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.
A study to compare the safety and efficacy of an aromatase inhibitor in combination with lapatinib, trastuzumab or both for the treatment of hormone receptor positive, HER2+ metastatic breast cancer (MBC).
HIV vaccines are designed to create an immune response to certain components of the HIV virus called peptides. Previous research indicates that one peptide, called Gag, may be particularly important for stimulating an immune response to HIV. Many vaccines being studied combine multiple peptides, but including other peptides may weaken the body's response to Gag. This study will test whether a vaccine that targets Gag and another peptide called Env is better than a vaccine without Env at causing an immune response to Gag.
Objectives - To construct and validate a questionnaire evaluating violence suffered by women during any phase of their lives and health repercussions during climactery. Method: A controlled study with the application of a questionnaire at the Outpatient Clinics for Endocrine Gynecology and Climactery of the University Hospital (Hospital das Clínicas) of the Medicine College of the University of São Paulo (FMUSP), Brazil, performed during 2009 for 124 women aged between 40 and 65 years, who were victims of domestic and/or sexual violence, distributed in three groups regarding the phase in which their experience with violence occurred: 1. Violence exclusively during childhood/adolescence; 2. During adulthood; 3. Throughout all phases. The instrument encompasses 13 key questions and 21 sub items evaluating: 1. Place of residence and who the woman lives with; 2. Start, frequency and type of violence; 3. Search for health assistance and report of the violence; 4. Violence and number of affections; 5. Violence and Menopausal Kupermann Index (IMK). Results: The instrument presented Cronbach Alpha=0.82, reliability among examiners (+0,80), and good possibility to be reproduced. Average age of the women was 55,8 years (±6,6), menopause at -45,4 years in average, in the control Group (GC) it was 48,1 years; first sexual intercourse 19,5 years (GC = 21,0); menarche 13,1 years, and average BMI (Body Mass Index) 28,5 (±2,8), similar to the GC, but frequent violence during adulthood showed a BMI of 30,0 (±2,8). Women who were submitted to violence exclusively: during childhood 14,5%; adolescence 1,6%; adulthood 41,9%, during all phases of their lives 42,0%. Women subjected to violence during childhood/adolescence (58,1%) presented an average of 5,1 affections; during adulthood, 4,6 and 4,4 for both phases. Sexual violence (43,5%) and other types of violence both present average affections (4,60) but represent a significative impairment of sexual life. There were significative associations between suffering any type of violence during all phases of their lives, sexual violence during any phase of their lives and a serious IMK. Among those women, 80,6% did not search health services due to the violence suffered. Conclusion: The questionnaire presents good internal consistency and a validated construction, can be easily reproduced and is indicated to evaluate the consequences of domestic and/or sexual violence on women´s health during climactery.
Primary Objective: - To prove the efficacy superiority in reducing the genital odor and increase hydration in mucosa genital comparing the use of Dermacyd (different fragrances) and Glycerine Vegetal Soap Granado Traditional Secondary Objective: - To evaluate the safety in normal conditions of use, verifying clinical signs and lab exams.
This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the oral solution of paracetamol, chlorpheniramine maleate and phenylephrine hydrochloride in reducing symptoms of flu and the common cold. There will be a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. Will be included 216 subjects, male or female, aged greater than 12 and less than or equal to 60 years, irrespective of color and / or race with symptoms of recent onset, for more than 6 hours and less than 48 hours length, characterizing Common Cold and / or Influenza. After clinical evaluation and laboratory research subjects will be randomized to receive active drug or placebo, 10 ml oral solution every 6 hours for 48 hours. The follow-up visits will be held on 2 (24 hours after first intervention) and in 3 days (48 hours after first intervention). The outcomes to assess the effectiveness so far consist of the scores of symptoms and to assess the safety of the drug will be accompanied by the emergence of adverse events.
This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of new ophthalmic formulations of bimatoprost in patients with open angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension. At least 3 dose strengths will be evaluated based on internal data review of each cohort. The study was planned to be conducted in 2 stages. Stage 1 was an open-label and Stage 2 was planned to be masked; however only Stage 1 was conducted.
The investigators intend to study the prevalence of obstructive apnea in patients submitted to partial laryngectomy by larynx cancer. Volunteers will be evaluated using polissonografy. We will try to correlate the residual glotic area with the number of apneas per hour.
Objective: To assess whether the anxiety caused by a task considered anxiogenic, Simulated Public Speaking (SPS) test, would change the responses of healthy individuals regarding physiological and vocal parameters. Method: The sample comprised 30 participants of both genders, 19-42 years old, with no history of psychiatric disorders. The score in the STAI-Trait enabled investigators to assign participants to two groups: LOW ANXIETY (LA) and HIGH ANXIETY (HA). The investigators evaluated physiological parameters (heart rate, skin conductance, temperature in the extremities, electromyogram of the frontal muscle and salivary cortisol) and vocal parameters (vocal self-evaluation, quality of life in voice and vocal symptoms and signs) BEFORE, DURING and AFTER the SPS.
The purpose of this study was to compare the microbiological effects of two different treatments: a single dose of intramuscular benzathine penicillin G (IM BPG) vs. a 10-day daily dose of amoxicillin for the treatment of GABHS pharyngitis in children in low resource settings. This study was a prospective multi-center randomized active control treatment trial. The trial is a non-inferiority equivalence trial, to determine if amoxicillin treatment is at least as effective as the currently given IM BPG treatment.
Introduction: randomized studies on programs implemented during pre-natal care that offer information and physical activities preparing pregnant women for delivery are scarce in the scientific literature. Objective: to evaluate the effectively of the Program for Preparation of Pregnant Women for Delivery on the prevention of physical and psychological difficulties and problems during pregnancy and delivery in nulliparous women participating in the program. Subjects and methods: a randomized clinical single blind trial will be conducted with 192 pregnant nulliparous women allocated to participate or not of the program activities. The women allocated to the study group will participate of physical and educational activities at each pre-natal consultation and will receive orientation on the exercises they will perform at their home. Participants of the non-interventional group will follow the habitual routine care at the service. Participants will be selected among nulliparous low risk pregnant women aged between 16 and 40 years old after the 20th week of gestation. Data analysis: will be performing by intention to treat. For the continues variables the t-Student or Wilcoxon test will be performing; for the categorical variables the tests x² or Fisher, and the risk estimate will be estimated using a Relative Risk with 95% CI. ANOVA will be use for measures between the groups and along time, and correlation tests for anxiety and physical activity with gestational and perinatal variables.
