There are about 95 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Oman. 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.
This clinical trial is a Phase 2/3 study that will evaluate the efficacy and safety of etavopivat and test how well etavopivat works compared to placebo to improve the amount of hemoglobin in the blood and to reduce the number of vaso-occlusive crises (times when the blood vessels become blocked and cause pain).
The study aims to measure the effectiveness of refresher training after six months of baseline training on retention of CPR skills. Literature review and guidelines showed that there is significant decay in CPR skills after basic life support certification. This retention might be preserved as short as three months after basic life support certification. Frequent retraining within the standard two years of recertification was recommended. Recommendation did not specify the ideal timing and method for CPR refresher training. In this study, we are looking for a feasible, practical, easily applicable method for health care institute in order to maintain the required CPR skills. This study will be a randomized control trial in which the study group will be tested for their CPR skills at six and twelve months after CPR training before the start of the study and after six months assessment. The control group will be tested after twelve months from the initial training at the start of the research and with no CPR refresher in between. The outcome of the study will assess the effectiveness of a BLS refresher training at six months on retention of quality of CPR skills.
Overaction of the inferior oblique (IO) muscle is a commonly observed component of childhood strabismus, and is often seen combined with other ocular deviations. It manifests with excessive elevation of the affected eye in adduction, and may cause a pattern strabismus and vertical deviation of the affected eye. IO overaction (IOOA) may be primary or secondary to superior oblique underaction, is often bilateral, and may be symmetrical or asymmetrical. Surgical management of the overacting IO muscle is often required to achieve ocular alignment. The most commonly performed IO muscle weakening procedures are IO myectomy and graded IO recession. The surgical decision is primarily based on degree of overaction of the IO muscle. Various studies have compared the two IO weakening procedures and have reported a similar success rate for both procedures. The aim of this study is to compare the effect of two IO weakening procedures (symmetrical vs asymmetrical myectomy or graded recession) in normalizing the IOOA, obtaining vertical alignment and collapse of pattern, when employed in the treatment of asymmetrical IOOA.
Participants had randomly divided into two equal groups. Group (A) had received a program of high intensity interval training 30-40 minutes three times per week for one month. The participant will start cycling slowly for five minute without resistance at the beginning of the exercise as warming up, then the active phase will last 20-30 minutes, then decrease the speed with no resistance at the end of the exercise as cooling down. Group (B) will receive a program of inspiratory muscle training by using the threshold based inspiratory muscle trainer for 10-15 minute daily with frequency three times per week for four weeks.
The purpose of the Phase 2 CSEG101B2201 study is to confirm and to establish appropriate dosing and to evaluate the safety in pediatric participants ages 6 months to <18 years with a history of VOC with or without HU/HC, receiving crizanlizumab for 2 years. The efficacy and safety of crizanlizumab was already demonstrated in adults with sickle cell disease. The approach is to extrapolate from the PK/pharmacodynamics (PD) already established in the adult population. The study is designed as a Phase II, multicenter, open-label study.
