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.
The investigators want to study the effectiveness of prophylactic cholecystectomy in patients with midgut neuroendocrine tumor (jejunum, ileum or proximal colon) who require primary tumor surgery. When patients are diagnosed and are tributary to surgical treatment, the tumor might compromise vascularization, and patients need an extensive bowel resection. The patients might also receive medical treatment with somatostatin analogs. The combination of extensive bowel resection and medical treatment might increase gallbladder stones, but patients might not develop biliary stone disease, as in the general population, where 20% of the population have gallbladder stones but only a 10 to 15 % of the population will develop symptoms. The idea comes from the lack of literature about the incidence of biliary Stone disease in patients with midgut NET tumors. It's a multicentric, open-label and randomized clinical trial to evaluate the incidence of biliary stone disease in patients with midgut NET who require primary tumor surgery combined or not to cholecystectomy. Our hypothesis suggests that patients with midgut neuroendocrine tumor who require primary tumor resection without the combination of prophylactic cholecystectomy do not have an increased incidence of biliary stone disease two years after the surgery, regardless of treatment with SSA.
The DiamondTemp™ Global Registry is a prospective, global, multi-center, observational post-market registry.
Open label, randomized, controlled phase II study preceded by a safety run-in part in subjects with advanced or metastatic soft-tissue sarcoma.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of nemtabrutinib (formerly ARQ 531) in participants with hematologic malignancies of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)/ small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL), Richter's transformation, marginal zone lymphoma (MZL), mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), follicular lymphoma (FL), and Waldenström's macroglobulinemia (WM).
The main objective is to compare the effectiveness of dry needling in improving pain and disability versus placebo, and versus infiltration, in patients with myofascial temporomandibular dysfunction in the short, medium and long term.
Scientific knowledge about the COVID-19 pandemic and the virus that is causing it (SARS-CoV-2) is developing rapidly, and the investigators have a clearer idea of the population groups who are at higher risk of becoming infected, having serious illness, and dying. However, less is known about COVID-19 in children, adolescents and young adults living with HIV. It is not yet known whether, or how, HIV affects people's risk of being infected with the virus or becoming ill. This study aims to find out whether children and adolescents living with HIV have had the COVID-19 virus, even if they did not have symptoms and did not realise it at the time. When a person is infected with a virus, their immune system fights the infection. As a result, they produce proteins called antibodies, and it may take a few weeks for enough antibodies to be made to be detected by a blood test. These antibodies may help protect the person from getting the same infection again. This study wants to find out how many children and adolescents living with HIV across Europe and South Africa have antibodies to the COVID-19 virus. It wants to see if the proportion with antibodies is different in younger children compared to older adolescents and young adults, and whether it varies between different countries. Children and adolescents with HIV regularly attend hospital outpatient appointments, and during these appointments blood samples may be taken to monitor their health. This study will invite these patients to be tested for antibodies to the COVID-19 virus during their routine visit. The participants will be asked a few short questions about COVID-19 diagnoses in their household and other risk factors for exposure to the virus, and it will collect information on their HIV, medications and any other illnesses they may have. At their next routine clinic visit, approximately 6 months later, it will test them again for antibodies. Testing twice will let see how the percentage of children, adolescents and young adults with antibodies to the COVID-19 virus has changed over time. In South Africa, HIV-uninfected adolescents from a similar socioeconomic background to those living with HIV and recruited to the study will be invited to join this study, which will allow us to compare the prevalence of antibodies across the two groups. The information from this study will help scientists and healthcare workers care for children, adolescents and young adults living with HIV during the ongoing COVID-19 epidemic in the best possible way. Participants may be given their test results, together with information about what the result means, depending on the usual practice within their clinic.
Multipathological patients with complex health needs are responsible for the majority number of avoidable hospital admissions. The expansion of mHealth interventions in the field of communication with the patient, the reduction of health inequalities, the improvement in access to health resources, the adherence to treatments and self-care of chronic diseases lead to an optimistic horizon . However, there are few applications that demonstrate its effectiveness in these patients, which is diminished when they are not based on evidence, nor are designed by and for users with different levels of health literacy.
The Phase 1 part (Part A) is a dose escalation study of IV visugromab (CTL-002, a monoclonal antibody neutralizing GDF-15) as monotherapy and in combination with an approved checkpoint inhibitor (CPI) in patients with advanced solid tumors. Enrolment into the Ph 1 part is completed. The Phase 2 parts (Part B) are cohort expansions with visugromab (CTL-002) in combination with a defined CPI at a fixed dose into seven different solid tumor indications.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the baseline muscle mass as a predictive biomarker of treatment response in patients with recurrence or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and the neck (SCCHN) treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI)
Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is the most common surgical procedure for morbid obesity. However, it can present serious late complications, like postprandial hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia (PHH). Recent data suggested an increase in intestinal SGLT1 after RYGB. However, there are no data on the inhibition of SLGT1 to prevent PHH in patients with prior RYBG. Objectives: To evaluate in patients that present PHH after RYGB: a) the effect of canagliflozin 300mg on the response to 100g glucose overload (OGTT); b) the pancreatic response after intra-arterial calcium stimulation. Material and methods: Prospective pilot study, including patients with PHH after RYGB, matched by age and gender with healthy controls. Basal OGTT and after 2-weeks of daily 300mg of canagliflozin will be performed. In addition, venous sampling after intra-arterial calcium stimulation of the pancreas will be performed.
