There are about 5012 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Mexico. 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.
Abstract Title: Randomized,open-label, controlled trial to evaluate efficacy and safety of a highly selective semipermeable membrane (AN69-Oxiris) in comparison with a selective semipermeable membrane ( standard AN69) in COVID-19 associated acute kidney injury: oXAKI-COV study Rationale: Acute kidney injury (AKI) in critically ill mechanically ventilated patients with COVID-19 disease, is present in up to 30% of this group and more than 50% of them will need renal replacement therapy in the form of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). Acute kidney injury in this context seems to be a marker of multiorgan dysfunction and it produces increased mortality in this population. There is a vast amount of mechanisms that lead to AKI in critically ill patients with COVID-19; however, the cytokine storm could be the strongest mechanism implicated in AKI development in individuals with continuous renal replacement therapy requirements. Therefore, blocking or reducing the cytokine storm is thought to be a therapeutic target. Highly selective semipermeable membranes (AN69-Oxiris) have been shown able to adsorb endotoxins and to eliminate inflammatory cytokines, thus representing a valuable therapeutic option in this infection. Objective: To demonstrate clinical efficacy of AN69-Oxiris membrane to reach a stable MAP, with less vasopressor dosing (at least 0.1 micrograms/kg/min) after 72h of treatment, compared to a conventional membrane (standard AN69) in critically ill patients with AKI, COVID-19 infection and requirement of continuous renal replacement therapy. Study design: Randomized,open-label, controlled trial in critically ill patients with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 disease, AKI, and criteria for continuous renal replacement therapy initiation admitted in any of the two participating institutions. Patients meeting inclusion criteria will be randomized to receive CRRT with AN69-Oxiris membrane or standard AN69 membrane during a 72h period.
Pancreatic head malignancies are aggressive cancers that are often inoperable when they are diagnosed. In the ~20% of patients who are diagnosed when the disease is still operable, surgery is the only treatment that can provide a chance of cure. Unfortunately, up to 75% of patients undergoing surgery will have the cancer come back (recur). One of the reasons for this is the challenge of removing the whole tumour with some surrounding non-cancerous tissue to ensure that every tumour cell has been removed. This is difficult because there are many structures very close to the pancreas (such as the blood vessels that supply the intestines) that cannot be removed. A recent review study of >1700 patients who had a Whipple's operation (the cancer operation that is performed to remove the head of pancreas) and found that whilst the majority of patients had cancer recurrence in distant sites (like the liver) that would not be affected by how the operation was performed, 12% of patients had the cancer recur just at the site of where the operation had been; this is known as 'local' recurrence. This suggests that a small amount of cancer was not removed at the time of surgery in these patients. Very few studies have looked at the relationship between the Computerised Tomography (CT) scan before surgery and the histology results (information about the tumour after it has been examined under the microscope) and whether this can predict exactly where the tumour recurs. If investigators can find factors that predict which patients get local only recurrence, investigators may be able to offer improved surgical techniques or other therapies during or immediately after the operation to these patients, hopefully leading to improved cure rates. This retrospective international study will look at these factors in patients who underwent a Whipple's operation for pancreatic cancer, bile duct cancer or ampullary cancer over a three year period between 2012 and 2015. Participating centres will provide data on pre-operative scans, complications around the time of surgery, any therapies (e.g. chemotherapy) that the patients had and if and where the cancer recurred. With this information, investigators hope to find ways to predict which patients will get local-only recurrence, so researchers can select them for future studies to see if additional treatments can improve the chance of cure from surgery for these patients.
This study compares 2 medicines for type 2 diabetes: semaglutide (new medicine) and a dummy medicine (placebo). Semaglutide will be tested to see how well it works compared to the dummy medicine. The study will also test if semaglutide is safe in children and teenagers. Participants will either get semaglutide or the dummy medicine - which one is decided by chance. Participants will take 1 tablet of the study medicine every morning on an empty stomach. They have to wait 30 minutes before they eat, drink or take any other medication by mouth. The study will last for about 1 year and 3 months (66 weeks). Participants will have 12 clinic visits and 8 phone calls with the study doctor. At all 12 clinic visits, participants will have blood samples taken. Participants will also be asked some questions.
To gain insights on the application, use and effectiveness of Frisolac Gold Intensive HA and Frisolac Gold PEP AC with reference to improvement of CMPA symptoms and to determine the methodology used by Mexican Health Care Professionals (HCPs) in the clinical practice (i.e. diagnosis and dietary management) of CMPA in Mexican children (≤24 months) diagnosed with or suspected of CMPA.
Prospective study including Mexican patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and class 1 obesity, undergoing laparoscopic gastric bypass. The objective was to determine short, mid-and long-term outcomes (weight loss, metabolic, morbidity and diabetes remission). A subanalysis was included, based on preoperative usage of one (Group A) or more antidiabetics ± insulin (Group B).
This study will evaulate the long-term safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetics (PK) of recombinant human pentraxin-2 (rhPTX-2; PRM-151) zinpentraxin alfa, administered by intravenous (IV) infusion to participants with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of brensocatib at 10 mg and 25 mg compared with placebo on the rate of pulmonary exacerbations (PEs) over the 52-week treatment period.
ACTIV-1 IM is a master protocol designed to evaluate multiple investigational agents for the treatment of moderately or severely ill patients infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The research objectives are to evaluate each agent with respect to speed of recovery, mortality, illness severity, and hospital resource utilization. Each agent will be evaluated as add-on therapy to the standard of care (SoC) in use at the local clinics, including remdesivir (provided). The SoC may change during the course of the study based on other research findings. Comparisons of the agents among themselves is not a research objective. The study population corresponds to moderately and severely ill patients infected with the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) virus. Recruitment will target patients already hospitalized for treatment of COVID-19 infection as well as patients being treated for COVID-19 infection in Emergency Departments while waiting to be admitted to the hospital. Patients both in and out of the ICU are included in the study population.
The COVID-RASi study is an international randomized clinical trial that will evaluate the potential benefit of angiotensin modulators on clinical outcomes, in COVID-19 patients. The purpose of this study is to determine if renin-angiotensin system inhibitors (RASi), with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi) or angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARB), has a beneficial effect in patients with COVID-19 infections, by reducing ICU admission, ventilator requirement or death. We would also like to determine if there are differences between ACEi and ARB therapeutic treatments. With the increasing potential of long COVID symptoms, at the 1 year follow up, a primary endpoint will be the quality of life of study participants, as assessed by ongoing symptoms and/or the standardized questionnaires.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the time to confirmed clinical recovery in participants hospitalized with COVID-19. Candidate agents will be evaluated frequently for efficacy and safety, with candidate agents being added to and/or removed from the study on an ongoing basis, depending on the results of their evaluation.
