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.
This study evaluates the effects of a finishing protocol in orthodontic outcomes using ABO-OGS scores. Patients who finish orthodontic treatment and fulfill the inclusion and exclusion criteria receive a treatment using a finishing protocol and their scores are compare with 40 patients who don't receive a finishing protocol
Aerobic exercise produces increases in cardiorespiratory fitness (CF), which constitute a protective factor for cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality. Therefore, aerobic exercise is a key strategy to promoting cardiovascular. There is some evidence that aerobic high intensity interval training may lead to greater increases in CF compared with continuous moderate-intensity training. The main objective of this study is to examine the effects of an aerobic high intensity training program versus a continuous moderate intensity training program on CF in men 18 to 44 years.
The purpose of this study was to determine whether treatment with tamoxifen or a non-steroidal aromatase inhibitors (NSAI) + goserelin + LEE011 prolonged progression-free survival (PFS) compared to treatment with tamoxifen or a NSAI + goserelin + placebo in premenopausal women with hormone receptor positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HER2-) advanced breast cancer.
This partially randomized clinical trial studies surgery or non-surgical management in treating patients with intra-abdominal cancer and bowel obstruction. Bowel obstruction is a common problem for advanced cancer patients and can negatively affect quality of life. It is not yet known whether surgery or non-surgical management is the best treatment option for bowel obstruction and can lead to better quality of life.
This is a multicenter, double-blind, randomized study comparing the efficacy, pharmacokinetics (PK)/pharmacodynamics (PD), safety and immunogenicity profile of RTXM83 (rituximab biosimilar) vs reference rituximab (MabThera®), both with CHOP, as first-line treatment of Diffuse-Large-B-Cell-Lymphoma (DLBCL). Rituximab biosimilar and MabThera® were both administered intravenously on Day 1 of each 3-week cycle with CHOP chemotherapy for six cycles. Two additional cycles of treatment were permitted at the Investigator's discretion. Patients were followed up for 9 months after last study dose.
Study evaluating the safety and efficacy of a novel biologic in the treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus in male and female adults. Patients who qualify will be randomized to either active BMS-931699 or placebo for initially, up to 24 weeks. Patients who complete the initial 24 weeks of treatment and who are responding to therapy will have the option to continue receiving BMS-931699 as part of a long-term extension (LTE). Disease activity and safety will be assessed over the course of the study through laboratory values, various rating scales accepted in systemic lupus erythematosus studies and patient self reporting.
This is a single-arm study designed to assess the efficacy of acupuncture (Traditional Chinese Medicine) for chronic macular diseases of several types. All participants received acupuncture and massage and there is not a placebo group because it is not considered a good form to evaluate in Chinese Medicine due to, acupuncturing being a procedure is not as blind as is desired. As a control of the results in this trial, the outcomes could be contrasted against those reported in known medical publications and against expectations of the progress of the damage without treatment.
It was decided to develop a comprehensive disability score specifically designed for patients receiving prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV); the collection of information included in the score should not impose any further intervention beyond what is routinely performed. So a new questionnaire was created (called the Multi-INdependency Dimensions (MIND) that included 3 sections (nurse, physiotherapist and medical doctor), 11 categories and 18 items. Each question was adapted to have a 5 item Likert scale. The primary objective of the study will be to evaluate the psychometric performance of the MIND score in terms of validity, reliability and sensitivity to change over time. The secondary objective will be to assess the inclusion of biological markers on the overall performance of the MIND score
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of bimatoprost sustained-release (SR) in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. The study includes a 12-month treatment period with an 8-month extended follow-up.
INTRODUCTION: Hypothermia in the newborn causes morbid conditions. In developing countries in the basic technology for neonatal adaptation may not be available. Polyethylene bags may be an alternative to lamp radiant heat to prevent hypothermia OBJECTIVE: To characterize the differences between babies undergoing body bag with polyethylene or conventional drying during neonatal adaptation in the Hospital de la Victoria and Hospital de Engativá, Bogotá, Colombia, 2013. MATERIALS AND METHODS: parallel-group randomized controlled trial. Groups: dried conventional (control) or polyethylene body bag (intervention). The procedure lasted 10 minutes, the bag body and / or radiant heat lamp was removed. Environment temperature and humidity, temperature in the body segments 1-5-10-60-120 minutes and APGAR was measured. Statistical Analysis: Descriptive bivariate statistical inference and calculated. Risk ratio (RR) and confidence intervals (CIs) were determined using contingency tables for risk analysis of the outcome. The study was approved by the hospital ethics committee of victory.
