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.
Objectives: PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: To compare the in-stent late loss at 9 months of paclitaxel- and sirolimus- eluting stents with the late loss of bare metal control stents. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: Safety: To compare the occurrence of Major Adverse Cardiac Events (MACE) at 30 days, 9 months, 1 year, 3 years and 5 years among the paclitaxel, sirolimus and control study arms. To compare the occurrence de Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) within 5 years among the paclitaxel, sirolimus and control study arms. To compare the occurrence of in-stent thrombosis within 5 years among the paclitaxel, sirolimus and control study arms. Efficacy: To compare the rate of angiographic success among the study groups To compare the rate of procedural success among the study groups To compare the incidence of clinically driven target lesion revascularization at 9 months, 1 year, 3 years and 5 years among the paclitaxel, sirolimus and control study arms. To compare the incidence of clinically driven target vessel revascularization at 9 months, 1 year, 3 years and 5 years among the paclitaxel, sirolimus and control study arms. To compare the 1-year, 3-year and 5-year cost-effectiveness profile of the paclitaxel, sirolimus and control study arms. To compare the 9-month in-stent late loss of paclitaxel-eluting stents to the in-stent late loss of sirolimus-eluting stents To compare the 9-month in-segment late loss among the study groups To compare the 9-month in-stent and in-segment binary restenosis rate among the study groups To compare the IVUS percent neointimal obstruction among the study groups Study Design: In the present RANDOMIZED study, the paclitaxel-eluting stent Infinnium® and the sirolimus-eluting stent Supralimus® will be compared to a metallic stent with the same structure (Milennium Matrix®) but without drug elution for the treatment of de novo lesions in native coronaries. The study will be a multicenter clinical trial and will include patients for the treatment with one of the three study stents. In total, 275 patients will be enrolled, randomly allocated for the Infinnium®, Supralimus®, or Milennium Matrix® stents in a 2:2:1 proportion. Patients will be followed-up for 12 months after the index procedure. All patients will undergo a follow-up angiography at 9 months. A subgroup of 55 patients will be evaluated at 9 months with IVUS examination. Treatment: Patients will be treated, according to the randomization groups, with Infinnium®, Supralimus®, or Milennium Matrix® stents of 19 mm, 23 mm, or 29 mm and nominal diameters of 2.5, 3.0, and 3.5 mm.
The primary objective was to demonstrate the superiority of insulin glargine over sitagliptin in reducing Glycosylated Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) from baseline to the end of the treatment period. Secondary objective was to assess the effect of insulin glargine in comparison with sitagliptin on: - HbA1c level - Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) - 7-point plasma glucose (PG) profiles - Percentage of patients with HbA1c <7% and <6.5% Safety objectives consisted of: - Hypoglycemia occurrence - Body weight - Overall safety
The study will investigate the comparative efficacy and safety of two oral inhibitors of Kit and PDGFR: nilotinib 400 mg bid, a novel agent, and imatinib 400 mg bid, an approved agent with an established efficacy.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether creatine associated or not to exercise training can improve physical performance in patients with knee osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ofatumumab added to chlorambucil in patients with untreated Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (how the drug is absorbed in the body, how it is distributed within the body and removed from the body over time), pharmacodynamics (how the study medication affects the body) and safety of rabeprazole after single and multiple daily administration in infants between the ages of 1 and 11 months, inclusive, with Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD).
The purpose of this prospective randomized controlled trial was to compare intensive insulin therapy with a carbohydrate restrictive strategy in patients with acute ischemic stroke evaluating the outcome through the Glasgow Outcome Scale Extended, hospital mortality and NIHSS during the ICU stay.
The primary objective of the study was to explore whether mefloquine can delay or stop progression of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) as measured by JC virus (human polyomavirus or JCV) deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) levels in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The secondary objective of the study was to explore whether mefloquine can delay or stop progression of PML based on neurological deterioration, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measures of brain lesion evolution or the formation of new lesions, and mortality.
A cross-sectional study was performed on HIV-1 infected individuals with or without antiretroviral treatment. 73 HIV-1 infected individuals were divided into three groups: G1= 15 infected individuals with or without AIDS who never received ARV; G2= 27 patients on HAART, and plasma HIV-1 RNA viral load (VL) equal or greater than 50 copies/mL and G3= 31 patients on HAART with undetectable VL for at least the past 6 months and a fourth group G4= 20 individuals chosen between blood donors without any disease sign and with negative HIV serum tests (control group). Serum cytokine levels pg/mL (ELISA) and specific mRNA expression by RT-PCR were performed on all four groups for TNF-a, IL-2, INF-g, IL-4 and IL-10. All patients were submitted to VL determination and CD4+ and CD8+T lymphocyte counts. Results analysis showed a significant comparison between groups for both methods and association between them (>80% - r2>0.80) with only one exception, in the individuals of control group, for IL-2 by ELISA determination. The cytokine profile for both methods and three patient groups was mature Th-0. The behavior of IL-2 and INF-g must be emphasized with the consequent expression on dominant Th profile. Both methods showed low IL-2 and elevated mean INF-g values in the three patient groups.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether survival can be prolonged in patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer who receive dasatinib with docetaxel and prednisone.
