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 multicenter, open-label, non-comparative, three-arm, phase IIa trial of Ipatasertib (GDC-0068) in combination with non-taxane chemotherapy agents for taxane-pretreated unresectable locally advanced or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer patients
The primary objective of this study is to assess the chronic safety and performance of the Axone left ventricular (LV) micro-lead.
This study aims to assess the performance of an ultrasonic system for automatic classification of cataract type and severity, as well as the estimation of the optimal phacoemulsification energy. Ultrasonic signals from the lens will be acquired with the Experimental Medical Device (ESUS) in participants with cataract, and in healthy subjects (control). The proposed technique may represent an important advance in cataract treatment. The quantitative and automatic classification of cataract type and severity, and the estimation of the optimal phacoemulsification energy is may represent a valuable tool for surgical planning, reducing complications associated to excessive levels of phacoemulsification energy, as well as the times spent on surgeries. This device may be relevant not only for patients, but also for public health systems, reducing waiting lists and associated costs.
HR+/HER2-negative BC represent ∼70% of all newly diagnosed breast tumours and are responsible for most recurrences and deaths due to this disease, and despite available standard therapies, ∼15-20% of hormone tumours recur at distant sites. As BC is a clinically and biologically heterogeneous disease, intrincsic subtype may play an important role in classifying patients. In this case, HER2-E subtype is present in approximately 6.6-11.0% of HR+/HER2-negative tumors and might express either HER2, estrogen receptor (ER) or progesterone receptor (PR), we also know that HER2-E is present twice as much in metastatic tumors compared to primary tumors and that HER2-E patients may benefit in terms of PFS form an anti-HER2 drug as was showed using retrospective sample in EGF30008 trial. Therefore, incorporation of novel drugs in combination with endocrine therapy (ET) can improve patient outcomes in HR+/HER2-negative BC advanced disease specially in those with HER2-E subtype. Methods NEREA is an open-label, single arm, multicenter phase II study evaluating treatment with neratinib in combination with ET in pre and post-menopausal women and men with locally advanced or metastatic HER2-enriched (HER2-E), HR+/HER2-negative breast cancer who had recurrence or progression while receiving previous ET (either aromatase inhibitors, tamoxifen or fulvestrant) in the adjuvant setting or to treat advanced disease or both. The study will follow a Simon's 2-stage design with one interim and one final efficacy analysis. The primary objective will is assess the efficacy of neratinib in combination with ET is this group of patients, efficacy will be measured as Progression-Free Survival at 6 months (PFS6) defined as the proportion of patients alive and without progression, locally assessed by the investigator through the use of RECIST v.1.1 at 24 weeks after first treatment administration, imaging evaluation will be performed every 8 weeks for the first 12 months following treatment start, and every 12 weeks thereafter. Secondary endpoints include Clinical Benefit Rate at 6 months , Overall Response rate, Duration of response, Time to response and Incidence, duration and severity of Adverse Events. The interim analysis will be conducted when 33 patients are evaluable for the primary endpoint having the potential for at least 3 'on treatment' disease assessment scans. If less than 15 patients achieved a PFS6, the trial will be terminated for futility in favor of the null hypothesis. If more than 28 patients achieved a PFS6, the trial will be stopped in favor of the alternative hypothesis demonstrating activity. If none of the two above-mentioned conditions are attain, up to a further 23 patients may be evaluated, for at least a total of 56 evaluable patients. Therefore, if a total of 28 or more patients achieved a PFS6 at the end of the second stage, then the null will be rejected in favor of the alternative. Eligible patients will receive neratinib 240 mg every day in combination with ET, with either exemestane, fulvestrant or tamoxifen: exemestane 25 mg every day orally, tamoxifen 20mg every day orally or fulvestrant 500 mg administered in two intramuscular injections of 250 mg each at C1D15 and at D1 of each subsequent 28-day cycle at investigator discretion. LHRH agonist will be used in men and premenopausal women if no oophorectomy has been performed previously. All patients will take prophylactic loperamide with a stablished doses scheme during the firs cycle and on demand in subsequent cycles
This study will provide ongoing, high quality data on the safety, performance, and clinical benefits of Abbott's EP devices in a real-world setting.
The primary objective of the study is to demonstrate superior efficacy of Xevinapant (Debio 1143) vs placebo when added to chemoradiotherapy (CRT) in locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (LA-SCCHN).
TREOCAPA is a Phase II/III European Multicentre study concerning the prophylactic treatment by Acetaminophen of extremely preterm infant during the first five days after birth. The Phase II is a dose finding phase in order to assess the minimum effective dose regimen of acetaminophen for the closure of PDA for neonates with a gestational age less than 27 weeks This part of the study will be conducted in 11 NICUs, in 4 countries (France, UK, Finland and Denmark). The Phase III is The phase III is a randomized, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled superiority trial, two arms in a 1:1 ratio, evaluating an increasing of 10% of the percentage of survival without severe morbidity at 36 weeks of post menstrual age. In the intervention arm, 20 mg/kg followed by 7.5 mg/kg quarter in die (QID) will be administered to the 27-28 weeks gestational age group (dosage confirmed through PK/PD data analysis from the previous Finnian study) and the dosage selected after the conclusion of the Phase II will be administered to the 23-26 weeks gestational age group. A group sequential design, with a total of 3 analyses (2 interim analyses and a final) and the O'Brien-Fleming alpha spending function is chosen for the trial. At the same time, a Bayesian sequential analysis is planned for safety endpoints
