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 is a 107-week open-label, multi-center long-term extension study from GALLANT studies 2/22, 5, 7, 8 and 14 to monitor the safety and tolerability of oral tesaglitazar 1 mg in patients with type 2 diabetes during up to 104 weeks of treatment. The total duration, including treatment and follow-up, is 107 weeks.
The purpose of the study is to compare the efficacy of a flexible dose of Symbicort with conventional stepwise treatment according to asthma treatment guidelines in patients with persistent asthma
This is an observational study to monitor the continued effectiveness of Ventavis (inhaled iloprost) in the long-term. The study observes the effects and the safety of Ventavis inhalation therapy over at least 2 years and up to 4 years. A total of 54 patients from around 30 study sites in Europe will be included in the study. This observational study will collect information in patients receiving a medication that is already available on prescription in the participating countries. Ventavis is used to treat moderate cases of primary pulmonary hypertension.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of saredutant (or SR48968C) in patients with depression. The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of a 100 mg dose of saredutant compared to placebo in patients with depression. The secondary objectives are to evaluate the safety of saredutant, to evaluate the efficacy of saredutant on disability and quality of life in patients with depression, and to evaluate blood levels of saredutant.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the combination of clopidogrel 75mg once daily (od) plus aspirin 100mg daily (recommended dose) is better than aspirin alone (100mg daily recommended dose) for preventing vascular events such as stroke and heart attack during approximately three years of follow-up in patients with atrial fibrillation associated with at least one major risk factor of vascular event such as elderly, blood pressure increase, history of stroke or transient ischemic attack or left ventricular dysfunction etc. The study will also accept patients with atrial fibrillation and unwilling to take oral anticoagulant therapy.
The purpose of this study was to determine if Irbesartan compared to Placebo would reduce the risk of vascular events such as heart attack, stroke, non-cerebral thromboembolic event and death in patients with Atrial Fibrillation (AF) and with at least one major risk of vascular events.
The purpose of the study was to compare the efficacy of 2 different Etanercept regimens for the treatment of skin and joint manifestations of psoriatic arthritis.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the combination of Clopidogrel 75mg once daily (od) plus aspirin at 100mg daily (recommended dose) is as effective as oral anticoagulation therapy with a lower risk of bleeding in patients with atrial fibrillation associated with at least one major cardiovascular risk factor.Primary objectives :The combination of clopidogrel plus aspirin compared to adjusted dose (INR between 2.0 and 3.3) oral anticoagulation (a vitamin K antagonist) will result in the same risk of the composite outcome of stroke, non-CNS systemic embolism, myocardial infarction or vascular death in patients with atrial fibrillation.The secondary objective is to establish whether or not aspirin plus clopidogrel has a lower risk of hemorrhage than standard anticoagulation therapy.
This is a two phase study (randomised and non-randomised phase). The randomised phase will initially examine 4 blinded doses of GW640385 boosted with rtv (with continuation of current background therapy) in comparison to an ongoing, open-labeled rtv-boosted protease inhibitor (PI) regimen for 15 days. At the Day 15 visit, all subjects will optimize background therapy. Additionally, subjects receiving the lowest dose of GW640385 will be re-randomised to one of the higher doses and subjects in the control arm will receive a new rtv-boosted PI based on resistance testing at screening. Subjects will remain in the randomized phase on one of these 4 continuing treatment arms for at least 48 weeks. An interim analysis will occur during the randomised phase to select for a dose of GW640385 to evaluate further in Phase III studies. After dose selection subjects will move to the non-randomised phase of the study. In the non-randomised phase subjects who are receiving GW640385 will be assigned to final selected dose for assessment of long term safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and antiviral activity.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of Faslodex (fulvestrant) to Nolvadex (tamoxifen) as first-line treatment for postmenopausal women with advanced breast cancer. Patients will be treated until disease progression or until the investigator has determined that treatment is not in the best interest of the patient, whichever occurs first.
