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.
Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) is present in up to 87% of the patients that present pain. MPS usually presents painful myofascial trigger points (MTrPs). One methodology used to quantify the pain in MPS is the algometry, which measures the pressure pain threshold (PPT). Invasive techniques in physiotherapy have become popular in the last years due to their clinical efficacy and evidence. Percutaneous Microelectrolysis (MEP®) and dry needling are techniques that are already in use for this syndrome. MEP® is a technique that employs a galvanic current up to 990 microAmperes, which is applied percutaneously with an acupuncture needle connected to the cathode. It is also known as low intensity percutaneous electrolysis. The aim of this study is to compare the effects in pain and muscle tone (measured with algometry and surface electromyography) of invasive techniques. Healthy subjects between 18 to 48 years old, both sex, presenting MTrPs in upper trapezius will be recruited. The secondary objectives are to determine the discomfort degree of each technique and if it is better to use MEP® with a fixed dose or with an algorithm in which the dose varies. The hypothesis, according to our previous studies, is that MEP® generates higher changes in PPT.
This is an observational study in which data from women with Chagas disease who will take or have already taken nifurtimox during pregnancy and the impact on their babies are studied. Chagas disease is an inflammatory, infectious disease caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi. This parasite is mainly spread by insects called triatomine bug. If Chagas disease is left untreated, it can later cause e.g. serious heart and digestive problems. Nifurtimox has been used for more than 50 years to treat Chagas disease in children and adults. It is not recommended to be used during pregnancy as data from animal studies indicate that it may harm the baby. Currently, there are not enough data to know if this is also the case in humans. In this study, researchers want to collect data on the safety of nifurtimox use in pregnant women. To do this, researchers will collect the following information: - Birth defects (abnormal and problematic structures or functions, a child is born with) - Pregnancy outcomes (like live birth, preterm birth, still birth/death of the unborn baby, miscarriage, or abortion) - Certain health problems of the child up to 12 months of age - Certain health problems of the women experienced during pregnancy The data will be collected from different sources including telephone calls with the women or their doctor, CRFs (case reprt forms) or from medical records The researchers will compare the proportion of children with birth defects, pregnancy outcomes or certain health problems of the child or the women during pregnancy with available data on these outcomes in the general population. The study will run for approximately 10 years.
This multi-country study seeks to collect real-world evidence (RWE), from Latin American and Caribbean countries, on the effectiveness of China-made COVID-19 vaccines in different populations, against different clinical outcomes, and when administered in different schedules.
The natural history of SMA patients has changed, due to the improvements in treatment and technological advances. The systematic collection of data from routine clinical practice in multiple Latin American countries, harmonized to an internationally aligned core data set, is important to advancing the understanding the natural history of disease in the region and the influence of different drug treatments on patient outcomes. These data are critical to improving the care of these patients. So far, clinical trials regarding therapeutic approaches for SMA patients only cover a subgroup of the broad spectrum of severity of SMA. Thus, there is a strong need to monitor the full range of treated and untreated SMA patients in a real-world context.The aim of this study is to set up a regional healthcare provider (HCP) entered registry. The planned SMA registry will provide an online platform to collect longitudinal data on SMA patients across Latin America to achieve a better understanding of the clinical characteristics of SMA patients, the natural history of the disease, the use of DMTs and patients' outcomes, as well as to support further research projects and regional data generation.
The study consists of two parts. Part 1 determines the safety and tolerability of BGB-11417 (sonrotoclax) monotherapy, the maximum tolerated dose, and the recommended Phase 2 dose of BGB-11417 monotherapy for relapsed or refractory mantle cell lymphoma. Part 2 evaluates efficacy of BGB-11417 monotherapy at the recommended Phase 2 dose with recommended ramp-up schedule from Part 1.
In Latin America, information about patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is limited. Multicenter studies are needed to obtain "real world data '' and to carry out longer follow-ups. The purpose of this project is to design a cohort of Argentinian patients with SLE to describe "our real setting" and to identify possible limitations in access to specialized consultations and treatments.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of oral azacitidine in participants with low to intermediate International Prognostic Scoring System Revised (IPSS-R) myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS).
Migraine, a chronic and often lifelong neurological disorder, is the second leading cause of years lived with disability worldwide. To reduce this global burden, concerted efforts are needed to implement and improve migraine health-care policies. Several observational studies showed significant improvement of different headaches types with homeopathy. The purpose of this study is the assessment of the efficacy of Individualized Homeopathic Remedies (specific remedies for each patient) versus Conventional pharmacological treatment in patients with migraine.
The main purpose of this study is to measure the safety and efficacy of insulin efsitora alfa (LY3209590) compared with insulin degludec in participants with type 1 diabetes treated with multiple daily injection therapy.
The reason for this study is to evaluate if the once-weekly study drug insulin efsitora alfa (LY3209590) is safe and effective compared with daily insulin glargine in participants with Type 2 diabetes (T2D) that have already been treated with basal insulin and at least 2 injections per day of prandial insulin. The study consists of a 3-week screening/lead-in period, a 26-week treatment period and a 5-week safety follow-up period. The study will last up to 34 weeks.
