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 goal of this double-blind clinical trial is to compare the efficacy of octreotide versus placebo in laparoscopic hepatectomy surgery in patients diagnosed with resectable hepatocarcinoma or liver metastases. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Decrease in intraoperative bleeding measured in ml of blood lost. - Decrease in the need for blood transfusion and use of intraoperative vasoactive drugs. Participants will receive octreotide or placebo after signing the informed consent form.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of glofitamab monotherapy compared with an investigator's choice of either rituximab plus bendamustine (BR), or lenalidomide with rituximab (R-Len) in patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
COVID-19 resulted in the largest cohort of critical illness survivors in history, heightened awareness of the importance of the respiratory sequelae after an acute distress respiratory syndrome (ADRS). Despite the advancement of acute-phase ARDS management, it is unknown whether there are differences in the longitudinal recovery trajectories between patients with post-ARDS due to COVID-19 and due to other causes. The main objective of the study is to identify risk factors of pulmonary sequela (lung diffusing capacity) at long-term follow-up in survivors of ARDS. The investigators are also interested in describing the long-term longitudinal recovery trajectories at a multi-dimensional level (symptoms, quality of life, neurocognitive, other lung function parameters, exercise capacity, chest imaging and molecular profiles) of ARDS survivors, and compared between ARDS caused by COVID-19. The ultimate goal is to understand the pathobiological mechanisms associated with a severe lung injury at the long term, allowing the introduction of clinical guidelines for the management of post-ARDS patients and the assignment of personalized interventions.
The present clinical trial aims to examine alternative strategies for preventing/mitigating hypoglycemic events among adults with type 1 diabetes utilizing a highly personalized control system. This system offers two configurable options: a single-hormone configuration with automatic rescue carbohydrate recommendations (sHC) and a dual-hormone configuration with subcutaneously administered glucagon boluses (dHmG). The main question addressed in this study focuses on determining whether the dHmG outperforms the sHC in terms of minimizing the time spent below the target range and number of hypoglycemic events. Each participant will undergo two 12-hour controlled inpatient studies, including each an unannounced 30-min aerobic exercise session and a meal challenge. The order of these studies, comparing the dHmG to the sHC, will be randomized.
This double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, multinational, multicenter, parallel-group, Phase 3, 2-arm, study will investigate the efficacy and safety of belumosudil compared with placebo, both administered on top of azithromycin and standard-of-care regimen of immunosuppression in male or female participants at least 1 year after bilateral lung transplant, who are at least 18 years of age and who have evidence of progressive CLAD despite azithromycin therapy. Study details include: The study duration will be up to 31 weeks for participants not entering the open-label extension (OLE) period and up to 57 weeks for participants entering the OLE period but not the long-term OLE. The treatment duration will be up to 26 weeks for participants not entering the OLE period and up to 52 weeks for participants entering the OLE period but not the long-term OLE. The number of visits will be up to 10 visits for participants not entering the OLE period and up to 16 visits for participants entering the OLE period but not the long-term OLE. For participants who enter the long-term OLE, treatment and study participation will continue with visits every 12 weeks per protocol specifications.
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the most common causes of mortality worldwide. Despite drug eluting stents (DES) are the most common treatment strategy, drug-coated balloons (DCB) represent an appealing alternative to DES as they eliminate the risk of stent thrombosis and do not leave any type of metallic structure in the vessel wall. However, the evidence of the vessel wall healing processes, plaque remodeling, plaque composition and impact on coronary microcirculation after PCI with DCB have not yet been characterized. The purpose of this study is to assess the changes in percentage atheroma volume evaluated by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) in patients undergoing DCB-PCI.
Achilles tendinopathy is the injury that primarily occurs in athletes and people who engage in repetitive activities that involve the calf muscles, such as running, jumping, and sudden acceleration and deceleration movements. To observe the effectiveness of dry needling in the PGM of the gastrocnemius muscle, in the short and medium term, on the intensity of pain in gastrocnemius muscle, in the short and medium term, on pain intensity in patients with patients with Achilles tendinopathy, compared to the application of ultrasound-guided percutaneous electrolysis on the tendon.
This is a study evaluating the safety and efficacy of bomedemstat (MK-3543) compared with the best available therapy (BAT) in participants with essential thrombocythemia (ET) who have an inadequate response to or are intolerant of hydroxyurea. The primary study hypothesis is that bomedemstat is superior to the best available therapy with respect to durable clinicohematologic response (DCHR).
This is a phase III, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center, global study to explore the efficacy and safety of volrustomig in women with high-risk LACC (FIGO 2018 stage IIIC to IVA cervical cancer with lymph node involvement) who have not progressed following platinum-based CCRT.
Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is one of the most common inherited myopathies in adults. It is associated with genetic and epigenetic deregulation of the D4Z4 locus on the sub-telomeric region of chromosome 4q35, resulting in abnormal expression of DUX4p. Type 1 FSHD (FSHD1) is the most common form of the disease and accounts for 95% of cases, while Type 2 FSHD (FSHD2) accounts for only 5% of all FSHD cases. FSHD1 and FSHD2 are closely related in terms of genetic and epigenetic foundations, pathophysiology and clinical manifestations. Although initially described as distinct entities based on their genetics, recent information suggests that both forms of myopathy may represent the opposite ends of a spectrum of molecular diseases in which alteration of the genetic and epigenetic factors that govern DUX4 suppression in skeletal muscle have a different impact in both forms of the disease. FSHD1 and FSHD2 are both associated with re-expression of DUX4 leading to muscle atrophy, but the genetics underlying this re-expression are different, depending on whether it is type 1 or type 2. For FSHD1, it is associated with a critical contraction of the D4Z4 region and the 4qA permissive allele, leading to the expression of DUX4. In contrast, FSHD2 is caused by the inheritance of two independent genetic variations. A heterozygous mutation, mainly located on the SMCHD1 (Structural Maintenance of Chromosome flexible Hinge Domain containing 1) gene, results in a loss of function of chromatin D4Z4 repressor. This mutation, combined with the 4qA allele bearing the DU4 polyadenylation site, makes this allele permissive for the expression of the DUX4 topical gene. Therefore, because the two forms of FSHD are genetically distinct and very few patients have FSHD2, our knowledge of the impact of chromatin D4Z4 repressors, such as SMCHD1, or the progression and severity of the disease remains very limited. It is important to note that a lack of reliable biomarkers specific to the severity and progression of the disease may prevent the development of therapies to treat patients with FSHD2. This study will allow us to better understand the natural progression of FSHD2 over time, to assess the responsiveness of clinical outcome measures (COMs) and to identify and validate inflammatory serum biomarkers predicting the severity and progression of the disease.
