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 current treatment recommendations for P. vivax in pregnant and non-pregnant individuals are to use chloroquine; in non-pregnant patients this is followed by primaquine to prevent relapse. As primaquine can not be used in pregnant women, these women remain at risk of relapse. As there is increasing concern about chloroquine resistant P. vivax in this region, there is a need to identify alternative treatment options. The artemisinin combination therapies are recommended for use against P. falciparum infections in pregnant women after the 1st trimester; additional data are needed to support the use of these drugs against P. vivax.
The purpose of this registry is to compare the safety and the performance of the NEVO™ Sirolimus-eluting Coronary Stent, once commercially available, to the CYPHER Select® Plus Sirolimus-eluting Coronary Stent in complex subjects presenting with acute STEMI for primary intervention, diabetes mellitus or multi vessel disease. The second purpose of this registry is to evaluate the safety and performance of the NEVO™ Sirolimus-eluting Coronary Stent, once commercially available and the CYPHER Select® Plus Sirolimus-eluting Coronary Stent in complex subjects diagnosed with acute STEMI for primary intervention, diabetes mellitus and/or multi vessel disease. The data will be collected from subjects treated with commercially available product and following routine clinical practice. Uniform, complete and accurate data will be collected on the subject's medical history, peri-procedurally, during the index hospitalization, and during follow-up.
This extension study will assess the safety and efficacy of AIN457 versus placebo for maintaining uveitis suppression when reducing systemic immunosuppression
Data on the burden of MIP in low transmission areas, such as Latin America, are very limited; there is even less information on the efficacy of case management of MiP. The treatment recommendations for MiP in Latin American countries have been changing rapidly in recent months; currently, either artemether-lumefantrine (AL) or mefloquine-artesunate (MA) is the first line treatment for P. falciparum (depending on country); however, no data exists on the efficacy of these drugs for the treatment of malaria in pregnancy in Latin America to support their use. We propose a multi-center 2-arm open-label randomized Phase 4 clinical trial to assess safety and efficacy of the present therapies, AL and MA. We hypothesize that the drugs will both be efficacious for use in pregnant women in Brazil.
Primary Objective: 1- Proportion of patients with mean daily glycemia <140mg/dL during the period of 7 days of treatment with glargine plus supplemental glulisine versus patients with glulisine sliding scale. Secondary Objective: 1. Incidence of moderate hyperglycemia (>140mg/dL) during the treatment period. 2. Incidence of hypoglycemia (<60mg/dL and < 40mg/dL) during the treatment period. 3. Incidence of severe hyperglycemia (>400mg/dL) during the treatment period. 4. Total dose of insulin and correction dose in each group.
This randomized phase 3 trial is studying the effect of denosumab to see if it can prevent disease recurrence in the bone or in any other part of the body, when it is given as adjuvant therapy for women with early-stage breast cancer, who are at high risk of disease recurrence.
There is no AED or medication that has been demonstrated to affect the development of post-traumatic epilepsy. Biperiden is a cholinergic antagonist, acting in the muscarinic receptor, that is widely used as an anti Parkinson drug. The investigators data with animal models of epilepsy indicate that anti-muscarinic agents might affect the natural course of the disease in the case of post-traumatic epilepsy.
The purpose of this study was to determine if maintenance therapy with ofatumumab would prolong remission in patients with CLL who have responded to second or third line treatment. This study would also evaluate the safety of ofatumumab maintenance compared to observation (the current standard of care). This study was co-developed with the HOVON and NORDIC CLL group and would be conducted as a collaborative effort with GSK.
This study will assess the safety and efficacy of AIN457 as adjunctive therapy for the treatment of intermediate uveitis, posterior uveitis, or panuveitis requiring systemic immunosuppression.
Introduction: The prevalence of overlap between Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS) is around 10%. This overlap syndrome is an important issue because is related to nocturnal desaturation and its complications. The use of portable monitoring devices (PM) for the diagnosis of OSAS was recently accepted as an alternative to full-night polysomnography (PSG). However, there are not studies evaluating the PM recording in COPD patients to detect or exclude OSAS. Objective: To evaluate if a PM (Stardust®, Respironics, Inc, USA) could accurately measure the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) in COPD patients with a suspicion of OSAS.
