There are about 103 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Algeria. 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.
By Jan 7, 2020, Chinese scientists had isolated a novel coronavirus, from patients with virus-infected pneumonia. The WHO designated later this virus as COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019). This exponential pandemic coronavirus infection is responsible for severe forms in 15 to 20%, for critical ill requiring ventilation in 5% and for mortality in 2%. Algeria was part of the 13 top priority countries identified by WHO based on their direct links and volume of travel to the infected provinces in China. It is known that some predisposing conditions lead to a worse outcome with coronavirus. In China, the overall case-fatality rate was 2.3%, but was higher in patients with diabetes (7.3%). In Italy, the most common comorbidities associated with death from COVID-19 were hypertension (73.8%) and diabetes (33.9%). The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggests diabetes is the most common comorbidity in COVID-19 cases. In the largest cohort NHS England study, death from COVID-19 was strongly associated with uncontrolled diabetes (after full adjustment, HR 2.36). The West Algerian CORODIAB-13 study aims is (1) to assess the prevalence of diabetes among hospitalized patients with Covid-19, (2) to describe the phenotypic characteristics of patients with diabetes, and (3) to identify the parameters specific to the diabetic which are associated with severe forms. In the future, this study will provide answers for two main questions 1. Why diabetics are more at risk of developing Covid-19 infection? 2. Why diabetics are at high risk of developing severe forms?
The bile duct injury is a complication that occurs mainly after the cholecystectomy. Bile duct stricture is one of complications of this unwitting iatrogenic injury, the outcomes of surgery in this case are worse when the level of the stricture is above the helium. So what are factors influencing the occurrence of this high level bile duct obstruction ?
The study compares 2 medicines for type 2 diabetes: oral semaglutide (a new medicine) and placebo (a dummy medicine). Researchers will test semaglutide to see how well it works compared to placebo. The study will also test if semaglutide is safe. Participants will either get semaglutide or placebo - which treatment is decided by chance. Participants will get 1 tablet a day to take with up to half a glass of water. Participants must take the tablet first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. After taking the tablet, participants must not eat or drink anything for at least 30 minutes. After the 30 minutes, participants can have their first meal of the day and take any other medicines they may need. The study will last for about 8 months (36 weeks). Participants will have 9 clinic visits and 2 phone calls with the study doctor. At all 9 of the clinic visits, participants will have blood samples taken. At 5 of the clinic visits, participants must arrive fasting. This means they cannot eat for 8 hours before the visit. It is fine to drink water up to 2 hours before the visit. This is for some of the blood samples that will be taken at the visit. Women cannot take part if pregnant, breastfeeding or planning to become pregnant during the study period.
This study will test how well a new medicine called concizumab works in the body of people with haemophilia A or B with inhibitors. The purpose is to show that concizumab can prevent bleeds in the body and is safe to use. Participants who usually only take medicine to treat bleeds (on-demand) will be placed in one of two groups. In one group, participants will get study medicine from the start of the study. In the other group, participants will continue with their normal medicine and get study medicine after 6 months. Which treatment the participant gets is decided by chance. Participants who usually take medicine to prevent bleeds (prophylaxis treatment) or who are already being treated with concizumab (study medicine) will receive the study medicine from the start of the study. Participants will get 1 injection with the study medicine every day under the skin. This participants will have to do themselves and can be done at home. The study doctor will hand out the medicine in the form of a pen-injector. The pen-injector will contain the study medicine. The study will last for about six years. The length of time the participants will be in the study depends on when they agreed to take part or when the medicine is available for purchase in their country (12 November 2025 at the latest). Participants will have to come to the clinic for up to 41 times. The time between visits will be approximately 4 weeks for the first 6 to 12 months, depending on the group participants are in and approximately 8 weeks for the rest of the study. Participants will be asked to record information into an electronic diary during the study and may also be asked to wear an activity tracker.

Participants who usually take medicine to prevent bleeds (prophylaxis treatment) or who are already being treated with concizumab (study medicine) will receive the study medicine from the start of the study. Participants will have to inject themselves with the study medicine 1 time every day under the skin. This can be done at home. The study doctor will hand out the medicine in the form of a pen-injector. The pen-injector will contain the study medicine. The study will last for up to 6.5 years. The length of time the participant will be in the study depends on when they agreed to take part or when the medicine is available for purchase in their country (21 April 2026 at the latest). Participants will have to come to the clinic for up to 40 times. The time between visits will be approximately 4 weeks for the first 6 to 12 months depending on the group participants are in, and approximately 8 weeks for the rest of the study. If the participant attends extra visits due to the prescription medicine not being available for purchase in their country, these will be 14 weeks apart. Participants will be asked to record information in an electronic diary during the study and may also be asked to wear an activity tracker.
This study compares 2 medicines for type 2 diabetes: oral semaglutide (a new medicine) and sitagliptin (a medicine doctors can already prescribe). Participants will either get oral semaglutide or sitagliptin - which treatment is decided by chance. Participants will get 2 tablets a day to take first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. Only 1 tablet has study medicine in it. The other tablet is a dummy medicine (placebo). After taking the semaglutide tablet, participants may not eat or drink anything for at least 30 minutes. After the 30 minutes, participants must take the sitagliptin tablet. Then participants can have their first meal of the day and take any other medicines they may need, including their metformin. The study will last for about 7 months (33 weeks). Participants will have 8 clinic visits and 1 phone call with the study doctor. At all 8 of the clinic visits, participants will have blood samples taken.
The researchers are doing this study to look whether the type 2 diabetes medicine, semaglutide, has a positive effect on heart disease. Participants will either get semaglutide tablets or placebo tablets ("dummy" medicine) - which treatment is decided by chance. Participants must take one tablet with water every morning on an empty stomach and not eat or drink anything for at least 30 minutes. The study will last for about 3.5-5 years. Participants will have up to 25 clinic visits and 1 phone call with the study doctor. Women cannot be in the study if pregnant, breast-feeding or if they plan to become pregnant during the study period.
The study compares 2 medicines used for the treatment of children who are born small and who stayed small: somapacitan given once a week (a new medicine) and Norditropin® given once a day (the medicine doctors can already prescribe). Participants will either get somapacitan or Norditropin® - which treatment is decided by chance. Both participants and the study doctor will know which treatment the participants get. The study will last for 5 years. Participants will take either an injection once every week or once every day.
The purpose of the study is to collect information about how NovoMix® 30 works in real world adult population with type 2 diabetes. Participants will get NovoMix® 30 as prescribed by the study doctor. The study will last for about 6-8 months. Participants will be asked questions about their health and their diabetes treatment as part of their study doctor's appointment.
The study compares 2 medicines for children who do not have enough hormone to grow: somapacitan given once a week (a new medicine) and Norditropin® given once a day (the medicine doctors can already prescribe). Researchers will test to see how well somapacitan works. The study will also test if somapacitan is safe. Participants will either get somapacitan or Norditropin® - which treatment participants get, is decided by chance. Both participants and the study doctor will know which treatment participants get. The study will last for 4 years. Participants will attend 19 clinic visits and have 1 phone call with the study doctor.
