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.
Oral isotretinoin is the gold standard drug to treat moderate to severe acne. Other indications like seborrhea, seborrheic dermatitis have been suggested. There is risk of reversible mucocutaneous side effects, as well as alterations in lipid profile and transaminases. The major problem is teratogenicity which demands pregnancy control from treatment beginning to one month after treatment end. Seborrhea and seborrheic dermatitis are chronic conditions characterized by oily skin, hair and scalp, erythema, desquamation and negative impact on quality of life. This will be an interventional, therapeutic and quality of life randomized, comparative (parallel groups), blinded evaluation clinical trial, comprising 50 men and women, aged 18 to 40. Treatment with low-dose oral isotretinoin will be compared to topical anti-seborrheic products to evaluate the reduction of sebaceous secretion and colonization of affected areas by yeasts of Malassezia gender. Efficacy will be evaluated by clinical parameters, as well as by sebum secretion measure and application of quality of life questionnaires. Safety will be evaluated by skin hydration measure, side effects report and observation. For subjects using oral isotretinoin blood counting, transaminases, lipid profile and pregnancy test will be requested as selection criteria, on days 30 and 180. Data will be submitted to statistical analysis.
The proposal of this study was to evaluate in human beings, using distortion product otoacoustic emission (DPOAE) test, the action of ginkgo biloba extract (GBE761)as a possible ear protective against cisplatin (CDDP) induced hearing loss.
This study is designed to evaluate the immune and therapeutic responses of visceral leishmaniasis patients using N-acetylcysteine (NAC) as an adjuvant therapy to pentavalent antimony.
The primary objective of this study is to continue to provide Darunavir (DRV) to pediatric patients who previously received DRV in any of three pediatric clinical studies sponsored by Tibotec Pharmaceuticals and continue to benefit from using it, in countries where DRV is not yet commercially available for the pediatric patient, is not reimbursed or cannot be accessed through another source (like access program or government program).
This trial is conducted in Asia, Europe, and North and South America. The aim of this clinical trial is to investigate the safety and efficacy of turoctocog alfa (recombinant factor VIII, rFVIII (N8)) in male previously treated paediatric subjects with haemophilia A.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of canagliflozin compared with sitagliptin in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who are receiving treatment with metformin and sulphonylurea and have inadequate glycemic (blood sugar) control.
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of pasireotide LAR 40 and 60 mg versus octreotide LAR or lanreotide ATG in patients with inadequately controlled acromegaly.
This protocol will serve as a pilot study to determine the validity and feasibility of contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) without and with contrast and/or ultrasound (US) for detection of catheter related deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in children
Despite the acknowledgment that physical activity is important for health, there are still few population-based or school-based studies that uses the current physical activity guidelines for adolescents. Physical inactivity was defined a less than 300 min/w of moderate to vigorous-intensity physical activity practice. Previous research has shown very high prevalence rates of physically inactive adolescents and a strong association with demographic, socioeconomic and biological factors. Based on this information, the investigators are elaborating a systematic review of literature to obtain and provide more accurate information in this context.
RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such as Hu3S193, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well Hu3S193 works as a consolidation therapy for women with relapsing platinum-sensitive ovarian, primary peritoneal or fallopian tube cancer.
