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.
This is an observational study in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) who will be receiving finerenone. Kidneys filter extra water and waste out of the blood and make urine. CKD is a long-term, progressive, decrease in the kidneys' ability to filter the blood properly. In people with T2D, the body does not make enough of a hormone called insulin, or does not use insulin well enough, resulting in high blood sugar levels that can cause damage to the kidneys. As a result, CKD can occur as a complication of T2D. Finerenone works by blocking certain proteins, called mineralocorticoid receptors. An increased stimulation of these proteins is thought to damage the kidneys and the heart. By lowering their stimulation, finerenone reduces the risk of kidney disease progressively getting worse. Finerenone is available and approved for doctors to prescribe to people with CKD and T2D. Since it has only recently become available for these patients, there is a need for more information about the use of finerenone in the real-world setting. The main purpose of the study is to learn more about treatment patterns in people with CKD and T2D who just started or will start finerenone treatment as decided and prescribed by their doctor as part of their routine medical care. To answer this question, the researchers will collect data on: - Clinical characteristics (e.g., history of CKD and T2D, blood pressure, heart health) of the participants - Reasons for starting finerenone - Reasons for stopping finerenone early - How long participants have been taking finerenone (planned by their doctor compared to actual time it was taken) - Dosing of finerenone - Other medications used while taking finerenone The researchers will also collect data on medical problems (called adverse events) that the participants may have during the study. All adverse events are collected, even if they might not be related to the study treatment. Hyperkalemia, a medical term used to describe a potassium level in the blood that is higher than normal, is of special interest when finerenone is combined with some medications commonly taken to control blood pressure. Researchers want to know how often higher potassium levels occur, and when it leads to: - Stopping finerenone treatment too early - Dialysis (a medical procedure to filter the blood of extra water and waste) - Care in a hospital All data will come from medical records or from interviews study doctors will have with the participants during visits that take place during routine medical care. Participants in the US will be invited to provide voluntary blood and urine samples that could be analyzed later to better understand possible changes in protein or nucleic acid levels over time. Each participant will be in the study for 12 months. This time participating in the study may be shorter if their finerenone treatment is stopped early or the study comes to an end as planned in September 2027.
Current nutritional diagnostic tools have serious limitations in certain groups of patients such as colon or ovarian cancer with high rates of overweight and obesity in which traditional anthropometric assessment is limited. The objective of the project is to establish a comprehensive nutritional assessment in surgical patients assessed in intensified recovery programs in Surgery at a national level, including new techniques aimed at measuring muscular and functional affection.
This study will assess the efficacy and safety of capivasertib plus docetaxel versus placebo plus docetaxel in participants with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), all participants will receive the docetaxel with steroid therapy and receive androgen deprivation therapy. The intention of the study is to demonstrate that the combination of capivasertib plus docetaxel is superior to placebo plus docetaxel with respect to the overall survival of study participants, when overall survival is defined as the time from randomization until the date of death due to any cause.
This is an open-label, randomised study in participants with chronic kidney disease (CKD) treated for hyperkalaemia (HK) whilst in hospital. The study will compare SZC to standard of care (SoC) with the goal of determining: - If continued use of SZC maintains normokalaemia (NK) better than SoC after participant discharge from the hospital. - If continued use of SZC after discharge will reduce HK related healthcare resource utilisation compared to SoC.
The purpose of this study to evaluate the clinical efficacy of guselkumab in fistulizing, perianal Crohn's disease and to assess the overall safety of guselkumab.
The present study aims to compare effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of the miRFec test with respect to fecal immunochemical test (FIT) for the detection of advanced colorectal neoplasm among individuals participating in colorectal cancer (CRC) screening.
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ravulizumab in pediatric participants with Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder (NMOSD).
The placement of TIPS (transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt) is the most effective strategy to treat complications of portal hypertension. However, the threat of developing post-TIPS complications diminishes its use and applicability. Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is the most feared and frequent post-TIPS complication, affecting between 25-54% of patients. Available treatments against HE are only partially effective. Therefore, the best existing strategy is to accurately select patients for TIPS excluding those presenting known high risk factors associated to post-TIPS HE. Despite applying this approach, the incidence of post-TIPS HE still remains very high. The investigators hypothesize that a better identification of risk factors for post-TIPS HE, together with the introduction of therapeutic interventions modulating pathophysiological mechanisms involved in post-TIPS HE development - among which sarcopenia stands out- would lead to a reduction in the incidence of HE and, eventually, to an increase in the number of patients benefiting from TIPS. Thus, our project is aimed at 1. Demonstrate that a 12 weeks lifestyle intervention based on resistance training and nutritional counseling can reduce sarcopenia and, ultimately, post-TIPS HE. 2. To study predictive factors of post-TIPS HE, focusing on the role of factors that have never been evaluated in the setting of TIPS: gut microbiome and cognitive function
The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of DTX301 on the improvement of ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC) function by maintaining safe plasma ammonia levels with removal of dietary protein restriction and alternative pathway medication.
The brain is a recognized target of iron deposition. This process is enhanced by the presence of obesity and hyperglycemia and impacts cognitive functions. There is evidence suggesting that the gut microbiota composition modulates this process. It has been proposed that microRNAs are mediators in the dialogue between the composition and functionality of the intestinal microbiota and increased iron deposition in the brain. The hypothesis is that circulating microRNAs are associated with parameters of cognitive dysfunction, gut microbiota, brain iron content, glucose levels, and physical activity in subjects with and without obesity. The study includes both a cross-sectional (comparison of subjects with and without obesity) and a longitudinal design (evaluation one year after weight loss induced by bariatric surgery or by diet in patients with obesity) to evaluate the associations between circulating microRNAs, continuous glucose monitoring, brain iron content (by magnetic resonance), cognitive function (by means of cognitive tests), physical activity (measured by activity and sleep tracker device) and the composition of the microbiota, evaluated by metagenomics.
