There are about 3194 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Portugal. 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.
To compile characteristics of real-world outcomes for Boston Scientific Corporation's commercially approved Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) Systems, when used according to the applicable Directions for Use, for the treatment of Essential Tremor.
The present study aims to optimize the use of systemic therapy relative to local tumor ablation in a prospective randomized clinical trial and to validate the existence and characterize the clinical and pathology phenotype of oligometastatic (OM) prostate cancer (OM-PCa). For local tumor ablation we propose to use the novel non-invasive and highly effective technique of Image-Guided Single Dose Radiotherapy (SDRT), which we showed is capable of conferring long-term local relapse-free rates in ≥ 90% of metastatic PCa lesions. Concomitantly, we will develop, validate and implement a diagnostic algorithm for OM-PCa and functionally characterize Prostate Cancer Stem Cells (pCSCs) from human samples to correlate their molecular phenotypes with tumor response to treatment. The long-term aim is to define the indications, standardization of treatment protocols and outcome for OM-PCa. Response assessment will be via local control, metastasis-free survival and overall survival rates. Cases displaying the clinical OM phenotype, as disclosed via long-term disease remission following tumor ablation, will represent the basis to identify the molecular signatures of OM-PCa. These signatures will be used to develop and validate an algorithm to predict the OM phenotype upfront and define the treatment strategy that may lead to cure.
The aim is to study bone and soft tissue response to zirconia immediate implants.Volumetric changes will be measured before tooth extraction and after final crow placement.
The purpose of this Post-Approval Study (PAS) is to evaluate the long-term performance of the Model 4798 Left Ventricular (LV) lead in a real-world patient population. Patients will be followed for the duration of the PAS. This study is required by FDA as a condition of approval of the Model 4798 LV lead and is integrated within the Product Surveillance Registry (PSR).
The purpose of the trial is to evaluate a patient's response to a Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor (FGFR) inhibitor, futibatinib (TAS-120), used either alone or in combination with the hormonal therapy, fulvestrant. This study will be conducted in patients with metastatic breast cancer who have specific Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor gene abnormalities and who have previously received conventional therapies to treat their breast cancer, or who are not able to tolerate certain cancer therapies. This study will also evaluate the safety of taking futibatinib, or futibatinib and fulvestrant, by learning about the potential side effects.
A 16 weeks 3-weekly supervised and adapted physical exercise program will be applied to breast cancer survivors in surveillance and, in estrogen receptor positive cases, under hormonotherapy. The program will be applied in group classes of 20 participants, in the facilities of one local gymnasium, by fitness instructors included in the investigation team. Investigators will evaluate the Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL), physical activity, cardiopulmonary fitness, upper limb strength and lower limb functionality. The investigators also aim to evaluate the safety of the program and oncological outcomes such as symptoms related to disease and its treatment and, also, overall survival and disease free survival.
This is a pivotal phase 3 study designed to support an indication for the reduction of cardiovascular risk in patients with established CVD and elevated Lp(a)
Levels of activity and physical condition among adolescents are low, increasing the risk of chronic diseases. The most recent literature suggests that physical activity and physical condition are correlated with improved biopsychosocial variables of the young. The School and, concretely, the Physical Education classes are privileged spaces, promoters of positive changes for the rest of the life. HIIT is an efficient alternative to the invested time compared to aerobic training, being a powerful stimulus in improving cardiorespiratory performance, muscles oxidative capacity and sensitivity to insulin. This study intends to verify the effectiveness and feasibility in the implementation of HIIT in High-School Physical Education classes. The activity levels and physical condition of the adolescents will be evaluated and identified, before and after 16 weeks of implementation of the training program, as well as their effects on the motivation for the practice.
An Open-label Study to Evaluate the Safety and Pharmacokinetics of Migalastat HCl in Subjects with Fabry Disease and Amenable GLA Variants and Severe Renal Impairment (SRI) or End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD)
This study is divided into two parts: Part 1: An interventional study, with a pre-post study design to determinate the grade of knowledge of established GC risk factors. Part 2: An observational study to know impact on prevalence and infection eradication of H. pylori
