There are about 5618 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in India. 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 main objective of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of aflibercept treatment by comparison to placebo in increasing the overall survival (OS) in participants with metastatic pancreatic cancer, treated with gemcitabine. The secondary objectives were to evaluate progression free survival, clinical benefit, overall response, safety and immunogenicity of aflibercept, in the two treatment arms (Arm 1: Aflibercept and Gemcitabine; Arm 2: Placebo and Gemcitabine). The study included an interim analysis of OS. In accordance with the study protocol, an interim analysis was performed for the purpose of futility and overwhelming efficacy. On the basis of the interim analysis, the Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) recommended that this study be terminated for futility based on predefined boundary rules.
OncoGel is a new experimental drug delivery system that allows the slow continuous release of paclitaxel (an approved intravenous anticancer drug), from a gel (ReGel) over a long period of time. The gel will disappear in 4 to 6 weeks as it releases the paclitaxel. The protocol is directed towards evaluating the efficacy and safety of paclitaxel delivered as a local, intralesional treatment when used in combination with chemotherapy (cisplatin and 5-FU) and radiation therapy before surgery.
GW856553 is a novel compound, currently in development for the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), and other indications. GW856553 inhibits a protein which is responsible for the production of some pro-inflammatory molecules, called cytokines. Increased blood levels of these molecules were seen in populations of MDD patients and this was more apparent in subjects with severe symptoms, psychomotor retardation and loss of energy. Aim of the present study is to assess whether GW856553, by inactivating this protein, is able to suppress the production of the cytokines, and ultimately relieving depression symptoms. In this study GW856553 or placebo is given to MDD patients 7.5md twice daily for 6 weeks.
This protocol is designed to assess the efficacy and safety of inotuzumab ozogamicin given with rituximab compared to a defined investigator's choice therapy. Subjects will be randomized to one of these two arms of the study.
The purpose of this study conducted in Asia-Pacific was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Sorafenib in combination with paclitaxel and carboplatin versus placebo in combination with paclitaxel and carboplatin for chemonaive patients with unresectable stage IIIB (with effusion) or stage IV NSCLC. However, as indicated below, the study was terminated prematurely when the results from Study 11961 (NCT00300885), an earlier Phase 3 study of similar design in subjects with advanced NSCLC, showed an overall lack of efficacy and increased mortality in subjects with squamous subtype. The data available is presented as descriptive analyses, due to the limitations of implementing the statistical analysis plan.
The purpose of this study was to determine whether, in patients with type 2 diabetes and pre-existing disease of the heart and the circulatory system and/or the kidney, aliskiren at a target dose of 300 mg once daily (compared to placebo), on top of conventional treatment, reduces death and disease caused by the heart, the circulatory system and the kidney. AMENDMENT 4 RATIONALE (MARCH 2012) : Protocol amendment 4 served to address the data monitoring committee recommendation dated 14 Dec 2011 to discontinue study treatment in all participating patients. It also addressed the subsequent Health Authorities request to implement a 12 month safety follow-up period (actual duration was 9 months in average) post study drug discontinuation.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of JNJ-18054478 measured by the percent change from baseline in Forced Expiratory Volume in one Second (FEV1) after 12 weeks of therapy in patients with persistent asthma.
This study proposed the comparison the overall survival, hematological toxicity, pain reduction score,PSA levels, tumor response, quality of life in two arms of HRPC patients from different parts of India.
This trial is conducted in Europe, Asia, Oceania and the United States of America (USA). This is a one-year clinical trial to compare the safety of inhaled preprandial human insulin to subcutaneous insulin aspart in subjects with type 1 or 2 diabetes and asthma.
Within the last decade the customary trend of using non absorbable sutures has changed, with numerous studies and meta-analyses advocating the use of slowly absorbable sutures, claiming comparable wound strength with significantly lower incidence of wound complications. It was the objective of this randomized clinical trial to compare two universally accepted suture materials, the non-absorbable Nylon and the slowly absorbable Polydioxanone for midline abdominal closure in the Indian context.
