There are about 10560 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Taiwan. 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.
Vascularized lymph node flap transfer (VLNT) was believed to be the treatment of choice for moderate-to-severe lymphedema. Recent publications have supported the use of supermicrosurgical lymphaticovenous anastomosis (LVA) for treating severe lymphedema. This study hypothesizes whether LVA can be performed on post-VLNT patients seeking further improvement.
Phase 1 randomized, vehicle-controlled, blinded study to assess the safety, tolerability, and PK of single ascending doses of inhaled TLC19 in healthy volunteer subjects.
To compare the efficacy outcomes of the L-MIND cohort with the effectiveness in a matched patient population treated with systemic NCCN/ESMO guideline listed regimens administered in routine clinical care.
Exercise is the most effective way on reducing visceral adipose tissue (VAT), which is strongly linked with obesity to hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and insulin resistance. However, the current exercise dosage for reducing VAT cannot be accurately quantified. The aims of this study are to develop and test the optimal exercise dosage and sequence for reducing VAT in overweight and obese community residents. Purposive sampling will be used to enroll at least 206 participants aged 40-65 years and body fat more than 30% without diet control from 2 community centers in southern Taiwan. The project will use the sequential multiple assignment randomized trial (SMART) design to conduct a 16-week 2-stage (each for 8-weeks) adaptive exercise intervention for community residents. In the first stage, participants will be randomized into groups performing 8 weeks either moderate intensity of aerobic exercise or interval training 3 times per week. Participants whose VAT does not decrease by over 3%, measured using a body composition analyzer, compared with the baseline will be 1:1 rerandomized into groups with aerobic exercise combined with resistance exercise or received the exchange of first stage treatment (interval training or aerobic exercise) in the second stage. Those with substantial response to the first-stage intervention (VAT reduction of more than 3%) will continue to receive the same exercise treatment until 16 weeks. Linear mixed model, weighted and replicated regression will be used to identify the optimal sequence of exercises for the greatest reduction in VAT. The findings can assist clinical health workers to develop exercise prescriptions for effectively reducing VAT, and help community residents reduce VAT through exercise to achieve the health promotion.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and immunogenicity of MVC-COV1901 vaccine compared to placebo in participants who are generally healthy or with stable pre-existing health conditions.
This is an observational study that assess the baseball pitchers' fatigue status. The purpose of this study is to find the pitching mechanic change and the fatigue point to provide guidance for coaches to schedule training items . It is expected that earlier detect the pitchers' fatigue point could be able to prevent overuse injury caused by compensatory actions.
This study takes place in the Divisions of Urology. Patients who have only received hormonal therapy will be enrolled. Patients will be randomly sorted into an experimental group and a control group after completing a pretest questionnaire. The experimental group will receive the the multimedia hormone therapy information program once per week for 6 consecutive weeks, while the control group will receive routine care. The follow-up data collections will be completed at 8 and 12 weeks after the pretest. For quantitative measurement, the main variables will be social support, self-efficacy, quality of life, and positive thinking.
This study is a prospective, multi-site, randomized, shamcontrolled, double-blind trial with one-way crossover designed to assess the effectiveness and safety of the Gimer NeuroBlock SCS Trialing System for the treatment of chronic back pain and/or lower limb pain. The NeuroBlock SCS Trialing System is an ultra-high frequency SCS device for the treatment of patients with chronic back pain and/or lower limb pain who are refractory to conservative pain management. After screening procedures, eligible subjects will enter the study which is comprised of a 1-week randomized testing period, a 1-week follow-up period and 2-week observation period.
This is an open-label, 2-cohort, multicenter, Phase 2 study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tislelizumab combined with or without ociperlimab (BGB-A1217) in participants with previously treated recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer.
The purpose of this study is to explore the differences between stress, anxiety, depression, mindfulness, mother and infants bonding, salivary amylase activity, and postnatal maternal outcomes for prenatal mental disorders in women with mindfulness prenatal education program
