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 this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of association between tretinoin and clindamycin phosphate on the treatment of acne vulgaris mild and moderate.
Primary Objective: To compare, after 12 weeks of double-blind treatment, the evolution of the improvement of pain (at rest and during / after exercise) in the questionnaire WOMAC (Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index), achieved with Condroflex ® oral administration(sulfate glucosamine + chondroitin sulfate sodium) in association with therapeutic exercises, compared to placebo in association with therapeutic exercises in individuals with knee OA and not exposed to prior treatment with the products under investigation.
To evaluate the safety and tolerability of LY2127399 administered as subcutaneous injections for 48 weeks in participants with Rheumatoid Arthritis
The investigators report a case of a 39-year-old man who presented an anterior mediastinal cystic mature teratoma. Those kind of tumor contain elements derived from more than one of the three primary germ layers (ectoderm, mesoderm, endoderm), frequently arranged in a haphazard manner. They arise from totipotent cells and, therefore, are primarily found in gonads, and more rarely in primitive cells kidnapped in other parts of the body. The tissues are immature to well differentiated and foreign to the anatomic site. Mature teratomas are either cystic or solid, although the cystic presentation predominates in gonadal sites. Benign teratomas are the most common mediastinal germ cell tumor, accounting 70% of the mediastinal germ cell tumors in children and 60% of those in adults. Immature teratomas are potentially malignant tumors; their prognosis is influenced by the anatomic site of the tumor, patient age, and the fraction of the tumor that is immature. Treatment of benign mediastinal teratoma includes complete surgical resection, with results in a excellent long-term cure rates. Complete resection of teratomas should be the goal of treatment.
The purpose of this study is to assess the therapeutic efficacy and safety of Venocur Triplex®, administered BID for 60 days in patients with Chronic Venous Insufficiency rated between CEAP 2 and 4, in comparison to a Placebo group.
Bariatric surgery can lead to improvement or even resolution of type 2 diabetes in about 80% of patients submitted to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGP). Otherwise, many patients experienced no resolution of their diabetes despite massive surgical-induced weight loss. There appears to be a variable response to surgery depending on surgical and patient factors. To explore potential factors affecting diabetes outcomes after RYGP, this study is proposed to make a description of effects of surgical procedures on incretin, insulin production and sensitivity and a comparison between patients with or without remission of Type 2 Diabetes.
This first open-label study in a pediatric population was designed to evaluate aliskiren safety and pharmacokinetics after single and multiple dosing in 6-17 year old children with hypertension.
This study is the extension of the CLARINET study [NCT00396877 -EFC5314] in neonates or infants with cyanotic congenital heart disease palliated with a systemic-to-pulmonary artery shunt. The primary objective was to assess the safety up to 18 months of age of the extended use of Clopidogrel 0.2 mg/kg/day in patients for whom the shunt was still in place at one year of age. The secondary objective was to assess the efficacy on the occurrence of shunt thrombosis requiring intervention or any death.
The purpose of this study is to postpone the corneal transplantation in keratoconus and promote the stiffness of the cornea across the riboflavin-UVA corneal collagen crosslinking , and after, corneal ring surgery.
This is a phase I clinical study to evaluate feasibility, safety and kinetics of cellular therapy with autologous bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells (BMMC) in patients with liver cirrhosis due to virus C hepatitis. Another aim is to study liver tissue changes induced by the BMMC presence. All the patients have moderate liver disfunction and will be submitted to a liver biopsy before BMMC injection. The cells will be labeled with 99mTc and infused through a peripheral vein. Scintigraphy will be performed 24 hours after infusion. Patients will be submitted to frequent clinical, laboratorial and image evaluation during a one-year follow-up. A second liver biopsy will be done in the 3rd month after infusion to check histological, cellular and molecular evolutive changes.
