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.
Understand the dynamics of elimination of MRD in adult patients with standard-risk LAL treated with a pediatric protocol.
Prostate cancer is the most frequently diagnosed non-skin cancer, and the second leading cause of men cancer death in the United States. Hormonal therapy remains a first-line treatment for metastatic prostate cancer. Initial responses to hormonal therapy with chemical or surgical castration are quite favorable, however, most patients will progress to a castration-resistant phase of the disease. Docetaxel is the primary chemotherapeutic option for patients with mCRPC. Abiraterone is a novel, selective, irreversible, and potent inhibitor of 17-[alpha]-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase (CYP17) enzymatic activity that has recently been demonstrated to further reduce testosterone levels in the blood to undetectable range (< 1 ng/dL) and is suggested to reduce de novo intratumor androgen synthesis. Abiraterone demonstrated activity in castration resistant prostate cancer patients previously treated with docetaxel chemotherapy. Recently, results of a phase III trial comparing abiraterone plus prednisone vs placebo plus prednisone in asymptomatic and without visceral metastasis, castration-resistant metastatic prostate cancer patients, demonstrated a better radiological progression free survival for abiraterone treated patients and a trend towards a better survival was clear for abiraterone treated patients. No clinical evidence exists about efficacy of chemotherapy and antiandrogen therapy combination. All trials have been performed in patients in which LHRH agonist treatment was continued although there is not clear evidence about efficacy of hormonal treatment. Some retrospective studies suggest that androgen deprivation treatment should be maintained in chemotherapy treated patients. Abiraterone has been proved to suppress androgen levels to negative values, and to add efficacy to castration hormonal therapy. Combination of abiraterone with docetaxel chemotherapy seems promising adding efficacy to only docetaxel chemotherapy. A randomized phase II study comparing docetaxel + prednisone + abiraterone to docetaxel + prednisone in mCRPC in patients treated previously with abiraterone, seems promising to explore addition of efficacy to taxotere after abiraterone hormonal treatment.
To assess the fraction of subjects surviving with good neurological outcome at 90 days for 3 different levels of hypothermia, in comatose survivors from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
Immunomodulatory therapies to treat the relapsing-remitting phase of multiple sclerosis (MS) are designed to ameliorate the inflammatory processes that mediate the damage to the central nervous system (CNS) and to delay progression of the disease. To date, there is no effective means to stop the progression of disease and induce remyelination. Adult stem cells therapy show great promise and is rapidly developing as alternative therapeutic strategy. We propose the use of bone marrow-derived autologous Mesenchymal (BM-MSC) Stem Cells transplantation to treat patients with relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS), despite immunomodulatory therapy. Taking advantage of the potential that MSC possess strong immunomodulatory properties thought to play a role in the maintenance of peripheral tolerance and in the control of autoimmunity and that may stimulate repair and regeneration of lesions, we plan a trial of a single injection of autologous BM-MSC into eight patients. First, we aim to assess the feasibility, safety and tolerability of autologous MSC therapy in RRMS. Second, we plan to evaluate the effects of BM-MSC transplantation on MS disease activity by clinical, neurophysiological, immunological and imaging assessments. Autologous MSC will be obtained from bone marrow aspirates, purified by culture and characterized by surface antigen expression. A single dose of autologous BM-MSC will be injected intravenously. Clinical, neurological and immunological assessments will be scheduled at baseline (before BM-MSC transplantation) at 1, 3, and 6 months after transplant. The imaging will be performed at 3 and 6 months after transplant. Proposed trial will enable us to ascertain whether autologous BM-MSC transplantation is a feasible and safe procedure, and whether BM-MSC can establish an environment of immune tolerance and through the local production of neurotrophic/growth factors, might induce neuroprotection and improvement in CNS function.
This study is conducted in Europe, and North and South America. The aim of this study is to provide additional documentation of the immunogenicity, and obtain additional clinical data, of turoctocog alfa in the setting of normal clinical practise in patients previously treated with a factor VIII agent (FVIII).
As the population continues to age, the prevalence of spinal deformity surgery for older patients is increasing. Questions regarding the suitability of these patients to undergo large spinal procedures and whether the outcomes merit the risks involved are not well known.
Hypothesis: Administration of corticoids (dexamethasone) together with the conventional antibiotherapy in the acute phase of a febrile urinary tract infection could reduce the risk of renal scarring after 6 months of the primo-infection. Primary objectives:To evaluate the reduction in incidence of renal scarring after 6 months of a acute pyelonephritis between the control group (conventional therapy plus placebo) and intervention group (conventional therapy plus dexamethasone. Design: Multicentre randomized clinical trial,placebo controled, including children between 2 months and 14 years with a acute pyelonephritis proven by a acute phase DMSA (dimethylsuccinic acid ). A total of 180 children in to parallel groups (intervention and placebo) will be included.
This was a Phase II, open-label, non-randomized, multi-center study of oral dabrafenib in combination with oral trametinib in subjects with rare cancers harboring the BRAF V600E mutation including anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC), biliary tract cancer (BTC), gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST), low grade (WHO G1/G2) glioma (LGG), high grade (WHO G3/G4) glioma (HGG), non-seminomatous germ cell tumors (NSGCT) / non-germinomatous germ cell tumors (NGGCT), adenocarcinoma of the small intestine (ASI), hairy cell leukemia (HCL) and multiple myeloma (MM).
This is an extension study to evaluate the safety of Veliparib monotherapy or in combination with Carboplatin plus Paclitaxel or modified Folinic Acid/Fluorouracil/Irinotecan (FOLFIRI) in subjects with solid tumors.
The present proposal has the objective to assess whether the addition of autologous ex vivo expanded mesenchymal stromal cells (XCEL-M-ALPHA) to the conventional meniscal injury rehabilitation program is contributing in creating the proper healing environment for the meniscus repair. For this purpose, 20 patients will be randomized (10 per group) to one of the two treatment arms (rehabilitation + xcel-m-alpha or rehabilitation alone) . The conduction of this clinical trial will, in addition of having the aim of improving the patient's quality of life, contribute to consolidate an emerging new type of therapy which is still under development.
