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 project objective is to evaluate the efficacy of the neoadjuvant treatment with bevacizumab, capecitabine and radiotherapy, in patients with rectal adenocarcinoma resectable locally advanced (stage T3 or T4), with or without presence of ganglionar metastases and without distant metastases.
An observational cohort study on safety and efficacy of the 220 mg dose Pradaxa to generate additional data in predefined sub populations of patients at increased risk of bleeding or VTE
This study assessed the efficacy and safety of indacaterol (150 µg once daily [od]) when combined with tiotropium (18 µg od) versus tiotropium (18 µg od) treatment alone in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
This single-arm study assessed the efficacy and safety of first-line treatment with Avastin (bevacizumab) in combination with taxane-based chemotherapy (paclitaxel and gemcitabine) in patients with HER-2 negative breast cancer. Patients received Avastin 10 mg/kg iv, paclitaxel 150 mg/m^2 iv, and gemcitabine 200 mg/m^2 iv on Day 1 and Day 15 of each 4-week treatment cycle until disease progression, death, or withdrawal of consent.
This study compares indacaterol with tiotropium in terms of bronchodilation over 52 weeks
Phase III Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer
The purpose of this study is to determine whether activation of a prodrug after intratumoral gene transfer is safe in humans, and to determine dose levels for further clinical development.
The investigators aim to demonstrate that spirometry performed "on line" with a technician in a remote place from the patient has the same efficacy as the one performed personally. As a previous study the investigators analyzed the inter-observer agreement between two pulmonary function technicians from both centers taking part in the study: San Pedro de Alcántara Hospital (Cáceres) and Carlos III hospital (Madrid). The main study will be broad (226 patients derivates from primary care to pneumology consultation), prospective, aleatorized, crossed, blind and controlled. The patients will be aleatorized in two groups: 1) personal spirometry: performed in a conventional way; 2) telematic spirometry: performed remotely "on line". The same pulmonary function technician, who will carry out the spirometries personally, will be located in a nearly room. The technician will control the computer office and the spirometer software in the patients's room with another computer. By means of teleconference, the technician will indicate the patient to start the maneuver. After 20 minutes from the end of the first spirometry, the patients will complete the protocol of the following group. The mean values of FVC, FEV1 and FEV1/FVC, the mean time of spirometry performance, the mean number of spirometric maneuvers performed, are compared between both groups by t proof for paired data. The comparison of the percentage of proofs with non acceptability or reproducibility criteria will be made by X2 test. The analysis will be made blindly. The inter-observer and intra-observer agreement will be evaluated by analysis of intraclass correlation for FVC and FEV1 values.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of fondaparinux in comparison with a heparin (nadroparin) in preventing deep vein thrombosis (blood clots in the leg veins), whether symptomatic or detected by ultrasound, and pulmonary embolism (blood clots that migrate to the lungs) in patients with leg injuries below the knee that require a cast or other type of immobilization but not surgery.
Primary objective of the study's Safety run-in: - To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of cilengitide in combination with cetuximab, and platinum-based chemotherapy (cisplatin/vinorelbine or cisplatin/gemcitabine). Primary objective of the study's Randomization Part: - To assess the efficacy of cilengitide in combination with cetuximab and platinum-based chemotherapy (cisplatin/vinorelbine or cisplatin/gemcitabine) compared to cetuximab and platinum-based chemotherapy alone in terms of progression-free survival (PFS) time. Study design and plan: This is a multicenter, open-label, randomized, controlled Phase II study with a safety run-in part in subjects with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). During the safety run-in, the regimen was intensified stepwise by cohort (cilengitide intravenous [i.v.] 1000 milligram [mg] to 2000 mg twice a week) in a classical 3+3 subjects (for each platinum-based chemotherapy regimens separately) approach with predefined dose- and schedule reduction rules. In the safety run-in 12 subjects were included and evaluated for safety and feasibility of different escalating doses of cilengitide administered twice weekly in combination with cetuximab, cisplatin and vinorelbine or gemcitabine. After completion of the safety run-in, the randomized part will be started, during which all subjects will receive cetuximab and platinum-based chemotherapy (cisplatin/vinorelbine or cisplatin/gemcitabine). Subjects will be centrally randomized on a 1:1 basis to either Group A or C; Group B will be closed with implementation of Amendment No. 4 (dated 20 December 2010): • Group A: Cilengitide 2000 mg once weekly (Days 1, 8, and 15 of every 3-week chemotherapy cycle) in combination with cetuximab and platinum-based chemotherapy that will consist of the following: - Cetuximab once weekly (Days 1, 8, and 15), plus cisplatin on Day 1 and vinorelbine on Days 1 and 8 of every 3-week chemotherapy cycle, or - Cetuximab once weekly (Days 1, 8, and 15), plus cisplatin on Day 1 and gemcitabine on Days 1 and 8 of every 3-week chemotherapy cycle. The decision which of the 2 chemotherapy regimens will be applied for a given subject is at the discretion of the treating investigator. • Group B: Cilengitide 2000 mg twice weekly (Days 1, 4, 8, 11, 15, and 18 of every 3-week chemotherapy cycle) in combination with cetuximab and platinum-based chemotherapy as described for Group A. Group B will be closed with implementation of Amendment No. 4 (global, dated 20 December 2010). Subjects randomized to Group B before implementation of Amendment No 4 will continue to be treated as planned. • Group C: Cetuximab and platinum-based chemotherapy as described for Group A Chemotherapy will be given until radiographically documented progressive disease (PD) or unacceptable toxicity but for no more than 6 cycles. Cilengitide and cetuximab will be given until radiographically documented PD or unacceptable toxicity. Randomization will be performed centrally using an interactive voice/web response system (IXRS). A stratified block randomization procedure will be employed using chosen first-line chemotherapy (cisplatin/vinorelbine versus cisplatin/gemcitabine) as stratification criterion.
