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.
The purpose of this study is to show Rotigotine dose response at four doses of Rotigotine used with L-dopa in treating advanced stage Parkinson's disease.
Primary objective was to demonstrate overall survival improvement with aflibercept compared to placebo in patients receiving docetaxel / prednisone for metastatic androgen-independent prostate cancer (MAIPC). The secondary objectives were: - To assess the efficacy of aflibercept compared to placebo on other parameters such prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level, cancer related pain, progression free survival (PFS), tumor-based and skeletal events and health-related quality of life (HRQL); - To assess the overall safety in both treatment arms; - To determine the pharmacokinetics of intravenous (IV) aflibercept in this population; - to determine immunogenicity of IV aflibercept.
A randomized clinical trial was carried out at primary care level in Santiago, Chile to compare a pharmacological intervention for depressed mothers controlled by phone from a central level (TM) and the usual treatment (TH) and its impact on children's mental health. Hypothesis: pharmacological intervention for depression controlled by phone from a central level will be more effective than usual care in depressed mothers.
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a diffuse lung disease, associated with the histological appearance of usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP), with an inexorably deteriorating clinical course. Prognosis is poor, reported median survival is less than 3 years. The prevalence is estimated as being 3 to 10 per 100.000 in different Western populations. To date, no pharmacological therapy has been proven to alter or reverse the pathogenic process of IPF. Most treatments trials have been observational case series of small patient populations and very few have been randomized, prospective and placebo-controlled. Two recent Cochrane reviews investigated the role of corticosteroids and other immunomodulatory agents and concluded that there is no evidence for their use in IPF. Most current therapies are targeted to suppress the inflammatory component of the disease, based on the theory that it would be chronic alveolar inflammation which leads to parenchymal remodeling and fibrosis. Recently, a hypothesis that has gained acceptance suggests that fibrosis may result directly from alveolar injury, promoting an abnormal fibrogenic repair mediated by fibroblasts and myofibroblasts. One of the cytotoxic agents most widely used and better tolerated in the management of IPF is azathioprine. Based upon limited data available and from a single small high quality randomized controlled trial (RCT), this drug appears to confer, given in conjunction with prednisone, a marginal long term survival advantage. Since this combination therapy is associated serious adverse effect, we planned to design a trial of low dose corticosteroid and azathioprine versus placebo in management of IPF, evaluating progression-free survival. Our study hypothesis is: Combined therapy with azathioprine and corticosteroids improves progression-free survival in patients with the diagnosis of IPF.
This study is a placebo-controlled study in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus who are either taking no diabetes medication or who are taking metformin only. This study will investigate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of Albiglutide (GSK716155) and will measure the levels of Albiglutide (GSK716155) in the bloodstream when it is given for 16 weeks. As a comparison, some subjects will receive exenatide instead of Albiglutide (GSK716155). The study will involve weekly visits for 17 weeks,and less frequent follow-up visits for an additional 10 weeks. Assessments include repeat blood sampling and monitoring of any side effects.
This single arm study will assess the efficacy and safety of Mircera when administered once monthly, subcutaneously or intravenously, for the maintenance of hemoglobin levels in dialysis patients with chronic renal anemia. Patients currently receiving maintenance treatment with epoetin alfa will receive monthly injections of Mircera with a starting dose (120, 200 or 360 micrograms) derived from the dose of epoetin alfa they were receiving in the week preceding study start. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.
The general purpose of this trial is to investigate the efficacy and safety of 4 dose strategies of BIBF 1120 treatment for 12 months, compared to placebo in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate whether at least one dose strategy is superior to placebo in patients with IPF, in modifying the rate of decline of Forced Vital Capacity (FVC). As a secondary objective, additional parameters will be assessed in order to differentiate between dose strategies on the basis of safety and efficacy
This is a booster study in 2 groups of healthy children less than 3 years old to measure the reactogenicity, safety and immunogenicity of GSK Biologicals' pneumococcal conjugate vaccine, when given as a booster or as a two-dose catch-up vaccination. This protocol posting deals with objectives and outcome measures of the booster phase. The objectives and outcome measures of the primary phase are presented in a separate protocol posting (NCT number = NCT00338351).
The purpose of the study is to determine if the antibiotic ceftaroline is safe and effective in the treatment of community-acquired pneumonia in adults.
The purpose of this study is to further evaluate the safety of infliximab, ustekinumab, and guselkumab in patients with plaque and other forms of psoriasis. The study also includes patients receiving other therapies, such as non-biologic and other biologic agents. The registry also evaluates patient and disease characteristics, including patient-reported assessment of psoriatic arthritis (PsA); and clinical and quality of life outcomes.
