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 research study is testing the investigational drug necitumumab (IMC-11F8) in the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer. The aim of this study is to determine if necitumumab, given together with a standard chemotherapy combination consisting of cisplatin and gemcitabine will be more effective in improving participant disease than the standard chemotherapy combination alone.
The purpose of this study is to provide etravirine (ETR) through this trial until participants can be switched to locally available ETR-based treatment regimens (that is, commercially available and reimbursed, or accessible through another source [example, access program or government program]), or local standard of care, as appropriate.
This phase III trial studies the side effects and how well risk-based therapy works in treating younger patients with newly diagnosed liver cancer. Surgery, chemotherapy drugs (cancer fighting medicines), and when necessary, liver transplant, are the main current treatments for hepatoblastoma. The stage of the cancer is one factor used to decide the best treatment. Treating patients according to the risk group they are in may help get rid of the cancer, keep it from coming back, and decrease the side effects of chemotherapy.
This 3 arm study will assess the tolerability, safety and efficacy of 3 neoadjuvant treatment regimens in patients with locally advanced, inflammatory or early stage HER2-positive breast cancer. Before surgery, patients will be randomized to receive either A) 6 cycles of pertuzumab plus Herceptin, with FEC (5-fluorouracil/epirubicin/cyclophosphamide) for cycles 1-3 and docetaxel for cycles 4-6, or B) FEC for cycles 1-3 followed by pertuzumab plus Herceptin with docetaxel for cycles 4-6, or C) 6 cycles of pertuzumab plus Herceptin with docetaxel and carboplatin. Pertuzumab will be administered at a loading dose of 840mg iv, then 420mg iv 3-weekly, Herceptin at a loading dose of 8mg/kg iv, then 6mg/kg iv 3-weekly, docetaxel at 75mg/m2 iv, increased to 100mg/m2 iv 3-weekly, and FEC and carboplatin iv 3-weekly at standard doses. Following surgery patients will receive Herceptin 6mg/kg iv 3-weekly for a total of 1 year, as well as adequate chemo-, radio- and hormone therapy. Anticipated time on study treatment is 4-12 months, and target sample size is 200-300.
The objective of this research is to verify the language of children with Down syndrome concerning lexical, syntactic and semantic aspects using MLU. The hypothesis is that children with Down syndrome will present low performance, regarding not only the quantitative measures as MLU-m, MLU-w, GM-1 and GM-2, but also regarding the qualitative aspects of their production, when compared to children with typical development.
This Phase 3 study is designed to confirm the efficacy and safety of eliglustat tartrate (Genz-112638) in participants with Gaucher disease type 1 who have reached therapeutic goals with enzyme replacement therapy (ERT).
The aim of our study was to assess the clinical efficacy and safety of the drug Imescard compound water smartweed, adrenalin and hamamelis ointment in the treatment of hemorrhoidal disease in adults, in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial.
The aim of this study is to to analyze if it is possible to reach the goals of HbA1c <7.0% and blood pressure <= 130/80 mm Hg in a cohort of patients with type 2 diabetes attending a primary care unit, using ony those resources available at the unit, and provided by the Brazilian National Health System. It is an open label, observational study, with a duration of 4-6 years. Patients attending a primary care outpatient facility will be sequentially included in the study provided they give consent. They will be followed on a monthly basis by a team of physicians and nurses. Glucose, A1c, Blood PRessure will be the outcomes.
The aim of this study is to verify, through clinical examination and doppler, the non-inferiority of the drug test (heparin sodium 5.000UI/0.25 mL - HIPOLABOR) in relation to the drug compared (heparin sodium 5.000USP/mL - APP) in preventing the development of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients undergoing surgery for medium risk for the development of this pathology.
Assess the efficacy and safety of the topic use of an eutectic mixture of local anesthetics for postoperative pain control of patients submitted to hemorrhoidectomy. Patients will be operated and discharged at the same day in a day hospital clinic. During the fourteen days recovery period, they will apply the study medication to the anal region 4 times daily. The Visual Analog Pain Scale (VAS) will be answered twice daily. Patients will also take 100 mg oral nimesulide twice daily and 50 mg tramadol on demand up to 4 times daily. The tramadol demand will be tabulated. A rescue medication for analgesia will be provided (sodium diclofenac IM).
