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.
This study (UNITI-1) will compare the effects (both positive and negative) of an initial treatment with ustekinumab to placebo over 8 weeks, in patients with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease who have either failed or could not tolerate at least one TNF-antagonist medications in the past (specifically, infliximab, adalimumab, or certolizumab pegol).
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of study drug (BMS-820836) as compared with continued Duloxetine/Escitalopram in the treatment of patients with treatment resistant depression (TRD).
The aim of this study is evaluated the effect of dietetic supplementation with DHA on human sperm quality, antioxidant capacity and sperm DNA damage.
This single-arm, open-label, multi-center study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of vismodegib (GDC-0449) in patients with locally advanced or metastatic basal cell carcinoma. Patients will receive oral doses of vismodegib 150 mg once daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
The principal objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of temsirolimus use in patients with Renal Cell Carcinoma and Mantle Cell Lymphoma.
This study aims to describe the use of glutamine supplementation in the modulation of inflammatory response in critically ill pediatric patients and to determine if this decrease leads to clinical improvement in morbidity and mortality in these patients. Thus, these patients' diet could be supplemented with glutamine in order to improve their evolution. Hypothesis: From the data obtained in the study of the literature the investigators consider that: Critically ill patients have a deficit of glutamine either because of an increase in its consumption or a decrease in its availability, and therefore blood glutamine levels are low. Critically ill patients have elevated blood levels of pro-inflammatory substances (IL-6). In these patients tissue lesion inhibitors (HSP-70) in the blood are decreased. The administration of glutamine supplements to these patients decreases oxidative stress due to the increase in HSP-70. Inflammation inhibitory substances (IL-10) in the blood are decreased in these patients. The administration of glutamine supplements in these patients increase IL-10 levels. Glutamine supplements decrease the inflammatory response with a decrease in IL-6 levels.
The parameter that best correlates with 5 years disease-free survival (DFS ) in patients (pts) with localized rectal cancer (RC) is the pathological TNM staging (ypTNM) after chemo-radiotherapy (Ch-RT). DFS is 97% in pts with ypT0N0M0 = ypCR and 42% in pts with ypN +. Standard 5-FU Ch-RT achieves 15% of ypCR. The use of IMRT achieves a high proportion of ypCR . This study aimed to demonstrate in a prospective manner the feasibility of personalizing Ch regimen base in TT in combination with IMRT in patients with RC. Secondary objectives included the number of ypCR and safety.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of the DE-PLAN Euskadi program for the primary prevention of type-II diabetes in high-risk population seen in primary care centers (Osakidetza-Basque Health Service) in which such intervention is implemented, compared to usual care control centers.
This study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of brivaracetam in pediatric subjects with epilepsy.
Oropharyngeal dysphagia (OD, swallowing dysfunction) is a major complaint following stroke. Despite its enormous impact on functional capacity, quality of life, and survival, OD is both underestimated and underdiagnosed as a cause of major nutritional and respiratory complications in stroke patients. A recent systematic review on the effects of rehabilitation therapy on OD concluded that although some positive effects were found, the number of studies was small, many of them had methodological problems and there was a need for further research using randomized controlled trials. Transcutaneous electrical stimulation was approved by the FDA as a treatment of dysphagia in June 2001 and is traditionally used to activate pharyngeal muscles through stimulation of peripheral motor nerves (neuromuscular electrical estimulation, NMES). However, their real effectiveness and safety in the treatment of dysphagia is still matter of discussion (Logemann Dysphagia 2007, Ludlow dysphagia 2007) and studies evaluating NMES therapy, present discordant results. On the other hand, in recent years, transcutaneous electrical stimulation is beginning to use as a sensory strategy (Gallas 2010), avoiding muscle contraction during the treatment.Our research strategy includes the assessment of the therapeutic effect of these two main strategies using transcutaneous electrical stimulation on swallow physiology and clinical outcomes of post-stroke dysphagic patients.
