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.
Skin ulcers can be defined as open injuries, loss of substances with the skin or mucous tissue, caused by disintegration and tissue necrosis. Chronic skin ulcer is any injury that heal in a period not less than 6 weeks. Several etiological causes for the emergence of skin ulcers. Around 73% are venous, arterial are 8%, 3% are diabetic, 2% are traumatic and 14% are from other causes. Clinical studies show that collagenase is an effective drug and presents high tolerabildade in the treatment of ulcerative burns and injuries of various etiologies. Evidence show statistically significant reduction of inflammation, the formation of granulation tissue, decrease in injuries and reepitelization.
A clinical and histological randomized controlled phase II trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of oral isotretinoin for treating photoaging was performed with 32 menopausal or sterilized women aged 40-55y. The subjects were included in two randomly selected groups: A- 21 women received 20mg oral isotretinoin 3x week, moisturizer, sunscreen SPF 60 during three months; B- 11 women received only same moisturizer/sunscreen.
Burns are injuries caused by agents thermal, chemical, electrical or radioactive who act in the tissue lining of the human body and may partially or totally destroy the skin and its annexes, to the deeper layers, as subcutaneous tissue, muscles, tendons and bones . Studies show that topical heparin has, in addition to the already known anticoagulant activity, anti-inflammatory properties, analgesic, and neoangiogenic, stimulating blood flow and increasing the repair of the fabric as well as the restoration of collagen and reepiteliztion. Moreover, the use of heparin reduces the need for painful medical procedures, as debridations, surgeries and transplants The intention of this work is to verify the effectiveness and safety of sodium heparin in the treatment of burns of the skin.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether 2 alternative dosing regimens of Fabrazyme (agalsidase beta) (1.0 mg/kg every 4 weeks or 0.5 mg/kg every 2 weeks) are effective in treatment-naïve pediatric patients without severe symptoms. Patients will be treated for 5 years.
The purpose of the study is to assess the efficacy of an extended injection interval schedule of lanreotide Autogel 120 mg in acromegalic subjects who are biochemically controlled on long term treatment with octreotide LAR 10 or 20 mg
Iron deficiency anemia is the most common nutritional problem in the world. The objectives of this study are: - to evaluate the prevalence of anemia in children from 6 to 24 months of age and the therapeutic and prophylactic response to ferrous sulfate plus folic acid on hemoglobin levels. - to compare the effect of folic acid supplementation with ferrous sulfate on the linear and weight growth of anemic and non-anemic Study hypothesis: - The ferrous sulfate plus folic acid can improve the response on hemoglobin levels. - The folic acid supplementation with ferrous sulfate have effect on the linear and weight growth of anemic and non-anemic.
The objective of this study is to demonstrate that TI® Inhalation Powder combined with Lantus® is as effective as Humalog® combined with Lantus® on HbA1c.
The purpose of this study is to know the efficacy of the treatment with probiotics, Lactobacillus casei and Bifidobacterium breve, on clinical evidences and occurence of relapses on antibiotic-associated diarrhea.
This single arm study will investigate the predictive value of a week 4 virological response on sustained virological response in patients with chronic hepatitis C, genotype 2 or 3, treated with PEGASYS + Copegus. Eligible patients will be treated with PEGASYS 180 micrograms/week sc + Copegus 800mg/day po; those who have a virological response at week 4 will continue to be treated for 24 weeks, followed by a 24 week treatment-free follow-up. Non-responders at week 4 will be entered into a separate protocol (MV21371) to receive PEGASYS + Copegus for 24 or 48 weeks. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months, and the target sample size is 100 individuals.
This study will evaluate the relative efficacy and safety of prasugrel and clopidogrel in a medically managed Unstable Angina/Non-ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (UA/NSTEMI) acute coronary syndrome (ACS) population (that is, patients who are not managed with acute coronary revascularization).
