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.
NeuroFibro is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial, using neurostimulation in women with fibromyalgia.
This study will investigate if nivolumab will improve recurrence-free survival (RFS) compared to placebo in participants with HCC who have undergone complete resection or have achieved a complete response after local ablation, and who are at high risk of recurrence
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by a poorly reversible airway obstruction and consequent systemic manifestations. Its high prevalence and high number of diagnosed patients has become a challenge for health services due to the costs of diagnosis and treatment of these patients. Positive pressure and aerosol therapy are preferred therapies for the management of COPD symptoms, but their effects when associated are poorly studied. The objective of this study is to compare the effects of different positive pressure strategies associated with aerosol therapy through Pulmonary Scintigraphy and Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) in patients with COPD in the intercrise period. This is a randomized, crossover, blinded and allocated crossover type clinical trial in which patients with moderate to severe COPD will be allocated to three intervention groups with different strategies for positive pressure associated with aerosol therapy: control group 1 nebulization), group 2 nebulization with EPAP valve and group 3 nebulization with NIV bi-level pressure mode. The radioaerosol deposition pattern will be evaluated through Pulmonary Scintigraphy and regional pulmonary ventilation through EIT.
Brief Summary: The study is a prospective, randomized controlled phase III trial aimed to test the efficacy and safety of Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields) in combination with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel, for front line treatment of locally-advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma.The device is an experimental, portable, battery operated device for chronic administration of alternating electric fields (termed TTFields or TTF) to the region of the malignant tumor, by means of surface, insulated electrode arrays.
Objective: To investigate the acute effect of mirror therapy (MT) on motor control, manual dexterity and spasticity of the paretic upper extremity (UE) of individuals with chronic hemiparesis after stroke, during reaching task. Design: Randomized cross-over single-blinded trial. Subjects: Thirty-three patients post chronic stroke were recruited of the study. Intervention: Patients who first participated in the MT intervention performed a single session of MT, whereas in the control intervention a single session composed of the same exercises was performed, but without the mirror. After a month washout, the patients switched groups. Main measure: The primary outcome measure was motor control. The secondary outcome measure was manual dexterity and UE spasticity. The data will be expressed as mean and 95% confidence interval (continuous variable) and absolute frequency (categorical variables). To compare the outcomes of the different experimental sessions and at the different moments (pre and post session), the Generalized Estimating Equations with post hoc LSD (Least Significant Difference) methods will be used. For all analysis the significance level was set at α = 0.05 and statistical software SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences for Mac, version 22.0, IBM, USA) will be used. Key words: Stroke, mirror therapy, upper extremity, kinematic analysis
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of atezolizumab plus chemotherapy compared with placebo plus chemotherapy in patients with inoperable recurrent triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC).
This Phase III clinical study will assess the impact of BMN 270 (compared to FVIII prophylaxis) on the number of bleeding episodes irrespective of exogenous FVIII replacement treatment in the efficacy evaluation period (EEP) (from Week 5 post-BMN 270 infusion (Study Day 33) or the end of FVIII prophylaxis plus the washout period (3 days for products of standard half-life or plasma-derived and 5 days for products of extended half-life), whichever is later, to last visit by the data cut-off for the 2-year analysis, hereafter referred to as "Post FVIII Prophylaxis to Last Visit"). The study will also assess the impact of BMN 270 (compared to FVIII prophylaxis) on: the number of bleeding episodes requiring exogenous FVIII treatment in "Post FVIII Prophylaxis to Last Visit", FVIII activity as measured by chromogenic sustrate assay at Week 104 following intravenous infusion of BMN 270, usage of exogenous FVIII replacement therapy in "Post FVIII Prophylaxis to Last Visit", health-related quality of life patient-reported outcomes at week 104 following intravenous infusion of BMN 270. The study will also evaluate the safety of the BMN 270.
Study of Romiplostim for Chemotherapy-induced Thrombocytopenia in Adult Subjects with Gastrointestinal, Pancreatic, or Colorectal Cancer
A multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of maintenance and long-term treatment administration of upadacitinib, an orally administered Janus kinase 1 inhibitor, in adult participants with Crohn's Disease.
The purpose of this study is evaluate the effect of prophylactic desmopressin on blood coagulation parameters and postoperative bleeding in patients undergoing valve cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass.
