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 main aims of this study are: 1. - to evaluate post-surgical morbidity and mortality outcomes, following the criteria and the definitions from Claven-Dindo and ISGPS international classifications, of the patients operated by the HPB Surgical Unit. 2. - to evaluate survival and disease-free survival rates of the patients operated by the HPB Surgical Unit due to tumoral cause.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of tabelecleucel in participants with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) associated diseases.
Weaning from mechanical ventilation (MV) is a complex process in which patients are liberated from the ventilator. Prolongued weaning and weaning failure, defined as the need for reintubation, have different adverse effects, including prolongation of MV, intensive care unit (ICU) and hospital stay, and are also associated with increased incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia and high mortality. The rate of weaning failure is high, even when the classic extubation criteria are met, so it is necessary to improve scores that allow predicting and determining the ideal time for MV withdrawal. The aim of this study is to design a new multimodal index to predict and optimize weaning results in a personalized way, based on the use and interpretation of data derived from continuous monitoring of critically ill patients. The new multimodal index, in addition to classical respiratory parameters, will include parameters related to patient-ventilator interaction (asynchronies), diaphragmatic function, cardiovascular status and autonomic nervous system function (ANS). The investigators have designed a prospective observational study that will include 126 critical patients from a medical-surgical ICU that meet the classical criteria for weaning. The management of the patients, as well as the weaning process, will be carried out following the usual protocol. In addition to the classical weaning predictor data, data on the patient-ventilator interaction and the function of the autonomic nervous system will be collected by means of specific software (BetterCare). Cardiovascular and diaphragmatic function will be evaluated using ultrasound. Based on the advanced analysis of data from different devices collected throughout the mechanical ventilation period, it will be designed a "personalized" weaning score that should improve the accuracy of the decision-making process and therefore reduce morbidity and mortality. Additional benefits would include lowering health care costs without increasing adverse events.
This study is a first-in-human, Phase 1a/1b, multicenter, open-label study to determine the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of aplitabart as a single agent and in combination in participants with relapsed and/or refractory solid or hematologic cancers, as well as newly diagnosed cancers, and an open-label, randomized study of aplitabart+FOLFIRI+bevacizumab.
Patients diagnosed of COVID-19 disease are randomized to receive a single dose of 100.000 IU of Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D arm) or no vitamin D (on top of the current medication used to treat COVID 19). Clinical, radiological and biochemical outcomes of COVID 19 disease as well as mortality are evaluated.
Background. The recurrence of hemarthrosis in patients with hemophilia favors the development of a progressive, degenerative intra-articular lesion (hemophilic arthropathy). Pain is one of the main clinical manifestations of this arthropathy. Objective. Assess the safety and efficacy of a pain intervention by visualizing movement using an augmented reality mobile application and immersive 360º video, regarding the frequency of bleeding and the improvement in pain perception and quality of life, joint condition , strength and functionality in patients with hemophilic arthropathy. Study design. Randomized, multicenter, single-blind clinical study. Method. 70 patients with hemophilia A and B will be recruited in this study. The patients will be recruited in 5 regions of Spain. The 8 dependent variables will be: frequency of bleeding (self-registration), pain (measured with the visual analog scale and pressure algometer, Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia and Pain Catastrophizing Scale), quality of life (SF-12 scale), anxiety (questionnaire of Anxiety Status-Trait-STAI), joint status (Hemophilia Joint Health Score scale), muscle strength (dynamometer) and functionality (6-Minutes Walking test, Quick Disabilities of the arm, shoulder and hand). Three evaluations will be carried out: pre-treatment, post-treatment and after a follow-up period of 6 months. Expected results. To observe the efficacy of the visualization of movement in the characteristics of pain, and its implication in the functionality, joint state, muscular strength and the perception of quality of life in patients with hemophilic arthropathy.
The aim is to analyze the feasibility and effect of an online Therapeutic Exercise and Education programme (TEEP) in cancer patient and survivors
Safety and Effectiveness Evaluation of Seraph 100 Microbind Affinity Blood Filter (Seraph 100) in the treatment of patients with COVID-19
The aim of the study is to compare two manual therapy techniques. By testing if the Pressure Release of Myofascial Trigger Points technique (PRM) is more effective in treating Myofascial Trigger Points present in the upper trapezius muscle of patients with mechanical cervical pain. This will be compared mainly with another manual therapy technique that presents evidences such as Ischemic Pressure technique (IP), and a control group, through the evaluation of the Visual Analogical Scale (VAS), the Threshold of Pain at Pressure (TPP) and the Northwick Park Questionnaire (NPC) of neck disability, spanish version.
Background: There are no proven therapies specific for pulmonary dysfunction in patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF) caused by infections (including Covid-19). The full spectrum of AHRF ranges from mild respiratory tract illness to severe pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), multiorgan failure, and death. The efficacy of corticosteroids in AHRF and ARDS caused by infections remains controversial. Methods: This is a multicenter, randomized, controlled, open-label clinical trial testing dexamethasone in mechanically ventilated adult patients with established AHRF (including ARDS) caused by confirmed pulmonary or systemic infections, admitted in a network of Spanish ICUs. Eligible patients will be randomly assigned to receive dexamethasone: either 6 mg/d x 10 days or 20 mg/d x 5 days followed by 10 mg/d x 5 days. The primary outcome is 60-day mortality. The secondary outcome is the number of ventilator-free days at 28 days. All analyses will be done according to the intention-to-treat principle.
