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 compare three interventions (short-term psychodynamic psychotherapeutic group and relapse prevention group therapy vs. treatment as usual, namely, psychiatric follow up including prescription of medication vs. both interventions combined) to individuals presenting compulsive sexual behavior.
A Phase I study to assess the systemic exposure, effiacy, and safety of 450 mg ceritinib taken with a low-fat meal and 600 mg ceritinib taken with a low-fat meal as compared with that of 750 mg ceritinib taken in the fasted state in adult patients with ALK rearranged (ALK-positive) metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)
This is a randomised, double-blind, parallel-group, multi-centre study evaluating 15 milligram (mg) twice daily/ Bi-daily (BID) of losmapimod versus placebo, in addition to standard of care (SoC). The primary objective of this study is to explore the therapeutic potential of losmapimod as a treatment to reduce the rate of exacerbations in the subset of participants with moderate-to-severe COPD who are at high risk of exacerbation, having experienced two or more moderate/severe exacerbations in the preceding 12 months, and who have <=2% of blood eosinophils at screening. As secondary objectives safety, effects on lung function, quality of life, pharmacokinetic (PK), biomarkers of both disease and inflammation shall be evaluated. The duration of the treatment period is variable but will be at least 26 weeks and up to a maximum of 52 weeks, with the end of study date being established once the final participant has been randomized. The purpose of the variable dosing regimen is to enable participants to remain in the study for a longer duration, as it is anticipated that this will increase the likelihood of observing exacerbation events without increasing the overall study duration. It will also enable safety data on dosing periods beyond 6 months to be generated. Approximately 200 participants in a 1:1 ratio between losmapimod and placebo will be randomized to the study. Sample size re-estimation will be performed during the course of the study to potentially increase the sample size up to a maximum of 600 participants.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of the use of breathing exercises with inspiratory loading on respiratory muscle strength and endurance, lung volumes and capacities and thoracoabdominal mobility in patients after bariatric surgery. It is believed that the use of inspiratory load may mitigate the negative effects of surgical trauma on respiratory muscle dysfunction, preserving respiratory muscle strength, lung volumes and diaphragm mobility, thus reducing the risk of pulmonary complications in the postoperative period.
Administration of Ticagrelor in patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction treated with pharmacological thrombolysis
The efficacy and safety, as well as subject satisfaction will be evaluated after single treatment with Azzalure/Dysport alone or Restylane/Emervel filler alone followed by repeated combined treatment with Azzalure/Dysport, Restylane/Emervel filler and Restylane Skinbooster. Subjects will be followed for up to 18 months after initial treatment.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy observed with canakinumab dose reduction in a subgroup of patients in the extension study CACZ885G2301E1.
The overall objective is to assess the effect of once daily tiotropium + olodaterol fixed dose combination compared to 5 µg tiotropium (both delivered with the Respimat® inhaler) on moderate to severe COPD exacerbation in patients with severe to very severe COPD.
Forty six patients with knee osteoarthritis will be randomly allocated into two groups: water-based exercises and land-based exercises. Both of them will receive a strengthening exercise protocol for lower limb muscles. A blind investigator will assess the patients before and immediately after, 3 months and 6 months following the interventions. The main outcomes will be pain, function and strength.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a common condition that may induce hemodynamic and metabolic dysregulation. However, it is not clear if OSA is a mere epiphenomenon or contributes to increase the morbidity associated with metabolic syndrome. This study was designed to evaluate the impact of OSA treatment with CPAP in consecutive patients with metabolic syndrome.
