There are about 57 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Sudan. 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.
Mycetoma is the most neglected of the neglected tropical diseases. It is caused by certain fungi or bacteria. It is endemic in many tropical and subtropical regions and Sudan seems to be the mycetoma homeland. This chronic subcutaneous destructive and disabling inflammatory disease has many serious medical and socio-economic impacts on patients, community and health authorities. This work may suggest new therapeutic options for mycetoma that target the inflammatory pathogenic pathway and hence help in designing universal treatment options for mycetoma patients. Two overlapping aims were investigated in this project to advance our overall goals: 1. Profiling the immune/inflammatory signatures in the tissue microenvironment of fungus-induced mycetoma lesions 2. Profiling the immune/inflammatory signatures in the tissue microenvironment of bacteria-induced mycetoma lesions.
This trial is designed to assess the therapeutic efficacy and safety of CHAd63-KH, a new candidate Leishmania vaccine, in patients with persistent PKDL. 100 participants will be randomly assigned (50 participants in each arm) to receive placebo or ChAd63-KH 7.5 x10(10)vp. Doses will be administered at a single time point.
Assessment of the long-term outcome of percutaneous ethanol alcohol injection (PEI) for the large and unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma: single center non-randomized trial.
This is an open label, Phase III, randomized, controlled, parallel arm multicentre non-inferiority clinical trial to compare the efficacy and safety of two combination regimens of Miltefosine and Paromomycin with the standard SSG-PM for the treatment of primary adult and children VL patients in Eastern Africa.
This is a study to assess the safety of a new candidate Leishmania vaccine ChAd63-KH in patients with persistent post kala azar dermal leishmaniasis (PKDL). This is a Phase II trial in patients with PKDL, to assess the safety and compare the humoral and cellular immune responses generated by the candidate vaccine in patients, and observe any clinical changes in the disease over a 42 day period following vaccination. Study design: Eight adult volunteers will receive 1x10(10)vp and the subsequent eight volunteers will receive 7.5 x10(10)vp. Adolescents will be vaccinated with either 1x10(10)vp or 7.5 x10(10)vp, to be determined by evaluation of all available data after DSMB & CTSC review.
This program is a comprehensive evaluation of rheumatic valvular heart disease (RVHD), Atrial fibrillation (AF)/flutter and stroke. A prospective, randomized, parallel group, open-label clinical trial of rivaroxaban versus standard vitamin K antagonists (VKA) therapy to evaluate non-inferiority of rivaroxaban to VKA, with testing for superiority if non-inferiority is satisfied.
This is a randomized controlled trial to assess the efficacy and safety of the national malaria treatment guidelines, asses the efficacy and safety of artesunate and sulphadoxine - pyrimethamine (AS+SP) for treatment in uncomplicated P. falciparum and P. vivax malaria and the hematologic effect of 14 days routine primaquine based radical cure in patients suffering from a P. vivax or mixed infection.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Gum Arabic is effective as fetal hemoglobin inducing agent for sickle cell anemia patients.
Root canal therapy will ideally eliminate post-endodontic pain but occasionally analgesics are needed to diminish the pain [1]. Development of pain after completion of root canal treatment may undermine patients' confidence in the procedure and the clinician [2]. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are one of the most frequently taken analgesic medications for dental pain. Their popularity attributed to their efficacy in relieving pain and fever and low side effect profile at therapeutic doses [3]. Mono-therapy analgesic has a low effect on dental pain. Improvement was performance by combining analgesics with different mechanisms of action without raising any adverse effects [4], was effective in controlling moderate to severe pain. The combination of a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) and paracetamol has shown additive analgesia for treating dental pain in several studies [5,6]. Endodontic treatment with a lower prevalence of postoperative pain is usually the treatment of choice. There have been no controlled dental studies evaluating the additive effects of combining a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug with paracetamol. Breivik et al [6] & Menhinick et al [7] found that a combination of acetaminophen and ibuprofen was more effective than ibuprofen alone in managing postoperative pain. Aim of the present study, to evaluate the efficacy of the paracetamol when used alone and in combinations with three groups of drugs to control postoperative endodontic pain.
Training and engaging of unpaid informal providers (such as tea-sellers, women's groups, youth clubs, small traders and religious groups) from poorer localities in TB disease recognition, referral and community awareness raising will increase the access of TB patients to formal health facilities and decrease their delay in initiating TB treatment.
