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 whether the administration of iduronate-2-sulfatase enzyme in a weekly or every other week therapy frequency is safe and efficacious in patients with MPS II.
This 2 arm study will compare the efficacy and safety of intermittent oral Xeloda plus Eloxatin (oxaliplatin) with that of fluorouracil/leucovorin in patients who have had surgery for colon cancer and no previous chemotherapy. Patients will be randomized to receive either 1) XELOX (Xeloda 1000mg/m2 po bid on days 1-15 + oxaliplatin) in 3 week cycles or 2)5-fluorouracil + leucovorin in 4 or 8 week cycles. The anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression and the target sample size is 500+ individuals.
This 4 arm study assessed the efficacy and safety of oral capecitabine (Xeloda) or intravenous (iv) fluorouracil/leucovorin, in combination with iv oxaliplatin (Eloxatin) with or without iv bevacizumab (Avastin), as a first-line treatment in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. Patients were randomized to receive 1) XELOX (Xeloda 1000 mg/m^2 orally [po] twice a day [bid] on Days 1-15 + oxaliplatin in 3 week cycles), 2) FOLFOX-4 (oxaliplatin + leucovorin + fluorouracil [5-FU] in 2 week cycles), 3) XELOX + bevacizumab (7.5 mg iv on Day 1 in 3 week cycles), or 4) FOLFOX-4 + bevacizumab (5 mg iv on Day 1 in 2 week cycles).
The purpose of the study is to determine if Pegvisomant is more efficacious than Sandostatin LAR Depot in normalizing IGF-I levels in treatment naive patients with acromegaly.
The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and tolerability of combination therapy with Sandostatin LAR plus Pegvisomant to that of Sandostatin LAR alone or Pegvisomant alone.
The purpose of this study is to control the levels of bacteria that causes cavities in mothers by a combination of treatments that include fluoride and chlorhexidine varnishes and xylitol-chewing gum before the appearance of teeth in the mouth of their children. By doing that we expect to reduce the acquisition of the bacteria that causes cavities (the mutans streptococci) by the children which in turn will reduce the development of cavities.
This is a phase IIIb comparative study of entecavir 1.0 mg once daily (QD) vs. adefovir 10 mg QD in patients who have chronic hepatitis B infection and hepatic decompensation. The patients are treated for 96 weeks after the last subject is randomized.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of Faslodex (fulvestrant) to Aromasin (exemestane) in hormone receptor positive 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.
The purpose of this randomized clinical trial is to determine if lowering homocysteine levels in renal transplant recipients with a multivitamin will reduce the occurrence of cardiovascular disease outcomes.
The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of tacrolimus/mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), cyclosporine/MMF and tacrolimus modified release/MMF in de novo kidney transplant recipients.
