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 AC-065A302 (GRIPHON) study is an event-driven Phase 3 study to demonstrate the effect of selexipag on time to first morbidity or mortality event in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension.
Rationale: Gathering medical information and tumor samples from patients with male breast cancer may help doctors learn more about the disease. Purpose retrospective part: to perform a large international retrospective analysis of clinical and biological data of male BC patients treated in the participating centers from 1990 to 2010. Purpose prospective part: to create a registry of men with breast cancer for a period of 30 months (starting early 2014).
The purpose of this study is to determine whether atazanavir powder combined with ritonavir is safe and well tolerated and produces appropriate drug exposure in children ≥3 months to <6 years of age.
This randomized, double-blind, active-controlled study evaluates the efficacy and safety of a weekly dose of albiglutide as compared with sitagliptin. Subjects who are renally impaired with a historical diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus and whose glycemia is inadequately controlled on their current regimen of diet and exercise or their antidiabetic therapy of metformin, thiazolidinedione, sulfonylurea, or any combination of these oral antidiabetic medications will be recruited into the study.
The objective of this study is to obtain a better understanding of the spectrum of use of mechanical ventilation in intensive care units: 1. Main analysis: To know the all-cause mortality rate in mechanically ventilated patients 2. Secondary analyses: - To know the current status of mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit and determine the number and percentage of patients who are admitted to an intensive care unit and require mechanical ventilation. - To compare the results with prior data collected in previous observational studies (1998 and 2004) - Non-invasive positive pressure ventilation - Weaning - Use of adjuvant therapies as steroids or selective digestive decontamination - Sedation including prevalence of delirium in mechanically ventilated patients - Prediction of the duration of mechanical ventilation - Other
This is a 6 week study to investigate the effectiveness and safety of BI 671800 ED in patients with asthma who do not take inhaled corticosteroids.
To efficiently control soil-transmitted helminths (Ascaris, Trichuris, and hookworm), WHO, PAHO, and others recommend the inclusion of an education strategy in school-based deworming programs. However, the effectiveness of such a strategy on the rate of STH re-infection and on education indicators, such as absenteeism, remains to be fully understood. The proposed research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a post-deworming education intervention targeted to Grade 5 school children enrolled in Belén's schools using a cluster-randomized trial design. Results will be used to inform school-based deworming programs in Peru and other similar endemic areas in Latin America and, indeed, around the world.
The primary objective of this randomized, open-label, active-controlled, multi-center trial is to determine the efficacy of BIBW 2992 given as an add-on to chemotherapy in patients with NSCLC Stage IIIb or IV progressing after BIBW 2992 monotherapy compared to chemotherapy alone in this patient population. Patients on both treatment arms will receive best supportive care in addition to study treatment. Patients enrolled into the trial will be treated and followed until death or lost to follow-up. Additional information on the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) will be collected.
Primary Objective: Phase 1: To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD)/maximum administered dose (MAD) of SAR650984 (Isatuximab). Phase 2 (stage 1): To evaluate the activity of single-agent Isatuximab at different doses/schedules and to select dose and regimen to further evaluate the overall response rate (ORR) of Isatuximab as single agent or in combination with dexamethasone. Phase 2 (stage 2): To evaluate the activity in terms of overall response rate (ORR) of Isatuximab at the selected dose/schedule from stage1, as single agent (ISA arm) and in combination with dexamethasone (ISAdex arm). Secondary Objectives: Phase 1: - To characterize the global safety profile including cumulative toxicities. - To evaluate the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of Isatuximab in the proposed dosing schedule(s). - To assess the pharmacodynamics (PD), immune response, and preliminary disease response. Phase 2 (stage 1): to evaluate the following objectives for Isatuximab as single agent: - Safety - Efficacy as measured by duration of response, clinical benefit rate, progression free survival, overall survival. Phase 2 (stage 2): to evaluate the following objectives in each arm (ISA and ISAdex): - Safety - Efficacy as measured by duration of response, clinical benefit rate, progression free survival, overall survival. - Participant-reported changes in health-related quality of life, symptoms of multiple myeloma and generic health status. - Pharmacokinetic profile of Isatuximab. - Immunogenicity of Isatuximab. - Investigate the relationship between CD38 receptor density and CD38 receptor occupancy (Stage 1 only) on multiple myeloma cells and parameters of clinical response.
Major surgeries not involving the heart are common, and major heart problems during or after such surgeries represent a large population health problem. Few treatments to prevent heart problems around the time of surgery have been tested. There is encouraging data suggesting that small doses of Acetyl-Salicylic Acid (ASA) and Clonidine, which are two medications, given individually for a short period before and after major surgeries may prevent major heart problems. The POISE-2 Trial is a large international study to test if ASA and Clonidine can prevent heart attacks and deaths from heart problems around the time of surgery.
