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.
Treatment options for nipple fissures include drug therapy with antifungal and antibiotics, topical applications of lanolin, glycerin gel, creams and lotions, the milk itself, hot compresses and silicone nipple shields. Studies involving a light-emitting diode (LED) therapy have demonstrated anti-inflammatory properties, the enhancement of the wound repair process and the control of pain.
Study A011-09 is designed to assesses the efficacy and safety of sotatercept (ACE-011) relative to placebo in adults with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Eligible participants will receive study treatment for 24 weeks during the placebo-controlled treatment period, and then will be eligible to enroll into a 30-month extension period during which all participants will receive sotatercept. All treated patients will also undergo a follow-up period after last study drug treatment.
This is a Phase 1/2, open-label study of AGEN1884 in combination with AGEN2034 in subjects with locally advanced, recurrent and/or metastatic solid tumors including cervical cancer. AGEN2034 is a novel, fully human monoclonal immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) antibody, designed to block program cell death-1 (PD-1). AGEN1884 is a novel, fully human monoclonal immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) antibody, designed to block cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4).
Introduction. Treatment with hormone therapy reduced the likelihood of tumor recurrence and metastasis in the patient. However, it has adverse effects such as: loss of bone mineral density, increase in body weight, metabolic changes and, consequently, lower quality of life. Physical training has been used as a means of reducing these and other adverse effects, but there is no definite protocol on which training model is effective, especially in patients who only use Tamoxifen or Aromatase Inhibitor as an adjuvant therapy for treatment of breast cancer. Objective: To compare the effect of aerobic training on body composition, metabolic and inflammatory variables, physical activity level, sleep, anxiety, depression, body image, fatigue, strength, flexibility and quality of life of women undergoing breast cancer treatment use Tamoxifen and Aromatase Inhibitor and women without cancer. Method. The sample will be formed by women without cancer and under treatment with hormone therapy being accompanied by the public service for treatment of breast cancer of the city of Presidente Prudente. A 24-week notification in which the face-to-face training group will undergo aerobic training three times a week on interspersed days and the group accompanied at a distance will perform as a preferred activity under a distance supervision of professionals every 14 days of return to attend the UNESP for the adequacy of the analysis and selection of attendance to the proposed activities. Evaluations of the variables of interest at the baseline of the intervention will be performed after 12 weeks and soon after the intervention. The investigators will analyze: biomarkers (TNFα, LDL, HDL, VLDL, as well as in the lipid profile (triglycerides, total cholesterol and LDL fractions ), glycemia, insulin, anthropometric measurements, physical activity level, sleep, pain, anxiety, depression, body image, fatigue, strength, flexibility. Trainings will be performed within the target zone of maximum heart rate. Comparisons between groups at each time point will be performed using Student's T-test for independent samples. The comparisons of the variables of interest at the initial moment and after 12 and 24 weeks will be made through the multivariate analysis, where the group effects, time and interaction of both will be compared. All analyzes will be performed in SPSS software version 24.0 and significance of 5%.
Juvenile Takayasu disease is characterized by chronic inflammation that leads to vascular disease. Exercise may render anti-inflammatory effects and protect against cardiovascular events. This trial aims to investigate the therapeutic role of exercise in juvenile Takayasu disease.
This is a global Phase III, two-arm, open-label, multicenter, randomized study to investigate the pharmacokinetics, efficacy, and safety of the fixed-dose combination (FDC) of pertuzumab and trastuzumab for subcutaneous (SC) administration in combination with chemotherapy in patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive early breast cancer in the neoadjuvant/adjuvant setting.
To determine the long-term nephroprotective potential of treatment with sparsentan as compared to an angiotensin receptor blocker in patients with primary and genetic focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS).
Obesity is a chronic disease that has grown to epidemic proportions in Brazil and throughout the world in recent years. Bariatric surgery has been the most effective method for the treatment and prophylaxis of complications caused by morbid obesity, thereby increasing the longevity and quality of life of patients. The treatment of patients with Class III obesity or higher or Class II with comorbidities is already well established with bariatric surgery being the best option. However, there is no consensus as to the best treatment in cases of Class I or II obesity without comorbidities. The objective of this research will be to make a gastric tube similar to that obtained by surgical gastroplication but using endoscopic intragastric sutures.
Glucocorticoids (GC) use has increased survival of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), particularly in cases of nephritis and a more significant improvement to 80% with the introduction of therapy combined with immunosuppressants. This therapeutic scheme, however, results in a very high incidence of irreversible damage that is associated in more than 70% of the cases to GC use and in a smaller proportion to the use of high dose cyclophosphamide. CYCLONES is a Controlled Randomized Clinical Trial with the aim of evaluating the efficacy of a regimen for lupus nephritis treatment using only intravenous corticosteroid administration. This intravenous corticosteroid regimen has already been tested (with Rituximab instead of Cyclophosphamide) with high response rates for lupus nephritis and significant reduction of side effects. After selection, patients will be randomized in two arms: 116 patients will receive Euro-Lupus nephritis regimen and other 116 will undergo treatment with CYCLONES regimen. The primary endpoint is the partial response (protein/creatinine ratio < 3 with decrease at least of 50% of the initial value and increase of creatinine not higher than 15% of the initial value) or complete response (protein/creatinine ratio < 500 with decrease at least of 50% of the initial value and increase of creatinine not higher than 15% of the initial value in 6 months. Secondary outcome measures will be evaluated such as osteoporosis and bone metabolism parameters, ophthalmologic evaluation of the collateral effects related to glucocorticoids, lipid profile and therapy adherence.
The aim of this study is through a randomized clinical trial, double blind, splithmouth, evaluate the success rate (post or dental crown displacement; fracture of the core/post/crown; marginal integrity and absence of endotontic alterations) of definitive indirect crowns un endodontically treated teeth. The composition of the resin cement (with and without mineral trioxide aggregate) will be evaluated. Data will be collected, tabulated and submitted to statistical analysis.
