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 primary objectives of this study are to examine the clinical efficacy of nusinersen administered intrathecally at higher doses to participants with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), as measured by change in Children's Hospital of Philadelphia-Infant Test of Neuromuscular Disorders (CHOP-INTEND) total score (Part B); to examine the safety and tolerability of nusinersen administered intrathecally at higher doses to participants with SMA (Parts A and C). The secondary objectives of this study are to examine the clinical efficacy of nusinersen administered intrathecally at higher doses to participants with SMA (Parts A, B and C); to examine the effect of nusinersen administered intrathecally at higher doses to participants with SMA (Parts A and C); to examine the safety and tolerability of nusinersen administered intrathecally at higher doses to participants with SMA, to examine the effect of nusinersen administered intrathecally at higher doses compared to the currently approved dose in participants with SMA (Part B).
This trial studies the frequency of incident and prevalent of cancer in people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) at cancer centers in Latin America. By counting how many people living with HIV/AIDS have cancer at these specific centers, researchers may better understand how they are being treated and cared for. This may help researchers to understand what new studies may be helpful for those areas in the future.
The reason for this study is to see if the study drug baricitinib is safe and effective in participants from 1 year to less than 18 years old with systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA). Participants are assigned to 1 of 2 cohorts. In cohort 1, participants will receive baricitinib or tocilizumab reference. In cohort 2, participants will receive baricitinib.
Study ROR-PH-302, ADVANCE CAPACITY, is designed to evaluate the effects of ralinepag therapy on exercise capacity as assessed by change in peak oxygen consumption (VO2) derived from cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) after 28 weeks of treatment
the aim of this study is to verify whether manual therapy associated with kinesiotherapy is more effective than kinesiotherapy alone in the treatment of chronic pain and upper limb dysfunction in women surviving cancer of mama. It is a randomized controlled double blind clinical trial (evaluator and patient), parallel in two groups (Intervention Group and Sham Group). The intervention will last 6 weeks and chronic pain and upper limb functionality will be evaluated. Both groups will undergo a kinesiotherapy program once a week for 6 consecutive weeks. Also, participants in the intervention group will receive, once a week, a manual therapy protocol, while participants in the Sham group will receive traditional massage. Manual therapy associated with kinesiotherapy is expected to yield superior results to the isolated kinesiotherapy in chronic pain and upper limb functionality.
Urinary incontinence (UI) is defined as any involuntary loss of urine and can be divided into three types: urgency, stress and mixed. Pelvic floor exercises are considered the main non pharmacological choice for UI treatment. Its mechanisms are not fully understood, however there are some evidence that central mechanisms play an important role in the continence control. In this context, neuromodulatory techniques, such as transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), that address cortical targets has been demonstrated promising results in different health conditions. However, few studies have investigated the efficacy of adding tDCS to exercise therapies for women with UI.
The SCD-CARRE trial is a Phase 3, prospective, randomized, multicenter, controlled, parallel two-arm study aimed to determine if automated exchange blood transfusion and standard of care administered to high mortality risk adult SCD patients reduces the total number of episodes of clinical worsening of SCD requiring acute health care encounters (non-elective infusion center/ER/hospital visits) or resulting in death over 12 months as compared with standard of care.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of erdafitinib in terms of overall response rate (ORR) in adult and pediatric participants with advanced solid tumors with fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) alterations (mutations or gene fusions). It will also evaluate ORR in pediatric participants with advanced solid tumors and FGFR alterations.
The purpose of this study is to look at the efficacy and safety of Irinotecan liposome injection in combination with other approved drugs used for cancer therapy, namely 5 fluorouracil/leucovorin (5FU/LV) plus oxaliplatin compared to nab-paclitaxel + gemcitabine treatment in improving the overall survival of patients not previously treated for metastatic pancreatic cancer.
This is a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the use of LASER, Micro Ablative radiofrequency and topic promestriene to treat symptoms of vulvovaginal atrophy of women treated for breast cancer.
