There are about 59 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Bahrain. 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.
There is initial evidence that the choice of anesthesia can influence survival in the specific setting of coronary artery bypass grafting surgery (CABG). A recent international consensus conference included volatile agents among the few drugs/techniques/strategies that might reduce perioperative mortality in cardiac surgery and that should be further studied. Volatile anesthetics (desflurane, isoflurane and sevoflurane) have non-anesthetic pharmacological characteristics that confer cardiac protection when compared to Total IntraVenous Anesthesia (TIVA). Several randomized controlled studies were summarized in a meta-analysis that documented a reduction in perioperative cardiac troponin release and mortality in patients receiving volatile anesthetics when compared to patients receiving a TIVA. There are four published studies (Bignami et al. 2009) (De Hert et al. 2009) (Jackobsen et al. 2007) (Landoni et al. 2007) suggesting that these benefits can translate into a reduced mortality rate in patients receiving volatile agents. The level of evidence for these four studies is not high (one meta-regression, one underpowered randomized controlled study, one retrospective study and one meta-analysis of small randomized studies) and there is need for a large multicentre randomized controlled study to confirm these findings, as suggested by the international consensus conference on this topic published in 2011 (Landoni et al 2011). The purpose is to provide a large multicentre controlled randomized trial to demonstrate that volatile anesthetics can reduce 1 year mortality from 3% to 2% in patients undergoing CABG (either with or without cardiopulmonary bypass). The results of this study can support the use of volatile agents in all CABG procedures worldwide (more than 500.000 per year) with 2.500 lives saved per year (in the hypothesis that nowadays half the procedures are performed with a TIVA and that 1 year mortality can be reduced from 3% to 2% using volatile agents).
This international study is a prospective noninterventional observational cohort study of patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation who are prescribed rivaroxaban under routine treatment conditions to prevent stroke or non-central nervous system systemic embolism. Patients will be followed up for 1 year or until 30 days after end of rivaroxaban therapy in case of therapy was discontinued earlier than 12 months. Serious adverse events will be followed up adequately. Laboratory values (e.g., Hb, HCT, haemoccult) should be documented for each point in time they were measured.
The overall aim of the study is: To provide accurate and reliable information regarding NSCLC clinical management across MENA region in order to detect unmet medical needs of this disease in terms of: - Patient and hospital characteristics. - Diagnostic and treatment approaches: initial and subsequent. - Follow-up patterns in clinical management. - Outcomes: symptoms, death, functionality, quality of life. - Use of resources and burden on patients and health care systems.
This observational study will assess factors leading to dose reductions/treatment discontinuations and the effect on sustained virological response in patients with chronic hepatitis C receiving a long-acting interferon (e.g. Pegasys/peginterferon alfa-2a) and ribavirin. Data will be collected from each patient for the duration of their treatment and for up to 6 months thereafter.
The purpose of this study is to determine the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) prevalence and HPV type distribution among women ≥ 20 years of age attending routine cervical screening and among women ≥ 16 years of age presenting for post-natal check up in the Kingdom of Bahrain.
To investigate the therapeutic effectiveness of long acting nifedipine containing combination therapy in the treatment of hypertensive patients.
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.
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.
For each patient, an initial visit and at least one follow-up visit at the end of treatment should be documented by the treating physician in the case report form.
This study is a prospective, company-sponsored, non-interventional cohort study of up to 5000 patients in European countries and countries in Middle East who are newly prescribed any available OC. Patients will be followed up approximately 6 months after initial visit. Selection of Study Population: Women can be enrolled after decision for treatment with Yasmin or any other OC has been made. Physicians should consult the full prescribing information for the respective OC before enrolling patients and familiarize themselves with the safety information in the product package label.
