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 main goal of this present study is evaluate the decreasing of necessity of topic corticoids usage to control outbreaks of light to moderate atopic dermatitis by using the correct emollients.
This study is to provide reliable information on the management of bipolar disorders in real every day, clinical practice, to determine the clinical outcomes of such management and use of resources in relation to the disease, and to establish the factors associated with different management patterns and clinical outcomes.
Primary Objectives: Part A (dose ranging study): To demonstrate that sarilumab (SAR153191/REGN88) on top of MTX was effective on reduction of signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis at 12 weeks. Part B (pivotal study): To demonstrate that sarilumab added to MTX was effective in: - reduction of signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis at 24 weeks - inhibition of progression of structural damage at 52 weeks - improvement in physical function at 16 weeks Secondary Objectives: Part B: To demonstrate that sarilumab added to MTX was effective in induction of a major clinical response at 52 weeks To assess the safety of sarilumab added to MTX To document the pharmacokinetic profile of sarilumab added to MTX in participants with active rheumatoid arthritis who were inadequate responders to MTX therapy.
Diastolic dysfunction (DD) is an increasingly frequent condition in hypertensive individuals whose treatment remains unclear. Its presence is related to higher morbidity and mortality independent of blood pressure levels. The aim of this study is to investigate the additive effect of simvastatin on enalapril on DD in hypertensive patients with average cholesterol levels. For this aim, hypertensive patients with DD and LDL-cholesterol <160 mg/dL will undergo a run-in phase to achieve a systolic blood pressure (SBP) <135 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) <85 mmHg with enalapril. Hydrochlorothiazide could be added when need to achieve SBP or DBP control. Four weeks after reaching the optimum anti-hypertensive regimen patients will be randomized to receive 80 mg simvastatin or placebo for a period of 20 weeks. Echocardiograms will be performed before and after treatment with measurement of left atrial volume, conventional and tissue Doppler velocities in early diastole and late diastole. The evaluation of these will allow to identify changes of DD severity after treatment.
To assess the relative bioavailability of two different batches of Frademicina® drug product, containing 500 mg lincomycin hydrocloride, manufactured by Pfizer Laboratories Ltd. The formulations' comparative bioavailability after oral administration will be assessed based on the statistical comparisons of the relevant pharmacokinetic parameters, obtained from the drug concentrations in the blood. The lincomycin hydrocloride concentration will be measured by a proper and validated analytical method.
The purpose of this study is to determine if patients with metastatic prostate cancer who have not received chemotherapy live longer when treated with ipilimumab than those treated with a placebo
The purpose of this study is to provide access to telaprevir for patients from the control group in the C216 study, who failed treatment for virologic reasons. Efficacy, safety and tolerability of telaprevir in combination with standard treatment will be evaluated.
This blinded cross-over study aim to evaluate the efficacy of topical liposome-encapsulated ropivacaine formulations.

Gabapentin is an antiepileptic drug. Its antiemetic effect is demonstrated after laparoscopic surgery, but it is not yet known whether gabapentin is effective in preventing chemotherapy induced emesis. The purpose of this study is to determine whether the addition of gabapentin to dexamethasone plus ondansetron increase the control of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting.
