There are about 189 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Ecuador. 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 was a Phase III, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter international clinical trial conducted to investigate the use of pertuzumab in combination with trastuzumab and docetaxel as first-line treatment for participants with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Participants could have received one prior hormonal treatment for MBC. Participants may have received systemic breast cancer treatment in the neo-adjuvant or adjuvant setting, provided that the participant had experienced a disease-free interval (DFI) of greater than or equal to (≥)12 months from completion of adjuvant systemic treatment (excluding hormonal therapy) to metastatic diagnosis. Participants may have received trastuzumab and/or a taxane during the neo-adjuvant or adjuvant treatment. Participants were randomized in 1:1 ratio to receive either pertuzumab or placebo, along with trastuzumab and docetaxel once every 3 weeks (q3w), during the treatment phase of the study until investigator-assessed radiographic or clinical progressive disease, unmanageable toxicity, or study termination. Participants in the Placebo arm were not allowed to receive open-label pertuzumab after discontinuation from study treatment. However, if any analysis of overall survival had met the predefined criteria for statistical significance, participants in the Placebo arm still on treatment were offered the option to receive open-label pertuzumab in addition to other study medications.
This is a multicenter, randomized, double blind, double dummy, comparative, active-controlled trial designed to assess the analgesic activity and safety of intravenous doses of parecoxib 40 mg relative to intravenous doses of ketoprofen 100 mg for the treatment of renal colic in outpatients presenting at emergency room settings. This trial is designed to show non-inferiority of parecoxib related to ketoprofen.
This single arm study will assess the efficacy and safety of Mircera when administered once monthly, subcutaneously or intravenously, for the maintenance of hemoglobin levels in dialysis patients with chronic renal anemia. Patients currently receiving maintenance treatment with epoetin alfa will receive monthly injections of Mircera with a starting dose (120, 200 or 360 micrograms) derived from the dose of epoetin alfa they were receiving in the week preceding study start. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.
This single arm study will assess the safety of MabThera plus methotrexate in patients with rheumatoid arthritis who have had a lack of response to 1-5 DMARDs or biological agents. Patients will receive MabThera (1g i.v.) on days 1 and 15, concomitantly with methotrexate >=15mg p.o./week. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.
Primary Objective: - To assess the sexual function improvement from baseline to the end of treatment (Week 24 or premature withdrawal (PW)) with XATRAL 10mg OD. Secondary Objective: - To evaluate the association between Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) severity and sexual disorders, - To compare the improvement in sexual function, urinary symptoms and Quality of Life among the different regions, - To correlate MSHQ (Male Sexual Health Questionnaire) and IIEF-5 (the 5-Item version of the International Index of Erectile Function), - To assess the onset of action of XATRAL 10mg OD, - To assess the peak flow rate improvement (Qmax), - To assess the safety and the tolerability of XATRAL 10mg OD.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether daily use of emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (FTC/TDF) can prevent HIV infection in men who also receive HIV counseling, condoms, and treatment for other sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
This single arm study will assess the safety and efficacy of Avastin combined with platinum-containing chemotherapy regimens in patients with advanced or recurrent non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Avastin will be given as first-line treatment in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy or in combination with any standard of care NSCLC first-line chemotherapy used in line with the licensed national prescribing information. Eligible patients will receive Avastin (15mg/kg iv on day 1 of each 3 week cycle) concomitantly with chemotherapy. Avastin treatment will continue after completion of chemotherapy cycles until disease progression, and the target sample size is 500+ individuals.
This single arm study will assess the safety and efficacy of a regimen of Avastin plus a taxane, with or without additional chemotherapy, as first-line treatment in patients with locally recurrent or metastatic breast cancer. All patients will receive Avastin (10mg/kg iv every 2 weeks, or 15 mg/kg iv every 3 weeks) plus taxane-based chemotherapy. If taxanes are contraindicated, alternative chemotherapy (other than anthracyclines or pegylated liposomal doxorubicin) may be used. The anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression, and the target sample size is 500+ individuals.
To assess the efficacy of celecoxib loading dose of 400mg followed by 200 mg twice a day (BID) versus oral non-selective NSAIDs in acute pain due to ankle sprain.
This study was designed to compare the efficacy, tolerability, and safety of the combination valsartan/amlodipine 160/5 mg versus amlodipine 10 mg in patients with essential hypertension not adequately controlled (defined as mean sitting systolic blood pressure [msSBP] ≥ 130 mmHg and ≤ 160 mmHg) on amlodipine 5 mg alone. The study evaluated both the efficacy and tolerability of the treatments by providing data that assessed blood pressure and the proportion of patients developing peripheral edema.
