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.
DNA vaccines, which are small pieces of DNA also known as plasmids, have several advantages over traditional vaccines such as live attenuated virus and recombinant protein-based vaccines. DNA vaccines appear to be well tolerated in humans. Therefore, the investigators have developed our DNA vaccine, VGX-3100, to include plasmids targeting E6 and E7 proteins of both HPV subtypes 16 and 18. The investigators have chosen to deliver our candidate vaccines via electroporation (EP) using the CELLECTRA constant current device to deliver a small electric charge following intramuscular (IM) injection, since animal studies have shown that this delivery method increases the immune response to our DNA vaccine leading to a decrease in the size of tumors caused by HPV 16 and 18. In study HPV-001, the vaccine was given to subjects with a history of CIN 2 and 3 who had been previously treated by surgery. This study is proposed to vaccinate the same subjects with a fourth dose of the VGX-3100 to determine the safety and immune response.
Genotype 1: Participants with genotype 1 hepatitis C (HCV) infection were randomized to receive sofosbuvir (GS-7977; PSI-7977) 200 mg or 400 mg, or matching placebo, plus pegylated interferon alfa 2a (PEG) and ribavirin (RBV) for 12 weeks, followed by PEG+RBV for an up to an additional 36 weeks. Randomization was stratified by IL28B status (CC, CT, TT) and HCV RNA level (< 800,000 IU/ml or ≥ 800,000 IU/ml) at baseline. Participants were randomized in a 2:2:1 manner; those who achieved an extended rapid virologic response (eRVR) (HCV RNA < lower limit of detection [15 IU/mL] from Weeks 4 through 12) received an additional 12 weeks of PEG+RBV. Subjects not achieving eRVR received an additional 36 weeks of PEG+RBV. Genotype 2 and 3: Participants with genotype 2 or 3 hepatitis C (HCV) received sofosbuvir 400 mg plus PEG+RBV for 12 weeks.
The purpose of this study is to assess if LY2216684 (flexible dose of 12 to 18 milligrams [mg] or fixed dose of 6 mg once daily) is superior to placebo once daily in the adjunctive treatment of participants with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) who were identified as partial responders to an adequate course of treatment with a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) during an 8-week, double-blind, acute adjunctive treatment phase.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of different doses of methotrexate (MTX) when taken with adalimumab in subjects with early rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
This study will investigate the efficacy of both low and high doses of methotrexate (MTX) in combination with open-label adalimumab (ADA) in patients who have had an inadequate response to high dose of MTX. The study will also evaluate the pharmacokinetics and safety of the two regimens of MTX in combination with ADA in participants with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
The purpose of this study is to compare overall survival in participants with metastatic colorectal cancer treated with either ramucirumab and FOLFIRI or placebo and FOLFIRI.
The study is to investigate whether HCV GT1 patients with a history of non-response/relapse to PegIFN + RBV benefit from treatment with triple therapy of DEB025 plus Peg-IFN and ribavirin compared to triple treatment with placebo matching DEB025 plus Peg-IFN and ribavirin
This trial is conducted in Africa, Asia, Europe, and North and South America. The aim of this trial is to determine the long term effect of liraglutide on cardiovascular events in subjects with type 2 diabetes.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether BMS-790052 added to Peginterferon Alfa-2a and ribavirin can result in higher cure rates in patients who previously failed therapy and may have limited response to retreatment with Peginterferon Alfa-2a and ribavirin alone.
The purpose of the study is to compare the survival of participants who receive chemotherapy and ramucirumab versus chemotherapy alone as second line treatment for NSCLC after prior first line platinum-based chemotherapy.
