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 main objective of this study is to compare the effects of CP-690,550 with the effects of placebo in patients being treated for moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis. This one-year study will also evaluate the safety and tolerability of CP-690,550 versus placebo.
The purpose of the study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the emtricitabine (FTC)/rilpivirine (RPV)/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) single-tablet regimen (STR) compared with the efavirenz (EFV)/FTC/TDF STR in HIV-1 infected adults who had not previously received treatment with antiretroviral medications. Participants were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive one of the study treatments. Randomization was stratified by HIV-1 RNA level (≤ 100,000 copies/mL or > 100,000 copies/mL) at screening. A treatment duration of 96 weeks was planned, with the option for subjects in FTC/RPV/TDF STR arm to receive treatment following the Week 96 visit until FTC/RPV/TDF STR is commercially available or until Gilead Sciences elects to terminate development in that country.
This randomized phase III trial compares the effectiveness of caspofungin to fluconazole in preventing invasive fungal infections in patients receiving chemotherapy for acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Antifungal prophylaxis is considered standard of care in children and adults with prolonged neutropenia after chemotherapy for AML however the ideal antifungal agent for prophylaxis in children is not known. Caspofungin has activity against yeast and some molds while fluconazole coverage is limited to just yeasts. Adult randomized trials suggest that agents with activity against yeasts and molds are more effective than those with just activity against yeasts. There are limited data to answer this comparative question in children. This study will establish much needed pediatric data to guide clinical decision making on optimal antifungal prophylaxis.
The purpose of this project is to examine the feasibility of a culturally adapted, manual based Prolonged Exposure therapy intervention for the treatment of Spanish-speaking Puerto Ricans with posttraumatic stress disorder
This is a prospective non-interventional 24 month post implant registry. Any patient that receives a St. Jude Medical FDA approved implantable neuromodulation system is eligible for enrollment. A minimum of 600 patients will be enrolled from a minimum of 30 sites. Patients will be enrolled post-implant and followed for 24 months. Data are collected at enrollment (within 30 days of device implant), and routine care follow-up visits at 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 18 months and 24 months.
This is randomized, placebo controlled study to determine safety and efficacy of VGX-3100 DNA Vaccine delivered by Electroporation to adult women with biopsy-proven HPV 16 or 18 associated Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2/3 or 3.
The primary objective of this study was to assess the maintenance of efficacy of LY2216684 compared with placebo as adjunctive therapy to selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) as measured by the time-to-symptom reemergence among participants with major depressive disorder (MDD) who met randomization criteria with adjunctive LY2216684 during the stabilization period. This trial consists of two distinct periods: an open-label treatment period, which consists of two parts, 8 weeks acute open-label with movement to 12 weeks open-label stabilization if participants are in remission at end of 8 weeks (open-label for 20 weeks total) followed by a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled period for 24 weeks.
The objective of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of two different treatment regimens with BI 201335, both in combination with PegIFN/RBV) as compared to standard of care (SOC) with PegIFN/RBV alone.
This study was done to look at the level of Depo-Provera, an injectable birth control, in the blood to see whether it is affected by the anti-HIV drug Kaletra (lopinavir/ritonavir [LPV/r]). It is not known whether taking Depo-Provera together with Kaletra changes the amount of Kaletra in blood. Therefore, this study also looked at the levels of HIV and Kaletra before and after receiving a shot of Depo-Provera. This study evaluated the safety of Depo-Provera and Kaletra when they are used together. In addition to what is stated above, this study also explored any effect of Depo-Provera on the immune system.
The purpose of this study is to detect acute febrile episodes and dengue infection in five Latin American countries to assess dengue seroprevalence. Primary objectives: - To identify acute febrile episodes among the cohort in order to detect the presence of dengue infection. - To describe the dengue seroprevalence among the cohort at baseline and at the end of the study.
