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 study will compare the effects of 2.0 mg exenatide once weekly injection as monotherapy to 3 active comparators(metformin, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor, and thiazolidinedione) in drug naive patients with type 2 diabetes treated with diet and exercise.
The purpose of this study will be to analyze 13-valent pneumococcal vaccine given to healthy infants in Brazil for safety and tolerability, and to determine the immune response to the vaccines.
This study aims to determine the effectiveness of antenatal corticosteroid therapy in late preterm babies. The investigators hypothesis is corticoid accelerates fetal lung maturation even after 34 weeks and reduces risk of respiratory distress syndrome and other neonatal morbidities.
This study is designed to identify biomarkers which may predict improvement in progression free survival from treatment with Tarceva, in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer who failed one prior regimen of standard chemotherapy or who are deemed unsuitable for chemotherapy. It will also assess the efficacy and safety of Tarceva in this patient population. Patients will be randomized to receive either Tarceva 150mg/day po, or placebo po daily. Tumor tissue will be used for biomarker analysis. The anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.
An age-related decrease in muscular strength may have a detrimental effect on muscle fatigue and recovery. To date, only one study has determined the effect of varied rest intervals (RI) between exercise sets in active younger and older women. They reported that active younger and older women require similar RI between sets to recovery full isokinetic knee extension peak torque (PT). However, we are unaware of any published studies comparing RI PT recovery between younger and older men. Thus, the purpose of this study was to compare the effect of two different RI's between sets of isokinetic knee extension exercise on PT, and Total Work (TW) between untrained younger and older men.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate safety, not inferiority clinical and pharmacodynamic profile of the drug Enoxaparin Sodium produced by laboratory Blausiegel when compared with Clexane product, produced by Laboratory Sanofi-Aventis in 60 patients with Chronic Renal Desease.
The present work had as purpose to analyze estomy-individuals according to the feelings of their current situation.
This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of methylnaltrexone administered as subcutaneous injections in subjects who have opioid-induced constipation and an advanced illness. The hypothesis is that methylnaltrexone will be safe and effective in relieving opioid-induced constipation in these subjects.
Hypothesis: The combined use of Clonidine and Morphine in caudal anesthesia provides better postoperative analgesia than either drug alone after urogenital pediatric surgery.
The primary purpose of this clinical trial is to compare in a double-blind randomized trial, the efficacy and safety of ciprofloxacin MR 1000 mg tablets given as a single-dose or as a multiple-dose regimen for the prevention of infectious complications in patients undergoing transrectal needle biopsies of the prostate (TRNBP).
