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.
Study TKT024EXT was a long-term, single-arm, open-label extension of Study TKT024, a one year Phase 2/Phase 3 registration study. The primary objective of this extension study was to collect long-term safety and clinical outcome data in Mucopolysaccharidosis II (MPS II), also known as Hunter Syndrome, from the Phase 2/Phase 3 Study TKT024. All patients enrolling into this study received weekly active treatment with idursulfase, the primary dosing regimen investigated in Study TKT024. Hunter Syndrome is an X-linked recessive lysosomal storage disease caused by a deficiency of iduronate-2-sulfatase, an enzyme required to catabolize glycosaminoglycans (GAGS) in cells. As a result, GAGs accumulate in the lysosomes leading to cellular engorgement, organomegaly, tissue destruction, and organ system dysfunction. Hunter Syndrome is a rare disease with an estimated incidence of 1 in 162,000 live births.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate and determinate the functional abilities in Rett syndrome conforming to the established Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory (PEDI).
This is a clinical trial examining the vascular disrupting agent NPI-2358 combined with docetaxel in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis) is an important component of tumor growth, vascular disrupting agents are intended to target the differences between these tumor blood vessels and the blood vessels in normal tissues.
This study assesses the effectiveness of a nutrition advice programme - The ten steps for healthy feeding of children under two years old - on nutritional status, diet, and morbidity history of children. This is a randomized controlled trial in mostly socioeconomic deprived families (intervention=200; controls=300). Mothers of the intervention group received dietary counseling in the first year of life. Both groups received routine care by their paediatricians and research assessment at 6 and 12 months, 4 years, 8 years and 12 years of age.
THAOS is a global, multi-center, longitudinal observational survey open to all patients with transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR), including ATTR-PN (polyneuropathy), ATTR-CM (cardiomyopathy) and wild-type ATTR-CM. It is open-ended with a minimum duration of 10 years. Patients will be followed as long as they are able to participate. The principal aims of this outcome survey are to better understand and characterize the natural history of the disease by studying a large and heterogenous patient population. Survey data may be used to develop new treatment guidelines and recommendations, and to inform and educate clinicians about the management of this disease.
Our hypothesis is that with comparison of effectiveness of two most common techniques of treatment for myofascial pain syndrome (injection of local anesthesia and ischemic compression) we could choice the most adequate to treat this disease. This way we could decrease the expenses with medicines, examinations, consultations and the time that women remains without a diagnosis and treatment.
Caffeine intake is reported by many authors to enhance the perception of tinnitus. The aim of this study is to determine the effects of 1 month caffeine intake reduction in the scores of validated questionnaire Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI) and in a visual-analog scale (VAS).
The aim of the present study was to examine, for pain relief during labor, the efficacy of two pharmacological approaches — the 0.125% ropivacaine alone and the 0.0625% ropivacaine added to 75 ug clonidine, both by epidural administration. The effect of the drugs on mother and newborn was also determined.
Enthuse M0 is a large phase III clinical trial studying the efficacy of ZD4054 (Zibotentan) in hormone resistant prostate cancer (HRPC). This clinical trial will test if the Endothelin A Receptor Antagonist ZD4054 (Zibotentan) can improve progression-free survival and overall survival against a background of existing prostate cancer treatments. ZD4054 (Zibotentan) is a new type of agent, which is thought to slow tumour growth and spread by blocking Endothelin receptor activity. This trial will look at the effects of ZD4054 (Zibotentan) in hormone resistant prostate cancer (HRPC) patients who have had rising PSA after surgical or medical castration but have no evidence of metastases. All patients participating in this clinical trial will receive existing prostate cancer treatments in addition to trial therapy. Half the patients will receive ZD4054 (Zibotentan) , and half the patients will receive placebo in addition to standard prostate cancer therapy. By participating in this trial there is a 50% chance that patients will receive an agent that may slow the progression of the tumour. No patients will be deprived of standard prostate cancer therapy.
The trial will determine the value of adding bevacizumab to chemotherapy plus trastuzumab in patients with resected node-positive or high risk node-negative, HER2-positive breast cancer.
