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.
This study aims to study the effects of TYSABRI® treatment on fatigue and cognition in patients with relapsing forms of MS.
Stage 1 of the study is designed to provide data about the risk-benefit of 4 dose regimens of indacaterol (75, 150, 300 & 600 µg o.d.) in order to select two doses to carry forward into study Stage 2. Study Stage 2 will provide pivotal confirmation of efficacy, safety, and tolerability of the selected indacaterol doses in patients with COPD
This study will evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of agomelatine 25 mg or 50 mg per day and will compare agomelatine and paroxetine tolerability. Eligible patients will receive double-blind study medication for 8 weeks. One week after completion of the double-blind treatment phase there will be a single follow-up visit.
Asthma is a major public health problem among Puerto Ricans. Little is known, however, about the effect of heredity and environment on the development and severity of asthma in this population. This study will examine the relationship between asthma and certain genetic and environmental factors in Puerto Rican children.
This 2 arm study will compare the effects of aleglitazar and Actos, added to preexisting oral antihyperglycemic therapy and/or diet and exercise, on renal function in patients with type 2 diabetes, and normal or mildly impaired renal function. Eligible patients will be randomized to receive either aleglitazar 0.6mg p.o. or Actos 45mg p.o. daily. Renal function and efficacy parameters will be assessed at intervals during the treatment period. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.
This 4 arm study will evaluate the tolerability, efficacy and pharmacodynamics of different doses of a GLP-1 analogue in patients with type 2 diabetes who are treated with a stable dose of metformin. Patients will be randomized to receive either subcutaneous placebo, or subcutaneous GLP-1 analogue (at a dose of 20mg, or a starting dose of 20mg escalating to either 30mg or 40mg), weekly. All patients will continue on their existing metformin treatment regimen throughout the study. The anticipated time on study treatment is <3 months, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.
Bacterial meningitis infection is common in youth 2 to 24 years of age in the United States. This disease can be treated by antibiotics, but mortality rates associated with meningitis of up to 53% have been estimated. Vaccination against meningitis may be effective in preventing this disease, especially for HIV-infected youth who have weakened immune systems. The purpose of this study was to determine the safety of and immune response to a preventive meningitis vaccine in HIV-infected youth.
This is a randomized, open-label, 2-arm, controlled, phase 2, multi-center, estimation clinical trial of docetaxel and cisplatin combination chemotherapy with and without panitumumab in the first-line treatment of subjects with metastatic or recurrent head and neck cancer, as well as a cross-over second-line panitumumab monotherapy of subjects who fail the chemotherapy only arm. This study will be conducted in the United States. Approximately 150 subjects with histologically or cytologically confirmed metastatic and/or recurrent SCCHN.
Participants who completed the FE200486 CS21 study (NCT00295750) could enter the FE200486 CS21A study. The study continued until all non-discontinued participants had received treatment for at least 5 years.
To determine if treatment with BG00012 can decrease the number of MS relapses during a certain time period. Other goals of the study are to determine if, over time, BG00012 treatment can decrease the number of certain types of brain lesions commonly seen in MS patients and slow down the time it takes for MS to get worse. Other objectives of the study are to determine the safety and tolerability of BG00012, as well as the effect it may have on tests and evaluations used to assess MS. Additionally, glatiramer acetate is being used to compare its benefits and risks with placebo and BG00012.
