There are about 4010 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Argentina. 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 is a non-interventional, multi-country, multi-centre, multiple cohort prospective study, with retrospective collection of prior medical/treatment history data from medical records, designed to assess the real-world outcomes and safety of atezolizumab for indications in the existing label in the real world setting of routine clinical practice.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the safety, efficacy, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of two CFZ533 dose regimens in liver transplant recipients.
This Phase 3 clinical study compares the efficacy and safety of elacestrant to the standard of care (SoC) options of fulvestrant or an aromatase inhibitor (AI) in women and men with breast cancer whose disease has advanced on at least one endocrine therapy including a CDK4/6 inhibitor in combination with fulvestrant or an aromatase inhibitor (AI) .
This study will evaluate the impact of early administration of erythropoietin in the number of red blood cell transfusions in children with Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli hemolytic uremic syndrome (STEC-HUS).
Background & Aim: Presence of microvascular invasion (mvi) in the explanted liver defines a higher risk of recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after liver transplantation (LT). The aim of this study is to evaluate pre LT selection models of HCC recurrence specifically in patients without mvi in the explanted liver. Methods: Three multicenter cohorts are going to be included: a Latin American, a French and an Italian cohort of consecutive adult patients with HCC a first LT performed during two different periods: 2005-2011 and 2012-2016. AFP model is going to be compared against Milan and San Francisco criteria according to each models accuracy and prediction of HCC recurrence among patients without microvascular invasion in the explanted liver considering these candidates as "Low-risk patients". Multivariate Cox regression analysis, with hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for 5-year recurrence is going to be done with Competing Risk Regression analysis and corresponding Subhazard Ratios (SHR).
The main risk factor for development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is cirrhosis of any etiology, with an annual incidence risk between 1-6%; currently the leading cause of death in patients with cirrhosis and the 2nd cause of death by cancer worldwide. Chronic hepatitis C (HCV) is the first single cause associated to cirrhosis and HCC in the Western world. With the advent of new direct antiviral agents (DAA) of chronic HCV infection, virological cure generally exceeds 90% of the cases. Previous studies have shown that the incidence of HCC is lower in patients with virologic cure after treatment with pegINF schemes. However, recently published data, open up more controversy regarding the incidence of HCC after virologic cure with DAA. An increasing incidence of HCC after virologic cure in patients treated with DAA has been observed, opening a paradox yet unexplained. This project proposes to answer the following clinical research question: in patients with HCV cirrhosis treated with DAA, is there a change in the incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma? To answer this question a prospective longitudinal cohort study of patients with Child Pugh A-B cirrhosis will be held at 3 years minimum follow-up. A minimum of 210 patients will be included with clinical or histological or non-invasive diagnosis of cirrhosis Child Pugh A or B, with HCV treated with DAA and without hepatocellular carcinoma at the time of enrollment. From this cohort, patients who develop HCC during follow-up will be identified. Routine screening will be done through ultrasound every 6 months in all subjects enrolled and the diagnosis of HCC will be according to recommendations of European and American guidelines.
Coordination between different levels of care has been identified as one of the main components of care among people with chronic diseases. In this sense, an adequate referral and counter-reference system facilitates the management of the care process with timely access to the required referral. The objective of this project is to evaluate the effectiveness of a multicomponent strategy that improves the counter- referral process in patients with cardiovascular diseases in the public health system. Population: The study will be carried out in selected hospitals of the provinces of Mendoza, Tucumán and Salta in Argentina. Patients who have been hospitalized with a diagnosis of heart failure, hypertension (requires hospitalization) and / or coronary disease (unstable angina) will be included. Design and methods: a Randomized clinical study by clusters. 10 hospital will be included: 5 will be randomly assigned to receive an intervention to increase the improve counter referral rates (improvement cycles) and 5 to the control branch (usual care). 51 participants will be included in each hospital, in total, 510 participants. Intervention: An innovative vision is proposed, which combines a participatory and dynamic methodology based on improvement cycles. This approach includes the implementation of participatory learning sessions for health providers, involving the effectors of the design of the intervention. In the intervention branch at least 6 workshops (sessions) will be held with the members of the care system, in order to identify opportunities for improvement oriented to the design and application of an innovative intervention based on best practices. Each one of the sessions will constitute an analysis of the improvement cycle, following the following steps: 1) Selection of participants of the initial workshop; 2) Development of work model based on bibliographic review and initial qualitative phase; 3) Initial workshop with effectors for training in continuous improvement, objectives, interventions and data collection; 4) Learning workshops to discuss results, applicability of interventions and modifications to the work plan; 5) Closing session to evaluate preliminary results and discuss continuity of interventions beyond the project. Outcomes: 1) consultation in the PHC after hospital discharge; 2) readmission's; 3) consultations in the hospital; 4) follow-up in the PHC; 5) patient perspective (satisfaction).
The reason for this study is to see if the study drug baricitinib given orally is safe and effective in participants with JIA from 2 years to less than 18 years old.
The reason for this study is to see if the study drug baricitinib is safe and effective in the treatment of JIA in participants ages 1 to 17. This study is for participants that have been enrolled in studies I4V-MC-JAHV (NCT03773978) or I4V-MC-JAHU.
The main aim of the study is to determine if SHP611 given by injection into the spinal fluid that surrounds the brain and spinal cord (intrathecal; IT) prolongs the time for children with Metachromatic Leukodystrophy (MLD) to retain the ability to move from place to place. Other aims of the study are to determine the effects of intrathecal administration of SHP611 on movement and speech functions and to learn how well SHP611 injected in the spinal fluid that surrounds the brain and spinal cord is tolerated. Study participants will receive SHP611 for about 2 years with the possibility of an extended treatment period.
