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.
This is a single-arm, multi-center, open-label extension study designed to provide continued pertuzumab therapy to patients receiving pertuzumab as an investigational medicinal product (IMP) in a Roche-sponsored global study and who continue to receive pertuzumab at the end of the Parent study, as well as to collect long-term safety and efficacy data of pertuzumab therapy. Patients with solid tumors who have not experienced progressive disease in the Parent study and, in the investigator's opinion, may potentially benefit from continued pertuzumab treatment, will continue to receive pertuzumab until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, investigator/patient decision, patient non-compliance, patient death, patient request to withdraw, or study termination by the Sponsor, whichever occurs first.
The purpose of this study is to assess enzalutamide plus leuprolide in patients with high-risk nonmetastatic prostate cancer progressing after radical prostatectomy or radiotherapy or both. The randomized / blinded portion of the study is now completed following primary endpoint analyses. The study remains ongoing in open label format.
The purpose of Phase 1b of this study is to: - Asses the safety, tolerability and activity of carfilzomib, alone and in combination with induction chemotherapy, in children with relapsed or refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). - Determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and to recommend a phase 2 dose of carfilzomib in combination with induction chemotherapy. The purpose of Phase 2 of this study is to compare the rate of complete remission (CR) of carfilzomib in combination with vincristine, dexamethasone, PEG asparaginase, daunorubicin (VXLD) at the end of induction therapy to an appropriate external control.
To assess the efficacy and safety of AZD9291 versus a standard of care epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor in patients with locally advanced or Metastatic Non Small Cell Lung Cancer
The purpose of this study is to determine the early effects of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in patients with mild traumatic brain injury and persistent post concussion syndrome(PPCS) with cognitive deficits in long term episodic memory and executive function(inhibitory control).
Knee dislocation is a serious injury, usually caused by high-energy trauma. It is classically defined as complete loss of articular congruence between the femur and the tibia, confirmed by radiography. However it is common that the reduction happens spontaneously. For this reason, today the investigators also consider a patient suffered knee dislocation in the presence of multi-ligament injury involving the posterior cruciate ligament, often in association with anterior cruciate ligament, lateral and/or medial ligamentous complex. It is considered a serious injury, because both the strong association with vascular and nerve damage, which can lead to the need for limb amputation, such as the difficulty in obtaining a good functional outcome even after treatment of all ligament injuries. The treatment of these injuries aims to achieve knee stability. Joint mobility is often sacrificed in the postoperative period, with the use of immobilizations such as casts, splints or bracing. Unfavorable clinical outcomes with high rates of stiffness and joint pain are very common in these patients. In attempts to improve these results, rehabilitation protocols with early range of motion can be employed. However, results may remain unsatisfactory, predominantly because of knee instability recurrence. Stannard and Zaffagnini proposed a new model for treatment of acute knee dislocations. In this model, after multi-ligament reconstruction or repair, a knee articulated external fixator is used. Such external fixator allows early and aggressive joint mobility in the sagittal plane only. Flexion and extension are permitted, but rotational movements, translations in the anterior-posterior plane, lateral (varus) and medial (valgus) openings are not allowed. Thus protective stability is ensured for ligament reconstruction procedures. Simultaneously the investigators allow immediate joint mobilization, reducing the risk of arthrofibrosis, joint stiffness and postoperative ligament laxity. There is no consensus regarding the use of hinged external fixator postoperatively in multiple ligament reconstruction procedures for treatment of knee dislocations. The objective of this study is comparing functional outcomes after ligament reconstruction in patients with knee dislocation, with or without the use of hinged external fixator.
Abstract Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSA) is characterized by complete or partial collapse of a narrowed pharynx and it's associated with reduction in cerebral blood flow, cardiovascular disease, and neuropsychological deficits and reduces survival. In patients with AOS structural, metabolic and hypoperfusion cerebral were associated not only with physiological functions but also with attention and executive function. There is a higher association between apnea hypopnea index and Mini-Mental State Examination in individuals with the exon 4 of APO E gene, indicating that exon 4 of APO E gene confers an increased risk for cognitive decline in individuals with sleep apnea. The analysis of presence and consequences of OSA in cerebral structure, inflammation and neurovascular control can permit a better investigation of abnormalities in these individuals and implement interventions to reduce the risk of development of cognitive and cardiovascular impairment. The non-pharmacological intervention through exercise training can represent an important strategy for improvement in cerebral alterations, cognition and reduction in sleep apnea index. The purpose of present study is investigate the volume and metabolism cerebral, neurovascular control, cognition and exon 4 of APO E gene and their
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (the study of the way a drug enters and leaves the blood and tissues over time) of golimumab administered intravenously (IV) to pediatric participants with polyarticular (affects 5 or more joints) juvenile (an onset before age 16) idiopathic (of unknown cause) arthritis (joint pain) (pJIA) manifested by greater than or equal to (>=) 5 joints with active arthritis despite methotrexate (MTX) therapy for >= 2 months.
The purpose of this study is to find out whether it is better to receive a new drug, MEDI4736, or better to receive no further treatment after surgery (and possibly chemotherapy) for lung cancer.
The purpose of this study is to compare the radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) of apalutamide in combination with abiraterone acetate (AA) plus prednisone or prednisolone (AAP) and AAP in participants with chemotherapy-naive (participants who did not receive any chemotherapy [treatment of cancer using drugs]) metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) (cancer of prostate gland [gland that makes fluid that aids movement of sperm]).
