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 evaluate the drug levels, efficacy, safety, and tolerability of subcutaneous nivolumab versus intravenous nivolumab in participants with previously treated clear cell renal cell carcinoma that is advanced or has spread. The purpose of this study's substudy is to evaluate drug level biocomparability of subcutaneous nivolumab manufactured using two different manufacturing processes.
This study is being conducted to assess the long-term safety, tolerability, and efficacy of sotatercept (MK-7962, formerly called ACE-011) in participants with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH). This open-label, long-term follow-up (LTFU) study is supported by data from the PULSAR study (Phase 2, NCT03496207) in which treatment with sotatercept resulted in hemodynamic and functional improvements in the study participants, including those receiving maximal PAH therapy with double/triple drug combinations and intravenous prostacyclin. The primary objective of this open-label, LTFU study is to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of sotatercept when added to background PAH therapy in adult participants with PAH who have completed prior sotatercept studies. The secondary objective is to evaluate continued efficacy in adult participants with PAH who have completed prior sotatercept studies.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the drug nitazoxanide 500 mg, administered three times a day, in relation to placebo in preventing the development of COVID-19 in household contacts of patients diagnosed with the disease.
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, repeat-dose, multicenter trial. Participants will be screened within 6 weeks prior to the Baseline (Day 1) Visit. Approximately 300 participants who meet the trial eligibility criteria will be randomized on Day 1 in a 1:1:1 ratio to receive HZN-825 300 mg QD, HZN-825 300 mg BID or placebo for 52 weeks. The trial will include up to a 42-day Screening Period and a 52-week Double-blind Treatment Period. Participants will take their first dose of trial drug at the clinic and will participate in trial visits at Week 4 and every 6 weeks thereafter until Week 52. All participants who complete the Double-blind Treatment Period (Week 52) will be eligible to enter a 52-week extension trial (HZNP-HZN-825-302, NCT05626751). Participants not entering the extension trial will participate in a Safety Follow-up Visit 4 weeks after the last dose of trial drug.
This is a multicenter, observational real world study with prospective follow up that will evaluate the treatment approach in patients with relapsed/refractory cHL who undergo ASCT in Argentina.
Background: In Argentina, central nervous system (CNS) solid tumors (19%) and non-CNS solid tumors (25%) account for 44% of pediatric tumors. The new World Health organization (WHO) 2016 classification, which includes genomic characterization, comprises more than 100 CNS tumor entities and subclasses. In children, glial lineage tumors (gliomas) are the most frequent and comprise astrocytomas, ependymomas and oligodendroglioma, while embryonal CNS tumors are a heterogeneous group of WHO grade IV tumors. Pediatric soft tissue tumors (STT) present difficulties for accurate diagnosis since their morphological and immunophenotypic features overlap among the different histological patterns. The emergence of new molecular techniques has generated a great advance in the field of solid tumors, particularly in the molecular definition of groups of patients. This fact makes tailor-made treatment feasible, according to the biology of the tumor. In particular, in children, the identification of treatment targets is especially important since it may avoid unnecessary sequel in a growing child. This project allows the articulation between basic and clinical research groups, thus consolidating the objective of basic translational research and generating both clinical and basic knowledge about the pathogenesis of pediatric solid tumors in our country. Aim: To standardize and implement a comprehensive multi-level molecular strategy, using medium and high complexity techniques, for the detection of molecular alterations in primary pediatric solid tumors (neuroblastoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, Ewing sarcoma family tumors, soft tissue sarcomas and CNS tumors (gliomas and embryonal)), that can be applied to the diagnosis, prognosis and/or use of targeted therapies against molecular targets in order to provide a tailored therapeutic opportunity. Material and methods: Pediatric cases of solid tumors will be enrolled prospectively. Based on the statistics of the participating centers, 100 samples will be included. From each case, a formalin fixed biopsy will be available and when possible, a fragment will also be preserved at -70ºC. Clinical and follow-up data will be obtained from the clinical records. The methodological approaches include: 1) Immunohistochemical detection of tumor lineage determinant markers, some of them with predictive value. 2) FISH (fluorescence in situ hybridization) with break-apart strategy for genes involved in recurrent chromosomal translocations and locus-specific design probes for other unbalanced structural chromosomal structural alterations (amplifications and deletions of genes or chromosomal segments). 3) Real time (RT)-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) detection of fusion transcripts resulting from chromosomal translocations. 4) Quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and Sanger sequencing analysis of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) as targets for therapy. 5) Sanger sequencing analysis of fusions, ins/del as a complement to RT-PCR or FISH (fluorescence in situ hybridization), 6) Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) with a specific and customized panel containing all necessary genes to define a tumor´s genomic mutation profile for diagnosis, risk stratification and prognosis of pediatric tumors. However, NGS sequencing will only be applied in those cases which could not be resolved with the previous strategies or cases with poor evolution Based on the above analyses, an integrated analysis algorithm will be developed according to WHO recommendations, but adapted to the facilities of the institution. Molecular findings will be correlated with clinical and histological data
The purpose of this pediatric study is to evaluate the drug levels, efficacy and safety of Deucravacitinib in pediatric participants aged 4 to <18 years with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. This study includes two cohorts; Cohort 1 (age 12 to <18 years) and Cohort 2 (age 4 to <12 years), with two parts; for each cohort. Part A will evaluate the drug levels of BMS-986165 to enable selection of 2 dose levels to be studied in Part B. Part B will assess the efficacy and safety of two dose levels in pediatric participants with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. The 5-year long-term extension (LTE) period will observe the long-term safety and tolerability of deucravacitinib in pediatric participants with psoriasis who have completed Parts A or B of the study.

Platelets correspond to one of the most widely used blood components in transfusion medicine, given their importance in the prevention of bleeding disorders in patients with multifactorial thrombocytopenia and non-immunological etiology, as well as in the management of traumatic or blood-related bleeding. surgical treatments. Given its wide margin of use and the constant demand for it for use within the different management schemes and procedures associated with the medical act, it is the objective of both hemotherapy services and blood banks and blood products to have availability component constant to meet such requirements. The main problem of this resource is its short useful life (5 to 7 days) which limits its availability, especially in the Latin American context where the production of blood components as well as the resources allocated for this purpose by state entities to blood banks are generally limited. Cryopreservation at -80 ° C using Dimethylsulfoxide as a preservative solution is a technique used since the 1950s to prolong platelet survival, the improvement of which has been remarkable in recent years, thus constituting an alternative for the resolution of this problem.
