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 Diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome in patients presenting with acute chest pain is problematic when both, electrocardiogram and serum troponins are normal. Multidetector row computed tomography angiography (CTA) allows direct and rapid non-invasive visualization of coronary artery disease. The investigator's aim is to assess the diagnostic accuracy and safety of a novel diagnostic strategy based on MDCT as compared to a strategy using stress echocardiography in the workup of patient with chest pain, normal electrocardiogram, normal troponins and suspected coronary artery disease. Additionally, the cost associated with both strategies will be compared. Methods. A total of 150 patients with acute chest pain coming to the emergency room with intermediate probability of significant coronary artery disease, normal ECG and troponins will be prospectively randomized to MDCT or stress echocardiography with exercise. Patients showing coronary stenosis >50% at MDCT or abnormal stress echocardiography or inconclusive results will be admitted for further study. The primary endpoint of the study is the detection of an acute coronary syndrome, defined as typical or atypical angina with documented significant coronary artery disease (>50% stenosis) on invasive coronariography, a positive stress test or the occurrence of cardiac death, myocardial infarction or need for revascularization during 6 month follow-up. All MDCT angiograms and echocardiograms will be evaluated by an experienced radiologist and cardiologist.
This was a two-arm, randomized, double-blind Phase III study of dabrafenib in combination with trametinib versus two placebos in the adjuvant treatment of melanoma after surgical resection. Patients with completely resected, histologically confirmed, BRAF V600E/K mutation-positive, high-risk [Stage IIIa (lymph node metastasis >1 mm), IIIb or IIIc] cutaneous melanoma were screened for eligibility. Subjects were randomized to receive either dabrafenib (150 milligram (mg) twice daily [BID]) and trametinib (2 mg once daily [QD]) combination therapy or two placebos for 12 months.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate end of shelf-life potency in terms of the immunogenicity and safety of GSK Biologicals' trivalent MMR vaccine, by comparing it to Merck & Co., Inc.'s MMR vaccine, which is approved for use in the United States (US).
The overall objective is to evaluate the long-term efficacy, safety and tolerability of repeated Lamazym i.v. treatment in patients 5-21 years of age with alpha-Mannosidosis
It has been evidenced that chocolate and cocoa consumption increase vasodilation and reduce blood pressure. However, the mechanisms implicated in these effects have not been elucidated yet. The purpose of this study is to evaluate changes in gene expression induced by the administration of a polyphenol-rich cocoa extract in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) in humans.
The purpose of this study is to determine the prevalence of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and abdominal aortic atheromatosis (AA-At) using a hand-held ultrasound by a general practitioner in Primary Health Care.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of minor variations in Incisionless Operating Platform (IOP)procedural techniques on gastric emptying, hormone levels, satiety, and weight loss in the treatment of primary obesity. It will confirm, in an open prospective study, the action mechanisms for the "POSE" endoscopic treatment technique for obesity, and it will help determine if they are maintained at least 6 months following the procedure. Durability of weight loss will be tracked through post-POSE visits up to 18 months following the procedure.
Recently, an uncalibrated minimally invasive Pulse-code Modulator (PCM) has been developed: the MostCare system. This monitoring system is powered by Pressure Recording Analytical Method (PRAM), which is based on the mathematical analysis of the arterial pressure profile changes. It allows beat-to-beat Stroke Volume (SV) assessment from the pressure signal recorded invasively in radial, brachial, or femoral arteries. The most innovative features of this method are: 1) the lack of a calibration requirement, 2) the analysis of the arterial wave signal is performed at 1000 Hz, 3) a dedicated arterial catheter-transducer is unnecessary. MostCare is powered by PRAM (Pressure Recording Analytical Method) algorithm. The investigators primary end-point was to evaluate the relationship between Cardiac Output (CO) measured by MostCare with CO calculated with Echo-Doppler in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients under different clinical conditions. As a secondary end-point the investigators evaluated the relationship between CO measured by MostCare with CO obtained with thermodilution techniques (standard bolus thermodilution or transpulmonary thermodilution, i.e. PiCCO system). This is a prospective multicentre observational study.
This is the first human treatment with PRX-102, an enzyme being developed as a long-term enzyme replacement therapy in patients with a confirmed diagnosis of Fabry disease (alpha galactosidase deficiency). The safety, tolerability, and exploratory efficacy will be evaluated in this study of increasing doses. Patients will be treated with infusions every two weeks for 12 months.
