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 Phase 2 protocol is designed to compare two dose levels of laninamivir octanoate versus placebo. The objectives are to obtain safety and efficacy in adults aged 18 to 64 years who present to clinic with symptomatic presumptive influenza A or B infection.
The purpose of this study is to compare LY2605541 and human insulin isophane suspension (NPH) using the following measures for participants treated for up to 26 weeks: - Change in participants' overall blood sugar control - The rate of night time low blood sugar episodes - The number of participants that reach blood sugar targets without low night time blood sugar episodes - The total number of low blood sugar episodes reported
The purpose of this study is to see how participants with late stage lung cancer do on gemcitabine-cisplatin chemotherapy plus necitumumab. The study will also see how safe the drugs are in combination and to see how long the medicine stays in the body. The study will last approximately 2 years.
T. cruzi has been divided into two main lineages: T. cruzi I (TcI) and T. cruzi II (TcII, including all non-TcI). TcI is predominant in Mexico and Central America, while TcII (non-TcI) is predominant in most of South America, including Argentina. In recent studies from Argentina, the risk of congenital transmission has been estimated to vary between 2.6 percent and 7.9 percent. By contrast, we know very little about the congenital transmission of TcI. It has been suggested that congenital transmission of T. cruzi is strain related, and there is an urgent need to know if TcI transmits differently than TcII (non-TcI). Our primary hypothesis is that congenital transmission rates are different for TcI versus TcII. Our secondary hypothesis is that the characteristics of T. cruzi infected mothers (e.g., age, parity, transmission in previous pregnancies) and their exposure to vectors are different in regions where TcI is predominant versus regions where TcII (non-TcI) is predominant. To test these hypotheses, we propose to conduct a prospective study to enroll at delivery 13,000 women in Mexico, 7,500 women in Honduras, and 10,000 women in Argentina. We will measure transmitted maternal T. cruzi antibodies in cord blood, and, if the results are positive, we will identify infants who are congenitally infected by performing parasitological examinations on cord blood and at 4-8 weeks, and serological follow-up at 10 months. We will also perform standard PCR, real-time quantitative PCR, and T. cruzi genotyping on maternal blood, standard PCR and T. cruzi genotyping on the cord blood of congenitally infected newborns, and serological examinations on siblings. We will estimate the exposure to vectors in the household. In addition, we will measure prenatal outcomes among infected and uninfected infants with seropositive mothers, and the birth weight of their siblings. The specific aims of this study are: 1) To determine the rate of congenital transmission of TcI compared to TcII (non-TcI); 2) To compare the T. cruzi infected mothers' characteristics and exposure to vectors in regions where TcI is predominant and regions where TcII (non-TcI) is predominant; and 3) To describe the birth outcomes of infected and uninfected infants born to TcI and TcII seropositive women.
The propose of the study is to validate in Mexico a spanish translation of the Spinal Cord Independence Measure (SCIM) Version III, in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI). Internal consistency, reproducibility and reliability will be addressed scoring the results of the translated version at two time frames and also of the same patients by different examiners (physicians, nurses and technicians).
The aim of the study is to assess safety, tolerability and clinical effects of different doses of riociguat in patients with inoperable Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension (CTEPH) and who are not satisfactorily treated and cannot participate in any other CTEPH trial. In the US the study runs as an Expanded Access program under 21 CFR 312.320.
The Ulcerative Colitis (UC) belongs to the group of diseases called Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) which is characterized by a chronic ulceration of the colon. The conventional treatment can have adverse effects and does not guarantee effectiveness in some patients requiring aggressive therapy using adjuvant therapy Aloe vera has been shown to have a beneficial effect in different disease, and have an anti-inflammatory effect in UC patients. Objective: Measuring the effect of the consumption of 200 ml of aloe vera gel daily for a period of three months, in the degree of inflammation in patients with mild UC based on Mayo scale and quantification of IL-6 in the colonic mucosa.
The purpose of this study is to test whether the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) intra-articular injection therapy is effective as an alternative treatment option in patients with mild knee osteoarthritis within a controlled randomized study compared to first line treatment acetaminophen. The investigators will evaluate patients outcome in level of pain, knee function and quality of life before the treatment and at 6, 12 and 24 weeks follow up. The study will be complemented with in vitro experiments of human osteoarthritic cartilage explants culture (treated with PRP) for histological and gene expression assays. PRP intra-articular injections therapy is effective in patients with mild knee osteoarthritis by modifying the biochemical joint environment and cartilage regeneration capability.
This study will assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of QVA149 in patients with moderate to very severe COPD.
This study will evaluate and compare two individualized ranibizumab treatment regimens in patients with neovascular (wet) AMD aiming to achieve and to maintain a maximum visual function benefit, while aiming to avoid unnecessary intravitreal injections. The results will be used to generate further recommendations on functional and anatomical monitoring of the disease and timing of treatment administration for patients with neovascular AMD. In this context, the study will investigate the utility of optical coherence tomography (OCT) to aid retreatment decisions with ranibizumab.
