There are about 1246 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.
This randomized, double-blinded trial will assess humoral immune responses to adjuvanted, egg-based quadrivalent influenza vaccines compared to standard dose, egg-based quadrivalent influenza vaccines among healthcare personnel (HCP). The trial will be conducted at two sites in Lima, Peru during 2022 and 2023.
The purpose of this study is to assess the protection of smallpox preexposure vaccination against infection with mpox in real-world individuals with risk factors for mpox.
One of the most common nutritional deficiencies worldwide is iron deficiency. Iron deficiency is considered the main cause of anaemia in developing countries, including those in South America. The most recent surveys report that the prevalence of anaemia is as high as, 40 and 25% in Peru. Populations living at higher altitudes may have higher iron requirements, as body iron is naturally increased in long-term high-altitude residents to compensate for the lower oxygen in the air at high altitudes. However, the effects of chronic exposure to high altitude on iron status, body iron compartments and dietary iron requirements are incompletely understood. The primary objective of the proposed research is to determine iron bioavailability of iron from biofortified potatoes at different altitudes in populations of Andean descent. Human trials will be undertaken with volunteers in the Huancavelica region of Peru (elevation: 3676 meters) as well as in Lima (elevation close to sea level). The aim is to assess the effect of altitude on the absorption from a promising iron biofortified potato cultivar. These trials require incorporation of iron stable isotopes into the meals of the bio fortified potato and the analysis of the isotopes in subsequent blood (red blood cells) samples. Stable iron istotopes are considered the golden standard to assess human iron absorption and can be safely used as tracer substances in humans. The objective of the study is to compare, in volunteer females of childbearing age, the bioavailability of iron from bio-fortified potatoes in two locations of different altitudes and quantify the effect of altitude on iron bioavailability from a potato meal consumed over 5 consecutive days.
This is a Phase IIIb, multinational, multicenter, randomized, open-label study to evaluate patient preference of the fixed-dose combination of pertuzumab and trastuzumab for subcutaneous use (PH FDC SC) administration in the home setting compared with the hospital setting during the cross-over period of adjuvant treatment in participants with early or locally advanced/inflammatory human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-positive (HER2+) breast cancer.
FUNCTION is an observational cohort study conducted by researchers from the Instituto de Medicina Tropical Alexander von Humboldt at Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia and Cayetano Heredia Hospital. The overall aim is to asses the long-term impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection on the cardiopulmonary function and quality of life in patients recovered from COVID-19, through a 6-month follow-up structured in 4 visits with clinical assessments and imaging studies performed by specialists.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and exploratory dose response of paltusotine treatment in subjects with carcinoid syndrome. This study consists of a Randomized Treatment Phase followed by an Open-Label Extension (OLE) Phase.
This is a randomized, placebo-controlled study that is being done to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of two doses of the HIL-214 vaccine compared to a placebo. The study will enroll 3000 children who will be 5 months of age at the time of the first dose study vaccine. The second dose of study vaccine will be given 28 days after the first dose.
The purpose of this study is to conduct a multi-country, multi-site, epidemiologic study designed to assess the proportion of interferon gamma release assay (IGRA) positivity, at site level, and to build capacity to conduct a future TB vaccine efficacy study.
Multicenter retrospective longitudinal analytical study of patients with neuroendocrine tumors.
Evidence of the clinical diagnostic accuracy and operational characteristics of the Bioneer IRONqPCR ™ RFIA Kit is needed to comprehensively evaluate Bioneer RFIA validity and inform global and national policy decision-making. The rapid diagnosis and appropriate treatment of M/XDR-TB is essential to prevent significant morbidity, mortality and further transmission of disease. The FQ are key components of the new bedaquiline-containing 6-9 month regimen, and so it is necessary to rule-out resistance to these compounds prior to treating patients with the shorter regimen. Currently there are no WHO endorsed tests that can identify resistance to both first and second-line drugs in one reaction.
