There are about 1254 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Peru. 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 study is designed to evaluate the clinical impact of a novel strategy for tuberculosis (TB) infection control known as FAST (Find cases Actively based on cough surveillance, Separate temporarily, and Treat effectively). It is anticipated that this will decrease time to effective treatment initiation and also decrease transmission of TB to health care workers.
Rheumatic heart disease remains a major challenge in low and middle income countries. Early detection of clinically silent valvular lesions by screening echocardiography allows timely implementation of secondary antibiotic prevention, and may prevent progression of disease to severe valvular damage and heart failure. The objective of the study is to assess the prevalence of rheumatic heart disease among schoolchildren in Arequipa, Peru. Subsequently, the investigators will evaluate progression of disease in children with early stages of subclinical rheumatic heart disease. The investigators will perform a population-based observational survey for rheumatic heart disease using portable echocardiography among schoolchildren aged 5 to 16 years from randomly selected public and private schools. Rheumatic heart disease will be documented both according to the modified World Health Organization definition and the echocardiographic criteria suggested by the World Heart Federation.
People infected with HIV are at risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD). This study will evaluate the use of pitavastatin to reduce the risk of CVD in adults infected with HIV who are on antiretroviral therapy (ART). The REPRIEVE trial consists of two parallel identical protocols: - REPRIEVE (A5332) is funded by the NHLBI, with additional infrastructure support provided by the NIAID, and is conducted in U.S and select international sites (approximately 120 sites in 11 countries). - REPRIEVE (EU5332) is co-sponsored by NEAT ID and MGH, and is conducted at 13 sites in Spain.
This international, multicenter, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study is designed to compare the efficacy and safety of taselisib + fulvestrant with that of placebo + fulvestrant in postmenopausal women with estrogen receptor (ER)-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2)-negative, oncogene that encodes for phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase (PIK3CA)-mutant, unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer after recurrence or progression during or after an aromatase inhibitor (AI) therapy. There will be a 2:1 randomization to the taselisib arm versus the placebo arm. Enrollment will be enriched for participants with PIK3CA mutant tumors via central testing. The anticipated duration of the study is approximately 3.5 years.
Primary Objective: To demonstrate that sarilumab monotherapy was superior to adalimumab monotherapy with respect to signs and symptoms as assessed by disease activity score 28 (DAS28)-erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) in participants with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who were either intolerant of, or considered inappropriate candidates for continued treatment with methotrexate (MTX), or after at least 12 weeks of continued treatment with MTX, were determined to be inadequate responders. Secondary Objectives: To demonstrate that sarilumab monotherapy was superior to adalimumab monotherapy in participants with active RA who were either intolerant of, or considered inappropriate candidates for continued treatment with MTX, or after at least 12 weeks of continued treatment with MTX, were determined to be inadequate responders, with respect to: - Reduction of signs and symptoms of RA. - Improvement in quality of life assessed by participant reported outcome questionnaires. Assessment of the safety and tolerability of sarilumab monotherapy (including immunogenicity) throughout the study.
Primary Objective: To demonstrate the non-inferiority of H0E901-U300 to Lantus, in change of glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c). Secondary Objectives: To demonstrate the superiority of H0E901-U300 in comparison with Lantus in: - Percentage of participants with at least one severe and/or confirmed (by plasma glucose ≤70mg/dL [3.9mmol/L]) hypoglycemia event from 22:00 to 08:59 next morning - Percentage of participants with at least one nocturnal (from 00:00-05:59) severe and/or confirmed (≤70mg/dL [3.9mmol/L]) hypoglycemia event - Percentage of participants with at least one severe and/or confirmed (by plasma glucose ≤70mg/dL [3.9mmol/L]) hypoglycemia event occurring at any time of day - HbA1c change
This is a single-arm, multi-center, open-label extension study designed to provide continued pertuzumab therapy to patients receiving pertuzumab as an investigational medicinal product (IMP) in a Roche-sponsored global study and who continue to receive pertuzumab at the end of the Parent study, as well as to collect long-term safety and efficacy data of pertuzumab therapy. Patients with solid tumors who have not experienced progressive disease in the Parent study and, in the investigator's opinion, may potentially benefit from continued pertuzumab treatment, will continue to receive pertuzumab until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, investigator/patient decision, patient non-compliance, patient death, patient request to withdraw, or study termination by the Sponsor, whichever occurs first.
There is no evidence that patients receiving magnesium sulfate before birth are required to maintain the drug for 24 hours. Therefore the investigators will have a randomized clinical study in patients with severe preeclampsia who have been treated with impregnation of magnesium sulphate and at least eight hours have received the drug before birth. If the patient agrees and signs the consent is randomized to: 1-receive sulfate for 24 hours postpartum as usual or, 2- not receiving the postpartum magnesium sulfate or other anticonvulsant drugs. This study can be conducted in 12 maternity latin america.
The recent development of therapies targeting specific biomarkers mutations is changing the standards of care and prognosis of patients with advanced NSCLC, but very few data are currently available on those emerging biomarkers. In addition, the correlation of biomarkers with patients' clinical outcomes in a standard of care setting is poorly understood. This study aims to address that need.
