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.
The objectives of the study are: o Objective ultrasound: Determine the presence or absence of subclinical DVT in practicing ultrasound-Doppler Day7 and Day35, patients who underwent TKA or THA o Clinical objective To evaluate the efficacy and tolerability clinical Enox ® in these patients compared with the original drug Lovenox ®.
Evaluation of systematic administration of oral prednisolone (1mg/Kg/day) as an add on therapy in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) patients admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) for severe exacerbation of COPD. Patients with pneumonia are excluded. Randomization is stratified according to ventilatory support: non invasive or conventional ventilation.The major outcome is the ICU mortality rate in overall population and stratified according to ventilatory mode (noninvasive ventilation (NIV) versus conventional). Secondary outcomes are superinfection necessitating a new antibiotic course, Length of mechanical ventilation (MV) (and ventilatory free days), Length of ICU stay, The frequency of gastric bleeding episodes that of frequency of hyperglycemic episodes.
The general aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of afatinib alone and in combination with weekly vinorelbine (in patients who progress on afatinib monotherapy within this trial) as treatment in patients with HER2-overexpressing, locally advanced or metastatic inflammatory breast cancer. The study will include patients who have and have not failed prior trastuzumab treatment.
Primary Objective: - To demonstrate the non inferiority in term of overall survival (OS) of cabazitaxel 20 mg/m² (Arm A) versus cabazitaxel 25 mg/m² (Arm B) in combination with prednisone in patients with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (MCRPC) previously treated with a docetaxel-containing regimen. Secondary Objectives: - To evaluate safety in the 2 treatment arms and to assess if cabazitaxel 20 mg/m² is better tolerated than cabazitaxel 25 mg/m². - To compare efficacy of cabazitaxel at 20 mg/m² and 25 mg/m² for: - Progression Free Survival (PFS) defined as the first occurrence of any of the following events: tumor progression per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST), PSA progression, pain progression or death due to any cause - Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA)-Progression - Pain progression - Tumor response in patients with measurable disease (RECIST 1.1). - PSA response - Pain response in patients with stable pain at baseline. - To compare Health-related Quality of Life (HRQL) - To assess the pharmacokinetics and pharmacogenomics of cabazitaxel
Patients will receive escalating doses of ldarubicin combined to Azacitidine given at the FDA/EMEA approved Schedule and dosing. For the Phase I study : Determine the safety and tolerance of escalating doses of Idarubicin combined to Azacitidine in patients with INT-2 or higher risk MDS. For the phase II study: Primary: Evaluate rate and duration of response (according to IWG 2006 criteria and IWG 2000 criteria) to the combination of Idarubicin and Azacitidine in patients with INT-2 or higher risk MDS
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of GFT505 80mg in reducing serum Triglycerides (TG) and increasing High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (HDL-C) levels compared with placebo in atherogenic dyslipidaemic patients with abdominal obesity, and to assess the tolerability and safety of once-a-day administrations of oral doses of GFT505 during 28 days.
This open-label, multi-center study in a local environment will evaluate the safety and the effect on disease activity with regard to reduction in signs and symptoms over 6 months of treatment in patients with moderate to severe active rheumatoid arthritis who experienced an inadequate response to a non-biologic DMARD. Tocilizumab 8 mg/kg will be administered as an intravenous infusion every 4 weeks for a total of 6 infusions as monotherapy or in combination with methotrexate (MTX). The anticipated time of study treatment is 24 weeks.
This study will further investigate the safety and efficacy of nilotinib in newly diagnosed chronic myeloid leukemia patients in the chronic phase
The primary objective was to demonstrate the effect of teriflunomide, in comparison to placebo, on frequency of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) relapses in patients with relapsing forms of MS who are treated with Interferon-beta (IFN-beta). The secondary objectives were: - Assess the effect of teriflunomide, in comparison to placebo, when added to IFN-beta on: - Disease activity as measured by brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) - Disability progression - Burden of disease and disease progression as measured by brain MRI - Evaluate the safety and tolerability of teriflunomide when added to IFN-beta therapy - Assess the pharmacokinetics of teriflunomide in use in addition to baseline IFN-beta therapy - Assess associations between variations in genes and clinical outcomes (safety and efficacy) - Assess other measures of efficacy of teriflunomide such as fatigue and health-related quality of life - Assess measures of health economics (hospitalization due to relapse, including the length of stay and any admission to intensive care unit)
This randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, parallel-group study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of ocrelizumab in comparison with interferon beta-1a (Rebif) in participants with relapsing multiple sclerosis. Participants will be randomized to receive either ocrelizumab 600 mg or matching placebo intravenous (IV) as 300 mg infusions on Days 1 and 15 for the first dose and as a single infusion of 600 mg for all subsequent infusions every 24 weeks, with placebo injections matching interferon beta-1a SC three times per week; or interferon beta-1a 44 mcg SC injections three times per week (with placebo infusions matching ocrelizumab infusions every 24 weeks). Planned duration of double-blind treatment is 96 weeks. Participants who complete the 96-week double-blind treatment will have an option to enter a single-group, active-treatment, open-label extension period, providing they fulfill the eligibility criteria.
