This 3 arm study will compare the efficacy and safety of three different dermatological creams designed for prophylaxis of skin rash associated with Tarceva treatment in patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer. Eligible patients who have recently started Tarceva treatment will be randomized to one of 3 groups, to receive daily treatment with Verutex, Eritex or Fisiogel cream for 30 days, and the incidence and severity of skin rash will be assessed. The anticipated time on study treatment is <3 months, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.
This study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of nilotinib after failure of imatinib therapy or imatinib therapy after nilotinib failure.
The objective of this study is evaluating the clinical activity of the association (tretinoin + arbutin + triamcinolone) in the treatment of epidermal melasma.
This 3-arm study will assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of taspoglutide compared with exenatide in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus inadequately controlled with metformin, thiazolidinedione or a combination of both. Patients will be randomized to receive taspoglutide (10mg once weekly or 10mg once weekly for 4 weeks followed by 20mg once weekly) or exenatide (5 micrograms twice daily for 4 weeks followed by 10 micrograms twice daily) in a ratio of 1:1:1 in addition to continued prestudy metformin and thiazolidinedione either alone or in combination. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3+ years, and the target sample size is >500 individuals.
The investigators objective is to describe functional endoscopic evaluation of swallowing findings in children with cerebral palsy.
This study is designed to determine the clinical efficacy and toxicity of ABT-869 in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel in the treatment of subjects with advanced or metastatic NSCLC.
The purpose of this academic lead study is to determine if a treatment strategy of early intensive blood pressure (BP) lowering compared to conservative BP lowering policy in patients with elevated blood pressure within 6 hours of acute intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) improves the outcome of death and disability at 3 months after onset.
All eligible patients will be invited to use electronic monitoring of medication (MEMS) during the next six months. After two months with MEMS the enrolled patients will be randomized to intervention group or to control group. The intervention group will be submitted to four social-psycho sessions with a pre-trained health professional. The control group will receive the usual care of the health service. The study will compare the rate of adherence to antiretroviral therapy between the intervention group and the control group. The duration of the study will be of six months. The analysis will be based on "intention-to-treat.
The Psoriasis and a chronic dermatosis characterized by abnormal proliferation of cells epithelial, vessel dilation and inflammation locally, which presents erythematous-scaly lesions in various areas of the body, preferably in the scalp, region and religious joints as elbows and knees. It occurs equally in both sexes and can appear at any age, and the mean age for the onset of the disease and around 27.3 years. The halobetasol propionate and an ultra-potent corticoid. Its chemical structure and similar to the Clobetasol corticoid this, until then classified as the most potent corticoid used worldwide in clinical practice. However, the molecular structure of Halobetasol gives it increased its activity antiinflammatory and anti-proliferative. The objective of this study is evaluating the efficacy and tolerability of the drug Halobetasol propionate cream formulation as a treatment in patients with plaque psoriasis mild to moderate, compared to the substance of similar power, Clobetasol propionate - Psorex - Cream.
