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, pharmacokinetics (PK), and activity of GDC-1971 when administered in combination with atezolizumab in participants with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors. The study will have 2 stages- dose finding stage and expansion stage. In expansion stage participants with non-small cell lung cancer programmed death ligand -1 high (NSCLC PD L-1 high), NSCLC PD L-1 low, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) PD L-1 positive, BRAF wild type (BRAF WT) melanoma and any locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors will be enrolled.
Non-specific low back pain (LBP) is a very prevalent health condition and is highly associated with disability worldwide. There is evidence that patients with non-specific LBP may have impairments in the control of postural muscles. In this way, motor control exercises (MCE) may be an interesting alternative in the treatment of patients with non-specific LBP. In addition, the association of MCE and photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) may potentiate its benefits, since PBMT has ergogenic effects. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate the ergogenic effects of PBMT, using low-level laser therapy, when associated with MCE in patients with chronic non-specific low back pain.
Randomized clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy of a multi-component nature-based intervention on clinical outcomes for visitors from different natural areas in Brazil.
Cluster randomized controlled trial comparing two bathing strategies in critically ill patients. The intervention group will receive daily bathing with chlorhexidine. The control group will receive usual care.
It is well evidenced in the literature that fasting aerobic exercise generates a series of metabolic differences when compared to exercise performed in the fed state, including the use of fats predominantly as an energy source. Consequently, increases in adaptations to aerobic training, related to health and physical performance, are observed when sessions are performed in the fasted state. In relation to resistance training, the evidence is limited. There is a lack of data in the literature regarding the effects of fasting on resistance exercises and whether this practice may reflect in losses or improvements in morphological and neuromuscular adaptations related to resistance training. Thus, the aim of the present project is to compare the effects of resistance training performed in the fasted state compared to the fed state during 12 weeks on body composition and physical performance in young adults. Thirty-four eutrophic or overweight individuals, not engaged in regular resistance exercises, aged between 20 and 40 years, will be recruited. They will be put on a standard customized diet and will perform 2 weekly sessions of resistance exercise after overnight fasting (10 to 12 hours) or in the fed state, for 12 weeks. Before, in the middle and after this period, evaluations of body composition, muscle thickness and quality, maximum dynamic strength and maximum power will be analyzed. Comparisons will be performed using Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE), adopting the factors group (2 stratifications) and time (3 stratifications). All results will be expressed as mean and standard deviation and the accepted significance level will be 5%.
The aim of this clinical trial is to develop and test the effectiveness of a smartphone app-based self-management program based on exercise and pain education for police officers and firefighters with chronic low back pain.
There is evidence of three randomized controlled trials that face-to-face CFT reduces disability compared with active interventions for adults with chronic low back pain. The pandemic enabled the popularization of tele rehabilitation around the globe, but there are still no clinical trial testing the effectiveness of Cognitive Functional Therapy (CFT) via tele rehabilitation for elderly people with chronic low back pain. The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of CFT compared with Pilates, both via tele rehabilitation in elderly patients with chronic low back pain.
This study examines the impact of Auxilio Brasil (AB), a cash transfer program to mothers of school-age children, on resource-deprived populations in Brazil and its protective effects on child neurodevelopment and mental health. The investigators will conduct a randomized clinical trial (RCT) among those already receiving AB in which 300 families will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either a high ($40/month) or low ($2/month) supplemental transfer for 2 years. Three hundred children (index child participants; 7-10 years old) will be enrolled across both study arms. Additionally, up to 150 siblings ("sibling participants;" 7-10 years old) will be enrolled. Eligible families who decide to participate will sign a study-specific informed consent (mother) and assent (child) form. The UNIFESP team will conduct the respective assessments at baseline, approximately 8- and 16- months, 24-months and approximately 6-months post-RCT. Aim 1: Determine the impact of high vs low cash transfers on children's exposure to adversities (ACEs) and neurodevelopment. Aim 2: Determine the impact of cash transfers on children's inflammatory markers and HPA activity/cortisol. Exploratory Aim: The investigators will explore (i) whether sex/gender of the children moderates the pathways in the above mediation model; and (ii) whether cash transfer-related effects persist 6 months post-RCT.
This study aims to determine the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK) and recommended Phase 3 dose (RP3D) of RYZ101 in Part 1, and the safety, efficacy, and PK of RYZ101 compared with investigator-selected standard of care (SoC) therapy in Part 2 in subjects with inoperable, advanced, well-differentiated, somatostatin receptor expressing (SSTR+) gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs) that have progressed following treatment with Lutetium 177-labelled somatostatin analogue (177Lu-SSA) therapy, such as 177Lu-DOTATATE or 177Lu-DOTATOC (177Lu-DOTATATE/TOC), or 177Lu-high affinity [HA]-DOTATATE.
The natural history of SMA patients has changed, due to the improvements in treatment and technological advances. The systematic collection of data from routine clinical practice in multiple Latin American countries, harmonized to an internationally aligned core data set, is important to advancing the understanding the natural history of disease in the region and the influence of different drug treatments on patient outcomes. These data are critical to improving the care of these patients. So far, clinical trials regarding therapeutic approaches for SMA patients only cover a subgroup of the broad spectrum of severity of SMA. Thus, there is a strong need to monitor the full range of treated and untreated SMA patients in a real-world context.The aim of this study is to set up a regional healthcare provider (HCP) entered registry. The planned SMA registry will provide an online platform to collect longitudinal data on SMA patients across Latin America to achieve a better understanding of the clinical characteristics of SMA patients, the natural history of the disease, the use of DMTs and patients' outcomes, as well as to support further research projects and regional data generation.
