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 will establish whether prolonged chronic dosing with secukinumab is needed in participants with Non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis, (nr-axSpA) who have achieved remission. Remission is defined as Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score - C-reactive protein (ASDAS-CRP) Inactive Disease (ID) response (ASDAS-CRP < 1.3). Maintenance of remission on continued secukinumab treatment will be evaluated compared to placebo using a randomized withdrawal design. The primary outcome measure for this study is the proportion of participants remaining flare-free at Week 120.
It is estimated that by 2030 one in five women and one in seven men will be obese, equivalent to more than 1 billion people around the world. It should be noted that the largest number of people with obesity live in countries with low and moderate-income. In 2019, more than 160 million years of healthy life were lost in the world, due to a high body mass index (BMI), this represents more than 20% of all years of healthy life lost due to chronic diseases. Therefore, it is essential to stop the increase in obesity and reduce it at all ages, which demands comprehensive actions at the global level. Scientific evidence suggests that people with a normal BMI, but with abdominal obesity, have a higher mortality risk compared to those with a similar or even higher BMI. In addition, visceral adiposity has been associated with worse survival and with colorectal cancer. Several methods of physical exercise have been used to counteract the adverse effects of obesity, including high-intensity functional circuit training (HIFCT). Scientific evidence indicates that HIFCT reduces fat mass, body mass, BMI, and waist circumference and improves muscle strength, maximal oxygen uptake, and health-related quality of life in overweight, obese, inactive, and with other diseases. However, no research assessed intra-abdominal fat (IAF), which, more than subcutaneous fat, is associated with cardiovascular risk factors. In addition, these studies had important methodological limitations. Therefore, the primary purpose of this study is to identify the effect of two HIFCT protocols, prolonged load (HIFCT-P) and short load (HIFCT-S), performed in a virtual environment for ten weeks on intra-abdominal fat in people between 18-40 years-old with abdominal obesity.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of deucravacitinib compared with placebo in an active moderate to severe Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) population.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of once daily oral inhalation dose of MK-5475 380 µg in participants 40 to 85 years (inclusive) with Pulmonary Hypertension associated with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (PH-COPD). The primary hypothesis of the study is MK-5475, a soluble Guanylate Cyclase (sGC) stimulator is superior to placebo in increasing 6 Minute Walking Distance (6MWD) from baseline at Week 24.
The goal of this observational study is to longitudinally investigating subjects with inaugural acute optic neuritis (ON). The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does the time to corticosteroid treatment affect the visual outcome at 6 months in subjects with acute multiple sclerosis (MS)-, aquaporin 4-IgG positive (AQP4-IgG+) and myelin-oligodendrocyte-glycoprotein-IgG positive (MOG-IgG+) ON? - How differ clinical, structural, and laboratory biomarkers in subjects with acute ON, including clinical isolated syndrome (CIS), MS-ON, AQP4-IgG+ON, MOG-IgG+ON and seronegative non-MS-ON? Participants will undergo - clinical examination, including clinical history, neurovisual and neurological tests - serum and cerebrospinal fluid examination - optical coherence tomography (OCT) - magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) - assessment of depression, pain, quality of life through validated questionnaires Researchers will compare subjects with MS-ON, AQP4-IgG+ON, MOG-IgG+ON and other ON (CIS, seronegative non-MS-ON) to detect diagnostic and predictive markers for the disease course.
Within a survey of adolescent males in Medellin schools (mainly 13-year old boys) the researchers are randomizing whether survey respondents answer sensitive questions themselves or are asked the questions by an enumerator. Questions are of three main varieties: (1) antisocial behaviors, (2) symptoms of depression, and (3) symptoms of anxiety.
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-arm, Phase 3 study of BLU-5937 in participants with Refractory Chronic Cough (RCC).
The primary objectives of the study are to evaluate the safety and tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of sotatercept over 24 weeks of treatment in children ≥1 to <18 years of age with PAH World Health Organization (WHO) Group 1 on standard of care (SoC). There is no formal hypothesis.
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a cancer of the blood and bone marrow and is the most common acute leukemia in adults. This study will evaluate how well venetoclax in combination with azacitidine works to treat AML in adult participants in Colombia. Venetoclax in combination with azacytidine is approved to treat Acute myeloid leukemia (AML). All study participants will receive venetoclax in combination with azacitidine as prescribed by their study doctor in accordance with approved local label. Adult participants with a new diagnosis of AML will be enrolled. Around 70 participants will be enrolled in the study in Colombia. Participants will receive venetoclax tablets to be taken by mouth in combination with azacitidine given by subcutaneous (SC) or intravenous (IV) injection according to the approved local label. The duration of the study is approximately 36 months. There is expected to be no additional burden for participants in this trial. All study visits will occur during routine clinical practice.
IASP defines "pain" as "an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with or resembling that associated with actual or potential tissue damage". In some patients, pain is one of the reasons they initially consult a doctor and will be strongly related to cancer itself, is connected to receiving the cancer diagnosis, and therefore may become an uncertain threat of disease recurrence in cancer survivors. Neuropathic pain is the most prevalent type of pain, but a mixed type of pain is also common, reflecting the complexity of the pain experience. There is increasing evidence in oncology that quality of life and survival are linked to early and effective palliative care, including pain management. Although improvements have been seen, undertreatment of pain remains a problem in a significant subset of cancer patients. Regarding the interventional options in cancer pain, multiple possibilities range from pharmacological modulation, the use of modalities or physical means, as well as the practice of physical exercise as a mechanism of pain modulation, which has been established according to the background grade of recommendation. Regarding education in neuroscience, this has gained momentum in chronic pain since previous interventions have generated recommendations to include neurocognitive interventions in pain processes. Therefore, it seeks to determine the effectiveness of a neuroscience education program compared to conventional treatment in adults with cancer pain in biopsychosocial variables.
