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.
Panobinostat (LBH589) is a highly potent pan-deacetylase inhibitor (pan-DACi), inclusive of HDAC6, which disrupts aggresome function, promotes accumulation of cytotoxic misfolded protein aggregates and triggers myeloma cell death. Combination of pan-DAC and protease inhibition by co-treatment with panobinostat (PAN) and bortezomib (BTZ) has demonstrated synergistic cytotoxicity in vitro and in vivo in pre-clinical experiments. Furthermore, clinical experience in advanced multiple myeloma (MM) patients treated by oral panobinostat and i.v bortezomib ± dexamethasone showed very encouraging results for efficacy and manageable toxicity profile. Given the medical need for improved treatment strategies for patients with previously treated and relapsed MM, the purpose of this prospective, multinational, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group Phase III study is to compare the results in progression-free survival of 2 combination therapies, panobinostat with bortezomib and dexamethasone or placebo with bortezomib and dexamethasone, in patients with previously treated MM whose disease has recurred or progressed.
Adherence to obesity treatment programs has been a limiting factor to good results in loosing weight. This study aimed to verify if obese subjects submitted to a physical exercise program and group psychotherapy would have a greater adherence, than obese people exercising only.
- Describe blood pressure changes on patients with OSA treated with lateral pharyngoplasty - Compare the mean of systolic and diastolic blood pressure in 24 hours, average systolic and diastolic pressure during daytime and night and changes in the nocturnal decrease.
To assess the efficacy of the study product Noex in the treatment of allergic rhinitis by means of the Nasal Index Score (NIS) after 4 weeks of treatment with the drug.
1. LOCATION OF STUDY: Multicentric study in Brazil. 2. PURPOSE OF THE STUDY: To measure changes in HOMA index when non-diabetic patients in APD were exposed to 7,5% Icodextrin for the long-dwell; and to compare such changes with those produced by 2,5% glucose for the long-dwell. 3. PRIMARY OUTCOME: The primary efficacy outcome was to measure HOMA index to set the differences with regard to baseline values of this variable for the two groups as well as in each group, which showed control of the glucose metabolism. STAGE OF THE STUDY : Phase IV postmarket study DESIGN: Randomized, open-label, multicenter study. Patients were randomized to receive either to Extraneal (7,5% Icodextrin) or 2.5% Dianeal during the long-dwell. SAMPLE SIZE: Randomization Upon completion of the study TOTAL: 120 60 ExtranealTM 60 30 Dianeal® 60 30 Duration: 1 year.
Blood transfusion is related to worse outcomes and the triggers for red blood cells transfusion are not well defined in cardiac surgery. Retrospective studies in cardiac surgery do not show benefits of red blood cell transfusion in reduction of morbidity and mortality in cardiac surgery. There are no prospective studies comparing outcomes between restrictive or liberal strategy in cardiac surgery.This study is a double-blind randomized study comparing clinical outcomes between two strategies of transfusion in cardiac surgery - liberal or restrictive.
Impaired glucose tolerance is associated with an increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease and atherosclerosis for reasons not yet totally understood. Previous studies evaluated the kinetics of plasma LDL and a faster removal rate of free cholesterol in normolipidemic patients with diagnosed arterial coronary disease and deposits of this cholesterol on the blood vessel walls. This disassociation of the cholesterol may suggest a new mechanism for not only the genesis but for the progression of arterial coronary disease. The objective of this research was to study the plasma kinetics of free cholesterol and cholesterol ester in impaired glucose tolerance patient, asymptomatic for coronary artery disease (CAD), to elucidate mechanisms involved in atherogenesis in these patients.
