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.
The aim of the present study is to evaluate using clinical, patient-centered, immunological, microbiological, and histological parameters, the effect of silk fibroin films loaded or not with insulin in the repair of palatal mucosa open wounds.
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of multiple therapies in participants with locally advanced, unresectable, Stage III NSCLC with eligible biomarker status as determined by Version 8 of the American Joint Committee on Cancer/Union for International Cancer Control NSCLC staging system.
Gallium-68-prostate-specific membrane antigen (68Ga-PSMA) positron emission tomography (PET) has been increasingly used in the management of PCa in Brazil. Thus, the detection of metastatic lesions is improved over traditional methods e.g. MRI and the diagnosis of mCSPC patients has been proportionally increasing. Due to a lack of guidelines and clinical trials including 68Ga-PSMA-PET imaging, the management of these patients is extrapolated from data based on conventional imaging. Treatment decision and duration of treatment for mCSPC patients based on 68Ga-PSMA-PET imaging is currently unknown. 68Ga-PSMA-PET allows a diagnosis of a different set of low volume oligo-metastatic prostate cancer patients. Based on that, a new gap has been built up, since there are no standards of how those patients are managed and how they respond to conventional therapies, to metastasis direct therapy or even if they could be spared of any treatment, reducing costs and toxicities. This patient population has not been included in clinical trials and its critical to generate information on the diagnosis, treatment and outcome of these patients in clinical practice.
Multicenter retrospective longitudinal analytical study of patients with neuroendocrine tumors.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety of PTC923 in participants with phenylketonuria, and to evaluate the changes from baseline in dietary phenylalanine (Phe)/protein consumption.
The objective of the study is to describe the current epidemiology, treatment patterns, outcomes and healthcare resource use of adult patients diagnosed with relapsed/refractory (R/R) B-cell ALL and de novo AML in 4 Latin American countries.
The present prospective cohort study aims to assess factors associated with of one-year health-related quality of life and physical, cognitive and mental health outcomes among adult survivors of hospitalization for COVID-19. Adult patients requiring hospitalization due to COVID-19 disease will be followed through structured and centralized telephone interviews performed at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after enrollment.
This is a single-arm, open-label study to assess the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, safety, and exploratory efficacy of tocilizumab (TCZ) for the treatment of pediatric patients from birth to less than 18 years old hospitalized with COVID-19 and who are receiving systemic corticosteroids and require supplemental oxygen or mechanical ventilation.
The main aim of the study is to learn if soticlestat, when given as an add-on therapy, reduces the number of seizures in children and adults with Dravet Syndrome (DS) or Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (LGS). Participants will receive their standard anti-seizure therapy, plus tablets of soticlestat. There will be scheduled visits and follow-up phone calls throughout the study.
Open globe injuries (OGI) are among the main causes of blindness or irreversible severe reduction in visual acuity in the world. An estimated 2.3 million people live with bilateral low vision and nearly 19 million live with blindness or unilateral low vision due to such trauma. Pre-surgical prophylaxis to prevent serious infectious complications such as endophthalmitis is frequently performed, however, there are discrepancies in its performance between services as there is no proven superior protocol. Different combinations of antibiotics and administration routes are currently used. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the use of topical moxifloxacin 0.5% ophthalmic solution (Vigamox®) in the prophylaxis of acute endophthalmitis in patients with OGI. This is a prospective, controlled, randomized, single-center study conducted in patients diagnosed with OGI at the Clinical Hospital of São Paulo State University, Campinas. Volunteers who present OGI and sign the informed consent form (ICF) will be randomized into 2 groups: in group A, volunteers will undergo pre-surgical prophylaxis with the use of topical 0.5% moxifloxacin eye drops every 3 hours until the surgery. In group B, the volunteers will receive pre-surgical prophylaxis as it is currently done in the service, with cefazolin 1 gram every 6 hours and ciprofloxacin 400 milligrams intravenously every 12 hours, prior to surgery. Intraoperative and post-surgical care will be the same for both groups and will continue to be carried out in line with the current service protocol. Patients will be followed for 45 days, with a complete ophthalmological evaluation that aims to verify the incidence of endophthalmitis in both groups. It is expected to find an equal or lower incidence of endophthalmitis in the group that received topical administration of moxifloxacin.
