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.
Primary Objectives: - To describe the characteristics of pediatric patients with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (AD) whose disease is not adequately controlled with topical therapies or when those therapies are not medically advisable. - To evaluate the time-course of AD and selected atopic comorbidities. Secondary Objectives: - To characterize disease burden and unmet need. - To describe real-world treatment patterns (eg, dosing regimens, treatment duration, and reasons for discontinuation and/or switching). - To document the real-world effectiveness and safety of treatments.
This phase III trial studies how well standard systemic therapy with or without definitive treatment (prostate removal surgery or radiation therapy) works in treating participants with prostate cancer that has spread to other places in the body. Addition of prostate removal surgery or radiation therapy to standard systemic therapy for prostate cancer may lower the chance of the cancer growing or spreading.
A comparative randomized intervention study is presented between a mixed strategy of use of bee wax mammary areolae. Together with the health education program for the promotion of breastfeeding by the WHO and another educational program with the aim of improving the adherence of breastfeeding to primiparous women. The use of both interventions can contribute to the adherence to exclusive maternity in 20% in the first 6 months of life, than only with the educational program. The study provides evidence of nursing practice, thus contributing to the improvement of nursing mothers in the prevention of lesions in the nipple and care in them if they occur. Consequently, improve the rates of successful breastfeeding, as well as the quality of life of breastfeeding mothers. The study will be carried out with several groups of midwives in Health Centers, in Spain, Colombia and Mexico. The sample was calculated in 240 women who attend the midwife's controls between week 29 and 40.
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of radial shock waves for the treatment of erectile dysfunction [ED]. Patients and methods: Randomized, double-blind clinical trial. The study will include patients of legal age with diagnosis of ED and score on the International Index of Erectile Function [IIEF-EF] scale between 11 and 21 points, who voluntarily decide to participate and sign the informed consent. Patients with bladder cancer, prostate cancer or active colon, ED of psychological origin, any psychiatric disorder, spinal cord injury, clinical suspicion of hypogonadism (score on the Aging Males' Symptoms scale greater than 36), infections or active lesions of the penis or pubic area, ED secondary to treatment with medications (antiandrogenic therapy, use of corticosteroids, anti-Parkinson's, antipsychotics), radical prostatectomy or other radical pelvic surgery, history of pelvic radiotherapy, penile implantation, or endocrine diseases that occur with ED (acromegaly, gigantism, Addison's disease, hyperprolactinemia, androgenic deficiency), sickle cell anemia, and anticoagulated patients will be excluded. Patients will be randomly assigned to one of the following treatment arms: - Arm 1 (Standard treatment (oral sildenafil) + Radial wave therapy) - Arm 2 (Standard treatment (oral sildenafil) + Placebo therapy) Measurements will be made of the Erection Hardness Score [EHS] and IIEF-EF scale scores, of the use of medication and of the possible adverse events of the therapy, at the beginning and end of the treatment, and one month after the therapies are finished.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of pembrolizumab (MK-3475) in participants from previous Merck pembrolizumab-based parent studies who transition into this extension study. This study will consist of three phases: 1) First Course Phase, 2) Survival Follow-up Phase or 3) Second Course Phase. Each participant will transition to this extension study in one of the following three phases, depending on the study phase they were in at the completion of the parent study. Participants who were in the First Course Phase of study treatment with pembrolizumab or lenvatinib in their parent study will enter the First Course Phase of this study and complete up to 35 doses or more every 3 weeks (Q3W) or 17 doses or more every 6 weeks (Q6W) of study treatment with pembrolizumab or a pembrolizumab-based combination or lenvatinib according to arm assignment. Participants who were in the Follow-up Phase in the parent study (post-treatment or Survival Follow-up Phase) will enter the Survival Follow-up Phase of this study. Participants who were in the Second Course Phase in their parent study will enter Second Course Phase of this study and complete up to 17 doses Q3W or 8 doses Q6W of study treatment with pembrolizumab or a pembrolizumab-based combination according to arm assignment. Any participant originating from a parent trial where crossover to pembrolizumab was permitted upon disease progression may be eligible for 35 doses as Q3W or 17 doses Q6W of pembrolizumab (approximately 2 years), if they progress while on the control arm and pembrolizumab is approved for the indication in the country where the potential eligible crossover participant is being evaluated.
The purpose of the Phase 2 CSEG101B2201 study is to confirm and to establish appropriate dosing and to evaluate the safety in pediatric participants ages 6 months to <18 years with a history of VOC with or without HU/HC, receiving crizanlizumab for 2 years. The efficacy and safety of crizanlizumab was already demonstrated in adults with sickle cell disease. The approach is to extrapolate from the PK/pharmacodynamics (PD) already established in the adult population. The study is designed as a Phase II, multicenter, open-label study.
This is an extension study to evaluate safety and efficacy of ozanimod in participants with moderately to severely active Crohn's Disease.
This is a study to demonstrate the effect of oral ozanimod as maintenance therapy in participants with moderately to severely active Crohn's Disease.
Patients with gastrointestinal cancer often experience physical deconditioning; this could lead to an increased risk of complications, especially when they require major abdominal surgical procedures. It has been suggested that physical training in the preoperative period could improve their condition, reducing the risk of complications. Although this topic has been investigated, it has not been established yet the best short preoperative aerobic exercise program to enhance the aerobic capacity in patients with gastrointestinal cancer who are going to be to surgical primary management, and consequently, to help patients dealing with the physiological stress involved in a surgical intervention. Main objective: To determine the efficacy and safety of a 4 weeks preoperative exercise program in patients with gastrointestinal cancer scheduled for primary surgery. Materials and methods: This is a Phase II single arm clinical trial that will include patients between 45 and 70 years, with confirmed gastrointestinal cancer (gastric, hepatic, colon or rectal cancer), without electrocardiographic abnormalities, and scheduled for primary surgery in 4 weeks or more since recruitment All the enrolled patients will receive a basal aerobic capacity assessment with the 6-minute walk test. Then, two physical therapist will prescribe them a supervised and individualized aerobic training program in 3 sessions per week during 4 weeks. Each session will last 50 minutes and will increase the heart rate target weekly (from 50% to 70% of the maximum heart rate). The aerobic exercise will be carried on a treadmill or in a stationary bicycle. The post intervention aerobic capacity will be measured at week 3 and 4 with the 6-minute walk test. The main efficacy outcome will be peak oxygen consumption (VO2 peak) and the safety outcomes will be exercise-related adverse events and the program adherence. This protocol was approved by the Instituto Nacional de Cancerología's Ethical Board
STRONG-HF is a multicenter, randomized, parallel group study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of up-titration of standard oral heart failure medications during hospitalization for acute heart failure. Patients admitted for acute heart failure will be randomized within 2 days before discharge to either usual care or intensification of treatment with a beta-blocker, a renin-angiotensin system blocker, and a mineralocorticoid receptor blocker ("high intensity care" arm). In the "high intensity care" arm, patients' clinical signs and symptoms of heart failure will be assessed, and routine laboratory measures and biomarkers will be measured, at frequent post-discharge visits. When these measures indicate that it is safe to do so, the doses of the oral heart failure medications will be increased to optimal levels. Patients will be followed through 180 days from randomization. Patients assigned to the usual care group will be followed by their general physician and/or cardiologist according to local medical standards. Patients who were screened but did not meet eligibility criteria will be followed for 90-day outcome. Randomized patients will be contacted at 180 days to assess outcomes.
