There are about 682 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Lebanon. 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.
A randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, 3-arm multicenter phase 3 study to assess the efficacy and safety of ianalumab in patients with active Sjogren's syndrome (NEPTUNUS-2)
This study is an open-label study to evaluate the safety of long-term administration of inclacumab in participants with sickle cell disease (SCD). Participants in this study will have completed a prior study of inclacumab.
This Phase III, randomized, two-arm, open-label, multicenter study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of giredestrant plus Phesgo compared with Phesgo after induction therapy with Phesgo plus taxane in participants with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive, estrogen receptor (ER)-positive advanced breast cancer (metastatic or locally advanced disease not amenable to curative treatment) who have not previously received a systemic non-hormonal anti-cancer therapy in the advanced setting.
The main objective of this study is to determine the acceptability and effectiveness of Distance Learning (DL) of basic suturing skills in novice learners. A prospective randomized controlled trial involving 118 pre-medical and medical students with no previous experience in suturing was conducted. Participants were randomized into two groups for learning simple interrupted suturing: F-F and DL groups (59 students in each group) . Evaluation was conducted by two independent assessors. Agreement between the assessors was calculated, and performance scores of the participants were compared between the two groups. All the participants demonstrated their ability to place three interrupted sutures, with no significant difference in the performance between the two groups. All the respondents positively rated the teaching sessions, found them useful and enjoyable. Distance learning of basic suturing is as effective as the face-to-face approach in novice learners
In this pilot study, we aim to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability and fidelity of Syrian refugee young adults as community mental health workers (Y-CMHW), and the impact of this work on outcomes of wellbeing, coping and stress. In addition, we aim to assess the mechanisms leading to any changes in these outcomes.
The objective of this study is to assess the effectiveness of online formative feedback and debriefing on nursing and medical students enrolled in the HBB course in comparison to traditional face-to-face feedback. The working hypothesis is that online feedback and debriefing during hands-on training sessions are as effective as face-to-face feedback and debriefing in teaching clinical skills to medical and nursing students.
The objective is to show that the use of therapeutic communication tools, in this case a comfort scale, a low cost and simple to implement method, can reduce pain and therefore the consumption of opioids in the postoperative care unit. Our hypothesis is that the use of a comfort scale will lead to significant postoperative opioid sparing, and consequently to a decrease in the opioid-related side effects The aim of this study is to compare postoperative opioid consumption between patients whose pain is assessed by a numerical verbal scale and those assessed with a comfort scale.
The aim of the study is to compare the tolerability and efficacy of Sucrosomial Iron to Oral Iron Therapy in a randomized controlled trial for the treatment of Iron Deficiency Anemia in Ulcerative Colitis patients.
Patient previously healthy found to have spontaneous gastric intramural hematoma
Autoinflammatory diseases (AID) are clinical entities characterized by recurrent inflammatory attacks in absence of infection, neoplasm or deregulation of the adaptive immune system. Among them, hereditary periodic syndromes, also known as monogenic AID, represent the prototype of this disease group, caused by mutations in genes involved in the regulation of innate immunity, inflammation and cell death. Based on recent experimental acquisitions in the field of monogenic AID, several immunologic disorders have been reclassified as polygenic/multifactorial AID, sharing pathogenetic and clinical features with hereditary periodic fevers. This has paved the way to new treatment targets for patients suffering from rare diseases of unknown origin, including Behçet's disease, Still disease, Schnitzler's disease, PFAPA (periodic fever, aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis and cervical adenitis) syndrome, chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO), non-infectious uveitis and scleritis. Gathering information on such rare conditions is made difficult by the small number of patients, along with the difficulty of obtaining an accurate diagnosis in non-specialized clinical settings. In this context, the AIDA project promotes international collaboration among clinical centres to develop a permanent registry aimed at collecting demographic, genetic, clinical and therapeutic data of patients affected by monogenic and polygenic AID, in order to expand the current knowledge of these rare conditions.
