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 is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, event-driven, superiority study for efficacy. Patients with confirmed symptomatic DVT (deep vein thrombosis) or PE (pulmonary embolism) who completed 6 or 12 months of treatment with rivaroxaban or VKA (vitamin K antagonist) are eligible for this trial (Einstein-Extension study).
This study will investigate if the drug zoledronic acid given once yearly is safe and has beneficial effects in treating osteoporosis by reducing bone loss and fractures in men with osteoporosis.
This is an exploratory study to compare activity and safety in 400 patients with previously untreated metastatic carcinoma of the colon treated with UFOX (a combination regimen of UFT® (Tegafur plus Uracil), Oxaliplatin, Folinic Acid) plus Cetuximab or FOLFOX-4 (a combination regimen of 5 Fluorouracil (5-FU), Oxaliplatin and Folinic Acid) plus Cetuximab)
This single arm study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of sequential treatment with Diavobet (betamethasone propionate 0.5mg/g plus calcipotriol hydrate 50 micrograms/g) once daily for 4 weeks followed by Daivonex (calcipotriol hydrate 50 micrograms/g) twice daily for 4 weeks, in the control of signs and symptoms in patients with mild to moderate psoriasis. Only patients showing a >50% response to Daivobet will progress to the Daivonex maintenance phase. The anticipated time on study treatment is <3 months, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.
A study to compare Human Inhalation Powder (also known as AIR® Inhaled Insulin) (AIR® is a registered trademark of Alkermes, Inc.)with insulin glargine injections in patients with Type 2 diabetes who are currently taking oral medications and have not previously taken insulin. Change in HbA1c levels will be reviewed to determine superiority or inferiority of the AIR Inhaled Insulin regimen.
This 4 arm study will compare the efficacy and safety of PEGASYS given for 24 or 48 weeks, and at doses of 90 or 180 micrograms weekly, in the treatment of HBeAg positive patients with chronic hepatitis B. Patients will be randomized to one of 4 treatment groups: a)PEGASYS 90 micrograms subcutaneous (sc) weekly for 24 weeks, b)PEGASYS 180 micrograms sc weekly for 24 weeks, c)PEGASYS 90 micrograms sc weekly for 48 weeks or d)PEGASYS 180 micrograms sc weekly for 48 weeks. Following treatment there will be a 24 week period of treatment-free follow-up in all treatment groups for the primary endpoint. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months, and the target sample size is 500+ individuals.
Context: Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is associated with cardiovascular morbidity. Recurrent episodes of occlusion of upper airways during sleep result in hormonal changes that may predispose to high cardiovascular risk.These risks can rapidly be reduced by effective nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) therapy Objective: To evaluate hypothalamic pituitary adrenal axis, insulin resistance, blood pressure values and adipokines in severe obese patients with and without OSAS and to determine if continuous positive airway pressure therapy (nCPAP) influenced responses.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of three doses of valsartan (0.25, 1.0, and 4.0 mg/kg) on mean sitting systolic blood pressure (MSSBP) and mean sitting diastolic blood pressure (MSDBP) in 6 months - 5 year old children with hypertension (sitting systolic blood pressure [SSBP] ≥ 95th percentile ).
This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of two different doses of Pasireotide in patients with de novo or recurrent/persistent Cushing's Disease.
