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.
Primary objective: To demonstrate the non-inferiority of insulin glargine in comparison to insulin detemir in term of percentage of patients who reach the target of HbA1c < 7% at the end of the treatment period and do not experience symptomatic hypoglycemia, confirmed by plasma glucose (PG) ≤ 56 mg/dL (3.1 mmol/L) Secondary objectives: - To compare between the 2 treatment groups, the percentage of patients who reach the target of HbA1c < 7% and < 6.5% at the end of the treatment period - To compare the changes in HbA1c and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) - To compare the evolution of blood glucose profiles - To compare the day to day FPG variability, the insulin doses - To determine in each treatment group the biochemical and patient-related determinants of failure to reach HbA1c targets - To compare the overall incidence and rate of symptomatic hypoglycemia and nocturnal symptomatic hypoglycemia confirmed by PG ≤ 56 mg/dL (3.1 mmol/L) - To compare over the treatment period, the overall incidence and rate of symptomatic hypoglycemia and symptomatic nocturnal hypoglycemia (with PG ≤ 70 mg/dL [3.9 mmol/L]), of symptomatic day-time hypoglycemia (with PG ≤ 70 mg/dL and with PG ≤ 56 mg/dL), of severe hypoglycemia, of asymptomatic hypoglycemia with PG ≤ 56 mg/dL - To compare the overall safety: incidence of adverse events (including serious hypoglycemia and local tolerance at injection site), change in body weight, in waist circumference and in waist / hip ratio - To assess the quality of life and treatment satisfaction
A double-blind clinical trial investigating if a sub-group of functional dyspeptic patients without any use of NSAID or gastric erosions could have a better evolution of their dyspeptic symptoms after Helicobacter eradication than the placebo control group
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of rivaroxaban with warfarin for the prevention of blood clots in the brain (referred to as stroke) and blood clots in other parts of the body referred to as non-central nervous system systemic embolism) in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (a heart rhythm disorder).
The purpose of this study is to learn if conversion to belatacept from cyclosporine or tacrolimus will preserve kidney function in people who have had a kidney transplant. The safety and tolerability of this treatment will also be studied
The primary purpose of this study is to gather additional safety data for the subjects treated with the Alair System (hereinafter, "Alair-Treated Subjects") who previously completed the one-year study entitled: "Multicenter Randomized Clinical Trial of Bronchial Thermoplasty with the Alair System for the Treatment of Severe Asthma" (Protocol #0903-27) sponsored by Asthmatx, Inc. Subjects who elect to participate in this safety study will be followed for an additional four (4) year period beyond the PREDECESSOR STUDY'S one-year endpoint (clinicaltrials.gov number NCT00214539).
The goal of this study is to answer the following questions: - Whether treatment with amantadine, metformin or zonisamide can prevent or reverse the weight gain that is associated with olanzapine - Whether taking amantadine, metformin or zonisamide can help patients decrease or eliminate some of the changes in body that occur with weight gain - How weight gain associated with olanzapine can affect people - Whether treatment with amantadine, metformin or zonisamide can help eliminate weight gain associated with olanzapine and not interfere with the positive effects of olanzapine on functioning of people with schizophrenia and other diseases
The purpose of Part 1 of the study is to determine the safety of the combination of Siltuximab (CNTO 328) and bortezomib (Velcade). The purpose of Part 2 of the study is to compare the length of progression free survival for those patients given CNTO 328 and bortezomib to those patients given bortezomib alone.
The purpose of the study is to compare time to progression and overall survival after treatment with Taxotere plus cisplatin versus cisplatin plus 5-FU (PF treatment group) in the first line treatment of patients with recurrent and/or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.
This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination valsartan with hydrochlorothiazide and amlodipine in hypertensive patients previously treated with valsartan with hydrochlorothiazide and remaining uncontrolled. A naturalistic approach will be taken comparing two different possible ways to achieve the higher dosage of the triple combination, i.e. 160 mg of valsartan and 25 mg of hydrochlorothiazide with amlodipine 10 mg.
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes, including acute myocardial infarction and stroke. Atherosclerosis is an important step for these events. Recent studies demonstrated the independent association between OSA and validated markers of atherosclerosis. However, the impact of treatment with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) on these markers is unknown. The purpose of this study is to determine whether CPAP therapy can reverses early signs of atherosclerosis in apparently healthy OSA patients.
