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 objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of a healthy-habits intervention tailored to the cultural, economical and social context of the target population in cardiometabolic parameters, for a population with no access to specialized health services. The intervention was designed considering environmental and economic context like availability of food and physical activity spaces; cultural factors like social and culinary traditions; individual food preferences. It encompass a selected set of behavioral and nutritional strategies aiming to achieve control of metabolic disorders involved and to reduce the risk for diabetes. The investigators' study is a nine-month clinical intervention with randomized allocation, and parallel assignment. For the first six months, the participants in the control group will receive the treatment from the primary care service by the Health Minister as implemented by the local health center, and for the intervention group participants will receive a treatment to improve the quality of the diet and promote the practice of physical activity. Both groups will be reevaluated at third, sixth and ninth-months follow-up. The physician and the nutritionist of the study will be give the recommendations for diet and advice on exercise, mainly by suggesting moderate-intensity activity, such as brisk walks for at least 150 minutes/week.
The primary purpose for this study is to understand the effect of botulinum toxin as a treatment integrated in the management of spasticity (stiffness) in the arm and/or hand, arising from any neurological condition. The study will look at the types of goals that people choose for treatment, and the extent to which these are achieved in different individuals.
This study will assess the efficacy and safety of tocilizumab compared with placebo in participants with SSc across approximately 120 planned global study sites. The study will consist of a 48-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled period followed by a 48-week open-label treatment period. Participants will be assigned, in a 1:1 ratio, to double-blind treatment with active tocilizumab or matching placebo. In the open-label period, eligible participants from either arm may receive active tocilizumab.
This study determines the effectiveness of leuprolide acetate 45 mg for injectable suspension for treatment of children with Central Precocious Puberty.
The primary objective of this study is to determine the effect of reslizumab (110 mg) administered subcutaneously every 4 weeks on clinical asthma exacerbations in adults and adolescents with asthma and elevated blood eosinophils who are inadequately controlled on standard-of-care asthma therapy.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the combination of doxorubicin plus the study drug known as olaratumab versus doxorubicin plus placebo in participants with advanced or metastatic soft tissue sarcoma.
Recent advances in acute lymphoblastic leukemia treatment are based on a cytotoxic drug combination. Measurement of minimal residual disease in bone marrow samples at day 14 of treatment is the most powerful early predictive indicator of further relapse, and it can be applied practically to all patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Even more so, it has been observed that patients who present negative minimal residual disease in bone marrow samples at day 7 during induction have a better prognosis than those achieving this at day 14. Relapse represents the main cause of treatment failure that related in the extreme with resistance to apoptosis, defining the latter as the principal mechanism of programmed cell death; it is also related with the induction of leukemic cells to senescent arrest. Pentoxifylline is a methyl-xanthine byproduct considered an unspecific inhibitor of phosphodiesterase. It inhibits nuclear factor-kappa-beta activation by different mechanisms and stimulates apoptosis induced by different drugs; thus, it can optimize the antineoplastic effect of actual treatments in order to increase the apoptosis of leukemic cells. This effect might improve the prognosis of these patients. Evaluate the safety and effect of Pentoxifylline together with antineoplastic drugs in order to study increased apoptosis and decreased senescence during the remission induction phase in pediatric patients with newly diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukemia. To achieve this propose, we will divide patients in two groups, who will receive pentoxifylline or placebo depending on the group, in addition to conventional treatment according to the protocol standard chemotherapy schema for pediatric patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia at our institution during the remission induction phase. In addition, we will test whether the study group exerts an impact on reaching remission earlier as compared with the control group.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a program of regular, theory-based text messages that encourages the message recipient to continue practicing safer sex (i.e., using condoms with sex partners) is effective in maintaining positive behavior change in women who have completed a brief safer-sex training.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of an intravenous treatment regimen of anifrolumab versus placebo in adult participants with moderately to severely active, autoantibody-positive systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety the combination of TRANSKRIP ® vs placebo plus Carboplatin/Paclitaxel as first line treatment in patients with recurrent-persistent cervical cancer.
