There are about 2118 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Malaysia. 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.
Approximately one third of patients with schizophrenia show a poor response to standard treatment with antipsychotic medications. This treatment resistant group of patients represents a major challenge in everyday psychiatry, and consumes a disproportionate amount of time from the clinicians, resulting in considerable costs to the society and government. Anecdotal evidence suggests that the enzyme dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPPIV) may be altered in patients with schizophrenia, with a higher level DPPIV enzyme activity being noted. We postulate that this may play a role in the neuropathology of schizophrenia patients and by inhibiting the DPPIV enzyme activity with a DPPIV inhibitor such as linagliptin, we will be able to improve and even ameliorate the symptoms of schizophrenic patients. However, until now there have yet any studies on the potential of these inhibitors in schizophrenia patients. A pilot study is thus proposed to evaluate the potential of the DPPIV inhibitor, linagliptin as an adjunct in schizophrenia patients who are non-responsive to treatment, which will establish the feasibility of a larger trial.
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of BIIB023 in participants with lupus nephritis (LN).
The main purpose of this prospective, multicenter, open-label phase II study, was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pasireotide alone or in combination with cabergoline in patients with Cushing's disease.
The objectives of this time-to-event study were to assess the efficacy and safety of eculizumab as compared with placebo in participants with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) who were anti-aquaporin-4 (AQP4) antibody-positive.
The purpose of this trial or study is to determine if pacemaker therapy can be a beneficial alternative to conventional medical therapy in patients with a history of moderate heart failure. The investigators are looking to enroll approximately 180 people in this trial. Patients will be randomized in two groups. One group will be implanted with a pacemaker and will continue to receive conventional medical therapy as prescribed by their doctor. The second group will continue to receive conventional medical therapy as prescribed by their doctor and will not be implanted with a pacemaker. Clinical histories, physical exams, and external device testing will be collected both at the time of enrollment in the trial and during follow-up study visits. Patients who enter the study will be seen for study visits at 1 month, 3 and 6 months.
The purpose of this study is to determine if treatment with celecoxib and pregabalin together would prove to be more effective in relief of pain than treatment with celecoxib alone in people who have chronic low back pain with a probable neuropathic component.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of fasiglifam (TAK-875) plus metformin compared with sitagliptin plus metformin on glycemic control over a 24-week Treatment Period.
Primary Objective: To demonstrate the treatment effect of sarilumab and methotrexate (MTX) compared to etanercept and methotrexate (MTX) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and an inadequate response to adalimumab and methotrexate by evaluation of the Disease Activity Score for 28 joints (DAS28). Secondary Objectives: To assess the signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in patients taking sarilumab in combination with methotrexate (MTX). To assess the quality of life of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) taking sarilumab in combination with methotrexate (MTX). To assess the safety and tolerability of sarilumab in combination with methotrexate (MTX) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
Long-term study to evaluate if macitentan is safe, tolerable and efficient enough to be used for treatment of Eisenmenger syndrome.
The immediate release (IR) formulation of retigabine has been shown to be superior to placebo as adjunctive therapy in 3 adequate and well-controlled studies in subjects with drug-resistant partial-onset seizures (POS) who had previously failed to respond to two or more antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) and were still having seizures despite current treatment with 1, 2, or 3 AEDs. However, of 1244 subjects randomly assigned to treatment in these 3 clinical studies, only 10 were Asian subjects and only 5 of these Asian subjects were randomly assigned to treatment with retigabine. Therefore, this Phase III study is being conducted to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability, and health outcomes of retigabine, at doses of 900 mg/day and 600 mg/day, compared with placebo in adult Asian subjects with drug-resistant POS.
