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 purpose of this study is to determine if the combination of clopidogrel 75mg once daily (od) plus aspirin 100mg daily (recommended dose) is better than aspirin alone (100mg daily recommended dose) for preventing vascular events such as stroke and heart attack during approximately three years of follow-up in patients with atrial fibrillation associated with at least one major risk factor of vascular event such as elderly, blood pressure increase, history of stroke or transient ischemic attack or left ventricular dysfunction etc. The study will also accept patients with atrial fibrillation and unwilling to take oral anticoagulant therapy.
The purpose of this study was to determine if Irbesartan compared to Placebo would reduce the risk of vascular events such as heart attack, stroke, non-cerebral thromboembolic event and death in patients with Atrial Fibrillation (AF) and with at least one major risk of vascular events.
The purpose of this trial is to study the efficacy of a single-dose monthly dosing regimen as compared to the standard daily dosing regimen of risedronate 5 mg daily.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Cediranib maleate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving paclitaxel and carboplatin together with AZD2171 may kill more tumor cells. It is not yet known whether giving paclitaxel and carboplatin together with AZD2171 is more effective than giving paclitaxel and carboplatin together with a placebo in treating non-small cell lung cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II/III trial is studying how well giving paclitaxel and carboplatin together with cediranib maleate works and compares it to giving paclitaxel and carboplatin together with placebo in treating patients with stage III or stage IV non-small cell lung cancer.
Odiparcil is being studied to determine if it can prevent blood clots from forming after a total knee replacement and also to prove that odiparcil is safe.
This study is being carried out to see if adding ZD1839 to other standard supportive care is more effective than standard supportive care alone for the treatment of patients with NSCLC whose disease has recurred after previous chemotherapy treatment.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of a variable dose of Symbicort with a high fixed maintenance dose of another asthma medication, Seretide, in the treatment of asthma.
This study aims to determine whether early treatment with zoledronic acid, that is given during the early phase of advanced prostate cancer, will be more efficacious than delayed treatment
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of Faslodex (fulvestrant) to Nolvadex (tamoxifen) as first-line treatment for postmenopausal women with advanced breast cancer. Patients will be treated until disease progression or until the investigator has determined that treatment is not in the best interest of the patient, whichever occurs first.
This study will allow determination of the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamics of SB424323 in a relevant population. The data from this study will be used along with other data to aid in choosing the most appropriate dose for the later phase study.
