Study of the Role of Genetic Modifiers in Hemoglobinopathies
Hemoglobinopathies, including sickle cell disease (SCD) and beta-thalassemia, are prevalent diseases with variable clinical manifestation and severity that are thought to be governed, in part, by genetic modifiers. Despite the identification and characterization of a few putative genetic modifiers by previous studies, these are as yet insufficient to guide treatment recommendations or risk-stratify patients reliably. Also, it is expected that many additional genetic variants exist that can modify disease and its severity. This large-scale genome-wide association study (GWAS) will utilize SNP chips to investigate the genetic profile of individuals with hemoglobinopathies, thereby addressing the challenges of previous studies related to small sample sizes and low statistical power, while promoting the participation of diverse populations worldwide. The study aims to i) discover new genetic modifiers of hemoglobinopathies, ii) validate previously reported genetic modifiers, iii) pool and analyze existing genomic data, iv) standardize phenotypic descriptions, v) develop a research resource of disease-specific data generated in INHERENT, including genomic, phenotypic, and functional data, and vi) develop risk scores that can be used for patient stratification. The main endpoints include: 1. Worldwide demography, including numbers of patients, main genotypes, and overall disease severity/burden in participating centres 2. Genetic modifiers affecting clinical or laboratory phenotypes of hemoglobinopathies, including 1. overall survival in SCD and/or thalassemia, 2. stroke and/or decreased neurocognitive function in SCD and/or thalassemia, 3. renal impairment in SCD and/or thalassemia, 4. leg ulcers in SCD, 5. priapism in SCD, 6. mild or severe acute pain and/or chronic pain syndromes in SCD, 7. pulmonary hypertension in SCD and/or thalassemia, 8. hyperhemolysis in SCD and/or thalassemia, 9. fetal hemoglobin levels, 10. degree of ineffective erythropoiesis, 11. hepatic fibrosis/cirrhosis and/or cardiac siderosis, 3. Genetic modifiers affecting response to treatment, including 1. response to hydroxyurea, 2. response to iron chelation treatment, 3. response to emerging therapeutic agents

Effect of High Dose Intravenous Vitamin C in Severe Pneumonia
Subjects will be randomized 1:1 to receive either high dose IV Vitamin C (12g/day) or placebo, every 6 hourly, until successful extubation (minimum 16 doses, maximum 40 doses). Placebo will be the equivalent volume of dextrose 5% given intravenously. Active drug or placebo will be prepared in a sterile method by designated personnel at each site. Active drug or placebo will be prepared in a 50cc syringe and infusion tubing attached, where both are coloured and UV-protected. The recruitment period is expected to be 24 months. Phone call follow-up will be conducted at day 60 (+7 days) post-randomization to review subjects' activities of daily living. All data will be entered electronically into REDCap. All randomized subjects will be included in the intention-to-treat analysis (ITT) dataset for primary and secondary efficacy endpoints analyses. Safety analysis will be conducted for all subjects who received at least one dose of study drug. There are no interim analyses planned in this trial. At least one safety review will be conducted at 50% target recruitment.

Savolitinib Plus Osimertinib Versus Platinum-based Doublet Chemotherapy in Participants With Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Who Have Progressed on Osimertinib Treatment
This is a multicentre, Phase III, randomised, open-label study to investigate the efficacy and safety of savolitinib administered orally in combination with osimertinib versus platinum-based doublet chemotherapy in participants with EGFR mutated, MET-overexpressed and/or amplified, locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC who have progressed on first- or second-line treatment with osimertinib as the most recent therapy. Approximately 324 participants with EGFR mutated, MET-overexpressed and/or amplified, locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC will be randomly assigned to study intervention with 1:1 ratio. Patients will be treated until either objective progression of disease (PD) by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) is assessed by the investigator, unacceptable toxicity occurs, consent is withdrawn, or another discontinuation criterion is met.

Malaysian COVID-19 Anosmia Study (Phase 2) - A Nationwide Multicentre Case-Control Study
The world is currently in the midst of the Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic that is caused by a novel coronavirus, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). According to published cohort studies on COVID-29 infected patients, the most prevalent symptoms consist of fever, dry cough, dyspnoea, sputum production, myalgia, arthralgia, headache, diarrhoea, and sore throat. Recently, there have been concerns of significant viral transmission through asymptomatic, pre-symptomatic or even mildly symptomatic patients. There is increasing anecdotal evidence from patients and healthcare professionals highlighting isolated loss of sense of smell (anosmia) and taste disturbances (dysgeusia) as atypical symptoms of COVID-19 infection in otherwise asymptomatic patients. In parallel, expert statements from the British Association of Otorhinolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery (ENT UK), British Rhinological Society, and the American Association of Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery (AAO-HNS) have suggested that olfactory and taste disturbances could be a clinical feature of COVID-19 infection. Rapidly emerging evidence from Europe, the United Kingdom and the United States have found olfactory and taste disturbances to be highly prevalent in patients diagnosed with COVID-19. In contrast, there is currently limited evidence from Asia on the prevalence of these symptoms in COVID-19 infection. Additionally, there is also limited evidence on the predictive value of screening for olfactory and taste disturbance in COVID-19 patients with subclinical symptoms. The aim of this case-control study is to study the predictive value of screening for olfactory and taste disturbance in patients with COVID-19 infection in Malaysia. The cases will be selected from the cohort of COVID-19 positive patients recruited from participating Malaysian Ministry of Health-designated COVID-19 treating hospitals across the country (from Phase 1 of the Malaysian COVID-19 Anosmia Study). Controls will be recruited from healthy volunteers who will will answer the an online questionnaire to evaluate and characterise their olfactory and taste symptoms. This is the same questionnaire that is answered by the COVID-19 patients in case cohort.

Treatment of Cardiovascular Disease With Low Dose Rivaroxaban in Advanced Chronic Kidney Disease
Background and Rationale Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a major international health burden. Despite the unacceptably high burden of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and associated mortality, trial-data on the management of CVD in people with advanced stages of CKD and dialysis-dependent kidney failure are sparse. Risk of bleeding in CKD and dialysis-dependent kidney failure is increased when compared to the general population. Anticoagulant agents, such as rivaroxaban, are a core intervention in the prevention of CVD in the general population. Nevertheless, to mitigate trial risks, 90% of the trials evaluating this form of intervention exclude these patient populations. The TRACK trial will evaluate the effect of low dose rivaroxaban in patients with CKD dialysis-dependent kidney failure. Other trials have demonstrated that rivaroxaban reduces the risk of major cardio-vascular outcomes in high risk patients, and the limited data showed that CKD status did not significantly affect this result. Hypothesis Compared to placebo, low dose rivaroxaban reduces the risk of major adverse cardiac event (MACE) in people with CKD stages 4 or 5 or dialysis-dependent kidney failure, and elevated cardiovascular (CV) risk (marked by a history of CAD or PAD, or non-haemorrhagic non-lacunar stroke OR diabetes mellitus OR age ≥65 years). Objectives The primary objective is to determine whether low dose rivaroxaban, compared to placebo, significantly reduces the risk of a composite outcome of; - CV death, - non-fatal myocardial infarction, - stroke, or - peripheral artery disease (PAD) events in people with CKD stages 4 or 5 or dialysis-dependent kidney failure, and an elevated CV risk (marked by a history of CAD or PAD, or non-haemorrhagic non-lacunar stroke OR diabetes mellitus OR age ≥65 years). A full list of secondary objectives are detailed in the protocol, and include identifying risk reduction in the treatment group, and whether this treatment is cost effective. Methodology The TRACK trial is an investigator-initiated, multicentre, prospective, randomised, quadruple-blind (participant, healthcare provider, data collector, outcomes assessor), placebo-controlled trial. The trial will test for the superiority of the trial intervention using a 1:1 allocation to parallel trial groups, on the basis of a pre-specified number of primary outcomes events. This is a global trial and will be conducted in renal units that provide comprehensive CKD care. Approximately 2,000 participants will be recruited.
