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 purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of JNJ-77242113 compared with placebo in participants with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of glofitamab in combination with polatuzumab vedotin plus rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and prednisone (Pola-R-CHP) vs Pola-R-CHP in participants with previously untreated CD20-positive large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL).
The goal of this experimental study, with crossover design, is to analyze the effects of body lateralization applied at 30 degrees compared to the supine position on the distribution of ventilation and regional lung aeration in healthy individuals. The main study questions to be answered are: - Question 1: What are the immediate effects of 30 degree body lateralization on the distribution of regional ventilation and lung aeration in healthy individuals? - Question 2: What is the effect of body lateralization on diaphragmatic mobility in the dependent or non-dependent hemithorax? Participants will be submitted to changes in positioning in bed, considering a randomized sequence of interventions, between supine position and body lateralization at 30 degrees, using the Multicare bed (Linet, Czech Republic). The interventions were repeated twice each with a 30-minute washout in each sequence. Participants will perform assessment of lung function and respiratory muscle strength with the instruments: - Manovacuometry - Spirometry - Ventilometry - Respiratory Diagnostic Assistant The supine and body lateralization positions will be compared, with the primary outcomes being lung aeration and ventilation distribution assessed using Electrical Impedance Tomography. The secondary outcome will be diaphragmatic mobility measured through lung ultrasound. Groups: - Supine position - Body lateralization Effects - Lung aeration - Distribution of ventilation - Diaphragmatic mobility
The purpose of this trial is to assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of remibrutinib (LOU064) 25 milligrams (mg) twice a day (b.i.d.) over placebo for 24 weeks and in comparison to omalizumab 300 mg every 4 weeks (q4w) for 52 weeks in participants with chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) inadequately controlled by H1-antihistamines (H1-AH).
The goal of this observational study is to estimate the prevalence of the use of protective ventilation with low tidal volume ventilation in the transition of spontaneous ventilation modes in patients with hypoxemic acute respiratory failure in ICUs in Latin America and its association with patient outcomes. The main questions it aims to answer are: - what is the prevalence of the use of low tidal volume ventilation (VT <8 mL/kg of predicted body weight) in the first 24 hours of spontaneous ventilation modes in patients with hypoxemic acute respiratory failure? - Is there an association between the rate of adherence to low tidal volume ventilation in spontaneous ventilation modes and the ability to stay off ventilatory support and mortality? Participants are patients with acute respiratory failure under mechanical ventilation. Investigators will collect data on the ventilatory parameters of participants - 24 hours before they begin to be ventilated with spontaneous modes of ventilation - during the first 24 hours of spontaneous ventilation Investigators will collect several patient-centered clinical outcomes at 28 days after study inclusion, including ventilator-free days and mortality
Randomised clinical trial comparing oral miltefosine associated with pentoxifylline to intravenous liposomal amphotericin b for the treatment of cutaneous and mucosal leishmaniasis
Burning Mouth Syndrome (BMS) is characterized by a burning sensation on the tongue or other areas of the mouth, often bilateral but occasionally unilateral. It is more prevalent in postmenopausal women. No specific ethnic or socioeconomic predisposition has been identified. The etiology and pathophysiology of BMS remain unknown. Various treatment approaches have been proposed, yielding conflicting outcomes and underscoring the need for further investigation. Patients with BMS appear to respond well to long-term therapy involving systemic antidepressants and anxiolytics. The most promising therapeutic effects have been observed with clonazepam, which leads to a significant reduction in pain when applied topically or systemically. Capsaicin, an herbal remedy, also presents as an alternative treatment option, showing positive results in alleviating BMS symptoms when compared to a placebo. Photobiomodulation represents another non-pharmacological treatment possibility. It's analgesic action is possibly attributed to the inhibition of pain mediators. Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) is dietary supplement employed in BMS treatment. It serves as a potent antioxidant naturally produced within the body, contributing to the mitigation of skin aging and reinforcing the effects of other biological antioxidants. Based on these findings, attempts have been made to demonstrate ALA's effectiveness in BMS management, concluding that ALA may offer benefits in this context. Therefore, the objective of this study is to investigate, in adults with BMS, the impact of different therapeutic approaches on frequency, intensity, and location of pain, as well as on on quality of life.
The purpose of this Phase III study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tozorakimab administered subcutaneously (SC) in adult participants with symptomatic COPD with a history of ≥ 2 moderate or ≥ 1 severe exacerbations of COPD in the 12 months prior to enrolment. Participants should be receiving optimised treatment with inhaled maintenance therapy (ICS/LABA/LAMA triple therapy, or dual therapy if triple is not considered appropriate) throughout at least the last 3 months prior to enrolment.
Patients with chronic kidney diseases, especially those requiring hemodialysis, are characterized by an increased risk of numerous morbidities. This is a condition that significantly impacts the patient's quality of life, leads to dependence, and involves high-cost treatment. The physical condition of chronic kidney disease patients falls well below the recommendations set by the World Health Organization, indicating effective difficulties in the approaches used for implementing physical activity programs. New approaches must be considered. Physical activity through virtual reality can foster greater social integration of patients with physical exercise during hemodialysis, enabling improved quality of life and decreased frailty levels for these individuals due to its playful and motivational nature. Objective: To assess changes in heart rate variability modulation and the quality of life of chronic kidney disease patients undergoing virtual reality-based exercise during hemodialysis sessions. Methods: A longitudinal, controlled, randomized crossover clinical trial. The chronic kidney disease groups will be divided into two groups, Group A (GA) and Group B (GB). Group GA will engage in 10 interventions, with each intervention involving the completion of 3 sessions of a Virtual Reality (VR) game lasting 5 minutes each, totaling 15 minutes of exercise. Group GB will participate in 10 interventions, with each intervention comprising 15 minutes of physical exercise on a cycle ergometer, referred to here as conventional exercise. After the initial 10 interventions, the groups will switch exercises; that is, GA will cease VR interventions and begin another 10 interventions with conventional exercise, while GB will stop conventional exercise interventions and start another 10 interventions with VR. The Kidney Disease Quality of Life Short Form questionnaire, Beck's Anxiety and Depression Inventory, and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire will also be administered to all groups.
This is a interventional phase II study aiming to examine the complete response rate of a bortezomib-based salvage regimen in adults with refractory or relapsed acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), seeking to compare outcomes with the available literature and with our historical data on relapsed/refractory ALL.
