There are about 148 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Morocco. 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.
Problematic and state of the art Obesity and its associated non communicable diseases (NCDs) are rising rapidly in middle income countries, such as those in the Maghreb (North Africa). This progression is related to the context of a nutrition transition (changing food and physical activity environment) and profound changes in technological advances and in society. These societies and their health systems are insufficiently prepared for this evolution, which has enormous health and socioeconomic consequences. In the context of limited resources, the priority has been given on an international level to prevention. But several problems arise: - these countries are still confronted by undernutrition in terms of micronutrient deficiencies, which coexist with obesity and NCDs, including at a family level and also individual level. Known as the 'double burden', this coexistence is relatively new and has been rarely documented until recently. Educational measures could be ineffective in a society where cultural norms do not recognise obesity and where changes in lifestyle are possibly not seen as acceptable. As well as information about citizen's knowledge of risk factors, data on their perceptions and attitudes are indispensable. Policies that involve changing the 'obesogenic' environment that individuals occupy is a priority. Objectives of the project Overall aim: to contribute to the development of preventive strategies for obesity and chronic NCDs in the context of a nutrition transition. Specific objectives: characterise the nature and size of the double burden (obesity/undernutrition) in regions, families and individuals; estimate the prevalence of biological and behavioural risk factors; characterise the psycho-sociocultural determinants of behaviour.
This is an expanded access programme to make Pegasys (peginterferon alfa-2a) available to patients with HBeAg-negative chronic hepatitis B in Morocco. Patients will receive Pegasys 180 mcg subcutaneously weekly for 48 weeks and efficacy and safety will be recorded during treatment and for 24 weeks of follow-up.
Investigate the inhibitor development rate of Human cl rhFVIII in previously untreated patients with severe Hemophilia A.
This open label, single arm study will assess the safety and efficacy of RoActemra/Actemra (tocilizumab) in patients with moderate to severe active rheumatoid arthritis who have an inadequate response to disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs). Patients will receive RoActemra/Actemra at a dose of 8 mg/kg intravenously every 4 weeks for 24 weeks (6 infusions).
This trial is conducted in Africa and Asia. The aim of the trial is to compare patient-adjusted versus physician-adjusted titration of BIAsp 30 combined with metformin in type 2 diabetes patients uncontrolled on NPH insulin.
This multicenter, open-label, single-arm, Phase IIIb study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of pertuzumab in combination with trastuzumab (Herceptin) and a taxane (docetaxel, paclitaxel or nab-paclitaxel) in first-line treatment in participants with metastatic or locally recurrent HER2-positive breast cancer. Participants will receive pertuzumab intravenously (IV) and trastuzumab (Herceptin) IV plus a taxane in cycles of 3 weeks each until predefined study end, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, disease progression, or death, whichever occurs first.
This multicenter, two-cohort, non-randomized, open-label study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of assisted and self-administered SC Herceptin as adjuvant therapy in participants with early HER2-positive breast cancer following tumor excision. Participants will receive Herceptin 600 milligrams (mg) SC every 3 weeks for 18 cycles, either by an assisted administration using a conventional syringe and needle/vial formulation (Cohort A) or with assisted and self-administration using a single-use injection device (SID) in selected participants (Cohort B).
This trial is conducted globally. The aim of this trial is to assess the efficacy and safety of liraglutide in the paediatric population in order to potentially address the unmet need for treatment of children and adolescents with type 2 diabetes.
This study is conducted in Africa and Asia. The aim of this study is to evaluate in the participating countries the orthopaedic status and the degree of arthropathy of severe haemophilia patients in general.
The primary objective of this study was to collect additional safety of INC424 in patients with Primary Myelofibrosis, Post Polycythemia Myelofibrosis or Post-essential Thrombocythemia Myelofibrosis, who either received prior treatment with commercially available agents or who have never received treatment.
