There are about 10004 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Brazil. 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.
A randomized, placebo-controlled study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of paltusotine (formerly CRN00808; an oral selective nonpeptide somatostatin receptor type 2 biased agonist) in subjects with non-pharmacologically treated acromegaly.
A great interest exists regarding substances with an immunomodulatory effect for sepsis patients. Recent data have shown that intravenous vitamin C, together with corticosteroids and thiamine, could prevent progressive organ dysfunction and reduce vasopressor use in patients with severe sepsis and septic shock. Its effect on mortality, on the other hand, is yet to be demonstrated. The Vitamins study aims to conclusively determine, through its prospective, multicentre and double-blinded design including 1090 patients, wether Vitamin C, Thiamine and Hydrocortisone in combination can reduce mortality in patients with septic shock.
The aim of the present study will be to manufacture and characterize silk fibroin membranes loaded or not with neurotensin and to evaluate clinical, patient-centered and immunological parameters the effect of using these membranes on open wounds on the human palate.
The purpose of this study is to conduct a multi-country, multi-site, epidemiologic study designed to assess the proportion of interferon gamma release assay (IGRA) positivity, at site level, and to build capacity to conduct a future TB vaccine efficacy study.
Observational study, retrospective and prospective, of an analytical nature. Data will be collected from medical records and/or through contact with physicians and institutions (secondary data collection). Patients included retrospectively or prospectively will be followed during the data collection period for the evaluation of treatments and survival. No intervention is planned in this protocol.
The bronchodilators (BD) have been widely used in bronchiectasis (BCE) therapeutic and have been shown to be effective in improving exercise capacity in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma. However the BD effect on the exercise capacity of patients with BCE is poorly known. Besides, the respiratory mechanics pattern of the patients with BCE is not known nor its association with their physical activity level (PAL). Therefore, the hypothesis of this study is that BD are effective in improving exercise capacity of patients with BCE. The authors also propose to characterize the respiratory mechanics of the patients with BCE and to evaluate their PAL and its association with quality of life, as secondary aims.
Oxidative stress and inflammation are correlated with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), in a way that they bring several harms to patients, including an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality. Adjuvant therapeutic options such as bioactive compounds present in some foods seem to mitigate inflammation. Turmeric and propolis are foods that have compounds with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory capacity, as they promote the activation of nuclear erythroid transcription factor 2 (Nrf2 - responsible for the synthesis of antioxidant enzymes) and inhibit the activity of nuclear factor Kappa B (NF-κB - which increases the synthesis of inflammatory cytokines). This work aims to evaluate the effects of supplementation of associated propolis and turmeric microcapsules on inflammatory markers in patients with CKD undergoing hemodialysis (HD).
DMX-200 (repagermanium) is a C-C chemokine receptor type 2 (CCR2) inhibitor that, when administered concurrently with an ARB, is designed to inhibit recruitment of monocytes implicated in the inflammatory chemokine environment of chronic disease. The purpose of this pivotal randomized double-blind study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of DMX-200 120 mg twice daily (BID) compared with placebo over a treatment period of 104 weeks in adult patients with FSGS who are being treated with an ARB. Given the rarity of the disease and the similarities between adults and pediatric patients with FSGS, Dimerix will also investigate the efficacy and safety of DMX 200 in adolescents aged 12 to 17 years. The double-blind period will be followed by an open-label extension (OLE) which aims to assess the long-term efficacy and safety of DMX 200 for up to 2 additional years.
This study is open to adults with chronic kidney disease. People with and without type 2 diabetes can take part in this study. The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called BI 690517 improves kidney function in people with chronic kidney disease when taken alone or in combination with a medicine called empagliflozin. In the first part of the study, participants take empagliflozin or placebo as tablets every day for 2 months. Placebo tablets look like empagliflozin tablets but do not contain any medicine. In the second part, participants are divided into several groups. Depending on the group, the participants then additionally take different doses of BI 690517 or placebo as tablets for 3.5 months. In this case, placebo tablets look like BI 690517 tablets but do not contain any medicine. Participants are in the study for about 6 months. During this time, they visit the study site about 12 times. Where possible, about 4 of the 12 visits can be done at the participant's home instead of the study site. The trial staff may also contact the participants by phone or video call. Participants collect urine samples at home. These samples are then analysed to assess kidney function. At the end of the trial the results are compared between the different groups. The doctors also regularly check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects.
Study MO42623 is a Phase IV, multicenter, open-label, three cohort study designed to evaluate the impact of emicizumab prophylaxis on overall health, physical activity, and joint outcomes in participants aged ≥13 and <70 years with severe hemophilia A without factor VIII (FVIII) inhibitors or moderate hemophilia A without FVIII inhibitors who are receiving FVIII prophylaxis and who will start emicizumab treatment as part of this study.
