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.
This study will examine whether Fx-1006A is effective in halting the progression of Familial Amyloid Polyneuropathy (FAP). Deposition of TTR amyloid is associated with a variety of human diseases. Deposition of amyloid fibrils of variant TTR (primarily V30M) in peripheral nerve tissue produces the condition called FAP. The prevention of the formation of amyloid by stabilization of the TTR native state should constitute an effective therapy for amyloid diseases. Therapeutic intervention with a TTR stabilizer drug, such as Fx-1006A, is hypothesized to stop progression of the disease in FAP patients. FAP is a uniformly fatal disease and Fx-1006A is intended to halt the relentless neurological deterioration FAP patients experience. This Phase 2/3 study will enroll early to mid-stage FAP patients in order to interrupt and stabilize the disease at a point in time where progression of motor and autonomic dysfunction can be maximally effected. Male and female patients with FAP with documented V30M TTR mutation will receive Fx-1006A or placebo once daily for a period of eighteen (18) months.
This was a Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the human anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) monoclonal antibody adalimumab (ADA) in patients with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC).
This study will investigate the effect of TCH346 compared to placebo in delaying the need for symptomatic treatment with dopaminergic agents
Primary objective: To demonstrate the non-inferiority of insulin glargine in comparison to insulin detemir in term of percentage of patients who reach the target of HbA1c < 7% at the end of the treatment period and do not experience symptomatic hypoglycemia, confirmed by plasma glucose (PG) ≤ 56 mg/dL (3.1 mmol/L) Secondary objectives: - To compare between the 2 treatment groups, the percentage of patients who reach the target of HbA1c < 7% and < 6.5% at the end of the treatment period - To compare the changes in HbA1c and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) - To compare the evolution of blood glucose profiles - To compare the day to day FPG variability, the insulin doses - To determine in each treatment group the biochemical and patient-related determinants of failure to reach HbA1c targets - To compare the overall incidence and rate of symptomatic hypoglycemia and nocturnal symptomatic hypoglycemia confirmed by PG ≤ 56 mg/dL (3.1 mmol/L) - To compare over the treatment period, the overall incidence and rate of symptomatic hypoglycemia and symptomatic nocturnal hypoglycemia (with PG ≤ 70 mg/dL [3.9 mmol/L]), of symptomatic day-time hypoglycemia (with PG ≤ 70 mg/dL and with PG ≤ 56 mg/dL), of severe hypoglycemia, of asymptomatic hypoglycemia with PG ≤ 56 mg/dL - To compare the overall safety: incidence of adverse events (including serious hypoglycemia and local tolerance at injection site), change in body weight, in waist circumference and in waist / hip ratio - To assess the quality of life and treatment satisfaction
The study is a 24 months randomized, double-blind, Placebo-controlled, multi-center clinical trial with an optional 12 months open label extension. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of fetal bovine serum [FBS]-free/human serum albumin [HSA]-free formulation of Interferon [IFN] beta-1a (RNF) 44 microgram (three times weekly and once weekly) versus placebo on the time to conversion to McDonald multiple sclerosis (MS) criteria (2005) in subjects with a first clinical demyelinating event at high risk of converting to MS. The main secondary objective of study is to evaluate the effect of RNF 44 microgram (three times weekly and once weekly) versus placebo on the "Time to conversion to clinically definite MS (CDMS)" in subjects with a first clinical demyelinating event at high risk of converting to MS. At the end of 24 month double-blind core REFLEX trial, subjects who will not convert to CDMS and decide to receive open-label (OL) treatment will be enrolled into an open-label, 12 month extension period to evaluate the effect of RNF 44 mcg three times weekly treatment on the time to conversion to McDonald MS and time to conversion to CDMS.
The purpose of this Clinical Evaluation is a continuation in the assessment of the performance of the XIENCE V® Everolimus Eluting Coronary Stent System (XIENCE V® EECSS) in the treatment of patients with de novo coronary artery lesions.
The purpose of Part 1 of the study is to determine the safety of the combination of Siltuximab (CNTO 328) and bortezomib (Velcade). The purpose of Part 2 of the study is to compare the length of progression free survival for those patients given CNTO 328 and bortezomib to those patients given bortezomib alone.
Contemporary management of cyanotic congenital heart disease includes three stages of surgery. Incidence of shunt thrombosis and death between the two first stages of palliation remains important. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of Clopidogrel 0.2 mg/kg/day for the reduction of all cause mortality and shunt related morbidity in neonates or infants with cyanotic congenital heart disease palliated with a systemic-to-pulmonary artery shunt (e.g. modified Blalock Taussig Shunt [BTS]). The secondary objective was to assess the safety of Clopidogrel in the study population.
This 2 arm study will compare the efficacy and safety of Mircera and darbepoetin alfa, administered at extended dosing intervals, in the maintenance treatment of anemia in patients with chronic kidney disease who are on hemodialysis. Eligible patients receiving once-weekly intravenous darbepoetin alfa maintenance treatment will be randomized to receive either intravenous Mircera once a month (at a starting dose of 120, 200 or 360 micrograms/month, depending on the weekly dose of darbepoetin alfa prior to start of study) or intravenous darbepoetin alfa every 2 weeks before switching to once monthly administration. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.
This is a phase 3 randomized trial evaluating the anti-tumor activity and safety of sunitinib combined with docetaxel versus docetaxel, administered as first-line treatment, in patients with unresectable locally recurrent or metastatic breast cancer.
