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.
Randomized, Interventional ,Open labeled, Parallel Assignment and Superiority trial.
The Parasitic Ulcer Treatment Trial (PUTT) is a multi-center, parallel-group, randomized clinical trial. The purpose of this study is to determine whether including topical corticosteroids in a regimen for acanthamoeba keratitis (AK) will improve vision. Patients presenting to all enrollment centers with evidence of acanthamoeba keratitis will be eligible for the trial if there is evidence of ocular inflammation after 4 weeks of anti-amoebic therapy. Those who agree to participate will be randomized to one of two treatment groups: - Group 1: Topical corticosteroid - Group 2: Topical placebo
Women who experience gestational diabetes are at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus in the postpartum period-especially in low- and middle-income countries like India where the burden of diabetes is high and disproportionately affects women- but few receive the World Health Organization-recommended postpartum diabetes screening test. The investigators propose a cluster randomized clinical trial to determine whether community health worker-administered, home-based testing increases uptake of postpartum diabetes screening in the urban slums of Pune, India. The proposed study will provide an acceptable and scalable model that can be used to improve postpartum diabetes screening in other low-income settings, thereby improving early detection of diabetes in women and preventing morbidity and mortality in this high-risk population.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test in patients with diabetic neuropathy, - Can Nevibolol at a dose of 2.5 mg- 10 mg compared with standard pain modulating treatment conserve the mean nerve action potential amplitude (sural and tibial nerves) at 24 weeks follow- up. - Can Nevibolol at a dose of 2.5 mg- 10 mg compared with a combination of Alpha Lipoic Acid (600 mg/day)+EPALRESTAT (150 mg/day) conserve the mean nerve action potential amplitude (sural and tibial nerves) at 24 weeks follow- up - All potential participants will undergo screening- about 10 ml of blood will be drawn to perform the following assesments at screening- HbA1c, FBS,Vit B12, TSH, fT4. - Baseline assessments conducting a nerve conduction study, quality of life assesment using Eq-5D-5L and NRS pain score. - 20% of patients (24 patients) will undergo Sudoscan, Corneal confocal microscopy and a skin biopsy for assessing IENFD (Intra Epidermal Nerve Fibre Density). - 15th day, 1 month and 3rd month followup for evaluating patients status and medication adherance. - 6th month followup for evaluating patients status and medication adherance. Researchers will compare Nebivolol against combination of Epalrestat+Alpha Lipoic Acid against standard pain modulating treatment to evaluate their diseaes modifying effect as reflected by nerve conduction study parameters.
SBP is a common complication of cirrhotics with associated increased mortality. After first episode of SBP there is increased risk of again developing SBP, with increased chance of developing resistant organism. So after the first episode of SBP, prophylaxis for prevention of second episode onwards is mandatory and therefore Rifaximin or Norfloxacin is considered. It has been seen that apart from preventing SBP they have other benefits with negligible side effects and therefore it is to be seen what other benefits including mortality benefits these drugs can confer.
A5409/RAD-TB is an adaptive Phase 2 randomized, controlled, open-label, dose-ranging, platform protocol to evaluate the safety and efficacy of multidrug regimens for the treatment of adults with drug-susceptible pulmonary tuberculosis (TB). A5409 hypothesizes that novel regimens for the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis will result in superior early efficacy, as determined by longitudinal mycobacteria growth indicator tube (MGIT) liquid culture time to positivity (TTP) measurements over the first 6 weeks of treatment, and will have acceptable safety and tolerability over 8 weeks of treatment relative to standard of care [(SOC) isoniazid/rifampicin/pyrazinamide/ethambutol (HRZE)]. The study will run for 52 weeks, inclusive of 26 weeks of TB treatment comprised of 8 weeks of experimental or SOC treatment (based on treatment arm assignment) followed by 18 weeks of SOC treatment with 45 participants in each experimental treatment arm and at least 90 participants in the SOC arm.
Primary objectives • To check for sensitivity and specificity of cystic fluid glucose level for differentiating the mucinous & non mucinous pancreatic cyst Secondary Objectives: - comparison of cystic fluid tumor makers like CEA with cystic fluid glucose level. - Check for cutoff value of cystic fluid glucose level for diagnosis of mucinous pancreatic cyst in Indian population.
This randomised controlled trial aims to compare treatment outcomes between pulpotomy and pulpectomy when used to treat vital primary molars diagnosed with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis. Compared to the standard pulpectomy treatment, pulpotomy is a technically simpler procedure, less time consuming, easier for young patients to tolerate, while retaining the proprioceptive sensation of the tooth - all important advantages when treating young children.
Gut microbiota and liver disease are very closely linked. Microbiota influences the various liver diseases by Dysbiosis ratio .There is loss of tolerance targeting liver antigens which is thought to initiate disease in genetically susceptible individuals. This is triggered by environmental agents such as pathogens.Autoimmune Liveer disease(AILD )patients have Specific bacterial profile and Alterations in bacterial metabolites and immune pathways trigger Autoimmune hepatitis( AIH)& lead to its progression .Apoptosis of intestinal epithelial cells in response to microbial stimuli presentation of self-antigens leading to differentiation of autoreactive Th17 cells and other T helper cells leading to T-cell response of AILD.(1). Disease-associated dysbiosis in untreated patients with AIH was characterised by reduced biodiversity, decreased abundance of anaerobes and increase of the genera Veillonella, Klebsiella, Streptococcus and Lactobacillus(2-3).It remains unclear whether this microbial signature is specific compared to other autoimmune liver diseases or other immune-mediated diseases, and whether it is reproducible across geographic borders .However there is Scarce paediatric data comparing gut microbiota in AILD vs other liver diseases and no data on role of gut microbiota on response to treatment in AILD . The aim of this study will be to To compare the gut microbiota (dysbiosis ratio, alpha and beta diversity, Shannon index) in children with autoimmune liver disease and Wilson disease, and study its influence on response to treatment in children with autoimmune liver disease.
ALD is the most common cause of liver cirrhosis in western world. In patients with ALD persistent alcohol intake is associated with increased mortality while cessation of alcohol consumption improve survival. Baclofen is GABA-B receptor agonist and it is safe in cirrhotic patient for alcohol abstinence i.e. already proven and naltrexone is Delta and k-opioid receptor antagonist and it is safe in cirrhotic for alcohol abstinence i.e, proven in ILBS.
