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.
Brain metastases occur in 20-40% of patients with metastatic cancer. The standard treatment is based on whole brain radiation therapy and local treatment of metastases as neurosurgery or radiosurgery. However, many cases can not receive a standard local treatment, and local relapse occurs in almost 50% of cases treated with only whole brain irradiation. There are retrospective studies of increased radiation dose at the site of metastasis with hypofractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (HSRT) with favorable results, but there are no controlled studies regarding the safety of radiation dose in these situations. This study is a phase I study to evaluate the maximum tolerance dose (MTD) with HSRT as a way to increase the dose of radiation after the WBRT for patients with 1-3 brain metastases not eligible for surgery or RS.
To evaluate the safety of intravitreal ranibizumab repeated injections in patients with diabetic macular edema regarding maintenance of retinal ganglion cell function.
GALATIR is a double blind randomized clinical trial comparing efficacy and safety of BCD-021 (bevacizumab) and Lucentis® (ranibizumab) in patients with neovascular wet age-related macular degeneration. The purpose of the study is to demonstrate the non-inferiority of efficacy and safety of BCD-021 compared to Lucentis®.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether combination of ketamine plus electroconvulsive therapy improves depressive symptoms decreasing cognitive side effects.
This is a Clinical study Phase III, Prospective, Randomized, Controlled, Double-blind, Multicenter, National, Non-inferiority. Its purpose is to determine the noninferiority in efficacy of an investigational product in relation to the product available in the market intended of treating pressure ulcers.
Clinical trial phase III, noninferiority, controlled, double-blind, randomized. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the noninferiority between Levobupivacaine and Bupivacaine in spinal anesthesia.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the rate of decline in quantitative viral load measured in hospitalized patients with Influenza A infection
MP4OX is being developed as an ischemic rescue therapy to perfuse and oxygenate tissues at risk during hemorrhagic shock. MP4OX is a pegylated hemoglobin-based colloid designed to improve perfusion and target delivery of oxygen to ischemic tissues. This study will evaluate safety and efficacy of MP4OX treatment, in addition to standard therapy, in trauma patients suffering from lactic acidosis due to severe hemorrhagic shock.
Sickle Cell disease is caused by an inherited hemoglobin disorder. Healthy red blood cells are discoid and can deform and move through small blood vessels to carry oxygen to all parts of the body. In Sickle Cell disease, as red blood cells circulate and oxygen is released, the deoxygenated abnormal Hemoglobin S can begin to polymerize and cause red cells to become sticky and elongated. These "sickled" red cells are less flexible and will obstruct small blood vessels and prevent normal red cells from circulating freely, which limits oxygen delivery to tissues and organs. This is known as a "sickling crisis" or "vaso-occlusive crisis" and is the leading cause of hospitalization in patients with Sickle Cell disease. Patients suffering from a sickle crisis experience severe pain and are at risk of stroke, heart attack or even death. Current therapy is limited to hydration and symptomatic pain relief. The administration of MP4CO as an adjunct treatment to standard therapy may alleviate pain associated with a sickling crisis and potentially reduce the severity and duration of a crisis. This may shorten the time in hospital and potentially improve the quality of life for patients with sickle cell anemia.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of prolonged low-dose methylprednisolone infusion on pulmonary function (LIS and ventilation-free days), extra pulmonary organ function (PMODS score), inflammatory markers - RCP (Reactive C Protein), IL6 (Interleukine 6), TNFα (Tumor Necrosis Factor), IL8 (Interleukine 8), IL10 (Interleukine 10) and length of Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) stay in early ALI/ARDS in children.
