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.
The Purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of two strengths of the FF/GW642444 Inhalation Powder in subject with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
The purpose of this study is to determine whether case management for type 2 diabetic patients with target-organ damage improves quality of care compared to usual care.
Despite these initial positive signals in recent statistics, breast cancer continues to claim a substantial number of lives approximately 500,000 deaths worldwide in 2005 Thus the current treatment paradigm - surgery, radiation and systemic chemo and or hormonal therapy and biological therapies -still fails to cure a significant number of women with early breast cancer and new treatment strategies are needed to improve current results both in early and advance disease. Recurrent or metastatic breast cancer is an incurable malignancy with a median survival of 20-24 months [Hortobagyi , 1998] and this has not changed significantly over the last decade with fewer than 20% of patients still alive at 5 years after a diagnosis of recurrence. Although there have been small improvements in survival with the new therapies, metastatic breast cancer remains an incurable and, ultimately, fatal disease. The introduction of novel combination therapies have the potential to target different pathways in the cancer cell, leading to improved efficacy. Further studies to optimize combination therapy, while ameliorating AEs, are critically important to patients with metastatic breast cancer. Lapatinib is an oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor which potently inhibits both EGFR and HER2[Spector, 2005]. Lapatinib in combination with capecitabine is approved in more than 20 countries for the treatment of patients with advanced or metastatic breast cancer whose tumors overexpress HER2. All patients in the study leading to the lapatinib approval had received prior therapy including an anthracycline, a taxane, and trastuzumab. The relevance of the HER2/neu target in breast cancer, combined with the promising preclinical and clinical data regarding the use of lapatinib, provide the rationale for a formal evaluation of this agent combined with other non taxane agents as gemcitabine or vinorelbine after progression on taxanes and trastuzumab based therapies in metastatic disease setting as these chemotherapy options are used in daily practice in this subset of patients. This is a randomized phase II, open label,multicentric , international, 3 arms treatment study in patients with confirmed HER2+ metastatic breast cancer after taxane progression . The main objective is to investigate the (CBR) and safety in 3 different combinations of Lapatinib therapy (plus capecitabine or gemcitabine or vinorelbine) and to determine whether either, or both, of Lapatinib /Vinorelbine or Lapatinib/Gemcitabine can be considered a reasonable alternative to the established Lapatinib/Capecitabine standard combination . The decision as to whether to study either of the new combinations further will be based on both the toxicity and the efficacy profiles.
This clinical trial studies conservative surgery in treating patients with low-risk stage IA2 or IB1 cervical cancer. Conservative surgery is a less invasive type of surgery for early stage cervical cancer and may have fewer side effects and improve recovery.
This trial will be conducted in Africa, Asia, North America and South America. The aim of this clinical trial is to compare NN1250 (insulin degludec) with sitagliptin, as add-on to subject's own current oral antidiabetic (OAD) treatment, in subjects with type 2 diabetes inadequately controlled with 1-2 OADs (metformin, sulphonylurea, glinides or pioglitazone).
This study is carried out to assess whether dapagliflozin improves glycemic control, decreases fasting plasma glucose levels, body weight and blood pressure when added to patient's existing medications and how it compares with their usual treatment without added dapagliflozin. Safety data will be collected and analysed to confirm that treatment with dapagliflozin is safe and well tolerated in patients who have diabetes and cardiovascular disease
This double-blind, parallel, two-arm study will evaluate the potential to reduce cardiovascular risk, the tolerability and long-term safety profile of aleglitazar compared to placebo on top of standard care in patients with recent acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Patients will be randomized to receive either aleglitazar or placebo once daily as oral doses. The study will last until at least 950 events occur, but time on study treatment will be for at least 2.5 years.
The aim of this study is to test if BPS (Bacterial Pneumonia Score) guided antibiotic use in children with non severe community acquired pneumonia (CAP) will reduce antibiotic use as compared to standard care practice (current guidelines for CAP).
This is an observational safety study of a prophylactic use of Flu Egg Derived Adjuvanted Swine Origin A(H1N1) Vaccine in subjects 6 months of age and older. Subjects may receive either 1 or 2 doses: children and elderly will receive 2 doses and adults will receive either 1 or 2 doses.
The objective of this trial is to demonstrate that active immunization with anti-TNFα kinoid (TNF-K) is able to induce polyclonal anti-TNFα antibodies in RA patients who were previously treated with anti-TNFα mAb but have lost susceptibility to therapy.
