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.
Alirocumab (SAR236553/REGN727) is a fully human monoclonal antibody that binds PCSK9 (proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9). Primary Objective of the study: To evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of alirocumab in high cardiovascular risk participants with hypercholesterolemia not adequately controlled with their current lipid modifying therapy (LMT). Secondary Objectives: - To evaluate the effect of alirocumab on low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels after 24 weeks of treatment in comparison with placebo. - To evaluate the effect of alirocumab in comparison with placebo on LDL-C at other time points. - To evaluate the effects of alirocumab on other lipid parameters.
The purpose of this study is to determine if regular soft drinks (with sugar) have the same effect on thirst as diet soft drinks(with sweeteners).
Patients with an ulcerated melanoma with Breslow >1 mm, N0M0 have a significantly higher risk for relapse than patients with a non-ulcerated primary and about a 40-50% chance of developing stage IV disease to which they will almost invariably succumb. In stage I and II patients with an ulcerated primary who have been sentinel node (SN-staged) and found to be SN-negative there is still a 25-30% relapse risk. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety when treated with PEG IFN alfa-2b for 2 years as compared to observation (no treatment), administered after adequate surgery has been performed for ulcerated primary cutaneous melanomas.
The purpose of this study is to collect safety and tolerability data on telaprevir treatment in combination with Peg‑IFN‑alfa and RBV in patients with HIV/genotype 1 chronic HCV coinfection with severe fibrosis or compensated cirrhosis who are not eligible for enrollment into an ongoing clinical study of telaprevir.
This study is conducted to evaluate the short (12 Weeks) and long term (104 Weeks) efficacy of Certolizumab Pegol compared with Adalimumab both in combination with Methotrexate (MTX) in the treatment of moderate to severe Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) that is not responding adequately to MTX.
The primary objective of the study is to assess the efficacy of BIIB023 as an add-on treatment to background therapy compared with placebo in combination with background therapy in the treatment of participants with active, biopsy-proven Lupus Nephritis. The secondary objectives of this study are to assess the safety and tolerability of BIIB023 compared with placebo in this study population. Participants who complete this study through Week 52 will be offered the option to enter an Extension study under a separate protocol 211LE202 (NCT0193089).
Primary Objective: - To compare the efficacy of insulin glargine new formulation and Lantus in terms of change in Glycated Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) from baseline to endpoint (scheduled Month 6) in adult participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus Secondary Objective: - To compare the efficacy of insulin glargine new formulation and Lantus in terms of occurrence of nocturnal hypoglycemia
This study will evaluate the noninferiority of Stribild® (elvitegravir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (E/C/F/TDF)) single-tablet regimen (STR) relative to regimens consisting of a nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) plus Truvada® (FTC/TDF) in maintaining HIV-1 RNA < 50 copies/mL at Week 48 in virologically suppressed, HIV-1 infected adults. This study will also evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of the two regimens through 96 weeks of treatment.
This trial is conducted in Asia, Europe and North America. The purpose of the trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of turoctocog alfa in prevention and treatment of bleeds in previously untreated children with haemophilia A.
The primary objective of this study was to collect additional safety of INC424 in patients with Primary Myelofibrosis, Post Polycythemia Myelofibrosis or Post-essential Thrombocythemia Myelofibrosis, who either received prior treatment with commercially available agents or who have never received treatment.
