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 determine the efficacy and safety of baricitinib in combination with topical corticosteroids in participants with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis who have experienced failure to cyclosporine or are intolerant to, or have contraindication to cyclosporine.
This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of relamorelin compared to placebo in participants with diabetic gastroparesis. Participants will report daily severity scores of their diabetic gastroparesis symptoms.
This trial will evaluate the safety and efficacy of pembrolizumab (MK-3475) in combination with platinum doublet neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) before surgery [neoadjuvant phase], followed by pembrolizumab alone after surgery [adjuvant phase] in participants with resectable stage II, IIIA, and resectable IIIB (T3-4N2) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The primary hypotheses of this study are that neoadjuvant pembrolizumab (vs. placebo) in combination with NAC, followed by surgery and adjuvant pembrolizumab (vs. placebo) will improve: 1) event free survival (EFS) by biopsy assessed by local pathologist or by investigator-assessed imaging using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1); and 2) overall survival (OS).
Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of immunosuppressive drugs is used to improve the immunosuppressive effect while minimizing the toxicity related to exposition to high serum levels. Although TDM is widely used in clinical practice, a significant number of kidney transplant recipients have acute allograft rejection in the first year after transplantation. To improve the use of immunosuppressive drugs, new approaches of TDM have been developed. Monitoring drug concentrations at lymphocytes of peripheral blood is considering promising because it indicates the availability of the drug directly in the target sites of immunosuppression. The present study intends to establish the concentration profile of tacrolimus in the peripheral blood in parallel with the concentration profile inside T and B lymphocytes of peripheral blood of kidney transplant recipients, and correlates them with the expected pharmacological effects. The pharmacological effects of tacrolimus in calcineurin dependent and calcineurin independent (mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) dependent) activation pathways will be assessed by measuring activated nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT) and p38, respectively, by flow cytometry. The expression of interleukin (IL) - 2 and IL-10 by T and B lymphocytes, respectively, will be also used to monitoring the pharmacodynamic effects of tacrolimus.
This is a randomized controlled trial project to analyze the effectiveness of lumbar motor control exercises and lumbar resistance training on pain, functional, kinesiophobia and trunk strength in individual with chronic low back pain. The project has two parallel arms and will be supervised by physiotherapists (motor control exercises) and physical education professionals (resistance training). The participants will be Militaries of the Military Fire Department of the Federal District who presents in the recruitment regular low back pain more than 3 months. The two groups will be supervised in12 weeks of exercises in the Physical Activity Center of Military Fire Department of the Federal District. Our hypotheses is that the resistance training effects wil be superior to motor control exercises only for trunk strength (isokinetic flexion and extension).
One-center randomized, three-arm, parallel, superiority, controlled trial in 132 elderly outpatients with type 2 diabetes. Two different combined exercise training doses (300min/week vs 150min/week) will be compared against usual care. The entire study length will last 24 weeks, and assessments will be conducted at baseline, previously to the group allocation, at 12 weeks and at 24 weeks just after the treatments' end. The study's primary outcome is the glycated hemoglobin level at 24 weeks. Secondary outcomes of clinical relevance to type 2 diabetes and elderlies will also be acquired.
B7451015 is a Phase 3 study to evaluate Abrocitinib with or without Topical Medications in patients aged 12 years and older who have moderate to severe atopic dermatitis and have completed a qualifying parent study. The efficacy and safety of two dosage strengths of Abrocitinib, 100 mg and 200 mg taken orally once daily, will be evaluated over variable lengths of study participation. The study consists of a 92 week initial treatment period followed by a variable length secondary treatment period during which subjects will receive treatment with open-label abrocitinib until availability of commercial product in their country, or until the sponsor terminates the study in that country. The B7451015 study also includes a sub-study evaluating whether abrocitinib has any potential effects on adolescent bone with regard to abnormal bone findings in knee MRI. The sub-study will be conducted in selected countries at selected sites. Eligible subjects are those who were 12 to <18 years of age at the screening visit of the qualifying parent study and who are currently participating in the main B7451015 study. The sub-study will include serial Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) annually and continue until all enrolled subjects are 18 years of age and have been imaged at least once or have discontinued/withdrawn.
A 46-week study to compare the efficacy of relamorelin with that of placebo in participants with diabetic gastroparesis (DG). At the end of the 40-week Treatment Period, participants will either continue on relamorelin or placebo for 6 additional weeks.
Recent studies with photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) have shown positive results delaying skeletal muscle fatigue and improving the status of biochemical markers related to skeletal muscle damage when these therapies were applied before exercise. The aim of this project is to verify the effects of PBMT in improvement of skeletal muscle performance and skeletal muscle recovery in healthy male subjects. This project aim also to validate the concept that simultaneous use of three wavelengths and light sources lead to optimized action independently of time-window between irradiation and the exercise.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of newly forming bone graft (NFB) in the gain of bone volume in sinus lift procedures. For that, it will be compared the tomographic bone gain 6 months after surgery between a group that received inorganic bovine bone alone (n=8) and a group that received inorganic bovine bone associated with NFB (n=8).
