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.
Ulcerative colitis is a disease of the large bowel (colon) and rectum in which the lining of the bowel becomes red and swollen. Over time, patients with this disease may experience acute episodes of diarrhea, rectal bleeding and abdominal pain followed by periods of time without disease symptoms. 5-ASA drugs are a standard treatment for ulcerative colitis. Mesalazine is an experimental drug designed to gradually release 5-ASA into the areas of large bowel associated with ulcerative colitis. This study will test the safety and efficacy of mesalazine in keeping ulcerative colitis in remission.
To determine long-term safety and efficacy of pregabalin in patients with partial seizures.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the ZoMaxx drug-eluting stent in patients with blockage of native coronary arteries. The study is designed to demonstrate non-inferiority to the TAXUS Express2 Paclitaxel-Eluting Stent that has proven superior to bare metal stents and is a recognized standard of care.
To determine whether Lipitor reduces stroke, compared to placebo in patients who have had a previous stroke or transient ischemic attack.
The purpose of the study is to determine whether steroids decrease 28-day mortality in patients with septic shock.
The objective of this study is to determine the long term safety and tolerability of multiple oral doses of tipranavir (Aptivus) and ritonavir with a focus on the long term safety of the development dose (500 mg tipranavir/200 mg ritonavir BID) when administered with other antiretroviral medications.
The primary objective of this trial is to determine whether daily treatment with tiotropium (Spiriva®, Bromuro de Tiotropio®) inhalation capsule via HandiHaler® reduces the rate of decline in lung function over time in patients with COPD.
The objective of this study is to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of tipranavir/ritonavir versus an active control arm in highly treatment experienced Human immunodeficiency virus-1 infected patients. Patients must have a viral load > =1000 cells/mL, and genotype indicating at least one resistance conferring protease inhibitor-mutation as determined from a predefined panel of mutations. Any CD4+ count is acceptable.
To see if Disease Free Survival (DFS) is improved when complete surgical resection of liver metastases (R0) is followed by chemotherapy with CPT-11 and 5-FU/FA as FOLFIRI regimen, compared to 5-FU/FA alone.
To prevent recurrence of invasive fungal infection in patients with allogeneic stem cell transplants
