There are about 188 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Kuwait. 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.
- Background/Rationale: Epidemiological data about Primary Immunodeficiency Disorders (PIDD) in Kuwait is needed to better understand peculiarities and to compare them with other regions and ethnicity. - Study hypothesis: PIDD is relatively common in Kuwait compared to populations from different geographic areas. The distribution of PIDD in Kuwait is different from other geographic areas with more severe forms being more frequent. - Brief inclusion and exclusion criteria of study participants: PIDD patients presented at different clinics/hospital in Kuwait. Patients with secondary immunodeficiencies (drug induced, virus induced, and immunodeficiency associated with metabolic disorders... ect), will be excluded - Estimated sample size of the study: All patients who were registered in KNPIDR since 2004 will be included in the study along with the new patients who will be recruited during the study period. - Primary objectives: - Determine the prevalence and frequency of different PIDD in Kuwait - Identify clinical presentation patterns for PIDD in Kuwait - Identify natural history of PIDD in Kuwait - Help to asses epidemiology of PIDD in Kuwait - Determine particularities about PIDD affecting the population in Kuwait - Determine the health impact of PIDD in Kuwait - Development of strategies to improve the care and the quality of life of patients with PIDD
The aim of this observational study is to evaluate the quality of life in patients with congenital afibrinogenemia using the Haemo-QoL SF for kids and the Haem-A-QoL for adult patients.
This was an unblinded, randomised controlled study, the purpose of which was to investigate the impact of a structured health education intervention on the glycaemic control of Type 2 diabetes patients within a Kuwaiti cultural context.
The EatWellQ8 study aims to investigate the effectiveness of a mobile web application (e-Nutri), capable of delivering automated personalised nutrition advice, compared with face-to-face nutritional advice, in increasing diet quality. Dietary assessment is via the validated Food4Me FFQ (with an updated user interface that has been designed for better usability) and dietary feedback is derived according to adherence to an 11-item modified US Alternative Healthy Eating Index (m-AHEI).
Patients who are critically ill in the in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), especially those who need a breathing machine, can develop ulcers in the stomach that bleed. To prevent bleeding, many such patients around the world receive a drug called pantoprazole that decreases acid production. However, today, compared to decades ago, critically ill patients rarely develop upper gastrointestinal bleeding. This decrease is likely due to modern medicine, better resuscitation and earlier feeding. There may also be harms associated with pantoprazole and other drugs that reduce acid levels in the stomach including lung infections (pneumonia) and bowel infections (Clostridioides difficile). Studies in this area are old and of modest quality. Therefore, it is difficult to know whether pantoprazole does decrease stomach bleeding these days, or whether the possible harms of lung and bowel infections are actually more common and more serious problems. The goal of this international study is to determine if, in critically ill patients using breathing machines, the use of pantoprazole is effective in preventing bleeding from stomach ulcers or whether it causes more problems such as lung infection (pneumonia) and bowel infection (Clostridioides difficile), or whether pantoprazole has no effect at all. Whether the harms are worth the benefits, and whether the benefits are worth the costs, will be determined by an economic analysis to inform patients, families, clinicians, and healthcare systems globally.
This is a clinical trial that will be done in the state of Kuwait, at the physical rehabilitation medicine hospital. the participants will be recruited from all over Kuwait, there is a clinical registry upon the ethical committee in Kuwait assigned by the ministry of health.
AURIGA is designed to collect data from routine clinical practice on the effectiveness and utilization of intravitreal aflibercept in the treatment of visual impairment due to diabetic macular edema (DME) or macula edema secondary to retinal vein occlusion (RVO). The primary objective of this observational study (OS) is to evaluate the effectiveness of intravitreal aflibercept in 4 cohorts (with/without prior treatment in DME or macular edema secondary to RVO) in each of the participating countries. Additionally, utilization and treatment regimens in routine clinical practice will be described. Health care resources and services as well as health out-comes related to vision loss will be evaluated based on information collected using the AURIGA patient questionnaires.
This study aims at evaluating real life effectiveness of originator adalimumab (Humira®) participants with active non-infectious intermediate, posterior and panuveitis (NIIPPU) despite high-dose corticosteroid therapy; including effect on ocular inflammation, health-related quality of life, health resource utilization, work ability and medication burden, as well as describe the characteristics of NIIPPU participants treated with Humira® in the real-life setting.
This is a prospective, multicenter, open-label, single-arm, phase 3b study which evaluates effectiveness and safety of ocrelizumab in participants with early stage RRMS. The study will consist of an open-label treatment period of 192 weeks and follow-up period of at least 48 weeks. The optional shorter infusion substudy will evaluate the safety of a shorter infusion of ocrelizumab in a subgroup of participants with early stage RRMS enrolled in the main MA30143 study. Approximately 700 patients will be enrolled in the substudy, and will receive additional 600 mg ocrelizumab administered in a shorter time frame.
The objective of this study is to explore and describe the disease characteristics, treatment and outcomes of participants with rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis, Crohn's Disease or ulcerative colitis as the major disease treated with REMICADE, SIMPONI or STELARA in clinical practice in the emerging regions of North Africa, the Middle East, and Western Asia.
