There are about 3491 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Singapore. 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.
Accurate blood pressure (BP) measurement is critical in peripartum care. The cuff and bladder sizes affects the accuracy of BP measurement. Current international BP measurement recommendations are based on mid-arm circumference (MAC). However, evidence have shown the discrepancies between these sizes, leading to inaccuracy of BP measurement. This study will measure arm and finger size of 300 parturients in third trimester to determine whether the MAC, finger measurement or body mass index (BMI) is the best clinical predictor for non-standard cuff sizes for BP measurement.
To meet the unmet need of better and safer pain relief for acute pain in the post-operative setting, a Vital-signs-integrated Patient-assisted Intravenous opioid Analgesia ("VPIA") Delivery System, with novel and intelligent software algorithms and specialised hardware was developed. In the previous project, the investigators have shown that this system has the potential to increase the safety and patient satisfaction with intravenous opioid analgesia. However, opportunities to develop more robust vital signs monitoring with the goal of ensuring continual and effective analgesia are identified. The primary aim of this proposal is to advance the development of technology (through new features and functionality) and perform clinical evaluation of the VPIA system with a larger sample size to show improvements in patient's satisfaction (pain relief) and robustness of system in terms of vital signs integration. Novel technology using adaptive vital signs controller, integrated with an infusion pump and single finger probe vital signs monitor system will be developed with the aim for commercialisation.
Long-Term Safety and Efficacy of Nemolizumab in Subjects with Moderate-to-Severe Atopic Dermatitis Description
This research project aims to provide the scientific findings about the beneficial effects of okara (soybean pulp) consumption on gut and glycaemic health in middle-aged and older individuals in Singapore. In addition, it aims to examine the health promoting impact of bio-transformed okara in this population. We hypothesise that consuming a habitual diet with an okara (untreated or bio-transformed) incorporated food product will improve the gut microbiome composition and will increase the production of short chain fatty acids when compared to a same diet with no okara. Okara-based food product can also improve the glycaemic response in individuals compared to a product without okara in meal tolerance test (acute).
To investigate the effects of two types of oil blends on blood lipid profile, glucose homeostasis, body composition, gut microflora and other markers of cardiometabolic disease risk in Chinese men and women with borderline hyperlipidemia
This study has 2 parts. The first part of the study is done. The first part was open to adults with different types of advanced cancer (solid tumors). The second part is open to people with specific types of soft tissue sarcoma, advanced lung cancer, and cancer in the stomach, bladder or bile ducts. The participants get a combination of 2 medicines called brigimadlin (also called BI 907828) and ezabenlimab (also called BI 754091). Brigimadlin is a so-called MDM2 inhibitor that is being developed to treat cancer. Ezabenlimab is an antibody that may help the immune system fight cancer (immune checkpoint inhibitor). When the study started, some participants got a third medicine called BI 754111 in addition. Treatment with BI 754111 was stopped because data from another study showed no additional effect of BI 754111. The purpose of the first part of the study was to find out the highest dose of brigimadlin that the participants could tolerate in combination with ezabenlimab. This dose is used in the second part of the study. The purpose of the second part is to see whether the combination of brigimadlin with ezabenlimab is able to make tumors shrink. The participants are in the study as long as they benefit from treatment and can tolerate it. Ezabenlimab treatment is limited to 2 years. During this time, they get infusions of ezabenlimab, and take tablets with brigimadlin every 3 weeks. The doctors check how many participants have health problems during the study. The doctors also monitor the size of the tumor.
In this study, we aim to evaluate the efficacy and safety of an individualized dosing schedule comprising Aflibercept and RF-PDT in patients with polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV). The primary objective is to compare the polyp closure rate at week 12 between the 2 treatment groups. The secondary aims include comparing visual, anatomical, treatment burden and clinical biomarkers between each treatment group.
This study was to assess the antitumor activity, safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of the Mesenchymal-epithelial Transition Factor (MET) inhibitor tepotinib combined with the 3rd generation EGFR inhibitor osimertinib in participants with advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a silent epidemic that affects 11.3% of Singaporeans. It has numerous clinical sequelae including macrovascular and microvascular disease. Nutritional therapy has been widely accepted as being safe and affordable as compared to pharmacotherapy. It is estimated that current nutritional therapy is able to reduce HbA1c levels by 1 to 2 percent under ideal circumstances. A weight loss of >5% is needed to have any significant beneficial effects on the levels of HbA1c, lipids, and blood pressure. This requires extensive modification of lifestyle, calorie restriction, regular exercise, and close supervision by health care professionals; impracticable for most patients. Intermittent Fasting that has been shown to be effective in improving the metabolic state of human subjects. The investigators ask if a simpler dietary regime based on time restricted eating would produce the necessary weight loss and good metabolic outcome. In this pilot single arm pre-post study, 50 adult diabetic patients will be educated on Time Restricted Eating As Treatment (TREAT). Under this intervention, subjects will skip one meal a day and aim for a fasting period 16 hours a day. In the 8 hours where eating is permitted, subjects are encouraged to eat normally based on what is recommended for diabetic patients in usual care. Relevant clinical parameters, such as blood glucose control, lipid and triglyceride levels and anthropometry will be monitored over a 12-week period. This study would have major clinical impact if it is found that TREAT can result in the improvement of cardiometabolic parameters and is practicable and sustainable in a real world setting.
This is a phase 1b, multi-arm, open-label study of HDM201 in combination with MBG453 or venetoclax in subjects with AML or high-risk MDS. For all subjects, TP53wt status must be characterized by, at a minimum, no mutations noted in exons 5, 6, 7 and 8. Two treatment arms will enroll subjects in parallel to characterize the safety, tolerability, PK, PD and preliminary antitumor activity of HDM201+MBG453 (treatment arm 1) and HDM201+venetoclax (treatment arm 2). - In the treatment arm 1, subjects will receive HDM201 in combination with MBG453. - In the treatment arm 2, subjects will receive HDM201 in combination with venetoclax. Venetoclax dose will be gradually increased (ramp-up) over a period of 4 to 5 days to achieve the daily target dose tested that will be subsequently continued. Upon the completion of the escalation part, MTD(s) and/or RD(s) of HDM201 in combination with MBG453 or venetoclax in AML and high-risk MDS subjects will be determined for each treatment arm.
