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.
Intragastric balloon degree of efficacy and duration of effect can be variable and unpredictable. The Spatz Adjustable intragastric balloon (AIGB) was developed to extend implantation to 1 year, decrease balloon volume for intolerance and increase volume for diminishing effect. The aim of the study was to determine the utility/efficacy and responder rate with the Spatz3 AIGB.
This is a phase 3, multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CSL112 on reducing the risk of major adverse CV events [MACE - cardiovascular (CV) death, myocardial infarction (MI), and stroke] in subjects with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) diagnosed with either ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) or non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), including those managed with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or medically managed.
In the treatment of localized/locally advanced urothelial cancer, there are several questions that have not yet been resolved, such as the limited benefit of cisplatin-based chemotherapy in the adjuvant or neoadjuvant context, the difficulty in establishing which groups actually benefit from either perioperative treatment and what are the molecular markers that could help us predict the response to this treatment to allow a better selection of patients. On the other hand, not all patients are candidates for cisplatin-based chemotherapy and carboplatin is not comparable in activity, so there is an urgent need to find other drugs that may offer a therapeutic opportunity to these patients. In the context of metastatic disease, immunotherapy has been able to modify the natural history of this disease, administered as monotherapy, but the combination with double immune checkpoint inhibitors is also being evaluated with promising results. Even this therapeutic strategy is being advanced to the context of adjuvant and neoadjuvant treatment of urothelial tumors. In this sense, on the one hand, the present study, as a research in the neoadjuvant setting, constitutes the opportunity to define molecular phenotypes in bladder cancer since the design of this study will allow both, to evaluate the efficacy of the drug when the tumor is operable and to carry out an extensive analysis of biomarkers in the tumor tissue of these patients with an in-vivo evaluation of immune-based therapy activity. On the other hand, it allows to evaluate a strategy of double-immune checkpoint inhibitors that has already demonstrated activity in metastatic disease and, taking into account, the modest benefit of standard chemotherapy in the perioperative context: platinum-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) Modest increase in overall survival, but only a subset of eligible patients are eligible to receive it. In addition, radical cystectomy alone, in MIBC patients, presents a 5-year relapse rate of 10-50%.
This is first-in-man safety and performance feasibility study, aimed to provide initial clinical assessment of safety and effectiveness of the EndoZip in the treatment of obesity.
This is an open-label study to evaluate the long term safety and effectiveness of oral treatment with BCX7353 in preventing acute angioedema attacks in patients with Type I and Type II Hereditary Angioedema (HAE).
Randomized controlled trial with two parallel branches (experimental product and placebo), double blind and unicentric with which it is intended to evaluate the efficacy of the product under investigation against placebo on blood pressure of normotensive subjects or with hypertension grade I without Pharmacotherapy. The subjects that meet the selection criteria will make a total of five visits to the research laboratory and perform the tests that were pre-established in the protocol. Later, a statistical analysis will be carried out with the variables measured in the study to obtain results.
Epithelial ovarian cancer harbours 20% Breast Cancer gene (BRCA)1/2 mutations independently of family history. Poly ADP ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitors (PARPi) have shown clinical activity among patients with homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) and specifically among BRCA1/2 mutation carriers. The European Medicines Agency (EMA) approved the use of olaparib as maintenance therapy "as monotherapy for the maintenance treatment of adult patients with platinum sensitive relapsed BRCA mutated (germline and/or somatic) high-grade serous epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer who are in response (complete response or partial response) to platinum-based chemotherapy". Trabectedin and Pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) have shown relevant activity in relapsed epithelial ovarian cancer. In the relapse with Treatment-free interval of last platinum (TFIp) between 6 and 12 months this efficacy translated into an increase in Overall survival (OS) and Progression free survival (PFS). There is an increase of hypersensitivity reactions (HSR) among platinum sensitive patients, that reaches 44% in third line and does not always allow for platinum use despite desensitization protocols. In relapse with TFIp between 6-12 months the use of Trabectedin+PLD is accepted in guidelines and consensus. Following clinical BRCAness criteria a group of patients that harbours up to 50% of BRCA1/2 mutations can be selected. Olaparib has been licensed according to EMA for maintenance in BRCA mutated patients after response to platinum following Study 19 phase II trial and further confirmed with phase III SOLO-2 data. However there is no evidence of the benefit of adding olaparib after Trabectedin+PLD response among BRCA1/2 carriers. The combination of Trabectedin+PLD, as well as both single drugs, have shown higher activity among BRCA1/2 carriers.
This is a multicenter, international, double-blind study of the administration of mavacamten in participants with symptomatic obstructive HCM (oHCM). Approximately 220 participants will be randomized to receive placebo or mavacamten.
Cardiac denervation is inherent to the arterial switch (ASO) technique for the repair of transposition of the great arteries (TGA) and the long term reinnervation process has not been studied. We sought to describe the reinnervation status of adult patients long after the ASO, to identify areas of myocardial perfusion/innervation mismatch and to assess the relation of innervation status and exercise capacity.
Current diagnostic criteria for Immune ThrombocytoPenia (ITP) are mainly based on the presence of low numbers of platelets, excluding other multiple causes of thrombocytopenia, including immunodeficiencies, constitutional or acquired thrombocytopenia, hypersplenism and clonal hematological disorders such as MDS, disorders lymphoproliferative and acute myeloid leukemia (AML), among others. The analysis complementary tests for the diagnosis of ITP include studies basic systematic hematology, together with autoimmune assays and microbiological tests, while the evaluation of bone marrow is limited to elderly patients and/or patients resistant to treatment. Previous research has described the development of Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) in patients with a previous diagnosis of ITP, and even the presence of MDS associated with genetic background. Therefore, it is conceivable fact that a percentage of cases with clinical signs of ITP in the moment of appearance may actually correspond to the first stages of MDS development in which bone marrow cells are not systematically evaluated in the initial presentation. The anomalous immunophenotypic patterns between multiple compartments of bone marrow cells and peripherally blood (PB) platelets have been characterized through flow cytometry. The flow cytometry currently represents an important complementary tool for diagnosis of MDS that has shown great effectiveness and applicability in the differential diagnosis of non-clonal cytopenias against early MDS and for the detection of stages prior to MDS. Besides, the flow cytometry has made it possible to detect the presence of coexisting features related to MDS in patients with other malignancies hematologic conditions such as multiple myeloma, AML, and lymphocytic leukemia chronic. Therefore, the immunophenotypic analysis of the cells of the bone marrow of patients with ITP at the time of appearance would help to identify the cases that underlie clonal hematopoiesis MDS type. In the present study it is planned a broad characterization immunophenotyping of multiple compartments of bone marrow cells and PB platelets from patients with recently diagnosed ITP and investigate their morphological antecedents, in order to identify those patients who show compatible clonal hematopoietic patterns with MDS evident (or at risk of development), as candidates to receive most appropriate therapeutic methods.
