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.
The study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of the intravitreal implant of dexamethasone with Anti-VEGF treatment vs. Anti-VEGF alone (with sham dexamethasone injection) in patients with subfoveal choroidal neovascularization secondary to age-related macular degeneration.
The study will examine the efficacy,safety and tolerability of combination therapy of tamsulosin and solifenacin compared to placebo and monotherapy of tamsulosin and solifenacin in the treatment of males with LUTS associated with BPH.
This patient follow-up programme was designed to describe the extent of Symbicort use in patients prescribed Symbicort as maintenance and reliever therapy in routine clinical practice in comparison with the already documented use of Symbicort as maintenance and reliever therapy in clinical therapies
This extension study will investigate the long-term safety and tolerability of multiple intravitreal injections of ranibizumab administered to patients with subfoveal choroidal neovascularization secondary to age-related macular degeneration who have been previously treated in either of the two ongoing ranibizumab studies CRFB002A2302 (EXCITE) or CRFB002A2303 (SUSTAIN
The primary objective of this study is to compare two methods of post-delivery stabilization and subsequent early respiratory care for reducing the need for MV and related secondary complications, such as BPD, in premature babies at high risk of RDS: 1. Early stabilization on nCPAP 2. Intubation, prophylactic surfactant (Curosurf®) administration shortly after delivery, and rapid extubation to nCPAP. The data obtained from this comparison will be applied to test the hypothesis that preterm neonates at risk of RDS who are treated with prophylactic surfactant + nCPAP show less need for MV when compared to infants who receive nCPAP alone.
The purpose of this Clinical Evaluation is the continued assessment of the XIENCE Everolimus Eluting Coronary Stent System (XIENCE V® and XIENCE PRIME™ EECSS) with the primary focus on clinical outcomes in the treatment of female patients with de novo coronary artery lesions, and the characterization of the female population undergoing stent implantation with a XIENCE stent.
The primary objective of this study is to assess the long-term safety and impact on disease activity and progression of Tysabri in participants with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) in a clinical practice setting.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether tapentadol (CG5503) prolonged-release (PR) tablets at doses of 100-250 mg twice daily provide a better pain relief in patients with moderate to severe chronic pain due to osteoarthritis of the knee than a placebo (a medication without active substance). In addition the tolerability of CG5503 PR will be assessed. One third of the patients will receive CG5503 and one third will receive placebo. For further comparison one third of the patients will receive oxycodone controlled release (CR) at doses of 20-50 mg twice daily which is an active approved pain medication. Please note that tapentadol ER (Extended Release) and tapentadol PR (Prolonged Release) are identical and used interchangeably. This is due to United States of America and European naming conventions.
A new immunosuppressive drug, based on the inhibition of an important enzyme in the immune system called JAK3, is being developed by Pfizer to prevent transplant rejection. In this research study, a JAK3 inhibitor or cyclosporine will be given to new kidney transplant patients for 12 months. Patients will be assigned to one of three treatment groups after receiving a kidney transplant. Two of the treatment groups will receive 2 different dosing regimens of the JAK3 inhibitor that will be taken by mouth. The third treatment group will be a standard-of-care control arm. Patients will continue to take the assigned study medication for 12 months as well as other standard transplant medications such as prednisone.
The primary objective is to assess the effect of rimonabant compared to placebo on weight loss over a period of 6 months when prescribed with a mild hypocaloric diet in obese patients with binge eating disorder. The secondary objectives are: - to assess the effect of rimonabant on the number of binge episodes per week, to assess the effect of rimonabant on eating behavior using the Binge Eating Scale (BES) and Three Factor Eating Questionnaire (TFEQ), - to evaluate the safety and tolerability of rimonabant over a period of 6 months.
