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.
SARS-CoV-2 infection induces a hyperinflammatory syndrome, causing the acute respiratory distress syndrome, massive lung cell destruction and, as a plausible sequelae, pulmonary fibrosis in COVID-19 patients. Current focus has been on the development of novel immunosuppressant therapies, in order to control the cytokine storm in COVID-19 patients. Thus, the effect of steroids, intravenous immunoglobulin, non-steroidal immunosuppressants, selective cytokine blockade, JAK/STAT pathway inbhibition, and mesenchymal precursor cells have been evaluated. Based on the above information, we propose COLLAGEN-POLYVINYLPYRROLIDONE (Distinctive name: FibroquelMR, active substance: Collagen-polyvinylpyrrolidone, pharmaceutical form: intramuscular injectable solution, with sanitary registration No. 201M95 SSA IV and SSA code: 010 000 3999) as a potential drug for the downregulation of the cytokine storm. Polymerized type I collagen reduces the expression of IL-1β, IL-8, TNF-alpha, TGF-β1, IL-17, Cox-1, leukocyte adhesion molecules (ELAM-1, VCAM- 1 and ICAM-1), some other mediators of inflammation and increases the levels of IL-10 and the number of regulatory T cells. In addition, it promotes the mechanisms of inhibition of tissue fibrosis, without adverse effects in rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis.
Knee Osteoarthritis is one of the most frequent rheumatic disorders in the population and, in many cases, it causes disability due to pain, stiffness and deformation. The drugs available for treatment cause adverse events that are sometimes very severe and, for this reason, the development of new drugs for topical administration with fewer adverse events is desirable. OBJECTIVE: To elaborate a phytopharmaceuticals for topical administration with a standardized extract of Sphaeralcea angustifolia and evaluate its efficacy and therapeutic tolerability when administered in patients diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis. MATERIAL AND METHODS: An extract will be obtained from the aerial parts of the plant species S. angustifolia with which a phytomedicine will be designed in a pharmaceutical presentation for topical administration. Once the phytomedicine has been designed, it will be scaled at the pilot plant level and the drug produced will be subjected to a clinical study in order to evaluate its efficacy and therapeutic tolerability in patients diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis. Through a double-blind, randomized, controlled clinical study with 2% diclofenac, patients will be treated topically for four weeks. The evolution of the disease will be evaluated weekly during the four weeks of treatment through the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) of function. The primary outcome variable will be: therapeutic efficacy (clinical parameters for the evolution of knee pain). The secondary outcome variables will be therapeutic tolerability (side effects that are triggered by the application of the drug), and the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) of function. A scale used to evaluate function of the knee
The design included 152 patients with confirmed heart failure (HF) evaluated in two different periods of time: a baseline before the outbreak, and other during the outbreak of which 76 patients were randomized in each group. A care and follow-up guide was used as an instrument through a face-to-face survey (baseline group) and telemedicine (group outbreak). The primary outcome was the comparison of functional class modification observed in patients
Viral infections provoke the systemic inflammatory response and cause an imbalance between the procoagulant and anticoagulant homeostatic mechanisms. Multiple pathogenic mechanisms are involved, including endothelial dysfunction, increased von Willebrand factor, Toll receptor activation, and tissue factor pathway activation. D-dimer levels greater than 1000 ng / mL are associated with an 18-fold increased risk of mortality. In this context, many patients may require prophylaxis or antithrombotic treatment with low molecular weight heparins. Currently, there is no validated scheme on the dose and timing of the use of antithrombotic drugs. The study aims to identify the effect of two anticoagulant strategies (prophylactic and therapeutic) on the progression to ventilatory support or death in patients with COVID-19 infection who require hospital care.
The investigators decided to conduct a longitudinal study that compares the pulmonary tomographic patterns found in patients with viral pneumonia (i.e. influenza H1N1 and SARS-CoV-2) at a regional hospital. The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the association between the radiological CT pattern and the need for invasive mechanical ventilation. A secondary aim is to assess the mortality within the first 28 days of intensive care unit admission.
With the appearance of the new SARS-COV2 virus, additional challenges are being imposed on the medical community after the resolution of acute COVID-19 illness, resulting in specific pathophysiologic mechanisms that while acutely damage the lung parenchyma might chronically impact the cardiopulmonary system. This study aims to investigate changes after mild COVID-19 illness in echocardiographic indices at rest and stress.

Childhood obesity is one of the most serious public health problems of the 21st century. It is considered that if there are no changes in prevention and treatment strategies there will be an increase to 70 million obese children by 2025. Of the only pharmacological treatments accepted at this age to improve insulin resistance is metformin, but it can condition gastrointestinal, muscular and hepatic adverse events. Cinnamon is an alternative therapy, which due to its high concentrations of polyphenols, improves insulin resistance by decreasing the proinflammatory environment that occurs in this group of patients, and unlike metformin with less frequent adverse events. The effectiveness of cinnamon has been demonstrated by decreasing insulin resistance in the adult population.
A global study for a better understanding of the cardiovascular conditions that increase the risk of developing severe COVID-19, and a better characterization of cardiovascular complications in hospitalized patients with COVID-19.
This study will be conducted to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of AVP-786 (deudextromethorphan hydrobromide [d6-DM]/quinidine sulfate [Q]) compared to placebo for the treatment of agitation in participants with dementia of the Alzheimer's type.
