There are about 280 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Guatemala. 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.
In this study, the investigators will be using a smartphone application that the investigators developed to guide community health workers through the clinical assessment of patients with diabetes including collection of demographic data and past medical history, assessment of medication history, adherence, and adverse effects, measurement of glycemic control, screening for complications, medication administration and titration, and patient counseling.
This study is a prospective, multicenter, open-label, single-arm effectiveness and safety study in participants with progressive multiple sclerosis (PMS).
This study proposes to investigate the association of nutritional status of a children assessed by body mass index (BMI), triceps skinfold thickness (TSFT), and mid upper arm circumference (MUAC), with body composition, measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), in 60 children undergoing treatment of ALL at Unidad Nacional de Oncologia Pediatrica (UNOP), in Guatemala City, Guatemala. The study also aims to establish normative values of body composition in children residing in an LMIC by examining 160 healthy siblings of children under treatment, and to measure habitual physical activity in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) at diagnosis and during therapy.
The primary objective of this study will be to evaluate the efficacy of gefapixant (MK-7264) in reducing cough frequency as measured over a 24-hour period. It is hypothesized that at least one dose of gefapixant is superior to placebo in reducing coughs per hour (over 24 hours).
Levels of blood pressure in adolescents with preeclampsia and eclampsia: Multicenter case-control study (Latin America). Maternities in Latin America: Two hospitals in Panama, one hospital in Mexico, one hospital in El Salvador, one hospital in Guatemala, two hospitals in Honduras, one hospital in Colombia, two hospitals in Peru and two hospitals in Bolivia. The objective is to evaluate the basal levels of blood pressure during pregnancy and determine if there is any increase that is associated with the development of preeclampsia and eclampsia without reaching the known values of 140/90 mm Hg. The sample is 718: (240 Cases and 478 Controls).
The goal of this study is to assess whether 3-5 years-old children who have Vitamin A intakes above the tolerable upper intake level (UL=900 ug per day) have higher total body Vitamin A stores and biomarkers of excessive vitamin A status, compared to children with Normal Vitamin A intakes (250-600 ug per day).
Primary Objectives: To demonstrate that, when compared to placebo in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), cardiovascular (CV) risk factors, and moderately impaired renal function, sotagliflozin: - Does not increase the risk of cardiovascular events including death from cardiovascular disease, non-fatal heart attack and non-fatal stroke; - Reduces the risk of death from CV disease or hospitalization for heart failure. Secondary Objectives: - To demonstrate that, when compared to placebo in patients with T2D, CV risk factors, and moderately impaired renal function, sotagliflozin: - Reduces cardiovascular events including death from cardiovascular disease, non-fatal heart attack and non-fatal stroke; - Reduces risk of progression of kidney disease; - Reduces cardiovascular events including death from cardiovascular disease and emergency treatment for heart failure; - Reduces death from cardiovascular disease; - Reduces death from any cause. - To assess the safety and tolerability of sotagliflozin.
This is a Phase III/IV, single-arm, multicenter study of the long-term safety and efficacy of atezolizumab treatment in participants with Stage IIIb or Stage IV NSCLC who have progressed after standard systemic chemotherapy (including if given in combination with anti-programmed cell death protein 1 [anti-PD-1] therapy, after anti-PD-1 as monotherapy, or after tyrosine kinase inhibitor [TKI] therapy). The study will consist of a Screening Period, a Treatment Period, a Treatment Discontinuation Visit, and a Follow-Up Period.
This is a phase IIIb, single arm, open-label, multi-center study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of emicizumab in participants with congenital hemophilia A who have documented inhibitors against Factor VIII (FVIII) at enrollment. Approximately 200 participants, aged 12 or older, will be enrolled in this study and are expected to be enrolled at approximately 85 sites globally. Participants will receive an initial weekly dose of prophylactic emicizumab subcutaneously for 4 weeks, followed by a weekly maintenance dose subcutaneously for the remainder of the 2-year treatment period.
The purpose of this trial is to evaluate efficacy and safety of pembrolizumab plus cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) chemotherapy versus placebo plus cisplatin and 5-FU chemotherapy as first-line treatment in participants with locally advanced or metastatic esophageal carcinoma. The primary efficacy hypotheses are that both progression-free survival (PFS), according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 and determined by blinded independent central review, and overall survival (OS) are superior with pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy compared with placebo plus chemotherapy in all participants as well as participants whose tumors are programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1)-positive.
