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.
- Seventy per cent of breast cancers express estrogen (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) and respond to endocrine treatment. - Actual therapy targets ER. - There is enough evidence that progestins participate regulating breast cancer growth. - Antiprogestins block cell proliferation and increase apoptosis in breast cancer models which express high levels of PRA. - Antiprogestins have been used to treat breast cancer patients that failed to other treatments; benefits were seen in selected patients. - Mifepristone (MFP) is currently used for medical abortion and for the treatment of Cushing disease. - MFP might exert agonistic effects when PRB isoform is activated by cAMP. This makes mandatory the evaluation of the PR isoform ratio in breast cancer patients in which MFP is a therapeutic possibility. Main Goal To evaluate if therapeutic doses of MFP exert beneficial effects on breast cancers expressing levels of PRA higher than those of PRB, evaluated as an inhibition in proliferation markers and/or an increase in apoptotic markers. - Eligibility - Postmenopausal women (one year after menses stop). - Women with tumors showing ratios of PRA/PRB higher than 1.5 and PR higher than 50%. - Women without previous treatment. - All clinical stages with tumors larger than 1.5 cm. - Patients without autoimmune diseases and/or asthma. - Study design - Open Interventional. - Twenty women will take MFP (200 mg) p.o. once /day during 14 days. As for preliminary studies, to reach this number the investigators will have to evaluate 80-100 patients. - Surgery is performed 14 days after treatment initiation, 24 hs after last dose. - PR isoform ratio will be evaluated by western blots (WB) in one core biopsy. Additional cores will be used for diagnosis, immunohistochemistry (IHC) of PR, Ki-67 and other markers. - At surgery samples will be frozen for molecular studies and fixed and processed for pathological evaluation. - Wilcoxon signed rank test will be used to evaluate differences in biomarker expression between core biopsy and surgical samples of each patient. - Blood will be collected before treatment initiation and prior to final surgery. - Mammographic and echographic studies will be carried out before and after treatment.
A multicenter, randomized, open-label, active-controlled Phase 3 study for the correction of anemia and maintenance of hemoglobin (Hb) in participants with Non-Dialysis-Dependent Chronic Kidney Disease (NDD-CKD)
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the study drug, BMS-986142, is safe and effective in treating moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis in subjects with an inadequate response to methotrexate or methotrexate and up to 2 tumour necrosis factor (TNF) Inhibitors. Patients who qualify will be randomized to either one of 3 doses of BMS-986142 or placebo in 1:1:1 randomization for 12 weeks. Disease activity and safety will be assessed over the course of the study.
This is a phase IIIb, multi-centre, open-label extension study in male subjects with DMD who previously have been treated with drisapersen, aiming at assessing the safety and efficacy of drisapersen.
Ibandronate is a third-generation biphosphonate with recognized antiresorptive efficacy by several international, randomized, double-blind, controlled trials. These studies have not included patients from central america, to the best of our knowledge. Therefore, this open-label, uncontrolled study, was set out to assess the clinical effects of a 6-m treatment course with Ibandronate plus vitamine D and Calcium on bone mineral density and health-related quality of life.
Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a condition that harms the kidney "filters" that remove waste from the blood. Proteins are supposed to stay in the blood. Damaged "filters" let protein get into the kidney. FSGS is a serious condition that can lead to kidney failure. The only treatment for kidney failure is dialysis or kidney transplant. Proteinuria means too much protein came through the kidneys into the urine. If the doctor cannot figure out what is causing the problem, it is primary (idiopathic) FSGS. This kind of FSGS is very hard to treat. This study will test Acthar in patients with this condition who have not responded to other treatments. It primarily investigates how well the therapy is tolerated by the patients and how well they respond to this treatment.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness and safety of Nivolumab compared to placebo in participants who have undergone radical surgery for invasive urothelial cancer.
This study is a multi-national, multi-center, double-blind (sponsor open), randomized, placebo-controlled trial in subjects with active primary Sjögren's syndrome designed to understand the safety and tolerability profile of belimumab/ rituximab co-administration and of belimumab monotherapy; and to evaluate whether either co-administration therapy or belimumab monotherapy has a substantive effect on disease activity. This study will consist screening period, double blind treatment period, a general follow-up period and individualized follow-up period. Approximately 70 subjects will be recruited into the study initially. At Day 0, subjects will be randomized 1:2:2:2 to one of the four treatment arms placebo arm, belimumab monotherapy arm, co-administration therapy arm and rituximab monotherapy arm. Once a sufficient number of subjects have completed the Week 24, interim analyses and sample size re-estimation will be conducted. The total number of subjects randomized may increase following sample size re-estimation up to a maximum of 120 recruited into the study. Subjects in all arms will receive investigational product (IP) until Week 52 (completion of the treatment phase). All subjects will enter a 16-week general follow-up period after the Week 52 visit or after discontinuation if a subject discontinues IP and withdraws from the treatment phase visits prior to Week 52. After completing the general follow-up period, subjects with cluster of differentiation (CD)19+ B-cell levels below the lower limit of normal (or less than 90 percent [%] of baseline, if baseline value was below lower limit of normal [LLN]) will enter an individualized safety follow-up phase and return to the clinic for visits every 12 weeks with monthly calls between visits to evaluate subjects for any serious adverse events (SAEs) related to IP or study participation, fatal SAEs, and designated adverse event of special interests (AESIs) (i.e., infections, malignancies, or depression, suicide/self-injury), and to check concomitant medications. The total duration of participation of a subject in this study will be approximately up to a maximum of 2 years (i.e., up to Week 104).
The purpose of this study was to assess efficacy, including inhibition of radiographic progression, and safety with upadacitinib versus placebo and versus an active comparator, adalimumab, in adults with with moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who are on a stable background of methotrexate (MTX and who have an inadequate response to MTX.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of LY3337641 in adults with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
