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 study was designed to gather information regarding the use of palivizumab for the prophylaxis for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection in high-risk infants in selected countries within Latin America.
The main aim of this study is to investigate to what extent it is possible to reach normal glucose metabolism and optimal cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factor levels with early lifestyle interventions in people at high risk of type 2 diabetes compared with those who receive standard therapy (usual care) only. The project will show the effect of these interventions for the first time in people of low socio-economic levels living in a Caribbean environment.
The purpose of this study is to detect acute febrile episodes and dengue infection in five Latin American countries to assess dengue seroprevalence. Primary objectives: - To identify acute febrile episodes among the cohort in order to detect the presence of dengue infection. - To describe the dengue seroprevalence among the cohort at baseline and at the end of the study.
This is a Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and immunogenicity of treatment with reslizumab in patients with eosinophilic asthma.
The purpose of this BAX 326 Continuation Study is to further investigate incremental recovery over time, the hemostatic efficacy, the safety, immunogenicity, and health-related quality of life (HR QoL) of BAX 326 in previously treated patients (PTPs) with severe and moderately severe hemophilia B who participated in BAX 326 pivotal study 250901 or BAX 326 pediatric study 251101.
The purpose of the study is to determine whether Ipilimumab plus Paclitaxel and Carboplatin will extend the lives of patients with squamous only non small cell lung cancer more than placebo plus Paclitaxel and Carboplatin.
Lurasidone HCI is a compound that is a candidate for the treatment of bipolar I depression. This clinical study is designed to test the hypothesis that Lurasidone in combination with either Lithium or Divalproex is effective among patients with bipolar I depression.
In Colombia, ischemic heart disease and stroke are one of the most important causes of death in 45 years old people. Care of cases of disease represents high costs for the health system in particular and society in general, due to the loss of productive years life and costs for the care of the aftermath. Hypertension (HT) is one of the preventable risk factors for major cerebrovascular disorders. The pathophysiology of Essential hypertension is complex and depends of interaction of genetic and environmental factors. Among the determining elements are the increase in the activity of the sympathetic nervous system, the vasoconstricting and overproduction of hormones associated with sodium retention, disruption in renin secretion with increased production of aldosterone and angiotensin II, the deregulation of the kinins system, the increase in peripheral vascular resistance and activity of Growth factors in atherogenesis and vascular endothelial dysfunction, increased cardiac output, diabetes mellitus, obesity, and lower production of vasodilators such as brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), the prostacyclins and nitric oxide (NO), among others. Cocoa is a food rich in flavonoids, which stimulate the enzyme activity of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (e-NOS), responsible of the production of NO in vascular smooth muscle. The flavonoids modulate the synthesis of inflammatory substances that are derived from endothelial cells and the immune system. In a recent study found that with a few grams of cocoa achieves a significant reduction in blood pressure, so the investigators propose a controlled clinical trial to assess the effect of different doses of cocoa on blood pressure and endothelial inflammation in men with essential hypertension, stage I-II without target organ damage, in addition to pharmacologic monotherapy defined for the management of their disease. The investigators hope to determine an optimal dose of cocoa, with long-term effects, by their high content of flavonoids, improves cardiovascular and endothelial parameters with the advantage that it is an economical and easy introduction into the patient's habits.
The main objective of this study is to compare the effects of CP-690,550 with the effects of placebo in patients being treated for moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis. This one-year study will also evaluate the safety and tolerability of CP-690,550 versus placebo.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the clinical and technical performance of the CorPath® 200 System in the delivery and manipulation of coronary guidewires and stent/balloon systems for use in percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI).
