There are about 2320 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Chile. 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.
Participants suffering from active rheumatoid arthritis despite continued treatment with methotrexate were evaluated for improvement of disease activity (efficacy) when taking GLPG0634 (3 different doses - 50 milligram [mg], 100 mg and 200 mg daily -, each evaluated as once daily [QD] and twice daily [BID] regimen) or matching placebo for 24 weeks. •During the course of the study, patients were also examined for any side effects that could occur (safety and tolerability), and the amount of GLPG0634 present in the blood (Pharmacokinetics) as well as the effects of GLPG0634 on disease- and mechanism of action-related parameters in the blood (Pharmacodynamics) were determined. Also, the effects of different doses and dose regiments of GLPG0634 administration on participants' disability, fatigue, and quality of life were evaluated.
Umeclidinium/vilanterol (UMEC/VI) is a combination product under development that is used for the treatment of airflow obstruction in patients with COPD. Fluticasone propionate/salmeterol (FSC) is an approved drug that is already in use for the treatment of COPD. This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, parallel group study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of UMEC/VI 62.5/25 microgram [mcg] once daily administered via Novel Dry Powder Inhaler (NDPI) compared with fluticasone propionate /salmeterol (FSC) 250/50 mcg twice-daily when administered via ACCUHALER/DISKUS inhaler over a treatment period of 12 weeks in subjects with COPD. Eligible subjects will be equally randomized to UMEC/VI 62.5/25 mcg or FSC 250/50 mcg for 12 weeks. A safety follow-up assessment will be conducted approximately 7 days after the end of the study treatment.
The Extended Access Program (EAP) is a managed access programme for Perampanel. The main objective of this EAP is to ensure that patients participating in studies E2007-A001-207, E2007-G000-307, or E2007-G000-235 continue to have access to perampanel until such time perampanel tablets become commercially available for the treatment of Partial Onset Seizures (POS) in the country in which they reside. This EAP will consist of 2 phases: - Screening: The patient will start the program once the Screening assessments are completed and the patient is qualified for participation. - Treatment: Additional assessments, physical examinations, and dosage changes will be clinically determined by the treating physician. Patients will enter this program on the same dose of perampanel that they were receiving at the end of their participation in previous study. Doses of perampanel and of concomitant anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs) can be adjusted (i.e., added,removed, or changed in dose) based on clinical judgment. Treatment will be prescribed as long as clinically appropriate according to the judgement of the treating physician and the approved Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC). The program will complete in a staggered fashion, country by country, as and when perampanel becomes commercially available for the treatment of POS in each country.
The purpose of the study was to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of intravenous infusion of serelaxin, when added to standard therapy, in acute heart failure (AHF) patients.
Joint research (quantitative and qualitative methodology) with quasi-experimental design, before-after without control group to evaluate the pilot implementation of Positive Parenting Program (Triple P) in the context of primary health care in Chile. The hypothesis is that the program is feasible and acceptable to the Chilean population.
The purpose of this international, multicenter study is to determine ventilation practice and outcomes of intubated and ventilated intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Ventilation characteristics and outcomes will be compared between patients without the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), patients at risk for ARDS, and patients with mild, moderate or severe ARDS. Participating centres worldwide will include adult patients undergoing mechanical ventilation in the ICU during a 7-day period. Patients data will be collected during the first 7 days in the ICU, or until ICU discharge. Follow up is until day 90. Primary endpoint is the tidal volume size used during mechanical ventilation. Secondary endpoints are development of ARDS in patients without ARDS at the onset of mechanical ventilation, worsening of ARDS in patients with ARDS at the onset of mechanical ventilation, pulmonary infection, other pulmonary complications, need for tracheostomy, extra-pulmonary complications, duration of ventilation, length of ICU and hospital stay, and ICU, hospital and 90-day mortality.
This randomized, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of lebrikizumab in participants with asthma whose disease remains uncontrolled despite daily treatment with inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) therapy and at least one second controller medication. Participants will be randomized in 1:1:1 ratio to receive double-blind treatment with either lebrikizumab ("high" or "low") or placebo, administered subcutaneously (SC) every 4 weeks for 52 weeks, in addition to their standard-of-care therapy. This will be followed by a 52-week double-blind active treatment extension. During double-blind active treatment extension period, all participants will receive SC injection of lebrikizumab from Week 53 to Week 104. The anticipated time on study treatment is 104 weeks. After study treatment, all participants will complete a 20-week safety follow-up.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of Cabozantinib (XL184) compared with Everolimus (Afinitor) on progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in subjects with advanced renal cell cancer that has progressed after prior VEGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy.
Background: Most adolescents suffering depression are treated in primary care clinics. Cognitive-behavior therapy (CBT) is effective in the treatment of adolescent depression. The availability of appropriately trained CBT therapist may be limited, especially in primary care clinics. One way to increase the availability of CBT is to use computer-assisted CBT (c-CBT). It can be effective in the treatment of adults, although the outcomes in adolescents remain unclear. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine whether a computer-assisted cognitive-behavioral therapy is effective for the treatment of depression in adolescents between 15 and 19 years of age in 4 primary care clinics in Santiago, Chile. Study design: A two-arm single-blind (outcomes assessor) randomized controlled trial will be carried out with 216 adolescents. The efficacy, the adherence, and acceptability of the computerized-assisted cognitive behavioral therapy will be evaluated.
The purpose of this study is to compare subcutaneous Abatacept to placebo in the treatment of psoriatic arthritis
