There are about 1933 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Colombia. 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 main objective of Part 1 is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of bemarituzumab plus 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin, and oxaliplatin (mFOLFOX6) and nivolumab. The main objective Part 2 is to compare efficacy of bemarituzumab plus chemotherapy (mFOLFOX6 or capecitabine combined with oxaliplatin (CAPOX)) and nivolumab to placebo plus chemotherapy (mFOLFOX6 or CAPOX) and nivolumab as assessed by overall survival.
Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (CL) is a parasitic disease caused by more than 20 different species of the protozoan parasite Leishmania. CL generally begins with a papule at the sand fly bite site, increasing to form a nodule that progresses to ulceration, or a scaly or wart-like plaque, over a period of 1 to 3 months. The exact incidence of CL is not known. An estimated 1.2 million cases / year in approximately 100 countries around the world suffer from different forms of CL. In general, most lesions become ulcerated during the course of the disease. Among the different species of the parasite that cause LC, L. tropica from the Old World and L. braziliensis from the New World are considered the most important due to the severity of the disease they produce and because they are more difficult to cure with medications currently available. Since 2010, the World Health Organization has insisted on the need to work on products that become alternatives for the treatment of CL, especially in products that serve topical application because with them, the probability of systemic toxicity is lower , increasing patient safety. Among the options for topical treatment are natural products that have been, are, and will be extremely important as sources of medicinal agents. In addition to natural products that have found direct medicinal application as pharmaceutical entities, many others can serve as chemical models or templates for the design, synthesis and semi-synthesis of novel substances for the treatment of human diseases. Arnica montana L. is a plant with anti-echemotic, healing, anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antineuralgic properties; It is included in the Colombian vademecum of medicinal plants. In previous studies it has been observed that the contact of the ulcerated skin with the product for up to 60 days does not generate toxic effects at the local level (application site) or at the systemic level, so it can be considered safe for use. To date there are no human studies with CL. Therefore, it is intended to evaluate the safety and tolerability of Arnica tincture in individuals with uncomplicated CL, by measuring the occurrence and severity analysis of local and systemic adverse events.
Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic, complex and disabling clinical entity that has an average global prevalence of 2.7%. It occurs mainly in women in a 3: 1 ratio. It is characterized by persistent generalized pain, fatigue, unrefreshing sleep, cognitive dysfunction and numerous systemic symptoms such as dizziness, migraine, digestive alterations or sensory intolerances. At present there is no pharmacological treatment with specific indication for FM. Usually, non-curative treatments are recommended that alleviate the symptoms of the patients and improve their quality of life and functionality. Many studies have shown cognitive impairment in FM patients compared to control groups, and FM patients mainly show problems with working memory processes and / or in their attentional and executive domains, as well as in speed of speech. processing (BD Dick, Verrier, Harker, & Rashiq, 2008; Glass, 2009; Tesio et al., 2015; Williams, Clauw, & Glass, 2011). Many patients with FM have little understanding of their condition, leading to maladaptive pain cognitions and coping strategies. Current research has suggested the use of physiotherapy and rehabilitation in addition to cognitive patient education in the treatment of fibromyalgia. This study aimed to explore the effectiveness of pain neuroscience education in patients with FM. Therefore, this research aims to analyze the effectiveness of the neuroscience education program on pain in executive functions and the intensity of pain in patients with FM.
This study will evaluate the correlation between the symptomaticity, Ct value, laboratory biomarkers associated to COVID-19 and the disease progression in hospitalized patients and outpatients with SARS-CoV2 infection diagnosed by RT-PCR assay for nasopharyngeal swab specimens in a specialized laboratory at Medellin,Colombia.
The main objective of this study is to compare efficacy of bemarituzumab combined with oxaliplatin, leucovorin, and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) (mFOLFOX6) to placebo plus mFOLFOX6 as assessed by overall survival (OS) in participants with FGFR2b ≥10% 2+/3+ tumor cell staining (FGFR2b ≥10% 2+/3+TC)
The REBUILD Study is a first-in-human evaluation of the safety and performance of REBUILD Bioabsorbable.
Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP) is a rare, severely disabling disease characterized by the presence of bone in soft tissue where bone normally does not exist, known as Heterotopic Ossification (HO). It is often associated with painful, recurrent episodes of soft tissue swelling (flare-ups) that lead to abnormal stiffening and immobility (ankyloses) of major joints with cumulative and irreversible loss of movement and disability. This study will evaluate the efficacy of 2 dosing regimens of IPN60130 in inhibiting new HO volume compared with placebo (a dummy treatment) in adult and paediatric participants with FOP. It will be assessed by a scan (provides internal images of the body) called low dose Whole Body Computed Tomography (WBCT), excluding head. Adults and participants 5 years of age or older are also eligible for a sub study to evaluate HO lesions assessed by another type of scan, Fluorine-18-labelled natrium fluoride Positron Emission Tomography-Computed Tomography ([18F]NaF PET-CT ).
Distal radius metaphyseal fractures are the most frequent in the pediatric population. The current treatment for angulated or shortened fractures is effective. Still, it exposes children to anesthetic risks supported by the pain generated by the reduction. Due to the excellent remodeling capacity of bone at an early age, it is questionable whether an anatomical reduction is necessary. The clinical experiment's objective is to compare the functional result of immobilization without reducing angulated or displaced metaphyseal fractures of the distal radius against fractures brought to reduction under general anesthesia. Means difference in function subdomain of the upper limb of the PROMIS® scale is the primary outcome. The secondary results are wrist mobility, radius alignment, wrist articular relationships, and surgical complications.
Currently, the study of many extracts in different types of cancer has allowed the validation of scientific knowledge either as a therapy that reduces the size of the tumor or that helps to improve the quality of life of the patient by reducing the associated effects of the treatment. In the Immunobiology and Cell Biology group of the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, a standardized extract of Caesalpinia spinosa (Dividivi) called P2Et has been obtained. This extract has been shown to have cytotoxic activity in different human and murine tumor cell lines, favoring the induction of immunogenic cell death with the release of danger signals such as calreticulin, HMGB1 and ATP. Additionally, treating mice with murine melanoma and sinus tumors significantly reduces tumor size and metastases. On the other hand, induction of complete autophagic flux and synergistic effects with anthracycline-type chemotherapeutics have been shown in human cell lines and in animal models of breast cancer. With this background, and the results of the Phase I clinical study carried out in healthy volunteers that showed that the extract is safe, the investigators propose that treatment with the P2Et extract in patients with breast cancer could improve their general condition, impacting their quality of life. , and induce antitumor immune response, improving the immune infiltrate and acting as a transforming agent from a cold tumor to a warm tumor. This would lead to an improvement in the long-term survival of patients treated with the phytomedicine in conjunction with the chemotherapeutic treatment selected by the treating oncologist. In order to advance on this path, and responding to the adjustments suggested in the phase I study in healthy individuals, it is proposed to carry out a clinical study that allows determining the optimal biological dose of the P2Et extract in a design based on randomized simulations of adaptive form and considering the safety of the extract as an objective in patients with breast cancer. Additionally, those parameters that allow defining the best indicators of effectiveness of P2Et in this group of patients will be evaluated, such as modulation of the immune response, quality of life, reduction of adverse effects and progression-free survival.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of pembrolizumab/vibostolimab co-formulation (MK-7684A) with or without other anticancer therapies in participants with selected advanced solid tumors. The primary hypothesis is that pembrolizumab/vibostolimab co-formulation is superior to pembrolizumab alone in terms of objective response rate or progression-free survival in participants with cervical cancer.
