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 investigators purpose is to offer active Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) in patients of the investigators previous study who received either placebo or sertraline and have not responded.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of 2 doses of LY2189265 on blood pressure and heart rate using 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM), in participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus treated with oral antihyperglycemic medications (OAMs).
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the efficacy of Adapalene 0.1%/Benzoyl Peroxide 2.5% Gel in the treatment of acne vulgaris. The safety will also be evaluated.
The investigators purpose is to follow remitted patients from their previous study using transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS); as to verify whether this treatment prevents relapse.
This is an international, randomized, controlled, parallel group study in which patients with ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) will be allocated to one of the following: Manual aspiration thrombectomy with Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) or PCI alone.
This randomized clinical trial was designed to assess the influence of time of dressing after breast reconstruction procedures on surgical site infections rates and skin colonization.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder affects approximately 2% of the population, frequently has its onset during childhood or adolescence and is potentially incapacitating. If not properly treated, this disorder tends to follow a chronic course. Pharmacotherapy with clomipramine and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), such as fluvoxamine, fluoxetine and sertraline, has been approved for pediatric OCD. However, up to 30% of patients may not benefit from these treatments, and the presence of residual symptoms is frequent among treatment responders. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is also recognized as first line treatment for pediatric OCD, either administered in individual or group format. There is evidence suggesting equivalent efficacy for SSRIs and CBT in pediatric OCD, but there is no data on adaptive treatment strategies regarding such treatments on the long term outcome of OCD patients. The aim of this study is to verify, in a randomized design, if there is an optimal sequential treatment strategy for pediatric OCD, adopting the two most studied treatments for this disorder: an SSRI and group CBT (GCBT). The investigators hypotheses are: (1) both types of treatment will present similar efficacy in the short term (14 weeks); (2) for non-responders to the first type of treatment (fluoxetine up to 80mg/day or GCBT for 14 weeks), combined treatment (fluoxetine + GCBT for another 14 weeks) will be more effective than switching treatment modality (from fluoxetine to GCBT or from GCBT to fluoxetine for additional 14 weeks) after additional 14 weeks.
Biliary complications are one of the most common problems after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT),occurring in up to 24% of patients. Anastomotic strictures have been endoscopically managed with plastic stents placement. Recently, partially and fully covered metal stents have been alternatively used to treat refractory benign biliary stenosis. The investigators purpose is to compare efficacy and safety of metallic stents versus multiple plastic stents in the endoscopic management of post transplant biliary complications.
A phase III, randomized, multicenter, open label clinical trial to evaluate efficacy and safety of the injectable association of dexamethasone, dipyrone, and hydroxocobalamin in lumbar sciatic pain. The study will enroll 140 patients in each arm (280 total).
Primary Objective: - To demonstrate that lixisenatide can reduce cardiovascular morbidity and mortality [composite endpoint of cardiovascular (CV) death, non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI), non-fatal stroke, hospitalization for unstable angina] compared to placebo in type 2 diabetic patients who recently experienced an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) event. Secondary Objectives: To demonstrate that when compared to placebo, lixisenatide can reduce: - composite endpoint of cardiovascular death, non-fatal MI, non-fatal stroke, hospitalization for unstable angina, or hospitalization for heart failure - composite endpoint of cardiovascular death, non-fatal MI, non-fatal stroke, hospitalization for unstable angina, hospitalization for heart failure, or coronary revascularization procedure - urinary albumin excretion (based on the urinary albumin/creatinine ratio). To assess the safety and tolerability of lixisenatide.
