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.
This is a randomized, double-blind study of rilzabrutinib in participants with persistent or chronic ITP, with an average platelet count of <30,000/μL (and no single platelet count >35,000/μL) on two counts at least 5 days apart in the 14 days before treatment begins. Participants will receive rilzabrutinib or placebo 400mg twice daily. For each participant, the study will last up to 60 weeks from the start of the Screening Period to the End of Study (EOS) visit. This includes Screening (up to 4 weeks) through a 12 to 24-week Blinded Treatment Period followed by a 28-week Open-Label Period. Followed by a 4-week post dose follow-up. For adult participants, the maximum duration of the long-term extension (LTE) period will be 12 months from the date of the last adult participant to enter the LTE. For pediatric participants, the maximum duration of the LTE period will be 12 months from the date of the last pediatric participant to enter the LTE.
Background: Unilateral spastic cerebral palsy (CP) generates an impact on daily activities, mainly due to the functional limitation of the affected upper limb. The use of technologies such as Armeo spring robotic therapy seeks to improve upper limb mobility through innovative and motivating training that facilitates movement. Objective: To assess the effectiveness of Armeo spring robotic therapy versus conventional occupational therapy regarding the changes in upper limb functionality of children with unilateral spastic CP infiltrated simultaneously with botulinum toxin A (BTA). Patients and methods: Randomized clinical trial of parallel groups, in children between 4 and 10 years of age diagnosed with unilateral spastic CP and infiltrates with BTA, who received treatment of conventional occupational therapy (group I) or Armeo spring robotic therapy (group II). The intervention consists of 15 sessions of 40 minutes for 5 weeks, 3 times a week. An initial evaluation is applied with QUEST, ABILHAND-Kids, and MACS, which are re-evaluated at 3 and 6 months. Hypothesis: Armeo spring robotic therapy will obtain better results than conventional occupational therapy in relation to the functionality of the upper limb at the level of manipulative function, quality of movement of the limb and the performance of daily activities. Expected results: The results of the QUEST and ABILHAND-Kids dimensions assessed before, after and at follow-up will be the primary outcome. The presence of adverse effects will correspond to secondary outcome. Benefit and limitations: Direct social contribution for patient's rehabilitation by using technology and a contribution to research to update scientific evidence. Possible limitations could be presence of adverse effects and poor adherence to treatment.
In recent months severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has emerged as a novel human pathogen and, susceptibility amongst humans is presumed to be universal. Prevention measures of COVID-19 have included distancing, quarantines, use of facemasks in public places, and hand hygiene measures. Mandatory quarantines have also been applied on index cases and their contacts, as well as an active search for asymptomatic patients. Current strategies to reduce the spread of SARS-CoV-2 do not include measures that could prevent transmission prior to the onset of symptoms. Subjects infected with SARS-CoV-2 have been known to shed virus and be contagious for up to 5 days prior to developing symptoms ('pre-symptomatic transmission'). In fact, nearly 60% of all infected subjects can shed virus pre-symptomatically. Pre- or even asymptomatic shedding occurs across all age groups, contributing to the rapidly expanding pandemic. Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) using type 1 interferon (IFN) can potentially eliminate the spread of SARS-CoV-2. IFN could reduce the period of viral shedding by ~1 week. Since pre-symptomatic shedding of virus can start up to 5 days prior to symptom onset, our approach of a PEP intervention to all contacts recently exposed to a case could possibly entirely interrupt the spread of the virus, and with that, the pandemic. The current study focuses on prevention of the disease in addition to its treatment. Thus, the key distinction between these other trials and this study is that this study focuses on containing coronavirus (i.e. cause) in the community, rather than simply its treatment (i.e. consequence) in the individual. Viral spread could be eliminated through interventions effective at abolishing viral transmission. However, such post-exposure prophylaxis interventions, that is initiation of antiviral therapy in pre-infectious contacts to reduce or even eliminate such spread, must be safe since they are given to asymptomatic and possibly uninfected subjects. In none of the previous clinical trials of IFN therapy for SARS-CoV-2 have serious adverse events been recorded. Furthermore, the IFN chosen for this study (pegylated IFN 1b) has been extensively studied in clinical trials, and has been in clinical use for years for multiple sclerosis. Pegylated IFN formulations allow for weekly injections while maintaining serum levels and limiting dose-dependent side effects. Together these data support a sound safety profile for the planned intervention. The aim of this study is to ascertain whether IFN administered to index cases and household contacts of an index case, starting immediately following confirmed exposure (index case confirmed positive for SARS-CoV-2), will reduce duration of SARS-CoV-2 detectable by PCR in the index cases, and incidence of SARS-CoV-2 detectable by PCR in household contacts.
This study aim is to assess the prevalence of SARS-COV-2 in unselected pregnant women on labour (or a predictable delivery during next 24 hours), their outcome and sociodemographic conditions.
Primary Objective: The primary objective of the study is to characterize patients initiating DUPIXENT for asthma in a real-world setting, with respect to their medical history, including asthma history and asthma treatment history, socio-demographic, biomarkers (including Fractional exhaled nitric oxide [FeNO]), and concomitant treatments for asthma. Secondary Objectives: The secondary objectives of the study are: - To characterize real-world use patterns of DUPIXENT for asthma (eg, most commonly used regimens, reason for initiation of new asthma treatments, concomitant therapies, treatment durations, and reasons for discontinuation and/or switching) - To assess the effectiveness of DUPIXENT in asthma patients in a real world setting (lung function improvement, exacerbation rate, asthma control) - To assess comorbid type 2 conditions (atopic/allergic) and patterns of use and effects of treatment in comorbid conditions in asthma patients treated with Dupixent - To collect data on HealthCare Resource Utilization (HCRU) - To collect safety data on study participants in the real-world setting.
The purpose of the study is to determine if Liquid Alpha1-Proteinase Inhibitor (Human) (Liquid Alpha1-PI) plus SMT can reduce the proportion of participants dying or requiring intensive care unit (ICU) admission on or before Day 29 or who are dependent on high flow oxygen devices or invasive mechanical ventilation on Day 29 versus placebo plus SMT in hospitalized participants with COVID-19.
A study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of fenebrutinib on disability progression in adult participants with Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis (PPMS). All eligible participants will be randomized 1:1 to either daily oral fenebrutinib (and placebo) or intravenous (IV) ocrelizumab (and placebo) in a blinded fashion through an interactive voice or web-based response system (IxRS). Approximately 946 participants will be enrolled and will be recruited globally. Participants who discontinue study medication early or discontinue from the study will not be replaced. The Open-Label Extension (OLE) phase is contingent on a positive benefit-risk result in the Primary Analysis of the study.
