There are about 4010 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Argentina. 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.
Research question: Are the ventilatory variables related to mechanical power associated with the outcome of subjects who received mechanical ventilation (MV) for Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) secondary to pneumonia (NMN) due to COVID-19?
Researchers are looking for a better way to help people with any known or suspected problems (except brain or spinal cord-related problems) scheduled for a "contrast-enhanced" Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). MRI is used by doctors to create detailed images of the inside of the body to identify health problems. Sometimes doctors need to inject contrast agent into a patient's vein to perform a so called "contrast-enhanced" MRI (CE-MRI). Such CE-MRI examinations may support doctors to identify certain health problems or improve the evaluation. The contrast agents commonly used in MRI are gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs). GBCAs contain a "rare earth" element called gadolinium (Gd). Gadoquatrane is a new contrast agent under development with a lower amount of Gd needed per CE-MRI. The main purpose of this study is to learn whether CE-MRI scans with gadoquatrane work better than MRI scans without the use of a contrast agent (GBCA). The researchers will compare the ability to detect known or suspected problems (except brain or spinal cord-related problems) with gadoquatrane-MRI scans to plain-MRI scans without the use of a contrast agent. The participants will undergo 2 MRI scans, one with gadoquatrane and one with currently used GBCA. Both contrast agents will be injected into the vein. Each participant will be in the study for between 6 and 42 days with up to 7 doctor visits. At the start or during the study, the doctors and their study team will: - take blood and urine samples - do physical examinations - check blood pressure and heart rate - review the MRI scans obtained in the study and decide on the diagnosis - ask the participants questions about how they are feeling and what adverse events they are having. An adverse event is any medical problem that a participant has during a study. Doctors keep track of all adverse events, irrespective if they think it is related or not to the study treatments.

This sub-study will assess the pharmacokinetics (PK), safety, tolerability, virologic efficacy and health outcomes of CAB (GSK1265744) and RPV long acting (LA) in HIV-infected adult participants currently enrolled in the Antiretroviral Therapy as Long Acting Suppression every 2 Months (ATLAS2M [A2M]) study (NCT03299049).
The purpose of the study is to test an evaluation environment based on a device that has the ability to provide the user with tactile (haptic) sensations. This environment will be used to investigate how the arm movements of a healthy person are performed, and then - at a later stage - to find out whether it is possible to measure changes during musculoskeletal pain. Electrical signals produced by the brain (called electroencephalogram or EEG) will be recorded by means of electrodes on the surface of the scalp (non-invasive). In addition, the angle of the elbow joint during movement will be measured, with the intention of using objective measures to aid future evidence-based clinical decision making. It is expected that the developed environment can be used -in the near future-, to evaluate the progression of pathologies associated with muscle pain, or to quantify the effectiveness of rehabilitation therapies.
The present study aims to evaluate in adults with normal weight and with overweight or obesity who live in the city of La Plata the circulating levels of various hormones that regulate appetite and the gene expression of their receptors in peripheral blood mononuclear cells before and after food intake.
he study was designed as a double-blind three-parallel-group randomized controlled trial, in which the evaluators and a researcher, not involved in the evaluation process, was responsible for the randomization process, were masked to the group assignment. The study will be carried out at 2 schools of the Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires where school programs are developed by the Department of Preventive and Community Dentistry of the University of Buenos Aires, and that present homogeneous characteristics in terms of social risk. The children (n=244) attending those primary schools will be the population object of the trial. Clinical examinations Each child will go under a clinical examination to determine dental status according to the ICDAS II criteria (Pitts, 2005) and the Caries Treatment Need Index (CTNI). Intervention Children will be divided into three different groups according to the mode of treatment: - NaF varnish group (NaFV) Professional application of 5% NaF varnish twice a year pH 7 (ClinPro White Varnish®) according to manufacturer's instructions. - APF in tray Group (APFt) Professional application of APF 1.23% twice a year pH 3.5 (Klepp®) with tray according to manufacturer's instructions - APF in toothbrush group (APFtbru) Professional application of APF 1.23% twice a year pH 3.5 (Klepp®) with toothbrush 2 minutes brushing according to manufacturer's instructions. Dental examination and Monitoring Observations and clinical examinations will be conducted at schools. After 12 and 24 months, the clinical examination will be repeated to assess the dental status of schoolchildren following the same criteria described. The presence of new caries lesions will be taken as a dependent variable. So sound surfaces on baseline will be observed for 24 months.
The primary objective of the study is to rule out an increase of >3mmHg in 24-hour average Systolic Blood Pressure at steady state (Week 4) compared to baseline. ABPM was chosen for the blood pressure assessment in this trial as recommended by the FDA for drugs intended for chronic use (Assessment of Pressor Effects of Drugs Guidance for Industry (FDA 2022)).
Substudy A: The study aims to learn about the safety and effects of two new vaccines for RSV (RSVpreF) and influenza (modRNA qIRV) when given as a single shot compared to when given separately. RSV and influenza lead to infections, mainly in the fall and winter. These vaccines are being developed to help prevent respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and influenza (Flu) disease. This study is seeking participants who: - are 60 years or older - are healthy or have well-controlled chronic conditions - have not had a flu shot in the last 120 days - and agree to be present for all study visits, procedures, and blood draws. The participants will be divided into 2 groups. Group 1 will receive RSVpreF plus qIRV combo shot, after which participants will receive the placebo (a shot which has no medicine). Group 2 will receive shots for qIRV first and then RSVpreF 1 month apart. The investigators will examine the experiences of the participants receiving the study vaccines. This will help the investigators determine if the study vaccines are safe and produce a similar immune response. Participants will be involved in this study for 2 months. During this time, participants will have 3 visits at the study clinic. Substudy B will investigate 2 formulations of RSVpreF + qIRV of different volumes and osmolaities (concentrations). These formulations will be examined for safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity, with the goal of selecting a formulation for further study. This study is seeking participants who: - are 50 years or older - are healthy or have well-controlled chronic conditions - have not had a flu shot in the last 180 days - and agree to be present for all study visits, procedures, and blood draws. The participants will be divided into 2 groups. Group 1 will receive RSVpreF plus qIRV in a 1.0-mL formulation while Group 2 will receive RSVpreF plus qIRV in a 0.5-mL formulation. The investigators will examine the experiences of the participants receiving the study vaccines. This will help the investigators determine if the study vaccines are safe, well tolerated and produce a similar immune response. Participants will be involved in this study for 1 month. During this time, participants will have 2 visits at the study clinic.
The purpose of this study is to measure the long-term safety and efficacy profile of LTP001 in participants with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). The study offers participants who had completed the CLTP001A12201 double-blind parent study in PAH an opportunity to receive LTP001 (whether they were on LTP001 or not). Unblinding of the treatment received in CLTP001A12201 is generally not needed, but can occur on request by the investigator.
