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.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of nivolumab when given under the skin with or without rHuPH20. This study will include participants with 1 of the following advanced or metastatic tumors approved for treatment with nivolumab monotherapy: - non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) - renal cell carcinoma (RCC) - unresectable or metastatic melanoma - hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) - microsatellite instability-high or mismatch repair deficient colorectal cancer (MSI-H/dMMR CRC) - in Part B, other solid tumors may be considered at the discretion of the Clinical Trial Physician - In addition to the above tumors, Part E will also include participants with metastatic urothelial carcinoma (mUC).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the antiviral activity, clinical outcomes, safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic relationships of different oral dose levels of JNJ-53718678 in children greater than or equal to 28 days and less than or equal to 3 years of age with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) disease (hospitalized participants [Cohort 1] or outpatients [Cohort 2]).
Amblyopia, or lazy eye, is best defined by the American Academy of Ophthalmology as a unilateral or bilateral reduction of the best corrected visual acuity that occurs in the setting of an otherwise normal eye, or a structural abnormality involving the eye or visual pathway with reduction in visual acuity that cannot be attributed only to the effect of the structural abnormality. Which causes an abnormal visual experience early in life, with consequences such as deficiencies in the ability to perceive contrast and/or movement, visual acuity, accommodation and stereopsis. The treatment of choice consists in patching of the fellow eye 2 hours per day. The disadvantage of this treatment modality is that patients end up not complying and when treatment is interrupted, lazy eye reappears. Amblyopia was thought to be a monocular disease, now a days there are reports of cortical visual paths changes in both eyes (the fellow and amblyopia eye), believing that it might be a monocular consequence of a binocular disease. Following that statement new treatment studies have arisen, stimulating both eyes not only to improve visual acuity in the lazy eye, but to restore binocular function as well. These treatments use videogames in celular phones, computers, or tablets where the fellow eye is exposed to reduced contrast and the lazy eye is exposed to full-contrast. Although the evidence is promising, more studies are needed to establish effectivity and security of this treatment modality.
Takayasu Arteritis (TA) affects medium and large caliber arteries causing stenosis, occlusion or aneurysms. It has great predilection for the aortic arch, subclavian and extracranial arteries. The global prevalence is of 1 to 2% per million inhabitants, which varies by geographical region. The main cause of death in TA is of cardiovascular origin and includes ischemic cardiomyopathy and valvular disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate the surgical experience according to the type of surgery in subjects with TA with and without inflammatory activity. Methods: This was a retrospective, descriptive, cross-sectional study run between 1977 and 2017. Patients with Takayasu arteritis with more than 3 classification criteria according to the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) were included. The surgeries were classified as: Organ preservation, cardiac, bypass, exclusion and replacement. Inflammatory activity was evaluated.
Persistent epithelial defects (PED) are corneal ulcers that do not heal within the first two weeks of treatment with artificial tears or ocular lubricant ointment. It is believed that this condition is the result of the loss of certain substances normally present in the tears that aid in the healing process of the cornea. When the eye is healthy, these ulcers typically heal rapidly. However, when there is an underlying disease such as diabetes, this healing process is altered and it takes longer for the ulcer to heal. Autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a substance that is obtained from the patient's own blood and it is believed this substance may replace those missing factors in the tears of patients with PED. The purpose of this investigation is to find out whether PRP combined with a bandage contact lens is better than preservative free lubricant combined with bandage contact lens or than eye patch with ocular lubricant ointment for the treatment of PED. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the three groups and will get the treatment until the ulcer heals completely. We will count the days it takes for the PED to heal and based on that we will determine wich treatment is more effective (the treatment that takes the least days to heal will be considered the most effective). Since this disease is difficult to treat and doesn't have a gold standard treatment, usually the available treatments are not as good as we would like, therefore, the ulcer might progress even to perforation regardless of the treatment. In these cases, we will provide appropriate treatment for progressive corneal thinning and corneal perforation.
The current epidemic of obesity relates to the transition from traditional to industrialised diets. The present project investigates the effect on body energy of recommending the consumption of traditional "home meals", which may be a useful recommendation against obesity. A randomized controlled trial design is applied assigning participants to a recommendation of consuming during 12 weeks either "home meals" or "healthy meals." Frequency of consumption of energy-dense foods and of exercise is monitored throughout the intervention; weight and body fat are measured at baseline and at four-week intervals. The hypothesis is that consuming more frequently "home meals" reduces at least as much weight and adiposity as "healthy meals".
The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of upadacitinib compared to placebo in inducing clinical remission (per Adapted Mayo score) in participants with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC).
The purpose of this study is to collect long-term safety, tolerability, effectiveness and health outcomes data in eligible subjects who have participated in a Novartis ofatumumab clinical MS study. Vaccination sub-study The purpose of this research sub-study is to find out the effects of ofatumumab on the development of antibody responses to selected vaccines and keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) neo-antigen in subjects with relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS).
The PAN-PROMISE study (PAtieNt-rePoRted OutcoMe scale in acute pancreatItis-an international proSpEctive cohort study) aims to measure an outcome variable in acute pancreatitis (AP) based in the patient´s experience. PAN-PROMISE is a cohort study involving patients with AP. The patient´s symptom perception will be compared with the opinion of the clinicians and with clinical outcomes.
Randomized double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trial. Consists of the administration of 5,000 IU of vitamin D3 vs Placebo in patients with gestational diabetes mellitus during eight weeks. The objective is to analyze the effects of the intervention on the biochemical parameters that are part of the glycemic profile (insuline, HBA1c, glucose)
