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 aim of this study is to describe the morphology, size distributions and specific markers of the different vesicles populations present in the human endometrial fluid. To further characterize the vesicles populations, contents of these membrane compartments (i.e.: DNA, RNA, proteins, lipids and other small metabolites) will be assessed by using mass spectrometry and next generation sequencing techniques. The objective here is to relate a specific vesicles composition to the moment of the cycle, to a normal physiological endometrial function and to the transmission of functionalities from the mother to the embryo.
The main objective of this qualitative phenomenological study is to understand the impact of chemotherapy-induced alopecia, the quality of life of women with breast cancer from this experience. The study will be conducted in the day hospital oncology-hematology of the Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau. Data collection will be done through semi-structured interviews. About 12 to 14 interviews throughout the study was conducted. So in the study involved a total of between 12 and 14 women. These will be recorded in voice and then transcribe and code. From reading and re-reading the patterns or data that relate to each other, thus establishing the categories (thematic analysis) were identified. These categories describe the experiences of the participants alopecia.
The current state of mobile communication and technology is a tool to support home programs for chronic disease management, useful to facilitate access to these types of programs, because the investigators could obtain telematics information about the parameters, reducing cardiovascular risk factors and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.
The objective of this Phase II trial is to evaluate the feasibility of this study protocol to progress to a large-scale Phase III RCT in the future. It will also determine, with limited efficacy, the effectiveness of the multisensory stimulation intervention protocol to reduce the duration of post-traumatic amnesia (PTA), improve cognition, increase independence in activities of daily living and long term quality of life of the affected person. Participants will be randomised into either the experimental or control group. The experimental group will follow the multisensory stimulation intervention protocol, while the control group will follow the current hospital protocol.
Prospective study to test whether the immunochemical fecal occult blood test (FIT) for colorectal cancer (CRC) helps to prioritize patients with iron deficiency anemia for colonoscopy.
Predictive biomarkers are needed to identify those patients with higher risk of recurrence after surgery for colon cancer with curative intent. Our main objective is to determine a metabolite profile in blood plasma from patients operated from colorectal cancer that can be associated with the oncologic outcome and be validated as predictive biomarkers in future studies. A secondary objective is to study the glycolytic metabolism of colon cancer cell lines treated with plasma samples from the same patients. In particular, to validate the increased utilization of lactate by tumor cells as a metabolic substrate using postoperative human samples. Patients with colorectal cancer that have undergone surgical resection will be included. Plasma samples will be obtained before surgery and the 4th day and the 3rd, 6th, 12th, and 18th months after surgery. Metabolic profiles in plasma samples will be determined using a kit that allows the quantification of 180 metabolites by mass spectrometry. A clinical follow up will be maintained for at least 2 years to identify tumor recurrences.
Actually, our center is doing the prenatal determination of RhD fetal genotype in all RhD negative pregnant women. The investigator want to demonstrate that this is an useful and efficient method.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the beneficial effect of a mixture of vegetal oils with a composition related to short, medium and long unsaturated chain fatty acids on patients with a diagnose of cognitive impairment or mild to moderate Alzheimer disease
The main objective of the study is to demonstrate the non-inferiority of the personalized Neurofeedback Training device versus Methylphenidate in the treatment of children and adolescents with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder.
The iPROVE-O2 trial aims at comparing the efficacy of high and conventional FiO2 within a perioperative individualized ventilatory strategy to reduce the overall incidence of SSI.
