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.
This 3-arm study will assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of taspoglutide compared with exenatide in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus inadequately controlled with metformin, thiazolidinedione or a combination of both. Patients will be randomized to receive taspoglutide (10mg once weekly or 10mg once weekly for 4 weeks followed by 20mg once weekly) or exenatide (5 micrograms twice daily for 4 weeks followed by 10 micrograms twice daily) in a ratio of 1:1:1 in addition to continued prestudy metformin and thiazolidinedione either alone or in combination. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3+ years, and the target sample size is >500 individuals.
The investigators objective is to describe functional endoscopic evaluation of swallowing findings in children with cerebral palsy.
This study is designed to determine the clinical efficacy and toxicity of ABT-869 in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel in the treatment of subjects with advanced or metastatic NSCLC.
The purpose of this academic lead study is to determine if a treatment strategy of early intensive blood pressure (BP) lowering compared to conservative BP lowering policy in patients with elevated blood pressure within 6 hours of acute intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) improves the outcome of death and disability at 3 months after onset.
The Psoriasis and a chronic dermatosis characterized by abnormal proliferation of cells epithelial, vessel dilation and inflammation locally, which presents erythematous-scaly lesions in various areas of the body, preferably in the scalp, region and religious joints as elbows and knees. It occurs equally in both sexes and can appear at any age, and the mean age for the onset of the disease and around 27.3 years. The halobetasol propionate and an ultra-potent corticoid. Its chemical structure and similar to the Clobetasol corticoid this, until then classified as the most potent corticoid used worldwide in clinical practice. However, the molecular structure of Halobetasol gives it increased its activity antiinflammatory and anti-proliferative. The objective of this study is evaluating the efficacy and tolerability of the drug Halobetasol propionate cream formulation as a treatment in patients with plaque psoriasis mild to moderate, compared to the substance of similar power, Clobetasol propionate - Psorex - Cream.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the benefits and risks of lixisenatide (AVE0010), in comparison to placebo, as an add-on treatment to basal insulin with or without metformin over a period of 24 weeks of treatment, followed by an extension. The primary objective is to assess the effects of lixisenatide when added to basal insulin on glycemic control in terms of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) reduction at Week 24. The secondary objectives are to assess the effects of lixisenatide when added to basal insulin on body weight, 2-hour postprandial plasma glucose (PPG) after standardized meal challenge test, percentage of patients reaching HbA1c less than 7 percent (%), percentage of patients reaching HbA1c less than or equal to 6.5%, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), change in 7-point self-monitored plasma glucose (SMPG) profiles, change in basal insulin and total insulin doses; to evaluate safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and anti-lixisenatide antibody development.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the combination of aspirin plus clopidogrel is more effective than aspirin alone in preventing another heart attack, chest pain, stroke or death in people who have already had a heart attack that was treated with fibrinolytic therapy.
Background: Compare the American and Brazilian protocols for prophylaxis of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), seeking to draft a new protocol, more comprehensive and applicable. Methods: A prospective study was conducted over a year, covering 212 patients, comparing the protocols on the stratification of risk of DVT, and the type of prophylaxis indicated. A new protocol was proposed, applied and compared to previous.
