There are about 3709 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Thailand. 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 purpose of this study is to assess pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of Apixaban and clinical outcome of Apixaban in Thai patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation with varying degree of creatinine clearance

colonoscopy has been a preferred modality for colorectal screening which efficiently reduce in morbidity and mortality of the disaese. Although colonoscopy is a safe procedure, some patients may be suffered from major and minor complications. Abdominal discomfort (approximately 30%) usually persisted for 2 days after colonoscopy. These unsatisfactory experiences might affect the patients' willingness to return for a repeat colonoscopy, which the loss of adherence eventually reduce the effectiveness of colorectal cancer screening and surveillance. Furthermore, during colonoscopy preparation, the patients are required to take large volume Polyethylene glycol-electrolyte lavage (PEG-EL) solution for bowel preparation which possibly lead to unpleasant gastrointestinal symptoms likewise. Prokinetic agents are a class of drugs that promoted gastrointestinal motility and, thereby, decrease transit time. This stimulatory effect was considered clinically relevant to the management of disorders characterized by impaired motility, such as gastro-esophageal reflux, gastroparesis, intestinal pseudo-obstruction, and colonic inertia. Prokinetic agents have various mechanism such as Cholinergic agonists, Dopamine antagonists (i.e.Domperidone, Metoclopramide), Serotonergic agonists (i.e. Cisapride, Prucalopride,Mosapride). Interestingly, these drugs have been used to minimize the unpleasant abdominal symptoms from colonoscopy. The objective of this study is to examine the efficacy of a prokinetic agent in alleviating abdominal discomfort during the period of colonoscopy preparation and aftercolonoscopy consecutively.
Talaromycosis continues to be a common opportunistic fungal infection among people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) in Southeast Asia and remains a leading cause of death among this population. Itraconazole (ITZ) is an important component of talaromycosis treatment. In Thailand, the capsule formulation of ITZ is primarily used to treat talaromycosis but it is known to have lower bioavailability than the more expensive solution formulation. Limited data on the drug exposure of ITZ with the capsule formulation are available in adults PLWHA in Thailand. Moreover, the effect of efavirenz (EFV), which has been recommended as the first line antiretroviral therapy in Thailand, to ITZ level is not well understood. Thus, our aim is to assess ITZ pharmacokinetics with and without EFV in adult PLWHA receiving talaromycosis treatment with the capsule formulation. An understanding of the relationship between ITZ drug exposure and its active metabolite (hydroxyl-itraconazole) and treatment response is also planned to help optimize therapy.
Nefopam is a benzoxazocine derivative which is non-opioid and non NSAIDs. The previous studies showed that nefopam can inhibit reuptake of serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine. It has no respiratory depression so may be useful in potential airway compromized surgery like anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). This study aims to study the analgesic properties of nefopam after ACDF.
Tourniquet use during total knee replacement (TKR) improves visibility, significantly decreases intra-operative blood loss and reduce operative time. However, tourniquet use also has a negative effect on postoperative pain, postoperative range of motion(ROM), wound complication, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), thigh muscle strength, and functional recovery after TKR. Therefore, the investigators conducted a three-arm prospective, randomized, controlled trial study to compare the efficacy of different tourniquet pressure used between systolic blood pressure + 75 mmHg, systolic blood pressure + 100 mmHg, and systolic blood pressure + 150 mmHg.
Severe pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (PARDS) is a life-threatening and frequent problem experienced by thousands of children each year. Little evidence supports current supportive practices during their critical illness. The overall objective of this study is to identify the best positional and/or ventilation practice that leads to improved patient outcomes in these critically ill children. We hypothesize that children with high moderate-severe PARDS treated with either prone positioning or high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) will demonstrate more days off the ventilator when compared to children treated with supine positioning or conventional mechanical ventilation (CMV).
This study will evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of Bimatoprost Sustained Release (SR) in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension who completed 1 of the 4 Phase 3 Bimatoprost SR studies (192024-091, -092, -093, or -095) and received Bimatoprost SR or who received commercial DURYSTA (Bimatoprost SR) in the open-label Phase 4 ARGOS study (MED-MA-EYE-0648) and completed (or exited early from) the study.
This is a community intervention effectiveness study in female school students in Thailand. The study objectives are: 1. To demonstrate HPV vaccine effectiveness of Single Dose (SD) by a reduction in vaccine-type HPV prevalence (HPV 16 and HPV 18) at Year 2 and Year 4 post vaccination compared to unvaccinated same grade female students 2. To demonstrate that HPV vaccine effectiveness of SD and two-dose (2D) regimens are similar by comparing reductions in vaccine type prevalence at Year 2 and Year 4 post vaccination compared with the baseline surveys in the two provinces
Complications during general anesthesia,induction period: difficult airway, hypotension, upper airway obstruction, laryngospasm, pulmonary aspiration Maintenance period: hypotension, hypertension, awareness, bronchospasm, pulmonary aspiration. Emergence period: delayed emergence, upper airway obstruction, pulmonary aspiration. Pulmonary aspiration occur all ranges of general anesthesia. Because the patients can not protected themselves due to anesthetic medication, example: volatile agent, opioid.This can cause decrease consciousness, delayed gastric emptying time. Incidence of pulmonary aspiration was 1 : 900 - 1 : 10,000 of general of anesthesia (induction 20%, emergence 80%), Anesthesia Service in Siriraj Hospital (2017) 6: 25,000 case Pathophysiology of pulmonary aspiration. Pulmonary aspiration is defined as inhalation of oropharynx or stomach contents through the larynx to low respiratory tract. Aspiration pneumonitis is the inflammation of the lung caused by aspirating or inhaling irritants (Mendelson's syndrome). Gastric acid is a digestive fluid formed in the stomach and is composed of hydrochloric acid, potassium chloride, and sodium chloride.The highest concentration of gastric acid is 140-160 mEq/L. The pH of gastric acid is 1.5-3.5 in the human stomach lumen. Risk factors for increased gastric contents: full stomach, delayed gastric emptying, incompetent lower esophageal sphincter, lithotomy position, laparoscopy, length of surgery more than 2 hr., difficult airway. This study observed Volume and pH of Gastric Contents in Patients undergoing Gynecologic Laparoscopic Surgery during Emergence from General Anesthesia.
