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.
Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic disease of unknown cause that results in scarring of the lung and there is a high unmet medical need for effective treatment to halt lung function decline, delay or avoid exacerbation (flare-ups), and ultimately to reduce the death rate. In a large Phase 2 trial (1199.30) (NCT00514683), investigating the effects of 52 weeks of treatment with BIBF 1120 in patients with IPF, a positive effect was seen on lung function of patients treated with high dose of BIBF 1120 compared to placebo. Hence it is the purpose of this trial to investigate and confirm the efficacy and safety of BIBF 1120 at a high dose in treating patients with IPF, compared with placebo. The trial will be conducted as a prospective, randomised design with the aim to collect safety and efficacy data. Respiratory function is globally accepted for assessment of treatment effects in IPF patients. The chosen endpoint (Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) decline) is easy to obtain and is part of the usual examinations done in IPF patients.
The objective of this trial is to collect evidence for the safety and efficacy of 24 weeks of treatment with BI 201335 240 mg in combination with 24 or 48 weeks of Pegylated Interferon (PegIFN) and ribavirin (RBV) in treatment experienced patients who have been withdrawn from PegIFN and RBV treatment due to lack of efficacy in the 1220.7, 1220.30 and 1220.47 trials.
The purpose of this trial is to assess the antiviral activity and safety of a dolutegravir (DTG) containing regimen in HIV-1 infected, antiretroviral therapy (ART)-experienced adults with current or historical failure on an integrase inhibitor (INI) containing regimen. The study will assess DTG 50mg twice daily administered initially with the current failing ART regimen but then with an optimised background ART regimen (OBR) after Day 7. The first analyses will be conducted after the last subject enrolled has completed 24 weeks. Subjects may remain on study after Week 24.
The main objective of the study is the assessment of the overall graft rejection rate (acute, chronic and subclinical) between a treatment with ATG-Fresenius administered in addition to standard treatment consisting of CellCept® or Myfortic®/TAC and without corticosteroids and a treatment consisting of CellCept® or Myfortic®/TAC and corticosteroids during the first year after renal transplantation.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of a treatment with TMC435 in combination with peginterferon alfa-2a and ribavirin in patients who did not clear their hepatitis C infection with peginterferon alfa-2a and ribavirin alone within a previous trial conducted by Tibotec, or who participated in Tibotec trials in which antivirals directed against hepatitis C virus (HCV) were evaluated for short periods of time.
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 study to compare the progression free survival, overall response rate (ORR) and safety of participants treated with lenvatinib 24 mg by continuous once daily oral dosing versus placebo. The study is conducted in 3 phases: a Prerandomization Phase (screening and baseline period), a Randomization Phase (double-blind treatment period), and an Extension Phase (Optional Open Label (OOL) Lenvatinib Treatment Period and a follow-up period).
An open-label study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of GSK1605786A 500 mg twice daily over 108 weeks in adult subjects with Crohn's disease. Subjects completing previous GSK-sponsored studies with GSK1605786A or subjects who withdraw early from Study CCX114157 (maintenance study of GSK1605786A) due to worsening of Crohn's disease requiring a treatment change may be eligible to participate. The primary objective is to evaluate the safety of GSK1605786A, as assessed by recording of adverse events, clinical laboratory parameters, vital signs and electrocardiogram. Secondary objectives will include assessments of effectiveness of long-term treatment with GSK1605786A. Health outcomes assessments will include changes in Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (IBDQ), SF-36v2, EQ-5D, Work and Productivity Activity Impairment-Crohn's Disease (WPAI-CD) and receipt of disability.
This study will describe the long-term safety and effectiveness, treatment patterns,and patient reported quality of life associated with ranibizumab treatment in routine clinical practice for all approved indication included in the local product label.
This study is a phase 2, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, active placebo-controlled trial of AMG 479 or placebo in combination with gemcitabine as first-line therapy for locally advanced unresectable adenocarinoma of the pancreas. Approximately 150 subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to AMG 479 and gemcitabine, or gemcitabine and placebo. Randomization will be stratified by ECOG (0 or 1). Gemcitabine will be given on days 1, 8, and 15, followed by AMG 479 on days 1 and 15 of every 28 day cycle. Treatment will continue until radiographic disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or start of a new anti-cancer therapy.
A randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of two doses (500 mg once daily and 500 mg twice daily) of GSK1605786A in maintaining remission over 52 weeks in adult subjects with Crohn's disease. Efficacy will be assessed by the Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) score. Eligible subjects will have achieved response (CDAI decrease of at least 100 points) and/or remission (CDAI less than 150) in a prior GSK sponsored induction study. The primary endpoint will be proportion of subjects in remission at both Weeks 28 and 52. Safety will be assessed by recording of adverse events, clinical laboratory parameters including liver function tests, vital signs and electrocardiogram. Population pharmacokinetics will evaluate the two doses of GSK1605786A. Health outcomes assessments will include changes in Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (IBDQ), SF-36v2, EQ-5D, Work Productivity and Activity Impairment - Crohn's Disease (WPAI-CD) and disability.
