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.
This is a follow-on study to the VELOUR trial (NCT00561470). The aim of this study is to acquire the archived colorectal cancer and metastasized tissue tumour blocks of patients who have participated in the VELOUR study. These samples will be analysed to find proteins or markers which represent how an individual may be responding to treatment. The identification of these markers may help provide personalised and more effective treatment programs for patients with similar conditions in the future.
Metabolic syndrome (MS) is characterized by a series of metabolic and hemodynamic parameters such as hypertension (hypertension), abdominal obesity, dyslipidemia, abnormal glucose metabolism and insulin resistance, resulting in increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality and the risk for developing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Metabolic syndrome is a common event after renal transplantation. The prevalence of MS increases post-transplant with weight gain. In renal transplant recipients, the SM is associated with CVD, diabetes after transplantation, worsening renal function and graft loss. Immunosuppressant medications have primary effect on the pathophysiology of MS. Several studies have evaluated the prevalence and impact of metabolic syndrome in renal transplant recipients as obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia and use of immunosuppressants. The objectives of this study are to determine whether the determination of the metabolic syndrome at 6 months predicts this same condition at 12 months, determine the prevalence of metabolic syndrome at 12 months, to assess the prevalence of obesity and overweight in this population and to assess the prevalence of diabetes mellitus after renal transplantation. Patients who meet the inclusion criteria and did not meet the exclusion criteria will be invited to participate in the study, signing the Instrument of Consent (IC) and informed about the objectives and procedures of the study to be performed, with age between 18 and 60 years, both sexes, renal transplant recipients Renal Transplant Unit, Hospital das Clinicas, FMUSP living donor or deceased and use of immunosuppressive regimen consisting of tacrolimus, mycophenolate sodium and prednisone. Sampling will be conducted laboratory tests, filling out questionnaires on quality of life and anthropometric measures.
To characterize the natural history and progression of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) to help inform the design of future studies, to capture biomarkers of safety and disease progression and to provide comparative data for the development of rare exons for which formal controlled trials are not feasible.
The purpose of the study is to document long-term response in real-life practice after injection cycles with BoNT-A in subjects suffering from idiopathic cervical dystonia (Long-term clinical and pharmaco-economic data).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety of anifrolumab (MEDI-546) in adults with moderate to severe active systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
The hypothesis will be tested that fat can also increase absorption of (non)-nutrients from a salad. Therefore we designed the current study to show an increase in relative absorption (bioavailability) of (non-) nutrients from a mixed salad by adding fat containing dressing.
The purpose of this trial is to investigate the efficacy and safety of lidocaine 5% medicated plaster in localized chronic post-operative neuropathic pain in comparison to placebo plaster.
Thoracolumbar fractures are the most common spinal fractures with an average annual incidence between 18 and 30 per 100'000 inhabitants. The majority of these fractures are AO type A3 ("burst fractures"). Although patients with burst fractures report a reduced quality of life and chronic pain, there is no clear evidence whether surgical or conservative treatment offer better functional and back-pain related outcomes. The indications for the selection of an ideal treatment for these fractures without neurological deficits remain controversial. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether patients with thoracolumbar fractures without neurological deficit being surgically treated show faster recovery and better improvement of function than patients being conservatively treated.
The purpose of this study is to estimate the incidence of dengue infection in children and adults in geographically distinct locations of Brazil.
