczema) is an inflammatory skin disease. The safety and effectiveness of upadacitinib for AD has been well-documented in previous studies, however, important information is missing on the use patterns and outcomes with upadacitinib in a real-world setting. Therefore, the purpose of this observational study is to help inform real-world usage patterns regarding the safety and effectiveness and duration of response of upadacitinib in adolescent and adult AD participants >=12 years old in the real-world setting. Upadacitinib is an approved drug being developed for the treatment of AD. Around 975 adolescent and adult participants who are prescribed upadacitinib for the treatment of AD in routine clinical practice will be enrolled worldwide. Participants will receive oral upadacitinib as prescribed by their physician. Data from these participants will be collected for approximately 2 years. There will be no additional burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the course of the study at a hospital or clinic and will be asked to provide additional information by questionnaire at each visit.
This is randomized, blinded and controlled design. Among the randomly selected subjects who have been vaccinated with two doses of Inactivated COVID-19 vaccine (Vero cell), based on a step-wise approach, the subjects will receive one dose of recombinant COVID-19 vaccine sequentially at different shedules of 4-6 months, 7-9 months and >9 months after two doses of vaccination, and the subjects vaccinated at different schedules will be randomly assigned to different sequential immunization groups. At the same time, each sequential immunization group will be matched with a control group with the inactivated COVID-19 vaccine (vero cells) as the booster dose.
