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.
Although the practice of physical activity is recommended for children with asthma, the scientific literature available so far has focused mainly on improving functional capacity and quality of life. However, the effects of pulmonary rehabilitation in this population, especially in improving the level of physical activity in daily living (PADL) and activities of daily living (ADLs) have not yet been investigated in depth. Therefore, the objective of this study is to verify the effects of pulmonary rehabilitation on PADL, ADL, and other clinical outcomes of children with asthma. For this, a randomized clinical trial will be carried out that will have 2 groups: the control group (CG), which will receive only educational sessions, and the intervention group (IG) which will participate in a pulmonary rehabilitation program with supervised aerobic training performed three times a week with sessions of 60 minutes each. The total duration of interventions in both groups will be 12 weeks. The primary outcomes of this study are PADL (assessed using a physical activity monitor - Actigraph) and ADL; however, the following will also be evaluated: lung function, functional capacity, asthma control, and quality of life. We hypothesized that the performance of regular physical activity and supervised physical exercise by individuals with asthma could positively impact health outcomes with better control of asthma symptoms, better performance in ADL and PADL, and better quality of life.
Heart failure (HF) is a systemic clinical syndrome defined as cardiac dysfunction, which causes inadequate blood supply to meet metabolic needs. One of the most expressive markers of HF is neurologic exacerbation, with expected sympathetic hyperactivation, increased activity of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and elevation of vasopressin levels. These changes compensate the low cardiac output in the onset of ventricular dysfunction ensure a long term high blood perfusion pressure,though aggravate this dysfunction and contributes to the HF progression. There are evidences ofthe therapeutic effects of respiratory exercise techniques for HF patients. However, it demands new data for larger prescription and employment of these kind of exercises. Advanced technologies allowed the elaboration of the application for slow breathing CardioBreath. So far, it requires the possibility of comparison of their effects versus widely validated Inspiratory Muscle Trainig (IMT) on respiratory and cardiovascular outcomes in order to elucidate their specific benefits. In this way compare CardioBreath ® App versus IMT through a crossover randomized clinical trial design may elucidate the response effects of these interventions in these patients.
The purpose of this study is long-term evaluation of long-acting injectable cabotegravir (CAB LA) for HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in eligible participants who have completed DAIDS (Division of AIDS) sponsored studies HPTN 083 and HPTN 084 and associated sub-studies. Participants will continue receiving CAB LA and be followed for new HIV diagnosis, SAEs (serious adverse events), Grade 3 and Grade 4 ISRs (injection site reactions), and AEs (adverse events) leading to withdrawal.
This is a Phase 3, multi-center, prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of ZP5-9676 compared to placebo for the treatment of STH infections. Approximately 300 participants will be enrolled, randomized at the Baseline visit (Day 1) to one of the following treatments in a 1:1 ratio of active and placebo.
The research study is being done to see if ziltivekimab can be used to treat people who were admitted to hospital because of a heart attack. Ziltivekimab might reduce development of heart disease, thereby preventing new heart attacks or strokes. Participants will either get ziltivekimab (active medicine) or placebo (a dummy medicine which has no effect on the body). Which treatment participants get is decided by chance. The chance of getting ziltivekimab or placebo is the same. Ziltivekimab is not yet approved in any country or region in the world. It is a new medicine that doctors cannot prescribe. The study will last for about 2 years.
An early feasibility study to evaluate the safety and feasibility of the MRace Implant and Delivery System to treat severe mitral regurgitation and to gather preliminary data on its performance thereby providing guidance for future clinical development. The study is a single-arm registry with the last follow-up visit at 5 years post-intervention. The study will enroll up to 10 patients at one (1) center in Brazil.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of transcranial electrical stimulation (tDCS) on motor performance, autonomic control and attentional and executive functions in young individuals.
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 single-centre, single-blind, non-comparative clinical trial to assess the safety of the investigational product through clinical probability assessment. Thirty-three female participants, aged between 18-45, will be required. Assessment of dermal (dermatological) and gynecological acceptance, in addition to pH measurements and vaginal force collection for microbiological analysis at the beginning and end of the study.
Assessment of long term effect of Provox Life HME use on pulmonary symptoms in laryngectomized patients.
