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 goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effectiveness of a pharmaceutical care protocol via teleconsultation in the management of uncontrolled hypertension with pharmaceutical care carried out in elderly patients assisted in primary health care. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. How effective is a pharmaceutical care protocol via teleconsultation on the clinical outcomes of elderly people with uncontrolled hypertension, when compared to in-person pharmaceutical care? 2. How effective is a pharmaceutical care protocol via teleconsultation in adherence to the treatment of elderly people with hypertension, when compared to in-person pharmaceutical care? Participants will undergo four visits. Two visits will be for the application of instruments and measurement of clinical parameters to be carried out at the beginning and end of follow-up (visits 1 and 4). These will be carried out in a pharmacist's office at the pharmacy by previously trained pharmacists and pharmacy students. Visits 2 and 3 will be pharmaceutical consultations to be carried out in person and/or via telepharmacy. Researchers will compare pharmaceutical care via telepharmacy with in-person pharmaceutical care to see how effective these services are in controlling blood pressure in elderly patients with uncontrolled blood pressure.
High blood pressure during pregnancy poses significant risks to both the mother and baby. A combination of factors, including advancing maternal age, rising obesity rates, and metabolic health issues, have amplified the prevalence of this condition. While conventional medicines are available, safety during pregnancy remains a concern. Recent studies suggest that beetroot might be a safer alternative. The efficacy of beetroot is attributed to its ability to stimulate the body's production of a natural compound that aids in dilating and relaxing blood vessels. Preliminary studies conducted on mice and a select group of pregnant women have yielded encouraging results. Early tests indicated that after consuming beetroot supplements, there was a reduction in blood pressure and an improvement in the health of the mother's uterine artery-a vital vessel responsible for nourishing the fetus. The study aims to delve deeper by evaluating the effects of beetroot juice on pregnant women from the beginning of pregnancy and continuing it throughout the term. If the results are positive, beetroot could revolutionize the approach to blood pressure management during pregnancy, paving the way for healthier futures for both mothers and their babies.
The purpose of this study is to learn about the safety and how effective the study medicine (PF-07220060) plus fulvestrant is compared to the study doctor's choice of treatment in people with advanced or metastatic breast cancer. Advanced cancer is the one that is unlikely to be cured or taken care of with treatment. Metastatic cancer is the one that has spread to other parts of the body. This study is seeking female and male participants who: - are 18 years of age or older; - are hormone receptor (HR)-positive and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative; - have advanced or metastatic breast cancer after taking other treatments before this study; - have not taken or need to take medications that are not allowed by the study protocol; - do not have any medical or mental conditions that may increase the risk of study participation. Half of the participants will take PF-07220060 two times daily by mouth along with fulvestrant. Fulvestrant will be given as a shot into the muscle. The other half will take the study doctor's choice of treatment which can either be: - Fulvestrant alone taken as shot into the muscle. - Everolimus along with exemestane taken once daily by mouth. This study will compare the experiences of participants receiving the study medicine plus fulvestrant to those who are receiving the study doctor's choice of treatment. This will help decide if the study medicine is safe and effective. Participants will receive study treatment and/or will be in the study until: - imaging scans (such as an MRI and/or CT) show that their cancer is getting worse. - the study doctor thinks the participant is no longer benefitting from the study medicine. - has side effects that become too severe. A side effect is a reaction (expected or unexpected) to a medicine or treatment you take. - the participant chooses to stop taking part.
The main aim of this study conducted in Brazil is to understand if there is a difference in the length of time that Classical Hodgkin's Lymphoma (cHL) does not grow or spread further (also called progression free survival or PFS), and in the length of time that participants live with cHL if they are treated with Brentuximab Vedotin in combination with chemotherapy (A+AVD) or chemotherapy alone (ABVD). A+AVD includes Brentuximab Vedotin + Doxorubicin + Vinblastine + Dacarbazine; ABVD includes Doxorubicin + Bleomycin + Vinblastine + Dacarbazine. The study will be conducted by reviewing and collecting already existing medical records.
This is a Phase III, randomised, open-label, 3-arm, multicentre, international study assessing the efficacy and safety of Dato-DXd with or without durvalumab compared with investigator's choice chemotherapy in combination with pembrolizumab in participants with PD-L1 positive locally recurrent inoperable or metastatic TNBC.
RGX-111-5101 is a long-term follow up study that evaluates the long term safety and efficacy of RGX-111 in participants who have received RGX-111 (a gene therapy intended to deliver a functional copy of the alpha-L-iduronidase gene (IDUA) to the central nervous system) in a separate parent study.
This is a Phase 2b, global, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group, dose ranging study to assess the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of add-on therapy with SC lunsekimig in adult participants aged 18 to 80 years, (inclusive) with moderate-to-severe asthma.
Exercise supervision via telehealth resources is an alternative to the in-person modality with similar therapeutic effectiveness across different clinical profiles. Especially in the context of knee osteoarthritis (OA), exercise is recommended by international guidelines. However, it is necessary to elucidate the comparability of remote and in-person supervised exercise effectiveness for these patients. Therefore, the study's objective is to investigate the responses of a remote compared to the in-person supervised exercise program on patient-reported outcomes measures (PROMs), muscular architecture, and the functional performance of patients with knee OA. Sixty-eight patients with symptomatic and radiographic knee OA will be randomly assigned to remote or in-person exercise programs. The intervention will last 12 weeks, encompassing muscle-strengthening exercises for the lower extremities, with a frequency of twice a week for the initial two weeks and three sessions per week from the third week onwards. Supervision will be conducted remotely via video calls in one group, while the other will receive in-person supervision at a physiotherapy clinic. Program sessions will comprise six exercises. In the first session treatment block, exercises will be guided for the muscle groups of the knee extensors, hip adductors, and plantar flexors, and in the second block, for knee extensors, hip abductors, and knee flexors. After the 12-week supervised treatment period, participants will be encouraged to continue the same exercise program at home without a physiotherapist in the following six weeks. PROMs related to the joint condition will be measured, such as pain, symptoms, daily activities, sports and leisure activities, and quality of life. The psychological domain will also be evaluated, including pain catastrophizing, symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress, and sleep quality. Additionally, measurements of the muscular architecture of the quadriceps femoris, including muscle thickness, pennation angle, fascicle length, and echo intensity, will be taken. Functional performance will be assessed through tests that include the skills of standing and sitting, walking and going up, and down stairs. PROMs will be measured at weeks 0, 6, 12, and 18. Muscular architecture and functional parameters will be measured at weeks 0 and 12. Data analysis will be conducted using Linear Mixed Models, and analysis will be presented by intention to treat and per protocol. The significance level adopted for this study will be α = 0.05.
The goal of this prospective, multicentric, single-arm, phase I/II clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a novel CD19-directed CAR-T cell locally produced in an academic institution in Brazil in patients with refractory or relapsed acute lymphoblastic leukemia or non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Participants will receive a single intravenous infusion of an autologous academic anti-CD19 CAR-T cell and will be followed for 5 years.
This is a phase III, randomized, open-label, multicenter, global study to determine the efficacy and safety of Volrustomig (MEDI5752) + Carboplatin + Pemetrexed vs the investigator's choice of platinum + Pemetrexed or Nivolumab + Ipilimumab in participants with unresectable pleural mesothelioma.
