There are about 2656 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Puerto Rico. 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 purpose of this study is to evaluate the benefits and risks of lixisenatide (AVE0010), in comparison to placebo, as an add-on treatment to basal insulin with or without metformin over a period of 24 weeks of treatment, followed by an extension. The primary objective is to assess the effects of lixisenatide when added to basal insulin on glycemic control in terms of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) reduction at Week 24. The secondary objectives are to assess the effects of lixisenatide when added to basal insulin on body weight, 2-hour postprandial plasma glucose (PPG) after standardized meal challenge test, percentage of patients reaching HbA1c less than 7 percent (%), percentage of patients reaching HbA1c less than or equal to 6.5%, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), change in 7-point self-monitored plasma glucose (SMPG) profiles, change in basal insulin and total insulin doses; to evaluate safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and anti-lixisenatide antibody development.
This is a phase 2, two-arm, non-randomized, open-label, multicenter study evaluating the safety and efficacy of 2 VELCADE-containing regimens. Patients will be treated with either a combination of VELCADE, rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and prednisone (VELCADE-R-CAP) or a combination of VELCADE, rituximab, cyclophosphamide, and prednisone (VELCADE-R-CP) based on investigator preference. Following completion of the treatment period, patients will receive maintenance therapy with rituximab up to a maximum of 2 years.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the combination of aspirin plus clopidogrel is more effective than aspirin alone in preventing another heart attack, chest pain, stroke or death in people who have already had a heart attack that was treated with fibrinolytic therapy.
This is an intervention study whose purpose is to determine whether daily interruption of sedative infusion contributes to the reduction of the occurrence of delirium and improves sleep perception in critically ill patients. Patients in a trauma intensive care unit (TICU) receiving mechanical ventilation and continuous infusion of sedatives will be enrolled in the study. A patient will be entered into the study after the family member has consented to have the patient participate.
This is a long-term continuation study to provide continuing treatment to subjects with SLE.
The purpose of this study is to compare the safety, tolerability, and antiviral activity of the lopinavir/ritonavir tablet when administered in combination with reverse transcriptase inhibitors to lopinavir/ritonavir tablets when administered in combination with a human immunodeficiency virus type 1 ( HIV-1) integrase inhibitor in antiretroviral naive HIV-1 infected subjects.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the immunogenicity, safety, tolerability, and behavioral impact of an HPV-6, -11, -16, -18 vaccine in HIV-infected young women.
The purpose of this study is to compare the safety, tolerability and efficacy of a regimen containing once-daily elvitegravir (EVG) versus twice-daily raltegravir added to a background regimen (containing a fully-active ritonavir-boosted protease inhibitor [PI/r] and a second agent) in HIV-1 infected, antiretroviral treatment-experienced adults who have documented resistance, or at least six months experience prior to screening with two or more different classes of antiretroviral agents. Participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive EVG plus background regimen (elvitegravir arm), or raltegravir plus background regimen (raltegravir arm).
The purpose of this study is to compare the benefits and risks of lixisenatide (AVE0010) in comparison to exenatide (Byetta®), as an add-on treatment to metformin, over a period of 24 weeks of treatment, followed by an extension. The primary objective is to assess the effects of lixisenatide in comparison to exenatide (Byetta®), as an add-on treatment to metformin, on glycemic control in terms of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) reduction (absolute change) at Week 24. The secondary objectives are to assess the effects of lixisenatide on percentage of patients reaching HbA1c less than 7 percent (%) or HbA1c less than or equal to (<=) 6.5%, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), body weight; to evaluate safety, tolerability and to assess the impact of gastrointestinal tolerance on quality of life (QoL) (patient assessment of upper gastrointestinal disorders - quality of life [PAGI-QOL]).
The purpose of the this trial is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of an intramuscular (IM) depot formulation of aripiprazole as maintenance treatment in patients with schizophrenia The trial is designed into three treatment phases. Phase 1 is designed to allow for a subject to be converted from the current anti-psychotic treatment to oral non-generic aripiprazole monotherapy (oral conversion phase from 4 to 6 weeks). During Phase 2 the subject will be stabilized on oral non-generic aripiprazole monotherapy. Once the subject is stabilized in Phase 2 (oral stabilization phase from minimum 8 weeks to maximum 28 weeks), they are eligible to be randomized into the double-blind IM depot maintenance phase, Phase 3. During Phase 3, the subject will be assessed for exacerbation of psychotic symptoms and impending relapse for up to 38 weeks.
