There are about 515 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Tunisia. 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.
Prospective, longitudinal, interventional, multicenter natural history study to better understand the LGMDR5/2c disease physiopathology. The duration of participation for each patient will be up to 24 months.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and preliminary efficacy of OMS906 in patients with C3 Glomerulopathy (C3G) and Idiopathic Immune Complex-Mediated Glomerulonephritis (ICGN)
Prospective observationnal study, including ICU adult patients with invasive mechanical ventilation for at least 48 hours. Patients are included when performing weaning from mechanical ventilation with pressure support (lowest level of pressure support). Before separating the patient from the ventilator and performing a T tube spontaneous breathing test, diaphragm ultrasound is performed bilaterally : diaphragm excursion, diaphragm thickening fraction and maximal contraction and relaxation velocities with tissue doppler imaging.
Cardiac amyloidosis (CA) has recently been reported as a common cause of heart failure with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (HFpEF), with a prevalence of 6% in elderly HFpEF patients. However, the diagnosis of CA is still challenging and requires multiple costly investigations. Regardless of the type of CA, TTR or AL, early diagnosis significantly improves prognosis. In this study, the investigators aimed to determine the prevalence of CA in Tunisian HFpEF patients and to identify clinical and ultrasound criteria predictive of CA.
Colorectal cancers (CRC) represent the 1st digestive cancer and the 3rd cancer in the world. The World Cancer Research Fund summarized evidence from observational studies and concluded that low dietary fiber, and high red and processed meat (RPM) intakes were associated with higher risk of (CRC), whilst physical activity (PA) protected against developing colon cancer. Post-treatment management is essential for improving the health and quality of life of colorectal cancer (CRC) survivors. The number of cancer survivors is continually increasing, which is causing a corresponding growth in the need for effective post- treatment management programs. To date, there is insufficient information available from the published literature as to the most effective way in promoting lifestyle changes in CRC survivors. Moreover, none of these interventions have been conducted in an African population. We aim to assess whether the proposed program may effectively modify the targeted behaviors, to evaluate whether the dietary and PA interventions of the "Moving Bright, Eating Smart" program are effective in reducing the consumption of red and processed meat (RPM) and refined grain (RG), increasing the physical activity (PA) levels in north African (Libyan and Tunisian) adult colorectal cancer (CRC) survivors and to assess the efficacy of behavioral interventions on cancer outcomes (overall survival, disease free survival).
In several studies comparing the tow types of pancreato-digestive anastomosis: pancreatogastrostomy (PG) and pancreatojejunostomy (PJ), authors concluded that PG exposed to more postpancreatectomy hemorrhage (PPH) especially early, digestive and moderate hemorrhage classified as type A according to the classification of the ISGPS. In this way we try to test the ability of the enteral administration through the nasogastric tube of Etamsylate for 48 hours after Whipple to reduce the rate of digestive PPH and mortality.
A substantial number of people with COPD suffer from exacerbations, which are defined as an acute worsening of respiratory symptoms. To minimize exacerbations, telehealth has emerged as an alternative to improve clinical management, access to health care, and support for self-management. The study objective was to map the evidence of telehealth/telemedicine for the monitoring of adult COPD patients after hospitalization due to an exacerbation.
The aim of this study is to assess bioequivalence between a single oral dose from the test product Metformin / Vildagliptin tablets (850 mg as metformin hydrochloride / 50 mg as vildagliptin) manufactured by SAIPH versus the reference product Galvumet® tablets (850 mg as metformin hydrochloride / 50 mg as vildagliptin) manufactured by Novartis. This study also aims to monitor the safety of the subjects. This study is an open-label, randomized, fed, single oral dose, two-treatment, two-sequence, and two-period crossover study with a washout interval of at least one week between dosing. Eighteen (18) Tunisian subjects will be enrolled in this study. Subjects will be healthy volunteers, adults, aged between eighteen to fifty (18-50) years, (both inclusive), within the accepted limits for body height & weight and meeting the selection criteria for this study
Postoperative pain management in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) surgery is a real challenge for the anesthesiologist. Effective pain control must be provided while preserving the mobility to ensure early rehabilitation. The adductor canal block is an effective way to induce sensory block without motor block. However, the major disadvantage of this block is the duration of sensory block which may be insufficient for postoperative pain management in TKA surgery. Many studies have focused on finding molecules that can prolong sensory block without the need for a perineural catheter and dexamethasone is among the most studied molecules(1, 2). Hence, our study aims to evaluate the added value of perineural dexamethasone in the adductor canal block in TKA surgery. [
The aim of this study is to assess bioequivalence between a single oral dose from the test product Metformin / Vildagliptin tablets (1000 mg as metformin hydrochloride / 50 mg as vildagliptin) manufactured by Pharmaceutical Arab Industries Society, Tunisia versus the reference product Galvumet® tablets (1000 mg as metformin hydrochloride / 50 mg as vildagliptin) manufactured by Novartis. This study also aims to monitor the safety of the subjects. This study is an open label, randomized, fed, single oral dose, two-treatment, two-sequence, and two-period crossover study with a washout interval of at least one week between dosing. Eighteen (18) Tunisian subjects will be enrolled for this study. Subjects will be healthy volunteers, adults, aged between eighteen to fifty (18-50) years, (both inclusive), within the accepted limits for body height & weight and meeting the selection criteria for this study.
