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.
The purpose of this study is to determine in hospitalized adult participants infected with human metapneumovirus (hMPV - a virus closely related to respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and has been identified as an important cause of acute respiratory infections, affecting all age groups) the dose-response relationship of multiple regimens of lumicitabine on antiviral activity based on nasal hMPV shedding using quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) assay.
This is a phase I/II, open label dose escalation study of multiple dose levels of NV1205 with a long-term treatment phase.
A Study to Evaluate Safety in Participants with Chemotherapy-naïve Stage IV or Recurrent Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Treated With Nivolumab in Combination with Ipilimumab
The proportion of hypertensive patients achieving adequate blood pressure control meeting guideline targets remains low. Of those patients on blood pressure lowering drugs, only 50% reach control. Objectives: 1. Test the feasibility of telemonitoring of blood pressure in uncontrolled hypertensive patients. 2. Investigate whether telemonitoring enabled self-measurement of blood pressure leads to faster blood pressure control than self-measurement without telemonitoring. 3. Secondary endpoints include adverse effects, assessment of quality of life, adherence, a log of technical problems, and cost-effectiveness. Methods: Randomised parallel-group study consisting of 4 stages. - Screening to check for eligibility. - Randomisation in a 1:1 proportion to control or experimental arm: In the control arm, doctors will receive reports on the self-measured blood pressure based on diary cards; in the experimental group, doctors will receive weekly reports via telemonitoring. - Treatment period: Doctors will adjust treatment according to the present guidelines of Hypertension. Blood pressure control is a home blood pressure below 135 mm Hg systolic and 85 mm Hg diastolic. Once blood pressure control is achieved the treatment period ends. - Late follow-up: Assessment of blood pressure control at home 3 months after completion of the treatment period by means of telemonitoring. Sample size: 120 patients per group. Patients: recruited at clinics from Uruguay and Argentina. Main Inclusion Criteria: - Women and men, age range 20 to 80 years. - Uncontrolled hypertension and new diagnosed hypertension with a self-measured blood pressure at home of 135 mm Hg systolic and/or 85 mm Hg diastolic or more; - Patients should be willing to accept adherence checking during follow-up and sign an informed written consent. Exclusion Criteria - Patients emotionally or intellectually not capable of measuring their blood pressure at home; - A clinical or social context, which is suboptimal for the self-measurement of blood pressure; - Pregnancy; - Alcohol or substance abuse or psychiatric illnesses; - Participation in another study. Expected outcomes: blood pressure control will be achieved faster in the telemonitoring group.
Introduction: Opioids, such as morphine, act at receptors in the central nervous system, but many studies have suggested direct action peripherally on opioid receptors in sensory neurons terminals, melanocytes, keratinocytes and fibroblasts. These receptors are stimulated when occurs inflammatory processes. Hypothesis: Treatment with topical morphine 0.1% applied 30 minutes before an invasive procedure, decreases pain in children. Method: A randomised double-blind parallel study to evaluate the effect of topical application of a 0.1% morphine gel in patients undergo a procedure. 22 patients in each group will be included. Randomly assigned to either the morphine gel or a placebo hydrogel, it will be applied 30 minutes before the procedure and the first day every 4 hours. General basic sedation and systemic analgesia will give for all the patients. Efficacy of treatment will be measured with "Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolability scale" (FLACC scale).
This is a cross sectional study to estimate the prevalence of the presence of amyloid deposits in a biopsy of subcutaneous fat cell, carpal flexor retinaculum and synovial tissue sheath of the flexor tendons requirement for carpal tunnel surgery.
This study will assess the safety and efficacy of ixekizumab (LY2439821) compared to placebo in participants with active AS.
Study is to show that QVA149 is superior to the standard of care, fluticasone/salmeterol, in patients with moderate to severe airflow limitation.
To evaluate the effect of a 6-month web-based lifestyle modification program with and without telephone counseling versus usual care in obese patients with cardiovascular risk factors on: - Weight Loss - Waist circumference; blood pressure; total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol; glucose and hemoglobin A1c; C-reactive protein. - Physical activity and eating habits - Quality of life
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of addition of corticosteroid therapy to antibiotics in children hospitalized with community-acquired pneumonia. The hypothesis is that the use of corticosteroids decreases the length of stay in children hospitalized with community-acquired pneumonia.
