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.
The purpose of the study is to determine if pyridostigmine bromide improves heart rate variability of type 2 diabetes mellitus subjects with cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy.
The objective of this research is to verify the language of children with Down syndrome concerning lexical, syntactic and semantic aspects using MLU. The hypothesis is that children with Down syndrome will present low performance, regarding not only the quantitative measures as MLU-m, MLU-w, GM-1 and GM-2, but also regarding the qualitative aspects of their production, when compared to children with typical development.
This trial is conducted in Asia, Europe, Japan and North America. The aim of this clinical trial is to investigate the safety and the efficacy of a prophylactic treatment option with long acting coagulation factor VII (LA-rFVIIa) for haemophilia patients with inhibitors.
The hypothesis of this study was that gastric bypass (GBP) ameliorates gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in morbidly obese patients.
The purpose of this study is to compare oxidative stress markers and the immunologic characteristics of HIV-infected and non-HIV subjects during a bout of moderate aerobic exercise followed by resistance exercises
In this open-label multicenter trial, participants with operable or locally advanced breast cancer will be randomized to pre-operative treatment with 8 cycles of chemotherapy (4 cycles of docetaxel followed by 4 cycles of 5-fluorouracil, epirubicin, and cyclophosphamide) concurrent with either SC Herceptin or IV Herceptin. After surgery, participants will receive a further 10 cycles of SC or IV Herceptin as per randomization to complete 1 year of treatment. All cycles will be 21 days in length. After the end of study treatment, participants will be followed for safety and efficacy for up to 5 years or until disease recurrence, whichever is earlier.
This study will provide treatment with erlotinib to participants with advanced NSCLC who have received at least one course of standard chemotherapy or radiation therapy, or who are not medically suitable for either. Efficacy and safety will be monitored throughout the study.
Chloral Hydrate (CH) is a well known drug for sedative and hypnotic purposes used in pediatric and dental procedures owing to the low depressive effect it has over respiratory and cardiac systems. Despite that, the literature reports cases of heart arrhythmia and sudden death in children, especially when using high doses, probably due to accumulation of serum trichloroethanol, an intermediate metabolite resulting from the liver metabolism of the drug. A possible carcinogenic action observed in guinea pigs has also been reported, even though it has not been confirmed in human beings. Among the least severe complications there are paradoxical agitation, nausea, vomiting and excessive sleepiness. CH is the drug of choice to sedate children undergoing Auditory Brainstem Response test (ABR), in which any movement or muscle contraction may generate artifacts that interfere in the analysis. Profound sleep that lasts on average one hour is rapidly induced depending on the used dose, causing no residual sleepiness after this period; however, there is consensus in the literature about the best dose, which may range from 40 to 100 mg/kg. Objective: To assess the efficacy of CH as a sedative agent in performing ABR in children and to systematize its use.
To evaluate the recurrence and postoperative complications rates after conjunctival autograft surgery using fibrin adhesive for primary pterygium
This randomised, open label phase III trial will be performed in patients with adenocarcinoma of the lung with tumours harbouring an Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor activating mutation. The objectives of the trial are to compare the efficacy of single agent BIBW 2992, Arm A, with Pemetrexed/Cisplatin chemotherapy, Arm B, as first line treatment for this group of patients.
