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 gemcitabine-paclitaxel and gemcitabine-platinum combinations have shown promise in the treatments of MBC; however, the optimal dosing schedules for these combinations have not yet been determined. The primary objective of this study is to compare the response rates of the gemcitabine-paclitaxel, gemcitabine-carboplatin, and gemcitabine-cisplatin combinations when administered on a biweekly schedule in metastatic breast cancer.
The purposes of this study are to determine: How standard gemcitabine plus cisplatin compares to fixed dose rate of gemcitabine plus cisplatin in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer. The safety of standard gemcitabine plus cisplatin and any side effects that might be associated with it as compared to a fixed dose rate of gemcitabine plus cisplatin.
This is a phase III randomized study between the docetaxel/gemcitabine and docetaxel/ capecitabine doublets, with crossover to the alternate agent. The experimental arm will receive gemcitabine 1000 mg/m2 intravenous (IV) over 30 minutes days 1 and 8 and docetaxel 75 mg/m2 IV day 1 over 1 hour repeated every three weeks. The comparator arm will receive docetaxel 75 mgm/m2 IV day 1 over 1 hour and oral capecitabine 1000 mg/m2 twice daily, days 1 through 14 repeated every three weeks. Patients who progress on the experimental arm, will be treated with capecitabine as dosed on the comparator arm. Patients who progress on the comparator arm will be treated with gemcitabine as dosed on the experimental arm.
The study evaluates the effectiveness of duloxetine in reducing urinary incontinence occurrences in women due to physical stress(e.g. stomach pressure on bladder). Incontinence is the inability to control bladder function with leakage of urine.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate and to compare the efficacy and safety of a triple modified release tacrolimus FK506E (MR4) / MMF / steroid regimen with a triple standard tacrolimus FK506 / MMF / steroid regimen in patients undergoing kidney transplantation. It shall be demonstrated that FK506E (MR4) is non-inferior to FK506 with regards to the primary endpoint.
To evaluate and to compare efficacy and safety of a dual regimen with oral modified release tacrolimus FK506E (MR4) / steroids versus a dual regimen with oral tacrolimus FK506 / steroids in patients undergoing primary liver transplantation. It shall be demonstrated that FK506E (MR4) is non-inferior to FK506 with regards to the primary endpoint.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of Low Molecular Weight Heparin (LMWH) (Fragmin, dalteparin) versus Unfractionated Heparin (UFH) on the primary outcome of proximal leg Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) diagnosed by compression ultrasound, and the secondary outcomes of Pulmonary Embolism (PE), bleeding, Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia (HIT), and objectively confirmed venous thrombosis at any site.
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of levetiracetam used as adjunctive treatment in pediatric subjects age 1 month to less than 4 years with partial onset seizures. Subjects will be evaluated with 48 hour inpatient video electroencephalograms (a selection and an evaluation). Other neuropsychological clinical assessments will be performed during the 34 day length of the study.
This trial will evaluate the efficacy and safety of brivaracetam (at doses of 5, 20 and 50 mg/day in twice a day administration) as add-on therapy in subjects with focal epilepsy.
To investigate the efficacy of ciclesonide MDI either as once daily or twice daily in patients with mild to moderate asthma, who have not previously been treated with an inhaled corticosteroid.
