There are about 9876 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.
Researchers are looking for a better way to treat people with atrial fibrillation and prevent stroke or systemic embolism (blood clots travelling through the blood stream to plug another vessel). Atrial fibrillation is a condition of having irregular and often rapid heartbeat. It can lead to the formation of blood clots in the heart which can travel through the blood stream to plug another vessel, and like this lead to serious and life-threatening conditions, such as a stroke. A stroke occurs because the brain tissue beyond the blockage no longer receives nutrients and oxygen so that brain cells die. As strokes arising from atrial fibrillation can involve extensive areas of the brain, it is important to prevent them. Blood clots are formed in a process known as coagulation. Medications are already available to prevent the formation of blood clots. When taken by mouth (orally), they are known as oral anticoagulants (OACs) including apixaban. OACs decrease the risk of the above-mentioned serious and life-threatening conditions. The main side effect of OACs is an increase of the risk of bleeding. The study treatment asundexian is a new type of anticoagulant currently under development to provide further treatment options. Asundexian aims to further improve the standard of care with regard to the risk of bleeding. The main purpose of this study is to collect more data about how well asundexian works to prevent stroke and systemic embolism and how safe it is compared to apixaban in people with atrial fibrillation and at high risk for stroke. To see how well the study treatment asundexian works researchers compare: - how long asundexian works well and - how long apixaban works well after the start of the treatment. Working well means that the treatments can prevent the following from happening: - stroke and/or - systemic embolism. The study will keep collecting data until a certain number of strokes or embolisms happen in the study. To see how safe asundexian is, the researchers will compare how often major bleedings occur after taking the study treatments asundexian and apixaban, respectively. Major bleedings are bleedings that have a serious or even life-threatening impact on a person's health. The study participants will be randomly (by chance) assigned to 1 of 2 treatment groups, A and B. Dependent on the treatment group, the participants will either take the study treatment asundexian by mouth once a day or apixaban by mouth twice a day for approximately 9 - 33 months. Each participant will be in the study for approximately 9 - 34 months. There will be visits to the study site every 3 to 6 months and up to 7 phone calls. Those participants who do not want or are unable to have visits to the study site may join the study remotely in selected locations. The location name contains the abbreviation - DCT in such cases. During the study, the study team will: - take blood samples - do physical examinations - examine heart health using an electrocardiogram (ECG) - check vital signs such as blood pressure and heart rate - do pregnancy tests - ask the participants questions about their quality of life - ask the participants questions about how they are feeling and what adverse events they are having. An adverse event is any medical problem that a participant has during a study. Doctors keep track of all adverse events that happen in studies, even if they do not think the adverse events might be related to the study treatments.
The goal of this clinical study is to test how well the study drug, obeldesivir (formerly GS-5245), works and how safe it is in treating coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in participants that have a higher risk of getting a serious illness.
The overarching goal of the Master Protocol is to find effective strategies for inpatient management of patients with COVID-19. Therapeutic goals for patients hospitalized for COVID-19 include hastening recovery and preventing progression to critical illness, multiorgan failure, or death. Our objective is to determine whether modulating the host tissue response improves clinical outcomes among patients with COVID-19.
This ambispective (both retrospective and prospective) NIS will evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Avelumab as a maintenance therapy administered after completion of first-line platinum-based chemotherapy in patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer under routine conditions of daily clinical practice in Argentina and Brazil in line with the approved Avelumab label indication. Primary objective: • To evaluate overall survival (OS) rate at 12 and 24- months after the index date (date of the first Avelumab administration) in patients treated with Avelumab maintenance therapy. Secondary objectives: • To assess OS in patients treated with Avelumab maintenance therapy. To assess progression-free survival (PFS) of patients treated with Avelumab maintenance therapy. • To evaluate safety and tolerability of Avelumab maintenance therapy. • To assess duration of treatment (DOT) between the first and last dose of avelumab. • To describe the clinical and demographics characteristics of Argentinean and Brazilian patients treated with Avelumab maintenance therapy. Other objectives: • To evaluate anti-tumor effectiveness of Avelumab maintenance therapy.
Phase 2, multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel-group trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of daxdilimab in patients with active, proliferative lupus nephritis (LN).
The Phase 2 study will be conducted in adult patients with confirmed Dengue infection and will investigate safety, PK, and pharmacodynamics (PD) in this population. The study will be conducted in several dosing cohorts to enable dose selection for subsequent trials
This is a prospective, multicenter, randomized (3:1), placebo- controlled, parallel-group, double-blind trial. Patients will be randomized into two arms of treatment: - Placebo + SoC (N=30) - NanoManganese® + SoC (N=90) Patients will be treated and followed-up for 10 days: - Arterial oxygen partial pressure (PaO2) will be measured at baseline and at days 3, 5 and 10, - Oxygen saturation, vital signs including respiration rate, pulse rate, blood pressure and body temperature, disease severity (7-point ordinal scale and NEWS2 score) will be measured at baseline and daily, - Hematology and biochemistry measurements will be done at baseline and at day 3, 5 and 10, - Pharmacokinetic (Blood Mn concentration) measurements will be done at baseline and at day 3, 5 and 10, - Biomarkers will be measured at baseline and at day 3, 5 and 10. At the end of the 10-day treatment period, a follow-up visit will be planned between day 15 and day 22. The following. assessments/examinations will be performed: oxygen saturation, vital signs including respiration rate and body temperature, disease severity (7-point ordinal scale and NEWS2 score), electrocardiogram (ECG), hematology, biochemistry, concomitant therapies, and adverse events.
To verify the effect of orofacial myofunctional therapy in patients with OSA during the use of CPAP with a nasal mask, on the frequency and leak flow. In addition, the impact on mouth opening frequency, sleep quality, perception of excessive daytime sleepiness, and CPAP adherence will be evaluated.
Collection of clinical and genetic data to help identify individuals that carry genetic variants of known importance in Non-alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH)
Insomnia is defined as some difficulty in sleep onset, consolidation, duration, or quality, despite appropriate opportunities for getting sleep. In the last decade, there is growing evidence associating insomnia and high blood pressure, (HBP), coronary disease, heart failure, atrial fibrillation, as well as with an increased mortality rate. Despite the previously mentioned advances, the real impact of insomnia on HBP is unknown. It is unclear whether the diagnosis and pharmacologic treatment of insomnia will have an impact on 24-h BP. The aim of this study is to outline the prevalence of insomnia in patients with HBP followed in the ambulatories from the Hypertension Units at InCor and Hospital das Clínicas. The main hypothesis is that the prevalence of insomnia is high and most patients remain undiagnosed and consequently untreated. For this phase, up to 1,500 patients with HBP will be selected. Besides the medical records with demographic and anthropometric data, personal and familiar background, as well as regular medication, all patients will perform three systematic and standardized blood pressure checks on electric monitors.
