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 objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of chloroquine in the treatment of patients with dengue.
This is a Phase III, randomized, multicenter, international, 2-arm, open-label clinical trial designed to compare the safety and efficacy of trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) with that of capecitabine + lapatinib for HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Patients were treated until disease progression, unmanageable toxicity, or study termination. Once disease progression was reported, all patients were followed for survival every 3 months until death, loss to follow-up, withdrawal of consent, or study termination.
The purpose of this study is to analyze gene expression signature and immunohistochemical markers associated with clinical and pathological response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in locally advanced breast cancer.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the importance of providing guidelines to patients via active telephone calls in blood pressure control and in the discontinuation of treatment among hypertensive patients. Hypertensives (N = 354) who could receive telephone calls to be reminded of the dates of their medical appointments and to be instructed about hypertension were distributed into two groups: a) "uncomplicated" - hypertensives with no other concurrent diseases; and b) "complicated" - severe hypertensives (mean diastolic ≥ 110 mm Hg with or without medication) or comorbidities. All patients, except those excluded (n=44), were open block randomized to follow two treatment regimens: "traditional" or "current" and to receive active telephone calls ("phone calls" group) or not to receive telephone calls ("no phone calls" group).
RATIONALE: Gathering information about quality of life, fatigue, and other symptoms from patients with myelodysplastic syndromes may help doctors learn more about the disease and may help plan treatment. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying quality of life and symptoms in patients with newly diagnosed myelodysplastic syndromes.
SUMMARY INTRODUCTION: among various treatments for patients with primary snoring, upper airway resistance syndrome (UARS) and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), the injection snoreplasty arose as a promising alternative in some selected cases. OBJECTIVE: to investigate the efficacy and tolerance of injection snoreplasty comparing Ethanol and Ethanolamine Oleate.
Triamcinolone has already been used by different routes of administration to treat diabetic macular edema. In the present study, intravitreal injection (IVI) and posterior sub-Tenon's infusion (STI) of triamcinolone acetonide (TA) during phacoemulsification cataract surgery in eyes with refractory diffuse diabetic macular edema are tested.
This study evaluates the use of topical cyclosporine 0.05% and sodium carboxymethylcellulose 0.5% for the treatment of dry eye disease in patients infected with the human immunodeficiency virus. Twenty HIV-positive-patients were selected from the Department of Infectious Diseases of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro Hospital. Dry eye diagnosis was based on a dry eye questionnaire (Ocular Surface Disease Index - OSDI®), Schirmer I Test, break up time and 1% rose bengal staining of the ocular surface. The patients were divided into two groups with ten patients. Group I received sodium carboxymethylcellulose 0.5% drops and group II received sodium carboxymethylcellulose 0,5% drops and topical cyclosporine 0.05% for six months.
The purpose of this study is to determine if propofol could protect erythrocytes by directly scavenging free radicals from the blood current and increasing resistance of their cell membranes in patients submitted to gastroplasty.
The primary purpose of this study is to determine the pharmacokinetic properties (what the body does to maraviroc) and to determine a suitable dosing schedule of maraviroc in HIV-1 infected children and adolescents. This study will also determine whether maraviroc is safe to use in children and adolescents.
