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.
Selenium is an important trace element for human for its multiple roles such as the antioxidant activity. Previous evidences showed that critically ill patients may benefit from selenium supplement but the dose and results are controversial. Patients after operations for acute abdomen usually suffer from sepsis and stress. The aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy of selenium replacement in critical patients of acute abdomen, to see the impact on prognosis.
This was a study of tirzepatide in participants with obesity or overweight. The main purpose was to learn more about how tirzepatide maintained body weight loss. The study had two phases: a lead-in phase in which all participants took tirzepatide and a treatment phase in which participants either continued tirzepatide or switched to placebo. The study lasted about 2 years (25 visits).
This multicenter, single-arm, open-label study will evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of satralizumab in participants with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) who completed open-label extension (OLE) period of studies BN40898 and BN40900. Participants will receive satralizumab as monotherapy or in combination with one of the following background immunosuppressive treatments: azathioprine (AZA), mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), or oral corticosteroids.
According to the statistics of the National Health Insurance Administration Ministry of Health and Welfare, the number of patients about gastroesophageal reflux disease has increased from 610,000 to over 760,000 in the past three years (2016-2018). Western medicine mainly uses proton pump inhibitors to improve symptoms. For patients who are ineffective in drug treatment, it will be treated by surgical treatment (Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication, endoluminal gastroplication).
The main topic of the research is to investigate the tongue's strength when swallowing. There has been much foreign literature on tongue strength. Iowa Oral Performance Instrument also has norms for reference, but the data are all taken from non-Asian people such as Caucasians. In this case, the credibility of the norms are decreased in domestic, and we also lack norm data of tongue strength when swallowing. Through the research, we can establish normative data belonging to the domestics, provide usable data for domestic researchers and clinical staff, and explore whether there are differences in age and gender in data between Taiwanese and foreigners.
This is a study of tirzepatide in participants with type 2 diabetes who have obesity or are overweight. The main purpose is to learn more about how tirzepatide affects body weight. The study will last 79 weeks (22 visits).
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy of additional 6-week treatment cycles with rozanolixizumab in study participants with generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG).
According to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) in 2017 investigator found that the incidence of type 2 diabetes is currently 425 million people aged 20 to 79 in the world, and this data will increase o 629 million at 2045, The etiology of more than 90% is related to aging, it has become a serious challenge to public health. Sarcopenia is a newly noticed severe syndrome characterized by reduced walking speed, decreased grip strength, and decreased muscle mass. Patients with type 2 diabetes are at risk of sarcopenia and are those with normal blood sugar. One of the main ways to improve the face of sarcopenia is to exercise intensity. By carrying out a gradual training plan instead of using different weights, it will lead to muscle hypertrophy and increase in muscle strength to achieve muscle gain. In view of the fact that the commercially available sandbags are cheap and easy to obtain, the weight is fixed, and the use variability is high, it is expected to introduce quantitative weight-bearing progressive exercises in type 2 diabetes and have symptoms of muscle loss to improve muscle mass, and to control blood sugar. The quality of life can have better benefits.
Many studies (including ASPEN/ESPEN) have demonstrated that balanced diet formula rich in omega 3 fatty acids (ω-3 FA), fibers, protein as well as mineral, vitamins (trace elements) are essential for cancer patients to improve health status and tolerability of chemotherapy. Hence, the present multi-centered, randomized clinical trial was framed to evaluate the efficacy of ready to use balanced nutritional formula-PCNF (rich in ω-3 FA, fibers, MTC, BCAA, and micro-nutrients), in various cancer patient by checking calorie intake and overall health status through assessing various anthropometric and biochemical parameters especially total proteins, pre-albumin, and transferrin.
The study is to evaluate whether the efficacy of 1PC111 is superior to pitavastatin and ezetimibe in patients with primary hypercholesterolemia or mixed dyslipidemia in the 12 week treatment period.
