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 purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of treatment with ABT-450 co-formulated with ritonavir and ABT-267 (ABT-450/r/ABT-267) and ABT-333; 3-DAA regimen, with or without ribavirin (RBV) in adults with chronic hepatitis C virus genotype 1 (HCV GT1) infection.
The primary objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of laquinimod as treatment in participants with HD after 52 weeks using the Unified Huntington's Disease Rating Scale Total Motor Score (UHDRS-TMS or TMS).
This study will compare the safety and effectiveness of PF-05280586 versus rituximab-EU in patients with CD20-positive, low tumor burden follicular lymphoma. The primary hypothesis to be tested in this study is that the effectiveness of PF-05280586, as measured by the Overall Response Rate, is similar to that of rituximab-EU.
Previous research has shown that applying certain treatments can reduce both the number of infections and the presence of resistant bacteria in the intensive care (ICU) and its patients. These treatments have been used as standard care throughout the world for many years, but they have not been compared to each other yet. The investigators aim to evaluate the effect of 3 different treatments on the occurrence of resistant bacteria and bacterial infections in the ICU and to establish which treatment is the best. All adult patients undergoing mechanical ventilation are eligible for this study and will receive treatment according to the study scheme. Twice weekly, sputum and rectal samples will be obtained to measure the effects. All ICU-patients will receive standard treatment, consisting of daily body washing with an antiseptic (chlorhexidine 2%), oral care and a hand-hygiene program for health care workers as endorsed by the WHO. According to 4 different study periods, each participant will receive one of the following extra treatments depending on his or her admission date: - Standard treatment only (this is the control group) - Chlorhexidine 1% oral gel, this is an antiseptic. - Antibiotic mouth paste containing 3 different antibiotics (selective oropharyngeal decontamination, SOD). - Antibiotic mouth paste and suspension for the stomach and intestines containing 3 different antibiotics (selective digestive decontamination, SDD). All treatments will be given 4 times daily with the purpose of killing harmful bacteria in the mouth (CHX, SOD,SDD) and digestive tract (SDD). During the study the investigators will examine the effect of these treatments on: - the occurrence of blood stream infections with certain bacteria - cross-transmission of certain bacteria between patients - presence of these bacteria in the respiratory tract of the patients - patient survival Benefits: Previous research has shown that these interventions can reduce infections in intensive care patients. Risks: The interventions performed (both cultures and treatment) are considered safe and are already given as standard care in many ICUs throughout the world. There is a slight risk that bacteria become resistant to antibiotics: this will be monitored closely during the trial.
This study evaluated change over time in neurocognitive testing in patients receiving statin therapy in combination with evolocumab (AMG 145), compared with patients receiving statin therapy in combination with placebo.
The purpose of this clinical study is to test the hypothesis that market released Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) devices which contain the AdaptivCRT® (aCRT) algorithm have a superior outcome compared to standard CRT devices in CRT indicated patients with normal atrio-ventricular (AV) conduction and left bundle branch block (LBBB).
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of BAY1841788 (ODM-201) in patients with non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.
- To evaluate the effects of a 32-weeks resistance and stretching training program applied in Physical Education classes on forward head and protracted shoulder Portuguese adolescents (15-17 years old). - To evaluate on adolescents submitted to strength and stretching exercises the effects of a 16-week detraining period after the end of the intervention protocol.
The main objective of this trial is to compare change in weekly average daily pain score (ADPS) from baseline to Week 13 in participants receiving either dose of DS-5565 versus placebo. Weekly ADPS is based on daily pain scores reported by the subject that best describes his or her worst pain over the previous 24 hours.
The purpose of this study is to determine the diagnostic performances of iodine contrast medium and resting conditions to predict fractional flow reserve (FFR). Reference FFR will be measured using standard adenosine. We hypothesize that contrast FFR will offer superior diagnostic agreement compared to resting conditions.
