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.
Nasotracheal intubation is usually required in oral surgery to allow an unrestricted surgical approach. The standard method is generally performed using the Macintosh laryngoscope supported by Magill forceps. However, it is recommended to perform awake tracheal intubation in situations where a difficult airway is predicted, a scenario where this technique may be poorly tolerated by the patient. Although fibreoptic intubation is considered the "gold standard", sometimes it is difficult to perform and,therefore, alternatives are necessary. The hypothesis is that optical laryngoscopes as the Airtraq nasotracheal and Mcgrath can improve the time and/or success of nasotracheal intubation in a manikin.
The aims of this study are: - to assess the impact of TOOKAD® Soluble-Vascular Targeted Photodynamic Therapy (VTP) on the rate of absence of definite cancer using patients on active surveillance as a comparison (co-primary objective A) and - to determine the difference in rate of treatment failure associated with observed progression of disease from low risk prostate cancer to moderate or higher risk prostate cancer in men who undergo TOOKAD® Soluble-VTP compared to men on active surveillance (co-primary objective B).
The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of testosterone,estradiol and a combined treatment with estrogens/progestagens prior to IVF-ICSI in previously diagnosed low responder patients.
Study hypothesis: Treatment with dasatinib 100 mg QD is safe and efficacious when given to patients with Ph+ ALL in the post SCT setting.
The purpose of this study is to determine if combination therapy with Pegylated Interferon Lambda (BMS-914143) plus Ribavirin (RBV) with a single direct antiviral agent (BMS-790052 or BMS-650032) for 24 weeks is effective and safe for treatment of Chronic Hepatitis C (CHC) compared to current standard therapy with Pegylated Interferon Alpha-2a plus RBV for 48 weeks.
The purpose of the study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the emtricitabine (FTC)/rilpivirine (RPV)/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) single-tablet regimen (STR) compared with the efavirenz (EFV)/FTC/TDF STR in HIV-1 infected adults who had not previously received treatment with antiretroviral medications. Participants were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive one of the study treatments. Randomization was stratified by HIV-1 RNA level (≤ 100,000 copies/mL or > 100,000 copies/mL) at screening. A treatment duration of 96 weeks was planned, with the option for subjects in FTC/RPV/TDF STR arm to receive treatment following the Week 96 visit until FTC/RPV/TDF STR is commercially available or until Gilead Sciences elects to terminate development in that country.
BACKGROUND: Mediterraneans have traditionally a low cardiovascular risk, although emerging lifestyles might change the trend. The aim of this study is to assess if hypercholesterolemic patient involvement in the preventive decision with the help of a decision aid has an impact on cardiovascular (CV) risk reduction superior to usual care. METHOD: The design is a cluster randomised clinical trial. Participants are hypercholesterolemic patients (>200 mg/dl or c-LDL>130) from four primary care teams of Barcelona. Patients with previous CV events, age over 75 years or cognitive impairment are excluded. It is expected to create two cohorts of 139 patients each one. The randomisation is by doctor. Intervention group will receive information about their CV risk and the risk and benefits of different preventive measures. They will have access to a decission aid that will help them in the choice of the preventive measures.The material (printed and software) is adapted to the Catalan Population using local CV risk tables and will meet the CREDIBLE and DISCERN criteria. STUDY VARIABLES: Sociodemographic variables, CV risk factors, subjective health (SF 12), decisional conflict, anxiety/depression, analytic controls, treatment, treatment adherence, compliance and resources use. Basal evaluation and 3, 6, 12 month assessment. The study, financed by FIS, will begin the 01-07-2007. RESULTS: The expected results are a higher reduction on the CV risk factors in the intervention group versus regular care. CONCLUSIONS Study will provide a tool to be used in Spanish and Catalan population.
Primary Objective: - To demonstrate the non inferiority in term of overall survival (OS) of cabazitaxel 20 mg/m² (Arm A) versus cabazitaxel 25 mg/m² (Arm B) in combination with prednisone in patients with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (MCRPC) previously treated with a docetaxel-containing regimen. Secondary Objectives: - To evaluate safety in the 2 treatment arms and to assess if cabazitaxel 20 mg/m² is better tolerated than cabazitaxel 25 mg/m². - To compare efficacy of cabazitaxel at 20 mg/m² and 25 mg/m² for: - Progression Free Survival (PFS) defined as the first occurrence of any of the following events: tumor progression per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST), PSA progression, pain progression or death due to any cause - Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA)-Progression - Pain progression - Tumor response in patients with measurable disease (RECIST 1.1). - PSA response - Pain response in patients with stable pain at baseline. - To compare Health-related Quality of Life (HRQL) - To assess the pharmacokinetics and pharmacogenomics of cabazitaxel
Primary Objective: - To demonstrate the superiority of cabazitaxel plus prednisone at 25 mg/m^2 (Arm A) or 20 mg/m^2 (Arm B) versus docetaxel plus prednisone (Arm C) in term of overall survival (OS) in participants with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) and not previously treated with chemotherapy. Secondary Objectives: - To evaluate safety in the 3 treatment arms. - To compare efficacy of cabazitaxel at 20 mg/m^2 and 25 mg/m^2 to docetaxel for: - Progression Free Survival (PFS) (RECIST 1.1) - Tumor progression free survival (RECIST 1.1) - Tumor response in participants with measurable disease (RECIST 1.1), - PSA response - PSA-Progression free survival (PSA-PFS). - Pain response in participants with stable pain at baseline - Pain progression free survival - Time to occurrence of any skeletal related events (SRE) - To compare Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQL). - To assess the pharmacokinetics and pharmacogenomics of cabazitaxel.
The purpose of this trial is to assess the safety and efficacy of the Nile PAX® Drug Eluting Coronary Bifurcation Stent System for the treatment of single de novo bifurcation lesions in native coronary arteries with a main branch reference vessel diameter of 2.5-3.5 mm and side branch reference vessel diameter of 2.0-3.0 mm.
