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 main aim of this study is to describe how effective and safe the re-treatment of adults with cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) with brentuximab vedotin is. Another aim is to describe treatment patterns of persons with CTCL who have received brentuximab vedotin again. No treatment will be provided during this study. Information already existing in the participants' medical charts will be reviewed and collected.
Cyclophosphamide, administered after the infusion of haematopoietic progenitor cells, is used to prevent graft-versus-recipient disease (GVHD) in patients undergoing allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allogeneic HSCT) and has been shown to reduce the incidence of GVHD. Cyclophosphamide can cause haemorrhagic cystitis as a result of the direct toxicity of its metabolite acrolein to the bladder mucosa or urothelium upon accumulation in the urine. Hyperhydration and the administration of mesna, which forms a non-urotoxic compound with acrolein, are among the most commonly used strategies to prevent this. The administration of cyclophosphamide in the morning is also recommended. The protocol for post-transplant cyclophosphamide states that it should be started at least 72 hours (days +3 and +4) after haematopoietic progenitor infusion, but this interval can be extended to 84 hours (day +3.5). After reviewing the recommendations to reduce the risk of haemorrhagic cystitis, it was recommended to delay the infusion of cyclophosphamide to the early morning of days +4 and +5, although in reality, taking into account the hours since the infusion of haematopoietic progenitors, it would be days +3.5 and +4.5 instead of days +3 and +4 in the afternoon/evening. This change will mean a delay of 12 hours in the start of cyclophosphamide, so the investigators will refer to day +3.5 from the infusion of the haematopoietic precursors.
The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the human body. Movements are carried out in most of the activities we participate in, such as work, sports, household tasks, shopping and leisure activities. Shoulder diseases affect 21% of the western population and is one of the most frequent reasons for consultation in orthopedics and rehabilitation consultations. Shoulder pain is in a large majority of cases related to the slope of the acromion and rotator cuff pathology, which would include the slope of the acromion syndrome. The degree of involvement can range from bursitis, tendinitis, to tendinous ruptures. Initial treatment is usually conservative and may consist of anti-inflammatory medication and rehabilitation. When the pain is not relieved, surgery is usually recommended. Surgery for rotator cuff tears is increasingly performed minimally invasive, using arthroscopy. Hospital admission days are currently being reduced, so many of the scheduled shoulder surgeries are performed via the Outpatient Surgery Unit. Often, users are not seen again by the surgeon until a week after the intervention. The affected person must empower themselves and participate actively and progressively in their recovery process. This process begins right after the surgical intervention. Therefore, it is very important that the person has all the necessary information about the surgical procedure that has been performed. Patient education is crucial to reduce anxiety and optimize surgical outcomes.
The aim of this study is to analyze the effectiveness and efficiency of a multicomponent smoking cessation intervention for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) smokers, including a training protocol on healthy lifestyle habits and self-management of T2DM called "DiMe-SALUD2" project. Overall, 90 patients will be randomly assigned to one of the following conditions: (1) Control Group (waiting list, n = 30), which will only receive brief psychoeducation advice about smoking cessation; (2) Experimental Group 1 - Cognitive-behavioral treatment (CBT) for smoking cessation (n = 30), where a multicomponent cognitive-behavioral program for quitting will be applied; (3) Experimental Group 2 - CBT for smoking cessation + DiMeSALUD2 protocol (n = 30), where the CBT intervention will be applied plus a training protocol on healthy lifestyle habits and self-management of T2DM. The specific goals of this project are: 1. To evaluate the added efficacy of the psychoeducation protocol on healthy lifestyle habits and self-management of T2DM plus the multicomponent cognitive-behavioral program to quit smoking (CBT for smoking cessation + DiMeSALUD2 protocol), compared to the standard application of this multicomponent program and to the control group. 2. To describe the impact of the CBT for smoking cessation + DiMeSALUD2 protocol on different key variables (explained below). 3. To analyze the efficiency or cost-effectiveness of the CBT for smoking cessation + DiMeSALUD2 program, and the feasibility of implementing this program in the public health system of Andalusia (Spain). 4. To transfer the knowledge generated to the main health professionals involved in the treatment of smokers with T2DM, through specialized training and the dissemination of a clinical manual created for this purpose.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy, safety and tolerability of ianalumab in adult patients with primary ITP previously treated with at least one corticosteroid and one TPO-RA.
What the investigators propose. The use of disruptive digital technologies for their potential to improve caregivers training, ensure the adequacy of care and achieve a greater quality of life for recipients; increase the efficiency of interventions to support caregivers, quickly reaching a greater number of people; democratize access to adequate care; dignify the lives of people working in this sector, mostly women; develop a new sector of the economy by promoting the modernization and technification of the sector. The project seeks to place people at the center of interventions while respecting their digital rights. The investigators identify as disruptive technologies those based on recent innovations (such as virtual and augmented reality, artificial intelligence AI) with a high capacity to evolve rapidly, adapting to very different needs and sectors, and a high capacity to generate new business models. These emerging technologies open up new opportunities to improve the well-being of dependent people, provide new skills (including soft ones) to caregivers and would be also useful against gender stereotypes in the caregiving sector.
HOPE Prostate is an observational study that aims at promoting research against metastatic prostate cancer by means of collective research led by patients (patient-centric trial). Patients with metastatic prostate cancer living in Spain will voluntarily register and fulfil their journey in the study through the study's digital tool. Mainly they are prompted to answer questionnaires about their disease, and to provide a blood sample and an archival tumor biopsy. In HOPE Prostate these samples will be genomically analyzed and every patient case will be presented in a multidisciplinary molecular advisory board (MAB). The MAB will issue a plain report explaining the significance of the results and will try to enumerate future therapeutic options that match patient history and his genomic profile. Finally, patients will have to answer short follow-up questionnaires twice a year for 3 years. The study data will allow us to advance implementing precision medicine to improve the management of current and specially future metastatic prostate cancer patients.
Mortality due to cardiovascular disease (CVD) in Spain accounted for 29% of all deaths (32% in women and 26% in men) in 2017. Out of those, 67% were related to a coronary or a cerebrovascular disease . A key strategy in primary prevention of CVD is to use risk functions to individualize preventive interventions for each patient. The current CV risk-screening program in some regions of Spain, is based using an adapted Framingham scale, REGICOR's risk function, which is integrated in the primary care electronic health record. This risk function predicts the probability within 10 years of developing a coronary event. However, this function fails to identify patients that fall into low- or intermediate-risk level, and might develop a CV event in the up following 10 years. Ankle-brachial index (ABI) is a simple, non-invasive and economic technique, which allows detecting peripheral arterial disease (PAD), and gives independent risk function information compared to other coronary risk functions. Even tough, between 13-27% of middle age population have an ABI ≤ 9, around 50-89% of them do not exhibit any symptoms. However, they hold higher mortality risk and CV events. Current clinical guidelines for PAD screening, have a limited level of evidence, and only recommend using ABI on patients aged 50-70, who have diabetes or are smokers, and patients older than 70 years old. A new risk function, REASON, to assess CVD risk has been designed. This model has proven to improve predictive capacity of holding an ABI ≤ 0.9 on those patients aged 50-74 that are apparently free of CVD. Therefore, a strategy that combines the current CV risk estimation using REGICOR, and the prediction capacity of pathologic ABI with REASON, would allow detecting high-risk patients with a PAD screening program. It is possible that patients, who hold an ABI ≤ 0.9, even if being asymptomatic, will adopt physician's recommendations on healthy life habits and preventive treatment. The aims of this study are: - To assess the effectiveness and cost-utility of adding a screening program with ABI to the current strategy of CV risk detection to reduce the incidence of CVD and mortality from all causes in the population aged 50 to 74. - To assess the effectiveness of adding a screening program with ABI to the current strategy of CV risk detection to improve cardiovascular risk factors in the population aged 50 to 74.
This study will assess the safety and efficacy of Single Tremelimumab Regular Interval Durvalumab (STRIDE) as first-line therapy in participants with advanced unresectable HCC.
In dental implant restoration, available literature demonstrates the advantage of using tall abutments, with a change of diameter with respect to the implant and a conical internal connection in the abutment-implant gap. However, for multiple restorations, the abutment-prosthesis connection has not been studied in detail. The "multi-unit" systems, both standard and brand specific, have either a flat or butt joint or an cone. In any case, both are external connection systems. Recently, an internal-type abutment-prosthesis connection system has been developed. Although it is proving its usefulness in single restorations, its use in multiple restorations compared to traditional systems has not been studied. Therefore, taking into account all of the above, the present study has the overall objective of analyzing marginal bone loss (MBL) and adaptation of soft tissues by comparing a multiple prosthesis system of the "external, flat" type versus an external system of the "internal, conical" type.
