There are about 10004 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Brazil. 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 effect of finerenone compared to placebo (a tablet without active substance) in the reduction of cardiovascular death (generally meaning death due to disease of the heart or blood vessels) and total Heart Failure (HF) events, including HF hospitalization and urgent visits for HF(generally meaning a hospital stay or urgent presentation to a healthcare unit due to worsening symptoms of heart failure) in patients suffering from HF with an ejection fraction greater than or equal to 40%. Researchers will also collect information on how much the heart disease has impact on patient's lives, change of kidney function, and how well finerenone treatment is tolerated. The study plans to enroll 6000 male and female patients of the age of 40 years and above suffering from heart failure with ejection fraction greater than or equal to 40%. Participants will take the study product as oral tablet with a dose between 0 (Placebo) 40 mg once daily. Study duration will be up to 43 months.
The objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Zimura (avacincaptad pegol) intravitreal administration in patients with geographic atrophy secondary to age-related macular degeneration (AMD)
This study evaluates the consumption of Açaí Juçara pulp in endothelial function and arterial stiffness in overwheight and obese individuals. Half of participants will receive a hipocaloric diet and two Açaí Juçara pulps for daily consumption, while the other half will receive just a hipocaloric diet.
To evaluate the incidence of patients with a positive test for SARS-CoV-2, performed in the preoperative screening for patients treated at the institution
A study designed to evaluate the non-inferiority of crovalimab compared with eculizumab in participants with PNH who have not been previously treated with complement inhibitor therapy.
Positive fluid status has been consistently associated with worse prognosis in critically ill adult patients.However, observational studies showed poor agreement between fluid balance and body weight changes. The objective of the study is to compare the measurements of FB and BW over time and to assess correlation with ICU mortality.
This is a multicenter long-term extension study designed to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of faricimab administered by intravitreal (IVT) injection at a personalized treatment interval (PTI) to participants who enrolled in and completed one of the two Phase III studies, GR40349 (NCT03622580) or GR40398 (NCT03622593), also referred to as the parent studies.
A study designed to evaluate the safety of crovalimab with eculizumab in participants with PNH currently treated with complement inhibitors. This study will enroll approximately 190 participants.
This is a Phase IIIb, multicenter, open-label, single-arm study of prophylactic emicizumab in previously untreated and minimally treated patients at study enrollment from birth to ≤12 months of age with severe hemophilia A (intrinsic factor VIII [FVIII] level <1%) without FVIII inhibitors. The study is designed to evaluate the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of emicizumab administered at 3 milligrams per kilogram of body weight (mg/kg) once every 2 weeks (Q2W) for 52 weeks. After 1 year of treatment, participants will continue to receive emicizumab (1.5 mg/kg once every week [QW], 3 mg/kg Q2W or 6 mg/kg once every 4 weeks [Q4W]) over a 7-year long-term follow-up period under this study frame.
In December 2019, a group of patients with pneumonia of unknown cause was linked to a wholesale seafood market in Wuhan, China. The genetic analysis of samples from the lower respiratory tract of these patients indicated a new coronavirus as the causative agent, which was named SARS-CoV-2. The virus spread rapidly to more than 45 countries, including Brazil, causing an international alarm. However, in spite of its epidemiological magnitude, so far, there is no antiviral treatment or vaccine approved for the treatment of this infection. With about 15% to 20% of SARS-CoV-2 patients suffering from serious illnesses and overburdened hospitals, therapeutic options are desperately needed. So, instead of creating compounds from scratch that can take years to develop and test, researchers and public health agencies have sought to redirect drugs already approved for other diseases and known to be widely safe. In this context, the analysis of the international literature shows the existence of an in vitro antiviral activity of ivermectin against SARS-CoV-2. However, there are no studies that have evaluated its clinical effectiveness in patients diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 infection. Therefore, and considering this knowledge gap, the present study aims to determine the clinical efficacy and safety of different doses of ivermectin in patients diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 infection.
