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.
Randomized, double blind, controlled clinical trial, to evaluate safety and efficacy of L. reuteri DSM 17938 and L. reuteri ATCC PTA 6475 as adjuvant to reduce the severity of symptoms in adults with moderate to severe irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Primary outcome: Global clinical Improve assessed by the GSRS-IBS score. Adults 18-65 years, any gender, with ROME IV criteria for moderate to severe IBS and body max index <36 will be included. Prescreening will be run for 2 weeks, the intervention period will be 2/days for 14t weeks, follow by a 2 weeks period of observation with no intervention. Secondary outcomes include: a) Improvements in the stool patterns evaluated through Bristol Stool Form (BSF); b) Improvement of the quality of life (QoL) measured by Latin-American IBS-QoL questionnaire; c) Improvement of the depression and anxiety severity evaluated by the Goldberg Depression and Anxiety Scale; d) Frequency of rescue medication use and e) Frequency of Adverse Events (AEs)
The reason for the study is to find out if an experimental combination of an oral medication called osimertinib (TAGRISSO®) when used in combination with chemotherapy is more effective than giving osimertinib alone for the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer. Some lung cancers are due to mutations in the Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) which, if known, can help physicians decide the best treatment for their patients. One type of mutation can occur in the gene that produces a protein on the surface of cells called the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR). Osimertinib is an Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) that targets Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) mutations. Unfortunately, despite the benefit observed for patients treated with osimertinib, the vast majority of cancers are expected to develop resistance to the drug over time. The exact reasons why resistance develops are not fully understood but based upon clinical research it is hoped that combining osimertinib with another type of anti-cancer therapy known as chemotherapy will delay the onset of resistance and the worsening of a patient's cancer. In total the study aims to enroll approximately 586 patients, consisting of approximately 30 patients who will participate in a safety run-in component of the trial, and approximately 556 who will receive osimertinib alone or osimertinib in combination with chemotherapy in the main trial. In the main part of the trial there is a one in two chance of receiving osimertinib alone, and the treatment is decided at random by a computer. The study involves a Screening Period, Treatment Period, and Follow up Period. Whilst receiving study medication, it is expected patients will attend, on average, approximately 15 visits over the first 12 months and then approximately 4 visits per year afterwards. Each visit will last about 2 to 6 hours depending on the arrangement of medical assessments by the study centre.
This Phase 2b study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of an RSV vaccine in pregnant participants who receive either one of 2 dose levels of the vaccine, formulated with or without aluminum hydroxide, or placebo, and investigate safety and characteristics of antibodies in their infants.
Critically ill patients under mechanical ventilation (MV) have pain, anxiety, sleep deprivation and agitation. The use of analgesics and sedatives drugs (sedoanalgesia) is a common practice to produce pain relief and comfort during the VM. Despite its usefulness, it has been documented that the excessive use of sedatives is associated with an increased risk of prolonging the stay under MV and in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). To avoid this, current evidence suggests the use of protocols guided to clinical goals, such as the sedation-agitation scale (SAS), or daily suspension of infusions to avoid excess sedation. These protocols minimize the prescription of deep sedation, which is still necessary for 20-30% of patients. Monitoring of sedation with electroencephalography in the ICU has been underutilized. In fact, only the use of indices that are generated from algorithms of the electroencephalographic signal processing has been reported. However, it has been shown that the use of these monitoring systems does not benefit the heterogeneous groups of patients in MV. Currently, the clinical monitors used to measure the effect of drugs used in a sedoanalgesia show in the screen the spectrogram of the brain electrical signal and quantify the frequency under which 95% of the electroencephalographic power is located, known as spectral edge frequency 95 (SEF95). This value in a person who is conscious is usually greater than 20 Hz, in a patient undergoing general anesthesia it is between 10 and 15 Hz. In preliminary measurements, in deeply sedated patients in the ICU, SEF95 values are under 5 Hz. This would indicate that patients in the ICU are being overdosed. It is unknown if in cases with an indication of deep sedation, the use of monitoring by spectrogram is superior to the standard management guided at clinical scales, such as SAS. Therefore, the investigators propose the following hypothesis: In patients with an appropriate indication of deep sedation (SAS 1-2), the sedoanalgesia guided by the spectral edge frequency 95 reduces the consumption of propofol compared to the deep sedoanalgesia guided by the sedation scale agitation in MV patients in the ICU maintaining a clinically adequate level of sedation.
The primary purpose of the study is to compare the effectiveness of nivolumab plus concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) followed by nivolumab plus ipilimumab vs CCRT followed by durvalumab in participants with untreated Locally Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (LA NSCLC).
This is a pivotal phase 3 study designed to support an indication for the reduction of cardiovascular risk in patients with established CVD and elevated Lp(a)
This study evaluated the additive effect of myofascial release therapy on the brachial biceps on conventional management (TENS) in pain intensity, hand prehensile strength and upper limb functionality of individuals with lateral epicondylalgia.
The study is aimed to determine the potential of volatile marker testing for gastric cancer screening. The study will be addressing the role of confounding factors, including lifestyle factors, diet, smoking as well as addressing the potential role of microbiota in the composition of exhaled volatile markers.
This study is divided into two parts: Part 1: An interventional study, with a pre-post study design to determinate the grade of knowledge of established GC risk factors. Part 2: An observational study to know impact on prevalence and infection eradication of H. pylori
Observational study (cohort type) of advanced GC patients that will be recruited prospectively to study biological factors associated with the disease and relevant clinical outcomes.
