There are about 21071 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Spain. 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.
Multicenter, randomized, evaluator-blinded clinical trial compared to Prednisolone acetate, 1% in the treatment of inflammation and pain after cataract surgery in pediatric population. This study will assess the safety of Clobetasol propionate ophthalmic nanoemulsion, 0.05% to that of Prednisolone acetate, 1% when administering one drop four times a day (QID) for 14 days followed by a tapering period of 14 days after cataract surgery.
The purpose of this study is to find out if somapacitan is safe and how well somapacitan works in children either born small for gestational age or with Turner syndrome, Noonan syndrome or idiopathic short stature. Somapacitan is a new growth hormone medicine for treatment of low level of growth hormone. The study will last for about 3 years. During the study, the participants will be treated with somapacitan once a week. Somapacitan can be injected anytime during the day. The study doctor or nurse will show how to inject somapacitan, so that the participant knows how to do it at home.
The purpose of this study is to investigate dostarlimab monotherapy in participants with locally advanced Mismatch-repair deficient (dMMR)/Microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) rectal cancer who have received no prior treatment. Participants who achieve complete clinical response (cCR) following dostarlimab treatment will undergo non-operative management (NOM), including close surveillance for recurrent disease. The goal of the study is to determine if Dostarlimab therapy alone is an effective treatment that can allow participants to avoid chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery.
In patients with symptomatic atrial fibrillation (AF), current clinical guidelines recommend ablation for rhythm control. While percutaneous ablation has good results in patients with paroxysmal AF, it is not clear which is the best technique in patients with persistent or long-standing persistent AF. Our group performed the first randomized study of thoracoscopic epicardial ablation vs. endocardial catheter ablation (FAST Trial), which showed better results for epicardial ablation but with a higher rate of complications. Hybrid epicardial and endocardial ablation strategies have recently been described sequentially, showing better results in patients with persistent AF, but 40% of patients are still refractory to ablation. Our study aims to compare the conventional strategy (catheter ablation) with partial electrical isolation of the left atrium endo-epicardially (pulmonary veins, posterior wall and left atrial appendage) in a single procedure in the group of patients most refractory to ablation. Likewise, using magnetic resonance imaging and echocardiography to analyze the atrial remodeling factors that can predict the success and failure of both therapies. Methodology: A 1:1 randomized clinical trial in patients with persistent and long-standing persistent AF in two groups: conventional ablation vs. partial endo-epicardial isolation. Prior to ablation, cardioversion will be performed and functionality and atrial size will be verified by echocardiography and delayed-enhancement magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) will detect the degree of fibrosis and atrial remodeling. During the ablation procedure, a continuous rhythm recording device will be implanted. Likewise, at three months the MRI will be repeated to detect post-ablation fibrosis. At six months the echocardiography will be performed to assess atrial function and size. Main Expected Results: The expected results include: 1. an improvement in the rate of patients with no atrial arrhythmias recurrence in patients undergoing endo-epicardial ablation; 2. a lower AF burden in patients undergoing endo-epicardial ablation who have had recurrence; 3. To know the degree of atrial fibrosis associated with the success/failure of each technique; 4. To know the degree of fibrosis that both techniques produce; 5. To know the degree of ventricular function associated with the success/failure of each technique; 6. To know the degree of potentially lost atrial function; 7. To Compare the safety of both techniques
The main purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of baricitinib for the treatment of severe or very severe alopecia areata (hair loss) in children from 6 years to less than 18 years of age. The study is divided into 4 periods, a 5-week Screening period, a 36-week Double-Blind Treatment Period, an approximately 2-year Long-term Extension Period, and a 4-week Post-treatment Follow-up period.
The main objective of the trial is to assess the efficacy and safety of trimodulin as adjunctive treatment to standard of care (SoC) compared to placebo plus SoC in adult hospitalized subjects with sCAP on invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV). Other objectives are to determine detailed pharmacokinetic (PK) properties of trimodulin in a PK substudy and to determine its pharmacodynamic (PD) properties.
On many occasions, clinicians find situations in which they have to perform extractions of erupted or semi-erupted third molars or wisdom teeth where there are pre-existing periodontal pockets distal to the second molars, caused by a bone defect due to periodontal disease or due to malposition of the wisdom tooth concerning the second molar. After the extraction of an erupted or semi-included third molar, and as a consequence of factors related to dental malposition or bone defects caused by periodontal disease, periodontal pockets can arise on the distal surface of the second molar. When such exodontia is performed conventionally without raising a flap or applying any suturing technique in which there is a primary closure of the wound, there is a greater probability of persistence of periodontal pockets; and, in the worst case, they may increase after healing and closure of the alveolus. The consequence would be the formation of an enlarged and unattached tissue on the distal aspect of the second molar. The fact that periodontal pockets persist acts as an unfavorable prognostic factor. The predictive power of subsequent periodontal destruction increases since these are areas where bacteria will continue to accumulate (etiological factor of periodontal disease), and where the patient will not be able to access for their elimination and control. This is why a surgical technique called "distal wedge" has been proposed to eliminate these pockets. To avoid this second surgical procedure, we propose a procedure immediately after the conventional exodontic technique; where after performing a small gingivectomy and lifting a mucoperiosteal flap based on periodontal respective surgery concepts, primary closure of the alveolus and repositioning of the flaps at the level of the bone crest is achieved, eliminating these pre-existing pockets. This requires the existence of sufficient keratinized gingiva to maintain a band of at least 2 mm of keratinized tissue after the gingivectomy, thus ensuring a correct adherent tissue that provides sealing and proper maintenance of the periodontal tissues around the tooth. The proposed technique has been termed a "distal reduction flap" (DRF).
Pancreatic cancer is a disease with a very poor prognosis and less than 10% of these patients live beyond 5 years from diagnosis. Further, it is expected to become the second leading cause of death in the coming years. Today, surgery remains the cornerstone in curing this disease, but the addition of chemotherapy is needed to improve survival. The impact of adjuvant treatment has been previously demonstrated and its efficacy is absolute. However, neoadjuvant chemotherapy (pre-surgery) improves the results after surgery (achieving earlier stages and with better prognosis) and would lead to better survival results. Besides, the moment of cancer diagnosis is a moment of special receptivity to change lifestyles ("teachable moment"). Multimodal prehabilitation includes 1) physical exercise; 2) nutritional and 3) psychological support. The potential advantages of prehabilitation during neoadjuvant therapy would be 1) the possibility of achieving a better physical condition to face surgery; 2) fewer postoperative complications; 3) more likely to receive adjuvant treatment after surgery; 4) better physical function at the end of treatments. To date, most studies have focused on lung and prostate cancer, with a high prevalence of men in the series. This strategy has previously been explored, showing that it is safe and feasible, (Loughney et al). We have not identified any study of trimodal prehabilitation during neoadjuvant treatment and none that has integrated motivational strategies to maintain adherence. Patients during chemotherapy have perceived several adverse effects that could limit adherence to the program. In this regard, a review on the motivation and exercise in cancer survivors shows that it is necessary to apply theoretical frameworks to understand cognitive and motivational processes and develop educational interventions. The self-determination theory is one of the motivational theories most applied today to the analysis of factors related to the adoption of healthy lifestyles. Likewise, patients who are motivated are more likely to improve healthy habits and obtain greater adherence to exercise performance. Therefore, we aimed of carrying out an intervention (pilot study) in ten patients to describe the feasibility of a trimodal prehabilitation program in the hospital environment, applying motivational strategies and a mixed-method (face-to-face and online).
The aim is to clinically evaluate the effect of the alveolar sealing technique using a customised abutment on soft tissue volume changes following molar extraction and immediate dental implant placement.
