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 phase III study will evaluate the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics (PK) of recombinant human pentraxin-2 (rhPTX-2; PRM-151) zinpentraxin alfa, compared with placebo in participants with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).
The purpose of the study is to determine if Liquid Alpha1-Proteinase Inhibitor (Human) (Liquid Alpha1-PI) plus SMT can reduce the proportion of participants dying or requiring intensive care unit (ICU) admission on or before Day 29 or who are dependent on high flow oxygen devices or invasive mechanical ventilation on Day 29 versus placebo plus SMT in hospitalized participants with COVID-19.
The therapeutic hypothesis for the use of losmapimod in COVID-19 disease is that increased mortality and severe disease is caused by p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)-mediated exaggerated acute inflammatory response resulting from SARS-CoV-2 infection. The study Sponsor hypothesizes that the early initiation of p38α/β inhibitor therapy in patients hospitalized with moderate COVID-19 who are at increased risk of a poor prognosis based on older age and elevated systemic inflammation will reduce clinical deterioration including progression to respiratory failure and death. To address this hypothesis, Fulcrum Therapeutics is conducting a Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study that will evaluate the safety and efficacy of losmapimod versus placebo in subjects 40 and older who are hospitalized with moderate COVID-19 disease.
Study D822FC00005 will investigate the Phamacokinetics, Safety and tolerability of Acalabrutinib suspension when delivered via a nasogastric tube and co-administered with a Proton Pump Inhibitor, in the treatment of COVID-19.
Postoperative pain affects 80% of surgical patients and is one of the main negative symptoms resulting from surgery. It impairs the recovery of patient since it is related to chronic pain, nausea and vomiting and longer hospital stay, generating higher cost to the health system. Thus, the use of new methods to control postoperative pain is recommended and multimodal analgesia, an opioid-sparing strategies, has been widely used by several researchers. Studies show that gabapentins have beneficial effects on postoperative pain control when used as pre-anesthetic medication, also showing a reduction in opioid consumption, with few adverse effects. Among gynecological surgeries, abdominal hysterectomy is one of the procedures that generates the highest degree of acute postoperative pain. Thus, the aim of the present study is to investigate the effect of oral pregabalin (300 mg) two hours before abdominal hysterectomy procedures on postoperative pain. This study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled clinical trial. Patients submitted to abdominal hysterectomy for benign pathologies will be selected and divided into two groups: the placebo controlled group (P0) and the pregabalin 300 mg group (P1). Group P0 will receive a placebo tablet one hour before the procedure, while group P1 will receive a 300 mg tablet of pregabalin identical to the placebo tablet. The reduction of postoperative pain and the best quality of patient recovery will be evaluated using the Visual Analogue Pain Scale (VAS) and the McGill Pain Questionnaire. Also, it will be evaluated the consumption of opioids as a rescue analgesic medication and the presence of adverse effects such as nausea and vomiting.
The SWITCH-COVID trial will randomize patients with COVID-19 that are currently using renin-angiotensin system inhibitors for treating hypertension to maintain the therapy during in-hospital stay or switch the therapy to other antihypertensive classes.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the dose-response efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of AZD5718 in participants with proteinuric chronic kidney disease.
Primary Objective: To determine whether Amcenestrant (SAR439859) in combination with palbociclib improves progression free survival (PFS) when compared with letrozole in combination with palbociclib in participants with estrogen receptor positive (ER+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HER2-) advanced breast cancer who have not received any prior systemic anticancer therapies for advanced disease. Secondary Objective: - To compare the overall survival in both treatment arms. - To evaluate the objective response rate in both treatment arms. - To evaluate the duration of response in both treatment arms. - To evaluate the clinical benefit rate in both treatment arms. - To evaluate progression-free survival on next line of therapy. - To evaluate the pharmacokinetics of amcenestrant, and palbociclib. - To evaluate health-related quality of life in both treatment arms. - To evaluate the time to first chemotherapy in both treatment arms. - To evaluate safety in both treatment arms.
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a dramatic effect in public health worldwide. In Brazil, there have been more than 2 million confirmed cases and over 75,000 deaths since February 26, 2020. Based on reports of a hyperinflammatory state associated with COVID-19, the use of immunosuppressive drugs may be efficacious in the treatment of this disease. JAK inhibitors have been shown to harness inflammation in a number of different pathologic conditions. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of JAK inhibitor ruxolitinib in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome due to COVID-19.
The COVA clinical study is a global multicentric, double-blind, placebo-controlled, group sequential and adaptive 2 parts phase 2-3 study targeting in patients with SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia. Part 1 is a Phase 2 exploratory Proof of Concept (PoC) study to provide preliminary data on the activity, safety and tolerability of BIO101 in the target population. Part 2 is a phase 3 pivotal randomized study to provide further evidence of safety and efficacy of BIO101 after 28 days of double-blind dosing. BIO101 is the investigational new drug that activates the Mas receptor (MasR) through the protective arm of the Renin Angiotensin System (RAS).
