There are about 244 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Costa Rica. 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 was a multicenter, randomized study to evaluate the safety, immunogenicity, and efficacy of VRC-ZKADNA090-00-VP (Zika virus wildtype DNA vaccine) or placebo. In Part A, the primary objective was to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the vaccine in different vaccination regimens. In Part B, the primary objectives were to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the vaccine compared to placebo.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of ipatasertib plus abiraterone and prednisone/prednisolone compared with placebo plus abiraterone and prednisone/prednisolone in participants with metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).
The primary objective of this trial is to continue the provision of darunavir/ low-dose ritonavir (DRV/rtv) to adult and pediatric patients who previously received DRV/rtv in the clinical trials TMC114-C211, TMC114-C214, TMC114-TiDP31-C229 or in the pediatric trial TMC114-TiDP29-C232 who continue to benefit from the use of DRV/rtv, in countries where DRV is not commercially available for the subject, is not reimbursed, or cannot be accessed through another source (e.g., access program, governmental program).
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of voclosporin compared with placebo in achieving renal response after 52 weeks of therapy in subjects with active lupus nephritis.
A randomized withdrawal study in which responders to open-label treatment with tofacitinib will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to tofacitinib or placebo in a double-blind phase. In the double-blind phase "time to sJIA flare" will be evaluated as primary endpoint and subjects will be discontinued once they experience sJIA flare. An interim analysis for efficacy and futility will be conducted when at least 20 flares have been observed. If either criterion is met, the study will be stopped. If neither criterion is met, the study will continue until the requisite number of flares are observed as determined by the number of flares included in the interim analysis and a statistical penalty for conducting the interim analysis.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical consistency of three production lots of the Porcine circovirus (PCV)-free liquid formulation of oral live attenuated human rotavirus (HRV) vaccine and to evaluate the PCV-free liquid formulation of HRV vaccine as compared to the currently licensed lyophilised formulation of the HRV vaccine in terms of immunogenicity, reactogenicity and safety when administered as a two-dose vaccination in healthy infants starting at age 6-12 weeks. No new subjects will be enrolled in the extension phase of the study.
This is a randomized, global, multicenter, open-label, Phase 3 clinical study in participants with severe hemophilia A without inhibitors against Factor VIII (FVIII) who are 12 years or older. The study evaluates two prophylactic emicizumab regimens versus no prophylaxis in this population with emphasis on efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics.
This non-randomized, multicenter, open-label, Phase III clinical study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of emicizumab administered subcutaneously initially once weekly (QW) in pediatric participants with hemophilia A with FVIII inhibitors. This study will open two additional non-randomized cohorts to investigate once every 2 weeks (Q2W) and once every 4 weeks (Q4W) regimens in pediatric participants.
This is a multi-country, multicentre, observational prospective data collection cross sectional study of patients with stable COPD in Latin America. Primary objective is to assess and characterize COPD symptoms over a period of 24 hours, by collecting information about the respiratory symptoms experienced at different times of the day and night-time in patients with stable COPD under real clinical practice conditions. Correlation between each of these symptoms and the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) classification, adherence to respiratory treatment, level of dyspnea, disease severity, comorbidities and physical activity as well direct costs will be done as secondary objectives. Study population are patients of 40 years and older, smokers or ex smokers of >= 10 pack/years with previous COPD diagnosis, attending outpatient specialists consults in Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Uruguay, Costa Rica, Guatemala and Mexico. Sample size is targeted to 900 enroled patients in order to ensure 860 patients to achieve statistical power to primary objective.
Helicobacter pylori is a common bacterial infection. It can lead to severe stomach problems, including stomach cancer. Researchers want to look at samples of the bacteria. These H. pylori strains will be taken from chronically infected people. They want to identify the genetic and epigenetic differences in H. pylori strains. This could help predict which people who get infected with the bacteria will get stomach cancer. This could lead to the cancer being detected earlier. It could also mean less people get stomach cancer. Objectives: To study genetic variations of H. pylori strains based on samples from chronically infected people. To identify the features of strains that might lead to severe stomach problems or stomach cancer. Eligibility: People ages 30-70 years who need an upper endoscopy or who were recently diagnosed with stomach cancer Design: Participants will be screened by the doctor who does their procedure and a study nurse. Participants who have endoscopy will have ~6 biopsies removed. These are tissue samples. They are about the size of a grain of rice. Participants will allow the study team to access reports from their stomach exam. Participants with stomach cancer will donate some of the tissue that will be removed during their clinical care. They will allow the study team to access reports of their surgery. They will also allow them to access the microscope slides of their stomach.
