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 primary objective was to demonstrate the effect of teriflunomide, in comparison to placebo, on frequency of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) relapses in patients with relapsing forms of MS who are treated with Interferon-beta (IFN-beta). The secondary objectives were: - Assess the effect of teriflunomide, in comparison to placebo, when added to IFN-beta on: - Disease activity as measured by brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) - Disability progression - Burden of disease and disease progression as measured by brain MRI - Evaluate the safety and tolerability of teriflunomide when added to IFN-beta therapy - Assess the pharmacokinetics of teriflunomide in use in addition to baseline IFN-beta therapy - Assess associations between variations in genes and clinical outcomes (safety and efficacy) - Assess other measures of efficacy of teriflunomide such as fatigue and health-related quality of life - Assess measures of health economics (hospitalization due to relapse, including the length of stay and any admission to intensive care unit)
The purpose of this research study is to assess the long term safety of Dysport® in hemiparetic subjects with lower limb spasticity due to stroke or traumatic brain injury over repeated treatment cycles.
The purpose of this research study is to assess the efficacy of Dysport® compared to placebo in improving muscle tone in hemiparetic subjects with lower limb spasticity due to stroke or traumatic brain injury.
This extension study is designed to assess the safety of GSK Biological's HPV vaccine GSK580299 in female subjects who took part in the primary study NCT00294047 and received the control vaccine in countries for which the licensed GSK HPV vaccine is not indicated for the subject's age group (26 years and older). This study is thus conducted to enable all women who received the control placebo in the primary NCT00294047 study to receive the GSK580299 vaccine.
This randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, parallel-group study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of ocrelizumab in comparison with interferon beta-1a (Rebif) in participants with relapsing multiple sclerosis. Participants will be randomized to receive either ocrelizumab 600 mg or matching placebo intravenous (IV) as 300 mg infusions on Days 1 and 15 for the first dose and as a single infusion of 600 mg for all subsequent infusions every 24 weeks, with placebo injections matching interferon beta-1a SC three times per week; or interferon beta-1a 44 mcg SC injections three times per week (with placebo infusions matching ocrelizumab infusions every 24 weeks). Planned duration of double-blind treatment is 96 weeks. Participants who complete the 96-week double-blind treatment will have an option to enter a single-group, active-treatment, open-label extension period, providing they fulfill the eligibility criteria.
This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of bimatoprost/timolol fixed combination (GANfort®) versus latanoprost (Xalatan®) in patients with open-angle glaucoma who have never been previously treated and are at high risk for progression.
The aim of the study is to investigate the longterm impact on cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, relevant efficacy parameters (e.g., glycaemic parameters) and safety (e.g., weight and hypoglycaemia) of treatment with linagliptin in patients with type 2 diabetes at elevated cardiovascular risk receiving usual care, and compare outcome against glimepiride.
Compare efficacy and safety of Lacosamide (LCM) to Carbamazepine Controlled-Release (CBZ-CR) as monotherapy in newly or recently newly diagnosed subjects with a primary efficacy endpoint of 6-month seizure freedom. Noninferiority design to show a similar risk/benefit balance between Lacosamide (LCM) and Carbamazepine-CR (CBZ-CR).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long term safety and tolerability of fostamatinib in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
The primary objective of this observational study is to document and describe current treatment regimens and disease progression of patients with Multiple Myeloma (MMY). The aim of this registry is to provide accurate, descriptive information on the way Multiple Myeloma is treated in routine clinical practice. The registry will collect information related to the treatment received for Multiple Myeloma. About 3000 patients will take part in the study in about 28 countries. The registry will only collect information that is already in medical files regarding treatment. Patients will not be required to actively do anything in addition to what would be done without participating in this registry, nor will there be any procedures or interventions that are not already part of the current treatment.
