There are about 3576 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in South Africa. 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.
This double-blind, placebo-controlled study is designed to assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of oral MK-8527 taken once monthly (QM) in participants at low risk for human immunodeficiency virus Type 1 (HIV-1) infection.
A Phase 2, Single-Centre, Open-Label, Parallel Control Arm, Randomised Clinical Study to Evaluate the Early Bactericidal Activity (EBA), Safety and Tolerability of Nebulised RESP301 in Adults with Newly Diagnosed, Rifampicin Susceptible Pulmonary Tuberculosis
Iron depletion is common in female athletes depending on the sports discipline. Endurance and resistance exercise can induce inflammation thereby reducing dietary iron absorption. Galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) improved iron absorption in young healthy women and infants, and improved gut inflammation in iron-supplemented infants. A stable isotope study will be performed to investigate the effect exercise and acute and chronic GOS supplementation on inflammation and iron absorption in female athletes.
This is a cluster randomized controlled trial determining the effectiveness of in-person or mHealth-based adolescent-friendly transition interventions compared to standard care on retention in care and viral suppression among adolescents living with HIV who have low transition readiness. Participants are adolescents living with HIV ages 15 to 19 years old in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.
This is a Phase III, multicentre, randomised, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, parallel group study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and effect of 1 or 2 mg baxdrostat versus placebo, administered once daily (QD) orally, on the reduction of systolic blood pressure in approximately 720 participants aged ≥ 18 years with hypertension, despite a stable regimen of 2 antihypertensive agents at baseline, one of which is a diuretic (uncontrolled hypertension); or ≥ 3 antihypertensive agents at baseline, one of which is a diuretic (treatment-resistant hypertension).
This is a study of amlitelimab for the treatment of participants with moderate-to-severe asthma. The study will have a double-blind treatment period until Week 24 for each participant and an open-label treatment period where each participant will receive open-label amlitelimab from Week 24 onwards. The purpose of this study is to evaluate long-term safety, tolerability, and efficacy of amlitelimab for the treatment of adult participants with moderate-to-severe asthma who have previously been enrolled and completed the treatment period of the parent study. The study duration will be up to 156 weeks. The treatment duration will be up to 144 weeks. The number of visits will be 18.
Human immuno-deficiency virus (HIV) is the virus that causes Acquired Immuno-Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). HIV disease is considered to be a chronic disease requiring lifelong therapy. The purpose of this study is to assess change in disease activity, adverse events, tolerability, and how the drug moves through the body. Budigalimab and ABBV-382 are investigational drugs being developed for the treatment of HIV disease. Participants are placed in 1 of 5 groups, called treatment arms. Each group receives a different treatment. There is a 1 in 7 chance that participants will be assigned to placebo (A placebo is not a drug and it is not expected to have any chemical effects on your body and it is not designed to treat any disease or illness). Approximately 140 adult participants living with HIV disease on stable antiretroviral therapy (ART) willing to undergo Analytical Treatment Interruption (ATI) will be enrolled at approximately 90 sites worldwide. Participants will receive 4 doses of IV budigalimab or placebo combined with 3 doses of IV ABBV-382 or placebo for an 8 week dosing period. Participants need to be stable on antiretroviral therapy to participate in the study. If participant qualifies to the study, on the day they receive the first injection, participants will be asked to stop antiretroviral medications (also referred to as analytical treatment interruption or ATI) for 52 weeks or until meeting specific criteria to restart antiretroviral medications. Participants will undergo a closely monitored ART interruption. Protocol-defined ART restart criteria includes participant's request. Participants will be followed for up to approximately 52 weeks. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. There will be an option for virtual or home health visits for some of the follow-up visits. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.
The main purpose of this study is to see if it is safe to give the study antibodies (3BNC117-LS-J and 10-1074-LS-J) by intravenous infusion to people with HIV (PWH), and to see if they cause any side effects. In addition, to see how the study antibodies affect the level of HIV in the blood when participants are not taking regular HIV treatment for an extended period. This extended period of not taking regular HIV treatment is called an analytical treatment interruption (ATI).
This is a pilot randomized trial among 50 AGYW (aged ≥16≤18 years), who discontinued PrEP use within the past 6 months, assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive: 1) STI self-test kits (Neisseria gonorrhoea (NG), Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) and Trichomonas vaginalis (TV)) with in-person instruction at enrolment and telephone/video-based instructions for home use coupled with self-administered behavioural risk assessment or 2) self-administered behavioural risk assessment only (standard of care). All participants will receive comprehensive sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services during their study visits including choice of family planning method initiation and support, and behavioural HIV/STI risk reduction counselling.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CHF6001 (Tanimilast) as add-on to maintenance of inhaled corticosteroids in combination with Long-acting ß2-agonists in the target patient population. (TANGO)
