There are about 99 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Honduras. 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.
Social network targeting strategies can be used to improve the delivery and uptake of health interventions. We will enroll approximately 30,000 individuals into a randomized controlled trial of different targeting algorithms in order to explore how social network dynamics affect the uptake, diffusion, and group-level normative reinforcement of key neonatal and infant health behaviors and attitudes in 176 rural villages in the Copan region of Honduras. Our goal is to develop methods by which global health practitioners can exploit face-to-face social network interactions in order to maximize uptake of neonatal and infant health interventions. The villages will be randomly assigned to 16 cells of 11 villages each in a 2 x 8 factorial design of different targeting algorithms.
Safety and effect of SANGUINATE on Sickle Cell Disease patients experiencing a vaso-occlusive crisis who are admitted to the hospital for treatment.
Nearly 3 billion people rely on biomass combustion to meet basic domestic energy needs. Many households use traditional cookstoves to meet these energy needs, which can result in extremely high indoor air pollution concentrations. Indoor air pollution from biomass combustion accounts for an estimated 3.9 million premature deaths per year, representing about 4.8% of the global disease burden. Improved stove designs have the potential to substantially reduce indoor air pollution exposures. However, there are few randomized intervention trials, and previous stove intervention studies have been plagued by low improved stove adoption and sustained use, severely limiting interpretations of these studies. This research proposes to conduct community surveys and in-depth interviews among Honduran cookstove users to gain insight into the complex pathways surrounding barriers to and predictors of sustained improved cookstove adoption (among the target population for the proposed intervention). This information will be used to conduct and enhance a randomized improved cookstove intervention among 300 Honduran families, incorporating qualitative and quantitative measures of cookstove use and measuring pre- to post-intervention changes in pollutant exposures and subclinical indicators of cardiovascular health. The primary goals are twofold: - To incorporate community-engaged approaches throughout all aspects of the research - To maximize sustained stove use (thereby maximizing the health impact of the intervention) to achieve valid exposure-response estimates. Both objectives utilize innovative strategies to fill knowledge gaps. The research team will build upon previous studies in Latin America that have focused on identifying and validating appropriate field techniques for exposure and health assessments in rural areas of developing countries. In summary, the proposed project will provide insight regarding barriers/predictors of sustained cookstove adoption, an issue impeding research in this field; assess the relationship between stove use and indicators of cardiovascular health, a substantial and quickly growing disease burden in developing countries; and result in a more comprehensive and valid assessment of the impact of a cookstove intervention.
This is a non-interventional, multi-country, Latin American study utilizing a prospective single-cohort design. Eligible CU patients will be enrolled in the study and will be followed for 24 months (± 6 weeks). In accordance with the observational nature of the study, there will be no interventions or interference with the routine care of the patient which will be based solely on the clinical judgment of the treating physician. However, with respect to the frequency and schedule of assessments, the schedule included in Table 7-1 will be recommended. The selection of the treatment for CU will be clearly separated from the decision to include the patient in the study, and will be made at the discretion of the treating physician in accordance with standard medical practice, the investigator's clinical judgment, and global urticarial guidelines. In order to prevent selection bias, investigators should offer enrollment to all consecutive patients meeting study criteria, likely to be available for the full duration of the follow-up period of 24 months, and willing to participate in the study. The overall objective of the study is to evaluate in real-life the CU disease burden, the current treatment patterns and the use of health care resources in patients refractory to H1-antihistamine treatment
The aim of the study was to assess and describe the booster effect of a CYD dengue vaccine dose administered 4 to 5 years after the completion of a 3-dose vaccination schedule. Primary Objective - To demonstrate the non-inferiority, in terms of geometric mean of titer ratios (GMTRs), of a CYD dengue vaccine booster compared to the third CYD dengue vaccine injection in participants from CYD13 - NCT00993447 and CYD30 - NCT01187433 trials (participants from Group 1 only). Secondary Objectives: - If the primary objective of non-inferiority was achieved: To demonstrate the superiority, in terms of GMTRs, of a CYD dengue vaccine booster compared to the third CYD dengue vaccine injection in participants from CYD13 and CYD30 trials. - To describe the immune responses elicited by a CYD dengue vaccine booster and placebo injection in participants who received 3 doses of the CYD dengue vaccine in the CYD13 and CYD30 trials in all participants. - To describe the neutralizing antibody levels of each dengue serotype post-dose 3 (CYD13 and CYD30 participants) and immediately prior to booster or placebo injection in all participants. - To describe the neutralizing antibody persistence 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years post booster or placebo injection in all participants. - To evaluate the safety of booster vaccination with the CYD dengue vaccine in all participants.
To determine the safety and tolerability of Oraxol as compared to IV paclitaxel in metastatic breast cancer
Retrospective, observational study to determine the prevalence of complications in Central American diabetic patients.
This is an open label, multi-center, multi-application pharmacokinetic study in pediatric subjects with tinea corporis.
The purpose of this study is to compare the safety, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of oral SCY-078 vs. standard-of-care following initial intravenous echinocandin therapy in the treatment of invasive candidiasis.
The study is being done to see how well the study cream works when applied once a day to affected area of child (where they have ringworm). The results will be compared to those seen with a placebo cream which has no active ingredient. Safety of the cream will also be measured.
