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 implementation of screening programs for colorectal cancer by screening for fecal occult blood has proven effective in reducing the incidence and mortality from this type of neoplasms. However, to ensure the efficiency of the programs require population participation rates of at least 50%. Experiences in our country show that the population participation is far from this recommended minimum number. Interventions to promote preventive activities in primary care are well received by the population; in the case of colorectal cancer, direct recommendation of primary care professionals to carry out the screening is one of the factors with greatest impact on increasing population participation in such programs. Care overload, circuit design for screening without the direct intervention of primary care professionals and the multiplicity of tasks that they must face, are elements that influence the low recommendation for screening in the target population who consults for any other reason. The introduction of specific reminders in electronic medical record (in widespread use in primary care), as a tool to facilitate and encourage direct referral by physicians and nurse practitioners to perform colorectal cancer screening will mean an increase of at least 10% in participation of the target population, increasing the efficiency of screening programs. The introduction of this new software tool will have good acceptance and increase compliance with recommendations from health professionals.
Primary Objective: To determine the efficacy (as assessed by progression-free survival [PFS]) of vandetanib when compared to placebo in participants with differentiated thyroid cancer that is either locally advanced or metastatic who are refractory or unsuitable for radioiodine therapy. Secondary Objectives: - To determine the efficacy of vandetanib when compared to placebo in this participant population as assessed by efficacy variables including duration of response (DOR), objective response rate (ORR), change in tumour size (TS) and overall survival (OS). - To evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of vandetanib in this participant population and potentially investigate any influence of participant demography and pathophysiology on vandetanib PK. - To demonstrate an improvement in time to worsening of pain (TWP) in participants treated with vandetanib when compared to placebo in this participant population. - To evaluate the safety and tolerability of vandetanib treatment in this participant population.
The purpose of this study is to study the efficacy and security of noninvasive brain stimulation as a new approach for patients with Substance Use Disorders (SUDs) plus other psychiatric conditions like ADHD, Schizophrenia, Bipolar disorder, etc.
This study will assess the efficacy and safety of LCZ696 in comparison to olmesartan in essential hypertensive patients not adequately responsive to olmesartan
A phase III multicenter randomized double blind clinical trial will be conducted. After obtaining written consent the infant will be randomized, during the first two weeks of life, to a study group to receive either 400 IU or 1,000 IU / day of vitamin D to the year of age. Baseline and all follow up visits (2, 6, and 12 months of life) will include anthropometric measurements and a questionnaire about health issues. A blood sample will be obtained at baseline for analysis of 25OH vitamin D, and at 6 and 12 months for analysis of 25 OH vitamin D, and calcium. Healthy term born infants of appropriate size for gestational age will be included. We will need to include 359 children in each group. The primary objective of the study is to decrease the proportion of infants with acute bronchitis during the first year of life by supplementation of 1,000 IU/day vitamin D. Secondary otcomes are: To check that the administration of 1,000 IU/day vitamin D decreases the proportion of infants with upper respiratory tract infections, the proportion of children under one year of age hospitalized for acute bronchiolitis, and the demand on the healthcare system due to respiratory infections and absences from work for parents and achieves a higher proportion of children with adequate blood levels 25 OH vitamin D.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of single-agent regorafenib in the first line treatment of frail and/or unfit for polychemotherapy patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC)
GEICAM/2012-07 is a study phase III, prospective, open, randomized, multicenter and national designed to assess patient preference for intravenous (IV) or subcutaneous (SC) of trastuzumab, and within the SC by the administration through the vial or device self-administration in patients with disseminated breast cancer HER2.
This randomized, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of lebrikizumab in adolescent participants with asthma whose disease remains uncontrolled despite daily treatment with inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) therapy and at least one second controller medication. Participants will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to receive double-blind treatment with either lebrikizumab ('High' or 'Low') or placebo, administered as subcutaneous (SC) every 4 weeks (Q4W) for 52 weeks, in addition to their standard-of-care therapy. This will be followed by an optional 52-week double-blind active-treatment extension. The anticipated time on study treatment is up to 104 weeks. Participants who complete the study to Week 104, discontinue prematurely or decide not to take part in the optional active-treatment extension will transition to the 20-week safety follow-up period.
To assess a new drug, BAY94-8862 given orally at different doses, to evaluate whether it was safe and can help the well being of patients with type 2 diabetes and diabetic nephropathy. These treatment doses were compared to placebo.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that heated, humidified, high-flow nasal cannula (HHHFNC) is superior to hypertonic saline solution (HSS) in the treatment of moderate acute viral bronchiolitis in infants in improving respiratory distress and comfort and reducing length of hospital stay (LOS) and admission to Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU).
