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.
Pharmacological treatment of pain due to osteoarthritis of the knee often proves to be inadequate and/or cause intolerable side effects. Arthroplasty of the knee may offer a solution, but waiting lists may be long or certain patients may not be apt for a surgical intervention. Therefore an alternative pain treatment that is effective and has little side effects allowing to offer pain relief to those difficult to manage patients would be an added value in the therapeutic options. We studies the short and long-term effects of radio frequency treatment of the genicular nerves in patients with severe pain due to osteoarthritis of the knee.
Osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee is the most frequent cause of knee pain after the age of 50 years. OA is a joint disease characterised by articular cartilage loss associated with structural changes in the cartilage and adjacent structures. The main symptoms are pain and functional disability. The goals of OA therapy are to decrease pain and maintain or improve joint function. There is evidence that diacerein has both a symptomatic and a structural effect on cartilage, and clinical studies suggest that diacerein therapy significantly decreases OA symptoms when compared to placebo. Diacerein has been shown to inhibit interleukine-1 (IL-1β), and down-regulated IL-1β stimulated secretion of metalloproteinases and aggrecanases, and thereby prevent breakdown of cartilage by these enzymes. Diacerein has no effect on the synthesis of prostaglandins, and therefore no effect on the upper intestinal tract. The purpose of this phase III-IV international, multicentre, double-blind, non-inferiority, randomised, controlled study is to determine the efficacy and safety of diacerein vs. celecoxib on symptoms after 6 months of treatment, and on structural changes after 2 years of treatment in knee OA patients as assessed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Prospective study of sleep disordered breathing in a lung cancer screening cohort.
Study is the first study after commercialization of brivaracetam. It is designed to collect real world information on the effectiveness of brivaracetam in patients with Partial Onset Seizure epislepsy who are treated in standard clinical practice.
Sequential administration of MSCs obtained from adipose tissue is an effective and safe treatment for acute graft versus host disease refractory to first-line treatment. Furthermore the infusion of these cells produces a biological pattern in patients that relates to the clinical response.
An oral highly potent P binder Velphoro is a mixture of polynuclear iron(III) oxyhydroxide, sucrose, and starches. It was well tolerated in the clinical development program. The approved indication in the European Union (EU) is to control serums phosphorus (sP) levels in adult CKD (Chronic kidney disease) patients on HD (Haemodialysis) or PD (Peritoneal dialysis). It is of major interest to observe the drug in daily use outside of controlled trial settings. The Marketing Authorisation Holder wishes to obtain further systematic data within a non-interventional study to investigate short and long-term safety. Effectiveness and Treatment adherence during real-life use will be evaluated.
This is a prospective, observational, multicenter, population-based incidence cohort study which will enroll cases of IBD (CD, UC, or indeterminate colitis) diagnosed in adults over 1 year in Spain. In addition, each incident case that gave his/her informed consent, will be followed up for 12 months to determine changes in phenotype or disease location, the need for immunosuppressive and biologic treatments, and the need for hospital admissions and surgery during the first year after diagnosis.
This is a multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial involving subjects with a diagnosis of "definite NASH" with fibrosis (excluding cirrhosis) as determined by the central histopathologist. Upon successful screening, subjects will be randomized to receive either emricasan 50 mg BID or emricasan 5 mg BID or matching placebo BID.
This is a multicenter, open-label, Phase 1/2 study to determine the recommended dose and regimen of durvalumab in combination with lenalidomide (LEN) with and without dexamethasone (dex) in adults with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM). The study will consist of a dose-finding phase as well as a parallel dose-expansion phase to determine the optimal regimen. ****************************************************************************** The study was placed on full clinical hold by the United States (US) Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on 05 Sep 2017. The decision by the FDA was based on data from non-Celgene-sponsored studies related to risks of anti-programmed cell death 1 (PD-1), pembrolizumab, in combination with immunomodulatory agents. As the result, the study was closed for further enrollment, and all subjects were discontinued from all study treatments (durvalumab, lenalidomide and dexamethasone). All subjects are being followed for second primary malignancies (SPMs), every 6 months for 5 years after the last subject has been enrolled as per protocol. After stopping data collection in the clinical database, any SPM events will continue to be recorded in the subject's source documents, and reported to Celgene Drug Safety.
Octreotide capsule is a novel, orally-administered formulation of the commercially-available injectable drug octreotide. In a recent phase 3 trial (OPTMAL; NCT03252353), oral octreotide capsules demonstrated sustained biochemical response up to 13 months in patients with acromegaly previously managed with somatostatin analog injections (ref). The objective of this study was to compare the efficacy, safety, and patient reported outcomes (PROs) between oral octreotide capsules and injectable somatostatin receptor ligands (SRLs).
