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.
Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) is a dimeric glycoprotein, naturally expressed in epithelial and tumor cells (1). Normal Retinal vascularization has two phases: In the first fase, cells of mesenquimatous origin form the first superficial plexus (14-21 weeks of gestation). In the second phase, denominated "angiogenesis phase", the superficial and deep capillary plexus are formed (15,20). The Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) was described for the first time in 1942 (4), at the present moment it is a public health problem in the developing countries. The International Classification of ROP classifies it in 5 stages, dividing it in 3 anatomical zones. It is a public health problem that continuous without having an effective prophylaxis. The early diagnosis and treatment in thresholds stages have changed the prognosis of this disease (11,12).
This is a dose-ranging study that will evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of a range of doses of investigational product and pioglitazone, compared to placebo, administered as monotherapy over 12 weeks in treatment naive patients with T2DM
Melasma is an acquired, symmetric, irregular hypermelanosis on sun-exposed areas of the face, commonly seen in Latin American women. It is a very frequent disease, although its true incidence is unknown. Melasma has historically been difficult to treat and therapy remains a challenge for this chronic condition. Melasma being a relapsing disease, there is a real need to address how to maintain efficacy achieved after acute treatment. A previous 12-month trial has shown that Tri-Luma® applied once daily over a long-term period is safe and tolerable. However, there are no robust data available either on the efficacy of Tri-Luma® in long-term treatment or guidance for a maintenance dosage regimen with this product. Investigations have been made through a feasibility work among Dermatologists from USA and Latin America to assess their current practice in terms of Maintenance Therapy. Two regimens appear to be prescribed frequently and will be compared in this study. The expectation is that Tri-Luma® will be effective, in one of the two regimens explored, in maintaining the Melasma improvement achieved with a previous treatment of Tri-Luma®.
The purpose of this 32 week study is to demonstrate that fixed-dose combination treatment with rosiglitazone/metformin will safely and effectively control glycemia as first line oral therapy in subjects type 2 diabetes. The primary objective of the study is to demonstrate superiority of rosiglitazone/metformin compared to its rosiglitazone and metformin.
The multiple properties of the corticosteroids over the inflammatory response, make them first line drugs for the treatment of several ocular inflammatory disorders of different etiologies. In order to diminish the corticosteroids severe systemic adverse effects, the local administration is preferred. Iontophoresis already has been used in a successful way for the administration of corticosteroids. Clinical or histopathological injuries due to the use of transcleral CCI have not been observed. being successful the administration of methylprednisolone by means of this system in previous studies. The objective is to evaluate the tolerance, security and effectiveness of this treatment, using a new generation device.
The purpose of this clinical research study is to determine whether apixaban is more effective than acetylsalicylic acid in the prevention of strokes associated with patients with atrial fibrillation. The safety of this treatment will also be studied.
The endothelial growth factor (VEGF), has been implied in the genesis of diverse Neovascular disease. In the industrialized and developing countries, the main cause of blindness is the diabetic retinopathy. Bevacizumab (Avastin, genentech, Inc., San Francisco, California, the USA) is a drug.In the last years its use "off-label", in ophthalmology field, has become popular. This is due to its proven safeness and effectiveness for the treatment of diverse ocular diseases. A lot has been speculated about the systemic absorption of Bevacizumab. It is for that reason that the objective of this study is the systematic and random revision of the fellows eyes, of the patients programmed for the intravitreal administration of Bevacizumab, with bilateral macular edema. In such a way that the therapeutic value in the fellow eye of bevacizumab can be determined
The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Doppler guided uterine artery occlusion (D-UAO) for the reduction of fibroid associated bleeding.
This is a dose-ranging study to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of a range of doses of GSK189075 (an SGLT2 inhibitor) compared to placebo, administered over 12 weeks in treatment-naive subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus
The purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness and safety of insulin lispro protamine suspension (ILPS) as compared to insulin detemir as basal insulin therapy in adults with type 2 diabetes. A gatekeeper strategy will be employed for sequentially testing the secondary objectives.
