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.
Picoplatin is a new type of platinum drug that has been investigated in several clinical trials, and may provide an improved safety profile over current treatment options. This study is designed to compare the efficacy and safety of picoplatin plus Best Supportive Care (BSC) with BSC alone. Best Supportive Care includes care and treatment to optimize the comfort of patients and their ability to function, as well as to minimize the side-effects of anti-cancer treatments.
A multi-center, open-label, single-arm Phase II trial assessing the efficacy and safety of weekly bolus infusions of 5-fluorouracil combined with CoFactor (5-10 methylenetetrahydrofolate) in advanced breast cancer patients who failed anthracycline and taxane chemotherapy regimens.
The purpose of this study is to determine if Cediranib when added to chemotherapy is more effective than chemotherapy alone in prolonging life expectancy and slowing disease progression in patients with previously untreated metastatic colorectal cancer.
Gaucher disease is a genetic disease that results in a deficiency of an enzyme acid beta-glucosidase, also known as glucocerebrosidase. This enzyme is needed to digest a substrate (lipid) called glucosylceramide and, to a lesser degree, glucosylsphingosine. In participants with Gaucher disease, the liver, spleen, bone marrow and brain show increases in lipid concentration, specifically in cells derived from the monocyte/macrophage system. Eliglustat tartrate (Genz-112638) is an oral drug that may regulate the Gaucher disease process by decreasing the synthesis of glucosylceramide. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics (PK) of eliglustat tartrate, administered as an oral dose of either 50 milligram (mg) twice daily (BID) or 100 mg BID, to men and women with Gaucher disease Type 1 for 52 weeks.
Hemophilia, which results from deficiency of factor VIII or IX, is a common hereditary X-linked bleeding disorder affecting up to 10/100,000 population. About 60-70% of them have severe disease (factor level <1%). This group is characterized by the occurrence of frequent spontaneous bleeding into joints and soft tissues. If inadequately treated, it results in progressive damage to joints and muscles leading to crippling deformities. Close clinical observation of these patients over many years has shown that those with >1% levels have much less bleeding compared to those with less than 1%. This observation has gained immense clinical importance in planning therapy for these patients. To prevent progressive joint damage, the missing factor needs to be replaced. Much has evolved in this practice in the last 50 years. From administration of whole blood in the beginning, to plasma and cryoprecipitate, to purified plasma-derived concentrates and finally recombinant factor concentrates. The standard of therapy now is to replace factors frequently enough to maintain >1% factor levels at all times (“prophylaxis”) or administer immediately on premonition or earliest signs of bleeding (“on demand” therapy). This has greatly enhanced the quality of life of people with hemophilia. However, the optimal regimens of factor replacement remain to be defined. The definition of what is optimal management of this chronic condition, currently incurable for the vast majority of patients, varies significantly in different parts of the world, depending on practicality and social expectations. Models have care have been developed in Western countries based on careful documentation of outcome over many years. Such data is lacking from developing countries. This multi-center study aims to systematically record the outcome of musculoskeletal function in people with hemophilia in developing countries for the first time and provide information that can help plan care for the 80% of all hemophiliacs in the world who live in these countries. Currently there is no well documented model of care at the range of factor replacement practiced in these countries nor is there any significant information on the long-term outcome of musculo-skeletal function among these patients.
The purpose of the study is to examine the safety and effectiveness of the drug combination of Myocet, paclitaxel and trastuzumab compared to paclitaxel and trastuzumab without Myocet, as first line treatment for patients with metastatic HER2+ breast cancer.
The purpose of this trial is to determine if thymectomy combined with prednisone therapy is more beneficial in treating non-thymomatous myasthenia gravis than prednisone therapy alone.
RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies such as trastuzumab can locate tumor cells and either kill them or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. It is not yet known whether trastuzumab is effective in treating primary breast cancer in women who have completed adjuvant chemotherapy. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying two different regimens of trastuzumab and observation only to compare how well they work in treating women with breast cancer.
The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and effectiveness of emtricitabine and stavudine when given with didanosine plus efavirenz to HIV-infected patients.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: Phase II/III trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy in treating children with relapsed acute lymphocytic leukemia.
