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 this study is to assess the effectiveness of systematic screening for depression in high-risk patient participants in everyday clinical practice. Systematic screening for depression in high-risk patients is recommended to be included as a usual practice but its effectiveness in this context remains controversial. In this study, 35 primary care physicians (PCPs) in Spain were assigned to intervention (receive one day training in depression screening guidelines and use guidelines for six months) and 34 PCPs were assigned to a control group (manage depression in the usual way for six months). There were a total of 525 patient participants with MDD.
This study will examine the pharmacokinetics, safety and efficacy of rIX-FP for the control and prevention of bleeding episodes in children who have previously received factor replacement therapy for hemophilia B.
The duration of antibiotic treatment in community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) lasts about 9-10 days, and is determined empirically. The last North American guideline for CAP recommends using clinical stability criteria as a reference to establish the duration of antibiotic treatment, which would result in about 5 days of antibiotic use for the majority of pneumonia cases. In order to validate this proposal we propose to carry out a randomized multicenter double-blind (until the 5th day) clinical trial with adult CAP patients admitted to 4 hospitals in Euskadi. A control group (with routine treatment) will be compared with an intervention group (antibiotic treatment for at least 5 days, which will be interrupted if temperature is =< 37,8ºC for at least 48 hours and no more than one sign of clinical instability is assessed), with regards to: mortality at 15 days, clinical recovery by days 10 and 30, clinical improvement after days 5 and 10 as evaluated by PRO scales, duration of antibiotic treatment. A non-inferiority dichotomous sequential analysis will be performed (for mortality after 15 days, clinical recovery by day 10 and in follow-up at 30 days, clinical improvement after days 5 and 10, with PRO scales) as well as a superiority analysis for the duration of the antibiotic treatment. A total of 1100 patients will be recruited, following their signed consent, during the inclusion period (18 months). Stability criteria will be measured daily. The rest of the variables will be measured at admission and by telephone on days 10 and 30.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a continuous intravenous (IV) ularitide infusion on the clinical status and outcome of patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF).
Patients who have myocardial injury after noncardiac surgery are at a higher risk of dying than those who do not. One in 10 patients with myocardial injury will die within 30 days of surgery. This risk of death exists up to one year after myocardial injury. There are currently no treatments or guidelines available for heart injury after surgery, but there is evidence that taking a blood-thinner can prevent some of the deaths, both in the short and long-term. The purpose of this trial is to test the effect of two drugs (dabigatran and omeprazole) that may prevent mortality, major cardiovascular complications and major upper gastrointestinal bleeding in patients who have had myocardial injury after noncardiac surgery.
The objective of the study (part A) is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of BAY80-6946 in patients with indolent or aggressive Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, who have progressed after standard therapy. 30 patients will be enrolled to both indolent and aggressive disease group. The objective of the study part B (CHRONOS-1) is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of BAY80-6946 in patients with relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma. 120 patients will be enrolled in the part B of the study. Further objectives are to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and biomarkers. Quality of life will be a further objective of part B of the study. In a cohort of 20 patients (enrolled both in part A and B) an ECG substudy will be performed to assess the potential for cardiac toxicity and QT/QTc interval prolongation of BAY80-6946. After an up to 28-day screening period, eligible patients will start treatment with BAY80-6946 at a dose of 0.8 mg/kg (Part A) and at a dose of 60 mg (Part B). Treatment will be continued until disease has progressed or until another criterion is met for withdrawal from study. An end-of-treatment visit will be performed within 7 days after discontinuation of study treatment. Thirty to 35 days after last study drug administration, a safety followup visit will be performed for the collection of adverse events (AEs) and concomitant medication data. Patients will be contacted quarterly to determine overall survival status up to 4 years after last patient completed treatment. Patients who discontinue study drug for reasons other than disease progression will enter the Active Assessment Follow-up period. The end of study notification to Health Authorities will be based on the completion of the collection of survival data. The efficacy is measured by the decrease in tumor size. Tumor assessments will be done at Screening, every 8 weeks during Year 1, every 12 weeks during Year 2, and every 6 months during Year 3. Blood samples will be collected for pharmacokinetic analysis. Archival tumor tissue and blood samples will be collected for biomarker analysis (mandatory) and for central pathology review (part B), fresh biopsy tissue will also be collected if available.
This is a Phase II study in 2 stages, evaluating BEZ235 plus best supportive care (BSC) versus placebo plus BSC in patients with advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNET) after failure of mTOR inhibitor therapy.
Objective: - To improve health outcomes of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) by influencing disease self-management through lifestyle modification and by helping primary care professionals to improve health care provided to patients. - To assess the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of two complex interventions (education and behavioural modification, independently and conjointly, for primary health care teams (PHCT) and patients and their relatives) to improve the health results in people with T2DM. Methodology: Design: Randomized clinical trial. Setting: Basic healthcare district in Canary Islands. Spain. Subjects: Patients with T2DM, 18-65 years old, without complications. Main measures: HbA1c, rate of patients with properly controlled T2DM. Sample: 2328 patients, 582 per arm. Intervention: G1: Interventions on the patients: Educational and habit modification group program. G2: Intervention on the PHCT: a) Educative intervention to improve the knowledge about the disease and their abilities; b) Computer-based clinical decision support system; c) Feedback of results. G3: Interventions on the patients and the PHCT. G4: Control group. Patients receive only the usual care.
