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.
The current study aims to investigate the cognitive effects of diet-induced blood glucose fluctuations on cognitive performance in healthy older adults over multiple days, taking advantage of the currently available techniques to continuously measure blood glucose levels and to assess cognitive performance in a real-life setting. In this fully decentralized study, subjects will undergo two times a three-day measurement period, where their blood glucose will be continuously measured by a minimally invasive sensor and where the cognitive performance is measured at multiple time points throughout a day using a short test battery administered on their mobile phone. In addition to receiving standardized breakfast and lunch meals, the subjects are administered a low-GI(Glycemic Index) or normal-GI(Glycemic Index) snack in the morning and afternoon.
This study will assess the safety and efficacy of Osimertinib with Amivantamab as First-line Treatment in Participants with Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Mutation-Positive, Locally Advanced or Metastatic Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC).
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are common in adolescents and its prevalence has increased over the years, especially with more adolescents engaging in physical activities and competitive sports. Standard of care for these injuries would be an ACL reconstruction (ACLR) to allow return to function and sports and reduce the risk of post-traumatic arthritis and recurrent knee injuries. Rehabilitation post-ACLR is crucial to optimise surgical outcomes and prevent re-rupture of ACL. However, good compliance to rehabilitation is often a challenge for patients and healthcare providers. Telerehabilitation for this group of patients may help to augment rehabilitation by improving patient compliance and overcome barriers to behavioural change often observed in traditional in-person physiotherapy. It can also allow remote monitoring and provide feedback to patients during exercises. In addition, it is a useful tool during pandemic when in-person visits are not possible. Currently, very few studies have evaluated the use of telerehabilitation with remote monitoring for ACLR, especially in adolescents. The use of home-based telerehabilitation post ACLR may be key to improving patient motivation and exercise compliance in adolescents. For this pilot study, the intervention group will undergo the TAR program in addition to standard care, which involves self-administered exercises in initial 12 weeks post ACLR using a mobile application. The mobile application will detect key landmarks on the body for human pose estimation. Participants will be able to perform their exercises with real-time feedback given, allowing for proper execution of the exercises. Exercise adherence, range of motion and pain scores will be tracked via the application and therapists are able to monitor via the online dashboard. The control group will undergo standard in-person physiotherapy. Primary aim of this study is to examine exercise adherence in TAR program versus standard care post ACLR in adolescents. Secondary aims of this study are to examine the effects of TAR program on knee strength, range, function, quality of life, treatment satisfaction, self-determination and number of face-to-face rehabilitation sessions required after ACLR.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of RO7434656, a novel Antisense Oligonucleotide (ASO) therapy in participants with primary IgA nephropathy (IgAN) who are at high risk of progressive kidney disease despite optimized supportive care.
The primary objective of the study is to rule out an increase of >3mmHg in 24-hour average Systolic Blood Pressure at steady state (Week 4) compared to baseline. ABPM was chosen for the blood pressure assessment in this trial as recommended by the FDA for drugs intended for chronic use (Assessment of Pressor Effects of Drugs Guidance for Industry (FDA 2022)).
The main purpose of this study is to conduct blood tests to measure how much LY3493269 is in the bloodstream and how the body handles and eliminates LY3493269 when administered orally as test compared to reference formulations in healthy participants in fed and/or fasted states. The study will also evaluate the safety and tolerability of LY3493269 in these participants. The study will last up to 43 days excluding the screening period.
In Singapore, Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) is ranked number one in disease burden for children 0-14 years of age. The Child Development Unit at the National University Hospital serves 3000 children annually, of which 25-30% of children have been diagnosed with ASD. Therapist roles are to provide interim therapy for these children before entry into community-based Early Intervention Centres (EIPIC), which currently have waiting times of 6-9 months. Current limitations with interim care includes long wait times, high cost for families, lack of manpower and space to serve the patients, poor parental involvement due to their work commitments, parental difficulties attending frequent, needed, in-hospital therapy and difficulty generalizing patient treatment to the home/community setting (decreasing effectiveness). The proposed Telerehabilitation (also called Telerehab) initiative involves the use of video conferencing technology to help address the aforementioned deficits. Offering early intervention through Telerehab will enable previously unattainable benefits such as seeing the child in their home environment, allowing multiple caregivers to have access to the early intervention training, more frequent contact with families and the ability to trouble shoot real life difficulties in real time. The important advantages to the caregivers include less financial burden arising from time off from work and travel, more access to treatment over a longer period of time and ability to access a multidisciplinary team. An additional benefit for the children is they need not travel to unfamiliar environments, which is frequently distressing for children with ASD. Lastly, Telerehab is a sustainable initiative allowing for less manpower to cover the growing number of patients, and the possibility to be implemented in other government run hospitals and clinics facing similar challenges. Elaboration of benefits:1) Importance of parent and caregiver empowerment. Early Intervention in the current model has been predominantly centre based with initiatives to increase caregiver education. A large body of literature suggests that early intervention is highly successful when provided at the age of diagnosis, with younger children yielding better outcomes. Caregiver involvement is vital to long-term success, as they spend a significant amount of time with their child; they can support the generalizations of new skills. National Research Council identifies parent training to be the key component for successful intervention for children with autism. Parent training improves quality of life by reducing parental stress and increasing optimism.2) Addressing nationally identified gaps. The Enabling Master plan recommendations for 2012-2016 (under Ministry of Family and Social Development) identifies gaps in family involvement and support in acquiring necessary skills and knowledge to be competent in helping their children make developmental gains. Child Development Unit (CDU) envisions that Telerehab is a viable avenue for supporting parents in learning EI skills.3) Improving existing parent training programmes. CDU has successfully piloted a parent-training program for children with ASD called SPEECCH. In our study of the impact of this parent-training program, children made measurable progress in all four skill areas assessed (p<0.001). Focus on achievable and observable family- centred developmental goals showed evidence for increased parental understanding of children's learning and behaviour amp; effective use of strategies for facilitating communication and interactions to support their child's development (p<0.001). However this intervention service could not be sustained due to high caseload demands and insufficient manpower. Parent interviews during review visits identified having sustained contact with therapists and parent coaching to be key areas of need. Currently the service provides intervention for 24 children with ASD weekly for one hour across 12 weeks, and continued support for up to 20 weeks (maximum of 16 hours of intervention). Of the new referrals of 150 children with ASD, if a sustained service is to be provided, only a small group of children will receive intervention. In order to address the demand, the frequency and intensity of intervention has had to be sacrificed to be able to provide some service to all patients. Hence to maximize the impact of early intervention, a sustainable model of service delivery using technology through videoconferencing is being proposed.
Phase 1b, randomized, open-label, study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of RVM-V001 only, RVM-V002 only, or RVM V001 + RVM V002 (Co administered as Separate Injections) in healthy adults. The study will be conducted at one site in Singapore.
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the role of Time-in-Range to stratify the risk of micro vascular complications in adults with type 2 diabetes. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Is a lower Time-in-Range associated with a higher risk of diabetes microvascular complications, independent of HbA1c? 2. Is Time-in-Range lower among sulfonylurea and premixed insulin therapy users compared to non-sulfonylurea and non-premixed insulin therapy users, respectively.
This study is carried out to find out if a customized molecular test can identify a subgroup of patients with very-high-risk of developing stomach cancer within patients with intestinal metaplasia (IM). The investigators hypothesise that the incidence of dysplasia and GC cases in the molecular-test-positive group will be significantly higher than that in the molecular-test-negative group. Such a test has the potential to guide clinicians to better manage patients with IM by allowing endoscopic surveillance to be focused on individuals at very-high-risk of developing stomach cancer, at the same time avoiding or reducing endoscopies for those at lower risk.
