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 open-label extension study will permit patients with Systemic Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (SJIA) who previously were responsive to treatment with canakinumab and canakinumab treatment-naïve patients with active SJIA with and without fever to be retreated with 4 mg/kg s.c. every 4 weeks and assessed for continued efficacy and safety until discontinuation or when study CACZ885G2402 is in place at their study center or around March 2013, whichever occurs first. Patients who are steroid-free will be able to taper their canakinumab dose to 2 mg/kg s.c. every 4 weeks.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of AZD6244 in combination with docetaxel versus docetaxel alone in patients with KRAS mutation positive locally advanced or metastatic non small cell lung cancer.
Parkinson's disease (PD) causes motor and non-motor impairments that affect the quality of life of the subjects. The purpose was to assess the effects of treadmill walking training with additional body load on the quality of life and motor symptoms of the subjects with PD. Methods: Nine subjects with PD, Hoehn and Yahr stages 2 through 3, not demented and with capability to ambulate independently voluntarily participate in this study. The training program was divided into three phases (A1-B-A2): treadmill training with additional body load (A1), control condition (conventional physical therapy group) (B) and treadmill training with load again (A2). Each phase lasted six weeks. The quality of life and motor symptoms were assessed by PDQ-39 and UPDRS, respectively. Both evaluations and training were performed during on-phase of the medication cycle.
This two-part study assessed the sustained efficacy of canakinumab in the double-blind Part II and the ability to taper steroids in the open label Part I.
This study intends to observe the epidemiology of pregnancy and growth of adolescent mothers and their child in their first year on the development and growth ambulatory at Brasilia University Hospital (HUB). The study hypothesis is that adolescent growth is disturbed by a pregnancy in this age. Another hypothesis is that their child's growth and development could be obstructed.
The purpose of this study is to determine the Efficacy, Tolerability & Safety of Combination of Clindamycin 100mg and Ketoconazole 400mg in Vaginal Capsules, used for 7 consecutive days in patients with Mixed-Type Vaginosis compared to Combination of Tetracycline 100mg and Amphotericin B 50mg in Vaginal Cream.
The aim of this multicenter randomized controlled clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of an alternative treatment for deep caries lesions in Public Health Services. The alternative treatment consists of partial removal of carious dentine followed by restoration. The subjects were assigned to test or control groups: test - carious dentine partial removal and restoration in one session, and control - stepwise excavation. The stepwise excavation consists of partial removal of carious tissue from the cavity floor, indirect pulp capping with calcium hydroxide cement; temporary filling; cavity re-opening after 60 days, removal of the remaining soft carious tissue and filling. Each group was divided according to the filling material: amalgam or resin. The radiological exams are being performed before and after the treatment and then annually. Clinical evaluation of the restorations is performed right after the treatment and then annually (modified USPHS System). All evaluations are performed by calibrated and trained dentists.
The purpose of this study is to report outcomes of deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) using the big-bubble technique.
The study will assess the effects of 36 weeks of treatment with LCZ696 compared to valsartan on N-terminal pro-Brain Natriuretic Peptide (NT-proBNP) in patients with chronic heart failure and preserved left-ventricular ejection fraction.
Many studies were already performed showing beneficial cardiovascular and metabolic effects of physical training for type 2 diabetic patients. However, glucose profile during and immediately after a short period of aerobic and/or resistance training was not studied yet. Continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS) has now been added to the repertoire of technological devices useful in the management of patients with diabetes. Such monitoring enables clinicians to detect occult hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia not otherwise discernable with intermittent testing of blood glucose. The main aim of the present study is to investigate continuous blood glucose profile (using CGMS) over 72h, beginning 24h before and ending 24h after a single bout of aerobic or aerobic/resistance physical training in type 2 diabetic patients.
