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 primary objective of this study is to compare the effect of panitumumab versus cetuximab on overall survival (OS) for chemorefractory metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) among patients with wild-type Kirsten rat Sarcoma-2 virus (KRAS) tumors.
This study will test whether darapladib can safely lower the chances of having a cardiovascular event (such as a heart attack or urgent coronary revascularization (e.g. medical procedures performed to restore the normal blood flow in patients with atherosclerosis)) when treatment is started within 30 days after an acute coronary syndrome (also called ACS).
RATIONALE: PF-00299804 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. It is not yet known whether PF-00299804 is more effective than a placebo in treating patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying PF-00299804 to see how well it works compared with a placebo in treating patients with stage IIIB or stage IV non-small cell lung cancer that has not responded to standard therapy for advanced or metastatic cancer.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the safety and tolerability of dutogliptin over 52 weeks.
The primary study objective was to compare the rate of "all hypoglycemia" (composite outcome of the following hypoglycemia events: symptomatic hypoglycemia episodes, low continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS) excursions confirmed by fingerstick blood glucose (FSBG), low FSBG readings performed at other times) between children treated with Lantus (insulin glargine) and Neutral Protamine Hagedorn (NPH) insulin. Secondary objectives were to compare insulin glargine and NPH in terms of: - rates of specific types of hypoglycemia: symptomatic, severe, nocturnal, nocturnal symptomatic, and severe nocturnal symptomatic hypoglycemia - HbA1c change from baseline to end-of-treatment, and HbA1c at end-of-treatment - percentage of patients reaching HbA1c less than 7.5% (target value) at end of treatment - average blood glucose over whole trial and at end of trial, as estimated by continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), and blood glucose variability
Adherence to highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) is critical to successful treatment of HIV. This study tested an intervention that helps people infected with HIV take all their medications when and how they were supposed to.
This 3-part study evaluated the efficacy and safety of tocilizumab in patients with active polyarticular-course juvenile idiopathic arthritis who have an inadequate response to, or were intolerant of methotrexate. In Part I of the study, all patients received intravenous (iv) infusions of tocilizumab (8 mg/kg for patients ≥ 30kg, 8 mg/kg or 10 mg/kg for patients < 30kg) every 4 weeks for 16 weeks. In Part II of the study, patients with an adequate response in Part I were randomized to receive either tocilizumab at the same dose as in Part I or placebo every 4 weeks for up to 24 weeks. In Part III of the study, patients received tocilizumab at the same dose as in Part I every 4 weeks for up to another 64 weeks. Standard of care therapy with or without non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID), corticosteroids, or methotrexate was continued throughout the study.
This study assesses the long-term safety and tolerability of dasatinib administered to patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia or Philadelphia chromosome positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia and experienced clinical benefit from treatment with dasatinib or imatinib in previous protocols.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate benefits and risks of lixisenatide (AVE0010), in comparison to sitagliptin, as an add-on treatment to metformin, in obese (body mass index [BMI] greater than or equal to 30 kilogram per square meter [kg/m^2]) type 2 diabetic patients less than 50 years of age, over a period of 24 weeks of treatment. The primary objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of lixisenatide, in comparison to sitagliptin, as an add-on treatment to metformin on a composite endpoint of glycemic control in terms of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and body weight, at Week 24. Secondary objectives are to assess the effects of lixisenatide, in comparison to sitagliptin, as an add-on treatment to metformin on absolute changes in HbA1c values and body weight; fasting plasma glucose (FPG); plasma glucose, insulin, C-peptide, glucagon, and proinsulin during a 2-hour standardized meal test; insulin resistance assessed by homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR); beta cell function assessed by homeostatic model assessment of beta-cell function (HOMA-beta); to evaluate safety, tolerability, and anti-lixisenatide antibody development.
This study will examine the safety and efficacy of albiglutide in combination with insulin glargine as compared with the combination of insulin glargine and preprandial lispro insulin in subjects with type 2 diabetes.
