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.
Anorexia is common symptom in cancer patients and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. However timely detection with objective tools is necessary to establish the diagnosis of anorexia and to assess the magnitude of change over time. The anorexia pathophysiology is not clearly understood and treatment options are limited. Anecdotal historical benefits of smoking marijuana on nausea, pain and anorexia led to studies with marijuana and synthetic cannabinoids from Δ-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, the main active agent in marijuana. The endogenous cannabinoid system with its receptors CB1 and CB2 regulate appetite in four functional levels: (1) limbic system (hedonistic quality), (2) hypothalamus (appetite stimulant), (3) intestinal, and (4) tissue adipose. Nabilone, a synthetic analogue of THC approved in Mexico for nausea and vomiting induced by chemotherapy is also used in palliative care units for clinical improvement in increased appetite patients in terminal stages, however, there are no clinical trials demonstrating this benefit.
To assess efficacy and safety of concomitant treatment with nintedanib and sildenafil in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) patients with advanced lung function impairment.
Aim: To demonstrate the non-inferiority of the PRO-067 ophthalmic solution manufactured by Laboratorios Sophia S.A. de C.V. versus GAAP Ofteno® ophthalmic solution like hypotensive therapy in subjects with primary open angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Study design: a multicentric, prospective, crossover (2x2), double blind clinical study. Sample size: one hundred patients with primary open angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Patients in the period 1: In the first sequence 60 patients will be assigned to receive the ophthalmic solution: GAAP Ofteno ® (latanoprost 0.005%) 1 drop per day (QD) during 30 days and the second sequence 60 patients will be assigned to receive the ophthalmic solution: PRO-067 1 drop QD during 30 days in the same period. Washout period: 21 hours. Patients in the period 2: the pharmacological intervention change to the opposite therapy for 30 days.
The purpose of the study is to assess the efficacy and safety of BAY1841788 (darolutamide (ODM-201)) in combination with standard androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and docetaxel in patients with metastatic hormone sensitive prostate cancer.
The primary objective is to assess whether the fraction of diaphragmatic shortening in combination with the presence / absence of alveolar-interstitial syndrome evaluated through chest ultrasound may predict successful extubation in adult patients hospitalized in the intensive care unit.
The purpose of this study is to characterise long-term safety and tolerability of intravenous anifrolumab.
To compare the efficacy and safety of ofatumumab administered subcutaneously (sc) every 4 weeks versus teriflunomide administered orally once daily in patients with relapsing multiple sclerosis

This is a multi-country, multicentre, observational prospective data collection cross sectional study of patients with stable COPD in Latin America. Primary objective is to assess and characterize COPD symptoms over a period of 24 hours, by collecting information about the respiratory symptoms experienced at different times of the day and night-time in patients with stable COPD under real clinical practice conditions. Correlation between each of these symptoms and the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) classification, adherence to respiratory treatment, level of dyspnea, disease severity, comorbidities and physical activity as well direct costs will be done as secondary objectives. Study population are patients of 40 years and older, smokers or ex smokers of >= 10 pack/years with previous COPD diagnosis, attending outpatient specialists consults in Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Uruguay, Costa Rica, Guatemala and Mexico. Sample size is targeted to 900 enroled patients in order to ensure 860 patients to achieve statistical power to primary objective.
Helicobacter pylori is a common bacterial infection. It can lead to severe stomach problems, including stomach cancer. Researchers want to look at samples of the bacteria. These H. pylori strains will be taken from chronically infected people. They want to identify the genetic and epigenetic differences in H. pylori strains. This could help predict which people who get infected with the bacteria will get stomach cancer. This could lead to the cancer being detected earlier. It could also mean less people get stomach cancer. Objectives: To study genetic variations of H. pylori strains based on samples from chronically infected people. To identify the features of strains that might lead to severe stomach problems or stomach cancer. Eligibility: People ages 30-70 years who need an upper endoscopy or who were recently diagnosed with stomach cancer Design: Participants will be screened by the doctor who does their procedure and a study nurse. Participants who have endoscopy will have ~6 biopsies removed. These are tissue samples. They are about the size of a grain of rice. Participants will allow the study team to access reports from their stomach exam. Participants with stomach cancer will donate some of the tissue that will be removed during their clinical care. They will allow the study team to access reports of their surgery. They will also allow them to access the microscope slides of their stomach.
