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.
Creatine supplementation may improve cognitive function in elderly and vegetarian individuals. This study aims to investigate the role of creatine supplementation on cognitive function in healthy children.
To evaluate the effectiveness in the use of an educational material through: Assessment of knowledge about post-operative orthognathic surgery; assessing levels of anxiety with the survey of Anxiety Inventory-STATE-TRAIT; clinical evaluation of self-care in the management of postoperative signs and symptoms
Background Early conversion from calcineurin inhibitor to mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitor is one of the immunosuppressive strategies that have been investigated to mitigate long-term CNi associated adverse events. This study aims to evaluate the conversion from tacrolimus to sirolimus in de novo kidney transplant recipients. This multicenter, open-label study, planned to enroll 297 patients initially treated with tacrolimus, enteric-coated mycophenolate sodium (1440 mg/day, orally) and prednisone. The primary objective is to show superior glomerular filtration rate in the SRL group at 24 months after transplantation.
This study aims to evaluate the treatment with single implant overdenture for the edentulous mandible. The investigators hypothesize that treatment with lower overdenture retained by a single implant appears to have satisfactory effectiveness as a treatment for patients with specific conditions (such as maladaptive patients), with the advantages of simplicity and greater immediate benefits when compared to the conventional full denture, improving the retention and stability of the denture and better oral-related quality of life.
The aim of the present study is to investigate the outcomes of congenital cataract surgery when injecting intraoperative intracameral triamcinolone versus the postoperative use of oral prednisolone. This is a prospective, randomized clinical trial. Sixty children will be submitted to congenital cataract surgery younger than 2 years of age. They will be randomly divided in two groups. The study group will receive an intraoperative intracameral triamcinolone acetonide injection. The control group will receive prednisolone syrup postoperatively. The surgical outcomes will be assessed after one year.
The purpose of this prospective study is evaluate the best dose of busulfan for each patient undergoing Haematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation
To demonstrate that as adjunctive therapy to intravenous (IV) antibiotics, BAY 41-6551 400 mg (amikacin as free base) administered as an aerosol by the Pulmonary Drug Delivery System (PDDS) Clinical every 12 hours is safe and more effective than placebo (aerosolized normal saline) administered as an aerosol by the PDDS Clinical every 12 hours, in intubated and mechanically-ventilated patients with Gram-negative Pneumonia. The secondary endpoint objectives are to evaluate the superiority of aerosolized BAY 41-6551 versus aerosolized placebo in pneumonia-related mortality, the Early Clinical Response at Day 10, the days on ventilation, and the days in the intensive care unit (ICU).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the evolution of the symptoms of acute viral conjunctivitis using preservative free ketorolac trometamol 0.45% associated with carboxymethylcellulose compared with isolated use of preservative-free artificial tears.
Carbohydrates (CHO)-based drinks 2h before the induction of anesthesia are recommended to decrease insulin resistance. The addition of glutamine (GLN) in these beverages may enhance the benefits of CHO alone. However, only a few studies tested the safety of this formula. The objective of this study was to evaluate the gastric residual volume (GRV) after the intake of a beverage containing CHO plus GLN using magnetic resonance (MRI).
The primary objective of the study is to assess the safety and tolerability of long-term treatment with BIIB019 (Daclizumab High Yield Process; DAC HYP) monotherapy in participants with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) who completed Study 205MS301 (NCT01064401), Study 205MS203 (NCT01051349) or Study 205MS302 (NCT01462318). Secondary objectives of this study in this study population are as follows: To describe MS-related outcomes, including MS relapse, disability progression, MS lesion formation, and participant-reported impact of MS, following long-term treatment with DAC HYP To assess the long-term immunogenicity of DAC HYP administered by prefilled syringe (PFS) To assess the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of switching to DAC HYP in participants previously on long-term treatment with interferon β-1a (Avonex) in Study 205MS301(NCT01064401).
