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.
This study investigates the efficacy and safety of belimumab compared to placebo, in addition to standard therapy, for the treatment of participants with systemic sclerosis associated interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD). The study will evaluate the effect of belimumab treatment on lung function as well as on extra-pulmonary disease manifestations, including skin thickening and general symptoms, such as fatigue, that impact quality of life (QoL).
Chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) is the leading cause of death in women in the most developed regions of Brazil. The primary etiopathogenic mechanism is the process of atherosclerosis. A healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables is associated with a lower incidence of CCS. The higher consumption of these foods promotes greater availability of phenolic compounds, and the higher intake of these compounds is one of the main hypotheses for vascular health. Quercetin, a phenolic compound, is the most abundant natural antioxidant belonging to the group of flavonoids. Quercetin improves lipoprotein metabolism, has an antioxidant capacity, produces vasodilating substances in the vascular endothelium, and reduces platelet aggregability. Likewise, statins are medications known to reduce cardiovascular events in women with CCS by reducing serum LDL-cholesterol levels and, to a lesser extent, by possible pleiotropic effects. In turn, SIRT1 is one of the 7 classes of proteins. It mediates various metabolic pathways in response to nutritional stimuli, particularly for caloric restriction and phenolic compounds, as well as coordinating the production and secretion of important hormones. However, the impact of quercetin supplementation and statin administration on serum endogenous estrogen levels is unknown
The sedentary lifestyle in women with breast cancer generates a problem for public health. An alternative that has been used to reduce sedentary behavior are interventions with the use of information technology, as well as projects with health education can cause lifestyle changes. However, little is known about the effect of these interventions on self-awareness and self-care in women with breast cancer. This aim of study is evaluate the effect of health education on sedentary behavior, lifestyle, physical activity level, nutrition, self-esteem, anxiety and depression, quality of life, pain, functional capacity, and strength in women with breast cancer. This is a study the 12 weeks, with patients being treated for breast cancer, distributed for two groups: Group Health Education Recommendations and Control Group.
Introduction: Greater Trochanter Pain Syndrome (GTPS) includes a number of disorders involving the lateral hip region, including bursitis, gluteal lacerations, and trigger points in the contractile tissue crossing the hip. As an alternative resource for pain relief, dry needling, known as Dry Needling (DN) is a technique that has been shown to be effective in the treatment of soft tissue injuries and neuromyofascial pain, with positive effects on musculoskeletal conditions. Objective: to compare the administration of ND and laser therapy on the effectiveness of reducing lateral hip pain and improving function in women with GTPS. Materials and methods: The sample will consist of 30 women, aged between 35 and 60, randomized into 2 groups: GND group (n=15) and GLT group (n=15). Participants will complete the sample characterization questionnaire, the numerical pain scale and the VISA Tendinopathy Questionnaire for Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome (VISA-G). Subsequently, they will be submitted to evaluation through functional tests sit and stand 30 seconds, Timed up and go test. After the evaluation, they will be submitted to the treatment. The GDN will receive treatment using the technique by a physiotherapist with specific training in NP. The application will be through the deep technique, in the regions of trigger points of muscles of the posterolateral region of the hip with duration of application from 30 to 60 seconds per point, 8 points of application will be standardized, in the region of muscles of the posterolateral region. hip side. The GLT will receive the Laser application by a physiotherapist specialized in traumato-orthopedics. The equipment will be the Infrared Laser (wavelength 904 nm), by punctual technique. Eight application points will be standardized in the muscles region of the posterolateral region of the hip.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients showed systemic manifestations that may lead to a reduction in muscle strength, muscle mass and, consequently, to a reduction in physical function. On the other hand, high intensity resistance training (HIRT) are able to improve muscle strength and muscle mass in RA without affecting the disease course. However, due to the articular manifestations caused by this disease, these patients may present intolerance to HIRT. Thus, the low intensity resistance training with blood flow restriction (TBFR) may be a new training strategy for these populations. In this sense, the investigators speculate that TBFR could be beneficial in RA patients, as well as, HIRT.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of RO7496353 when administered in combination with a checkpoint inhibitor (CPI) with or without standard-of-care (SOC) chemotherapy in participants with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors such as non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), gastric cancer (GC) and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). The study will be conducted in 2 stages: an initial safety run-in stage and an expansion stage.
The goal of this randomized controlled clinical trial is to identify and compare the impacts of traditional concurrent training and concurrent training consisting of strength training combined with dance classes on functional performance, cognitive function and quality of life in older people. The main question it aims to answer are: • The concurrent training consisting of strength training combined with dance classes can provide similar benefits to traditional concurrent training in neuromuscular and cardiorrespiratory performance, cognitive function and quality of life in older people? Participants will training one of the two types of concurrent training (traditional concurrent training or concurrent training consisting of strength training combined with dance classes), two times a week, over 12 weeks. Researchers will compare traditional concurrent training, concurrent training consisting of strength training combined with dance classes and a control group without exercise to see if this modalitys of physical exercise can provide increases in neuromuscular and cardiorrespiratory performance, cognitive function and quality of life in older people.
Data from niraparib treatment is not available in real-world setting in Latin America. The present study aims to collect data from patients treated with niraparib within the Latin America Expanded Access Program (EAP) in clinical practice in Brazil and Argentina and who meet the eligibility criteria for this study, without additional intervention.
Participants with moderate depressive symptoms measured by PHQ-9 will be randomized to receive auricular acupuncture. The triple blinded procedure will be conducted in 12 sessions (6 weeks). The primary outcome is the response to the treatment 3 months after inclusion.
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of perioperative dostarlimab compared with standard of care (SOC) in participants with untreated T4N0 or Stage III (resectable), defective mismatch repair/ microsatellite instability high (dMMR/MSI-H) colon cancer.
