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 primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of paricalcitol in participants with moderate to severe secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) undergoing hemodialysis who are resistant to treatment with calcitriol.
The purpose of this study is to determine if adding ASA404 to standard chemotherapy makes the cancer treatment more effective in patients with advanced lung cancer.
The study compares valdecoxib 40 mg once daily vs. rofecoxib 50 mg one daily in treating the signs and symptoms of acute first- or second-degree ankle sprain. The study also evaluated the disability status, tolerability and safety of these treatments.
Our hypothesis is that with comparison of effectiveness of two most common techniques of treatment for myofascial pain syndrome (injection of local anesthesia and ischemic compression) we could choice the most adequate to treat this disease. This way we could decrease the expenses with medicines, examinations, consultations and the time that women remains without a diagnosis and treatment.
Enthuse M0 is a large phase III clinical trial studying the efficacy of ZD4054 (Zibotentan) in hormone resistant prostate cancer (HRPC). This clinical trial will test if the Endothelin A Receptor Antagonist ZD4054 (Zibotentan) can improve progression-free survival and overall survival against a background of existing prostate cancer treatments. ZD4054 (Zibotentan) is a new type of agent, which is thought to slow tumour growth and spread by blocking Endothelin receptor activity. This trial will look at the effects of ZD4054 (Zibotentan) in hormone resistant prostate cancer (HRPC) patients who have had rising PSA after surgical or medical castration but have no evidence of metastases. All patients participating in this clinical trial will receive existing prostate cancer treatments in addition to trial therapy. Half the patients will receive ZD4054 (Zibotentan) , and half the patients will receive placebo in addition to standard prostate cancer therapy. By participating in this trial there is a 50% chance that patients will receive an agent that may slow the progression of the tumour. No patients will be deprived of standard prostate cancer therapy.
The trial will determine the value of adding bevacizumab to chemotherapy plus trastuzumab in patients with resected node-positive or high risk node-negative, HER2-positive breast cancer.
Using bone marrow mononuclear cell in 24 patients with Idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Conor Sirolimus-eluting Coronary Stent System in the treatment of coronary artery disease (a single atherosclerotic lesion) in native coronary arteries. The study will evaluate the outcomes of a new drug-eluting stent compared to an approved drug-eluting stent. While Cordis made a business decision to no longer pursue NEVO™ development and commercialization, the patients will be followed up as per protocol. This includes performing all protocol required follow-up visits and the collection and reporting of all safety information.
The primary objective of this study is to determine whether S-1 increases overall survival when compared to 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer previously treated with a gemcitabine-based therapy. The secondary objectives are to compare: progression free survival, overall response rate, clinical benefit and improvement in tumor related symptoms and also to assess overall safety and pharmacokinetics of S-1.
Determine whether the addition of CP- 751,871 in combination with paclitaxel plus carboplatin prolongs survival in patients with locally advanced (Stage IIIB with pleural effusion) or metastatic (Stage IV or recurrent) NSCLC of non adenocarcinoma histology.
