There are about 1912 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 primary objective of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of nusinersen administered intrathecally at higher doses to participants with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) who previously participated in study 232SM203 (NCT04089566). The secondary objective of this study is to evaluate the long-term efficacy of nusinersen administered intrathecally at higher doses to participants with SMA who previously participated in study 232SM203 (NCT04089566).
The purpose of this intervention is to improve the caregiving ability of family caregivers of people with cardiovascular diseases and therefore reduce burden caregiver through face-to-face, virtual interdisciplinary educational actions (B-learning) and with simulation support. The study will have two groups, one who will receive the intervention and the other with regular treatment.
A descriptive study to characterize clinical, radiological, lung function and quality of life alterations in patients who survived a severe or critical disease caused by SARS-COV-2 virus, who were treated in the intensive care unit of a high complexity institution in Cali, Colombia.
Primary objectives of the study are: - To evaluate binocular visual acuity at the end of this study in patients included from the VGFTe-ROP-1920 study, for treatment of Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP). - To evaluate long-term safety outcomes in patients included from the VGFTe-ROP-1920 study, for treatment of ROP. Secondary objectives of the study are: - To describe visual function in patients included from the VGFTe-ROP-1920 study, for treatment of ROP. - To describe overall development in patients included from the VGFTe-ROP-1920 study, for treatment of ROP.
MARCH is the first randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled evaluation of the efficacy and pathologic mechanism determined by synovial biopsy of 6 months of methotrexate (n=100) versus placebo (n=50) therapy for chronic chikungunya (CHIKV) arthritis in Colombia with the option for open-label use of the medication for up to one year for all participants. Our central hypothesis is that methotrexate will significantly decrease chronic CHIKV arthritis disease severity compared to placebo via suppression of leukocyte accumulation in synovial tissue and decreased expression of inflammatory cytokines from synovial macrophages and fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS).
In this study the investigators will follow the neurodevelopmental outcome of children with in utero ZIKV exposure who do not have microcephaly or severe abnormalities consistent with Congenital Zika Syndrome. The ZIKV-exposed children will be compared to non-ZIKV exposed controls. Children will be assessed at age 3 and 4 years using standardized neurodevelopmental assessments. Children will also have neurodevelopmental assessment at age 5 and 7 years along with a brain MRI at age 7 years.
This study will evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of Bimatoprost Sustained Release (SR) in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension who completed 1 of the 4 Phase 3 Bimatoprost SR studies (192024-091, -092, -093, or -095) and received Bimatoprost SR or who received commercial DURYSTA (Bimatoprost SR) in the open-label Phase 4 ARGOS study (MED-MA-EYE-0648) and completed (or exited early from) the study.
SUMMARY: Human lactation is a simple, cost-effective strategy contributing to infant and maternal mortality control. Skin to skin contact (SSC), is an immediate postpartum period strategy that has proven to benefit the initiation and continuation of human lactation and decreased hospitalization during the first week of life. This study aims to determine the effect of the initiation of SSC at birth (immediate vs. early) in healthy, full term newborns treated at Universidad de La Sabana Clinic, on the duration of exclusive human lactation. Research question: What is the effect of immediate SSC at birth (immediate vs. early) on the duration of exclusive human lactation in full-term newborns treated at the Universidad de La Sabana Clinic? Methodology: A random blind clinical trial was performed in which full-term healthy newborns that are attended at the Universidad de La Sabana Clinic are included. The blind participants will be those persons measuring the results and analysing the data. The sample size is calculated for a type I error of 5%, a two tailed type II error of 20%, therefore estimating percentage losses of 30%; 150 infants were included per group. Randomization will be performed using permuted, size 6 blocks. Descriptive analysis will be conducted using central tendency and dispersion measurements. A bivariate analysis will be performed to determine which variables are associated with exclusive human lactation at 6 months. For continuous variables, the Student t- test will be used for independent samples or the Wilcoxon rank sum test, in case the assumptions of normality for the t-tests are not fulfilled. The assumption of normality will be evaluated with the Shapiro Wilk and Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. Categorical variables in contingency tables will be constructed, assessing independence between variables with the Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test when the assumption of the number of cases is not met by the cells in the contingency tables, times two. It will be calculated as a measurement of the effect of relative risk (RR) with confidence intervals; the adjusted measurements will be calculated using a multivaried regression Poisson model, variables with significant results will be used in the bivariate analysis and those with biological plausibility used for the adjustment. The analysis will be carried out for a two-tailed type I error level of 5%. The Stata 11 program will be used for the data analysis. An interim analysis will be performed upon submission of half of the expected events (106), setting limits for early termination of the trial according to the method proposed by Pampallona and Tsiatis (1994). Intervention: There will be 2 SSC randomization groups, early vs. immediate. After completing the neonatal adaptation process and according to the group assignment, it will proceed to leave the newborn with the mother in accommodation. Prior to discharge, the IBFAT scale will be applied. Monitoring will initially be performed with a face valuation between 3 and 10 days of life, then monthly telephone calls for 6 months to verify the status of human lactation. Results: To determine whether early versus immediate SSC has an impact on the duration of exclusive human lactation.
The RELAHP registry is a Latin-American multinational, multicenter, prospective observational registry-type cohort study, which pretends to identify clinical characteristics, clinical course, management and outcome of all forms of pulmonary hypertension (PH). All consecutively consented patients newly diagnosed with WHO Group I-V PH according to specific hemodynamic criteria on right heart catheterization at the participating centers will be enrolled. Patients will be followed six-monthly for a minimum of five years from the time of enrollment.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of total root coverage between two coronally positioned flap technique in Miller recession Class I and II, in patients attending at "Universidad El Bosque" dental school clinics.
