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 purpose of the study is to compare the efficacy, safety and tolerability of aclidinium bromide/formoterol fumarate and salmeterol/fluticasone propionate in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
This trial is conducted in Asia, Europe and North America. The aim of the trial is to investigate the efficacy and safety of switching from sitagliptin to liraglutide in subjects with type 2 diabetes not achieving adequate glycaemic control on sitagliptin and metformin.
Critically ill patients feature a loss of fat-free mass (FFM) up to 440 g/day, which is associated with increased morbidity and prolonged recovery. In several clinical conditions, FFM or phase angle (PhA)derived from BIA have been associated with clinical outcome. However, solid data to support this association in ICU patients are lacking. Only one retrospective study of 51 ICU patients with acute respiratory failure correlated loss of active cell mass with mortality. In a pilot study performed in 55 ICU patients, the investigators observed that five kHz BIA PhA was significantly related to SOFA (r=0.38, P=0.03). The relation between PhA and mortality remains to be determined in ICU patients. Classic ICU validated severity scores (e.g. Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE), Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA), Simplified Acute Physiology Score (SAPS)) and recent nutritional scores have been developed to foresee the clinical outcome of ICU patients. Most of these scores are time consuming and suffer some degree of discriminative power (i.e. APACHE II and SAPS II are not validated in cardiovascular surgery patients). PhA is reflecting intracellular status: altered intracellular water (ICW) to extracellular water (ECW) distribution is suggested by low PhA. PhA measurement does not require anamnestic parameters, body weight, and lab tests. It could easily, accurately and repeatedly measured at bedside. PhA has been correlated with the disease prognosis in HIV infection, hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, chronic renal failure and liver cirrhosis patients. These studies suggest that PhA may be useful in determining increased risk of morbidity in the ICU. Computerized tomography (CT) images targeted on the 3rd lumbar vertebrae (L3) could accurately measure FFM13 and predict survival in cancer patients. Body composition evaluation by CT presents great practical significance due to its routine ICU use in the initial diagnosis or follow-up. The usefulness of measuring FFM with L3-targeted CT has never been evaluated in ICU patients. Therefore, the investigators aim to conduct an international multicentre prospective observational study in ICU patients to assess the prognosis value of BIA PhA at admission, and to compare the performances of BIA and L3-targeted CT for FFM measurement.
This cross-sectional epidemiologic study measured physician and patient awareness and understanding of the key messages in the Xarelto prescriber guide and Xarelto patient alert card.
The aim is to test the hypothesis that high-resistance training for 8 weeks, following the recommendations for healthy adolescents, is capable of eliciting increases in muscle strength, agility, skeletal muscle mass, and functional capacity without losing weight, body mass index (BMI) or fat mass in anorexia nervosa restricting type patients. Further, we hypothesize that the effects produced by the high-resistance training program will be maintained 4 weeks following the completion of the training program.
This multicenter, open-label, single-arm study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of obinutuzumab alone or in combination with chemotherapy in participants with previously untreated or relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). This is a Post-Authorization Safety Study. Participants will receive 6 cycles of single-agent obinutuzumab or obinutuzumab in combination with chemotherapy at the investigator's discretion. Each participant will be followed until 30 months after the last participant has been enrolled. Total length of the study is anticipated to be approximately 5 years.
This open-label, multicenter study will evaluate the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and safety of subcutaneously administered tocilizumab in participants with Systemic Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (sJIA). Participants with body weight less than (<) 30 kilograms (kg) will receive subcutaneous (SC) tocilizumab dose every 2 weeks (Q2W) and participants with body weight greater than or equal to (>=) 30 kg will receive weekly (QW), for 52 weeks. Tocilizumab was administered every 10 days until pre-planned interim analysis was performed and changed to Q2W in participants with body weight <30 kg.
This open-label, multicenter study will evaluate the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and safety of subcutaneously administered RoActemra/Actemra (tocilizumab) in patients with polyarticular-course juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Patients will receive RoActemra/Actemra subcutaneously every 2 or 3 weeks for 52 weeks.
This study aims to evaluate the analgesic efficacy of single and repeated doses of fixed combination of dexketoprofen trometamol (DKP) and tramadol hydrochloride (TRAM) in comparison to the single agents (and placebo for the single dose phase only). Approximately 600 female patients presenting moderate to severe pain after a total/subtotal abdominal hysterectomy are eligible to be randomised provided that they experience moderate to severe pain on the day after surgery.
Previous studies in human and different mammals have proved that the embryo group culture (in the same culture medium drop) using a reduced volume is associated with a better embryo development. This is due to the effect of different autocrine and paracrine factors secreted by the embryos. Besides, previous studies with embryos from human and other mammals have shown that a high oxygen concentration may have a negative effect on embryo quality due to the generation of reactive oxygen species, which cause oxidative stress. The embryo culture at low oxygen tension is correlated to better success rates in IVF/ICSI treatments. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the combined effect of the embryo group culture and the low oxygen tension on the embryo development and the results of the IVF/ICSI treatments. The specific goal is to compare the embryo group culture in a reduced volume of medium at a low oxygen tension (5%) with the standard individual culture at an atmospheric oxygen tension (20%). The first culture condition will be applied in a K-MINC incubator (COOK Medical®), whereas the second condition will be applied using a Heracell incubator (Heraeus®).
