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.
This study will assess the safety and efficacy of ixekizumab (LY2439821) compared to placebo in participants with active AS.
Polio is a highly infectious disease caused by a virus. It invades the nervous system, and can cause total paralysis in a matter of hours. The virus enters the body through the mouth and multiplies in the intestine. Initial symptoms are fever, fatigue, headache, vomiting, stiffness in the neck and pain in the limbs. One in 200 infections leads to irreversible paralysis (usually in the legs). Among those paralysed, 5% to 10% die when their breathing muscles become immobilized. There is no cure for polio, it can only be prevented. Polio vaccine, given multiple times, can protect a child for life. Compare in newborns the immunogenicity and safety of the vaccine OPV produced by Birmex compared with the vaccine OPV produced by Sanofi Pasteur, both produced in Vero cells.
Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a rare disease, but with a very high mortality. MPM is frequently found in advanced stages. The standard treatment in advanced pleural mesothelioma is cisplatin-based chemotherapy combined with pemetrexed/raltitrexed (phase III studies showed its benefit in response and overall survival compared with cisplatin alone). There are other active drugs such as liposomal doxorubicin and gemcitabine. Unfortunately, cost is an important factor to consider in our population and standard treatments are very expensive. Gemcitabine 250 mg infused over 6 hrs in combination with cisplatin, compared to the standard administration of gemcitabine 1250 mg infusion of 30 minutes in NSCLC, combined with cisplatin showed 75 mg shown in a study to be equally effective in treating cancer non-small cell lung. A phase II study using this strategy for advanced MPM has shown promising results. Gemcitabine administered in low dose in a six hour infusion may reduce cost of treatment without altering the effectiveness. Primary Objective. -Evaluate the response of treatment with gemcitabine at a dose of 250 mg/m2SC in 6-hour infusion combined with cisplatin in patients with unresectable malignant mesothelioma. Secondary objectives. - Evaluate toxicity of the combination of gemcitabine at a dose of 250 mg/m2 infused over 6 hours in with cisplatin in patients with unresectable malignant mesothelioma. - Evaluate the progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients with unresectable MM treated with this combination. Hypothesis: Combination therapy of gemcitabine at a dose of 250 mg/m2 infusion of 6 hrs applied on day 1 and 8 combined with cisplatin 35 mg/m2SC applied on day 1 of 3 weeks cycles is a treatment that provides similar results in responses when compared with previous studies with the same combination therapy, but with a conventional administration (gemcitabine 1,250 mg in 30 minutes on days 1, 8 and 15).
A randomized multicentric parallel arms study involving the use of ketamine for treatment-resistant depression will be held at three national health provider clinics in the Mexican population. The purpose of this study is to determine whether clinical response seen in previous studies is replicable in this population.
Adoption, twin and family studies have reported that obesity has a strong heritable component and in particular, it has been suggested that BMI in adults is due to genetic influence rather than shared family environment. Binge eating in obese patients was described. Therefore, it has been proposed that binge eating disorder (BED) may contribute to obesity in some individuals. Pharmacological studies reported that topiramate plays an important role in the treatment of binge eating disorder. It has been observed improvement of co-occurring binge eating disorder in patients receiving topiramate for treatment of mood disorders. In addition, topiramate was associated with anorexia and weight loss in clinical trials with epilepsy patients. Also, topiramate has been demonstrated efficacy in pilot and controlled studies for binge eating disorder (BED) associated with obesity. Genetic studies will be important to elucidate the mechanism by which putative susceptibility variation in candidate genes influences in pharmacological improvement of binge eating disorder in obese patients treated with topiramate. Connecting drug response with relevant functional DNA variants and differences in brain regions represents the ultimate goal for pharmacogenetic research playing an important role in advancing this understanding. The use of brain imaging combined with genetics can aid in understanding the pathophysiological mechanism of the disease. Additionally, brain imaging has the ability to bridge between preclinical research and human pharmacological studies. This will be a naturalistic clinical study designed to analyze the effect of genetic variants and neurofunctional brain areas associated with food craving in patients with obesity and binge eating disorder responders to topiramate. Hypothesis: The use of topiramate in obese subjects with binge eating disorder is associated with a differential gene variants and different activation brain areas in subjects that showed a reduction of food craving and weight lost.
This randomized, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of lebrikizumab in participants with asthma whose disease remains uncontrolled despite daily treatment with inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) therapy and at least one second controller medication. Participants will be randomized in 1:1:1 ratio to receive double-blind treatment with either lebrikizumab ("high" or "low") or placebo, administered as subcutaneous (SC) injection every 4 weeks for 52 weeks, in addition to their standard-of-care therapy. This will be followed by a 52-week double-blind active treatment extension. Participants who were assigned to placebo during the placebo-controlled period of the trial will be re-randomized at Week 52 to receive blinded SC lebrikizumab 37.5 milligrams (mg) or 125 mg every 4 weeks from Weeks 53 to 104. The anticipated time on study treatment is 104 weeks. After study treatment, all participants will complete a 20-week safety follow-up.
The purpose of this comparative study is to evaluate the efficacy of an ovule with triple active agents (terconazole, clindamycin and fluocinolone) versus another ovule with triple active agents (nystatin, metronidazole and fluocinolone) in the treatment of symptoms caused by the presence of vaginitis (inflammation of the vagina) or bacterial vaginosis (polymicrobial, nonspecific vaginitis associated with positive cultures of Gardnerella vaginalis and other anaerobic organisms and a decrease in lactobacilli).
This randomized, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of lebrikizumab in participants with asthma whose disease remains uncontrolled despite daily treatment with inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) therapy and at least one second controller medication. Participants will be randomized in 1:1:1 ratio to receive double-blind treatment with either lebrikizumab ("high" or "low") or placebo, administered subcutaneously (SC) every 4 weeks for 52 weeks, in addition to their standard-of-care therapy. This will be followed by a 52-week double-blind active treatment extension. During double-blind active treatment extension period, all participants will receive SC injection of lebrikizumab from Week 53 to Week 104. The anticipated time on study treatment is 104 weeks. After study treatment, all participants will complete a 20-week safety follow-up.

THis study is intended to provide contemporary data on the burden of disease in patients 1 to 3 years post-MI, including a description of patient characteristics, current treatment patterns, rate of major CV events, and healthcare resource utilization in a 'real world' patient population at high atherothrombotic risk.
