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.
This single arm study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of sequential treatment with Diavobet (betamethasone propionate 0.5mg/g plus calcipotriol hydrate 50 micrograms/g) once daily for 4 weeks followed by Daivonex (calcipotriol hydrate 50 micrograms/g) twice daily for 4 weeks, in the control of signs and symptoms in patients with mild to moderate psoriasis. Only patients showing a >50% response to Daivobet will progress to the Daivonex maintenance phase. The anticipated time on study treatment is <3 months, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.

This 4 arm study will compare the efficacy and safety of PEGASYS given for 24 or 48 weeks, and at doses of 90 or 180 micrograms weekly, in the treatment of HBeAg positive patients with chronic hepatitis B. Patients will be randomized to one of 4 treatment groups: a)PEGASYS 90 micrograms subcutaneous (sc) weekly for 24 weeks, b)PEGASYS 180 micrograms sc weekly for 24 weeks, c)PEGASYS 90 micrograms sc weekly for 48 weeks or d)PEGASYS 180 micrograms sc weekly for 48 weeks. Following treatment there will be a 24 week period of treatment-free follow-up in all treatment groups for the primary endpoint. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months, and the target sample size is 500+ individuals.
Context: Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is associated with cardiovascular morbidity. Recurrent episodes of occlusion of upper airways during sleep result in hormonal changes that may predispose to high cardiovascular risk.These risks can rapidly be reduced by effective nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) therapy Objective: To evaluate hypothalamic pituitary adrenal axis, insulin resistance, blood pressure values and adipokines in severe obese patients with and without OSAS and to determine if continuous positive airway pressure therapy (nCPAP) influenced responses.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of three doses of valsartan (0.25, 1.0, and 4.0 mg/kg) on mean sitting systolic blood pressure (MSSBP) and mean sitting diastolic blood pressure (MSDBP) in 6 months - 5 year old children with hypertension (sitting systolic blood pressure [SSBP] ≥ 95th percentile ).
This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of two different doses of Pasireotide in patients with de novo or recurrent/persistent Cushing's Disease.

The purpose of this study is to observe the way two different anti-HIV treatment strategies affect nerve and brain function in adults with HIV.
This 2 arm study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of oral Valcyte compared with intravenous ganciclovir for the treatment of CMV disease in solid organ transplant recipients. Eligible patients will be randomized to receive either 1)Valcyte 900mg po bid or 2)ganciclovir 5mg/kg iv bid. The anticipated time on study treatment is 1-2 years and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.
