There are about 1183 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Indonesia. 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.
The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of a future trial that will assess whether an integrated intervention combining psychosocial counseling and supported referrals for antiretroviral therapy (ART) at any CD4 cell count and substance use treatment for HIV-infected people who inject drugs (PWID) will reduce HIV transmission to HIV-uninfected injection partners, as compared to routine care dictated by national guidelines for HIV-infected PWID.
The DOLF Triple Drug Therapy for Lymphatic Filariasis study will determine the frequency, type and severity of adverse events following triple-drug therapy (IVM+DEC+ALB, IDA) compared to the standard two-drug treatment (DEC+ALB, DA) in infected and uninfected individuals in a community in 5 different countries. The objective is to acquire safety, efficacy, and acceptability data to assess the safety and acceptability of the IDA drug combination.
Heart Failure has several etiologies and one of them is coronary artery disease. Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is one of revascularizations method which has been used for decades in coronary artery disease theraphy. However, data about coronary artery bypass grafting shows that post-CABG patients still have low ejection fraction. For the last decade, there have been a lot of studies about the using of stem cells to increase heart contractility and reverse the heart remodelling process. In this study, we use CD 133+ bone marrow stem cells which has been proved to have higher angiogenesis potential. The stem cells is given during CABG by injection transepicardial and transseptal. The purpose of this study is to determine whether transpicardial and transseptal injection of CD 133+ bone marrow stem cells can improve myocardial perfusion in patient with low ejection fraction following CABG surgery.
The aim of this non-interventional study is to describe patient's perception of anticoagulant treatment when using Pradaxa® to prevent stroke and systemic embolism while suffering from atrial fibrillation (according to its approved indication in the approved dosages of 110 mg or 150 mg twice daily) in comparison to standard care using Vitamin K Antagonist (VKA).
This study aims to compare the ventilation Distribution between tidal Volume 6ml/kgBW and tidal volume 10ml/kgBW in laparoscopic nephrectomy patients
The study is a pragmatic cluster randomized trial that is being conducted in 5 countries, with sites in 4 cities in Canada, Benin, Ghana, Indonesia and Vietnam. The unit of randomization is the health facility (24 health facilities randomized). The trial tests a complex intervention-a two phase programmatic public health package which includes a standardized public health evaluation and analysis, to identify problems and barriers limiting Latent Tuberculosis Infection diagnosis and treatment among close contacts of active Tuberculosis cases. This will be followed by implementation of appropriate solutions and strengthening of the LTBI clinical program. The primary objective will be to estimate the increase the number of household contacts initiating LTBI treatment per newly diagnosed index patient, within 3 months of diagnosis of the index patient. A secondary objective is to evaluate the cost effectiveness of this two phase intervention. If successful, this approach can be expanded throughout these countries. After initial preparations, including administrative and ethical review, all participating sites will be randomized to intervention or control. Immediately after this, Phase 1 will begin in intervention sites with the standardized public health evaluation to identify barriers to LTBI diagnosis and treatment initiation and the selection of solutions to be used in Phase 2. To ensure standardization of data gathering research staff will use (i) current indicators of the Latent Tuberculosis Infection cascade of care in intervention facilities (number of contacts per index case registered, investigated, started on treatment and completing treatment) and (ii) interviewer administered questionnaires for patients with active pulmonary Tuberculosis, adult and child household contacts and clinic staff. These questionnaires will assess latent Tuberculosis-related knowledge, attitudes and beliefs from the perspective of these different participants. Results from intervention sites in Phase 1 will be analyzed, and used by the investigators, together with local public health officials, to decide on appropriate corrective solutions in each sites. Contact Investigation registries will also be developed with research staff from sites. In Phase 2, solutions for problems identified will be selected and implemented at the intervention sites, Contact Investigation registries will be implemented and clinical training will be provided to strengthen LTBI health care worker knowledge and clinical programs. Study outcomes and costs will be measured at all intervention and control sites throughout Phase 1 & 2. The main study will run for 18 months. Upon completion of the main study, a 1 year cross over study will be conducted where control sites will receive a streamlined version of the intervention and original intervention sites will be used to evaluate the sustainability of the intervention. Results will be disseminated within each country through existing links with National Tuberculosis Programs, and through international organizations such as the World Health Organization.
This study evaluated the safety and efficacy of peginterferon alfa-2a monotherapy in participants with Chronic Hepatitis C (CHC) who have End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) and were undergoing hemodialysis.
Tafenoquine (TQ) is an 8-aminoquinoline anti-malarial drug which is in development as a single-dose treatment for the radical cure of P.vivax malaria when given with standard doses of chloroquine. Currently, the only available drug for radical cure is primaquine (PQ) which requires administration over 14 days, resulting in poor compliance. In Indonesia, chloroquine has been replaced by artemisinin-based combination therapy (i.e. ACTs) due to widespread chloroquine resistance. This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of a single dose of tafenoquine when co-administered with an ACT (i.e. DHA-PQP). This single-center, double-blind, double-dummy, randomized study will test the superiority of DHA-PQP plus TQ against DHA-PQP alone in the prevention of P. vivax malaria relapse at 6 months. The study will be conducted in male Indonesian soldiers diagnosed with P.vivax malaria on return from deployment to a malarious region of Indonesia. A PQ plus DHA-PQP comparator arm is included to provide an informal comparison against the standard 14 day treatment for P.vivax malaria in Indonesia. Subjects who are glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficient (G6PD deficient) will be excluded due to the risk of acute hemolysis following dosing with 8-aminoquinolines drugs. Subjects who have a recurrence of P.vivax malaria during the study will be treated with an ACT plus PQ (0.5mg/kg for 14 days), in line with local treatment guidelines. At the end of the 6 month follow up period, any subject who has not relapsed will be given open label PQ (0.5mg/kg daily for 14 days) to minimize the likelihood of relapse after the study. Approximately 200 subjects will be screened to achieve 150 randomized subjects. The total duration of study for each subject will be 180-195 days. This study is being carried out to support registration of TQ in Indonesia and other countries where ACTs are first line therapy.
Malaria remains an important cause of illness in young infants. Our clinical and epidemiological studies in Papua (Indonesia) have shown the magnitude of malaria morbidity in infants in the first 5 years of life, including recurrent episodes of malaria, anaemia, malnutrition and coinfection. Together these contribute significantly morbidity in early life, and almost certainly to the very high infant mortality rates in this region. However the body of knowledge around infant malaria outside of Africa, where both species P. vivax and P. falciparum are prevalent is considerable smaller. The impact of recurrent vivax malaria and severe anaemia on neurodevelopment and growth in young children is unknown in Papua. This study therefore aims to provide longitudinal data on the incidence of symptomatic and asymptomatic malaria (P. falciparum and P. vivax) and the associated risk of anaemia. It also provides an opportunity to assess incidence risk of non-malaria febrile illnesses and bacterial co-infections and the long term outcomes in terms of neurodevelopment and growth in a vulnerable age group. The study is a continuation from two already established cohort studies: "STOP MIP", which enrolled pregnant women and followed them until delivery and a "baby-cohort", which enrolled babies from mothers included in the cohort and followed them through their first year of life. Continuous follow up of those babies until they are 4 years old will increase our understanding of long term impact especially of vivax malaria. The cohort will be linked to a randomized controlled trial (RCT) and will offer cohort patients to be enrolled into the RCT when they are diagnosed with malaria (symptomatic), allowing to estimate treatment effectiveness.
Plasmodium vivax can form dormant liver stages that reactivate weeks or months following an acute infection. Recurrent infections can be associated with a febrile illness, a cumulative risk of severe anaemia, and even mortality. In co-endemic areas the risk of recurrence after both P. vivax and P. falciparum infections can be over 50% within 3 months. The only drug we have to kill P. vivax hypnozoites is primaquine which is currently given as a 14 day regimen. In Papua a retrospective study found very low effectiveness for unsupervised treatment. If true this has profound effects on treatment policy, suggesting that greater efforts are needed to encourage adherence to treatment. We propose a cluster randomized, controlled, open label trial to assess the effectiveness of unsupervised versus supervised primaquine treatment in patients with uncomplicated malaria. Since the risk of recurrent P. vivax is high in patients with either P. vivax or P. falciparum, both infections will be included in the study. The study will be conducted in Mimika, in the southern part of Papua Province, Indonesia. Participants will be enrolled at village health posts and provided with schizontocidal treatment plus primaquine radical cure which will be either supervised or unsupervised depending on which cluster the clinic is in. Participants will be followed up for 6 months and assessed in regular intervals for the presence of patent and sub-patent malaria. The outcome of the study will contribute to an improved treatment scheme for uncomplicated malaria in this area.
