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 aim of this study is to evaluate the usefulness of a Chlamydia Antibody Test for screening of tubal factor in patients who undergo artificial insemination.
Primary objectives: evaluate the efficacy of noninvasive ventilation (NIV) treatment versus continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and life style modification treatment in Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome (OHS), with PCO2 (first phase) and days of hospitalization (second phase) analyzed as a primary variables and percentage of dropouts for medical reasons and mortality as operative variables. As secondary variables: Measure functional and clinical improvement during sleep and wakefulness, quality of life, echocardiography and the incidence and blood pressure and evolution of cardiovascular events. Objectives secondaries:role of apneogenic sleep events on molecular inflammation, endothelial damage and the genesis of diurnal hypercapnia. Methods:prospective, randomized controlled trial. Patients with OHS will be divided initially into two groups based on their apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) score, >=30 and < 30, using conventional polysomnography. The AHI >=30 group will be randomized to CPAP, NIV or life style modification treatments. The AHI <=30 groups will be randomized to NIV or life style modification treatments. Treatment efficacy at the medium- and long-term will be analyzed by comparing groups. The role of apneic events and leptin in the genesis of daytime alveolar hypoventilation will be analyzed by comparing the daytime PCO2/AHI coefficient between responders and non-responders to CPAP treatment, and the evolution of leptin levels in the four branches of the study. The role of apneic events in metabolic and biochemical alterations and endothelial dysfunction will be analyzed by comparing basal and post-treatment levels of related substances between groups, with and without significant AHI.
The primary objective of this study is to explore the effects of multiple regimens of natalizumab on disease activity and safety in participants with relapsing-remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS).
The purpose of this study is to determine if a combination of an antibiotic plus a corticosteroid is safe and effective in treating middle ear infections in children with ear tubes.
The purpose of this study is to assess whether BMS-817399 in combination with Methotrexate is effective in treating moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis.
This was an open-label, multicenter study in children ≤ 12 years of age with cystic fibrosis (CF) and chronic Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) infection in the lower airways using three 28-day courses of Aztreonam for Inhalation Solution (AZLI) 75 mg three times daily, each followed by 28 days off AZLI. The total treatment duration was to be 6 months.
1. RATIONALE The unique characteristic of our study lies in the attempt to reverse the functional impairment experienced by sarcopenic patients with hip fracture using nutritional intervention. What makes this study different from prior studies is that it will be conducted in a hospital setting, unlike most prior studies, which were conducted in a community setting. The association between muscle mass and strength, inflammatory indices, and functional impairment versus dependence and fragility will also be measured. 2. HYPOTHESIS The hypothesis of our study is that nutritional intervention enriched in metabolites of essential amino acids (beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate) is effective for treating sarcopenia in elderly patients with hip fracture and improves functional level. 3. OBJECTIVES Primary objective is to assess functional improvement after nutritional intervention in sarcopenic patients with hip fracture, as measured using Barthel index. Secondary objectives will include: 1) to show the relationship between metabolic and inflammatory indices and sarcopenia; 2) to show how sarcopenia and its treatment influence the risk of fall; 3) to show muscle mass improvement; 4) to show increased strength; 5) to assess mortality and morbidity. 4. EXPECTED RESULTS The investigators expect to find that the supplemented group experiences throughout the study period a significant improvement in functional status (Barthel index), an increase in muscle mass, and a reduction in fat mass. An increased strength and a reduction in associated complications (falls) are also expected. The investigators hope to be able to show reductions in inflammatory indices and insulin resistance. To conclude, by improving muscle strength and mass the investigators expect to find a reduction in the disability and dependence of this population group.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the addition of tralokinumab to standard asthma medication is effective in the treatment of adults with asthma
RATIONALE: Pazopanib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth or by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. PURPOSE: This randomized phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of pazopanib hydrochloride when given together with paclitaxel and carboplatin in treating patients with refractory or resistant ovarian epithelial cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or peritoneal cancer.
The purpose of this study is to identify specific patient, physician, and health system related factors associated with the progression to a more intensive regimen from initial insulin therapy for patients with type 2 diabetes.
