There are about 2320 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Chile. 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 study in adolescents and adults with Generalized Pustular Psoriasis (GPP). People between 12 and 75 years old can take part in the study. The study is open to people who had GPP flare-ups in the past but whose skin is clear or almost clear when they join the study. The purpose of the study is to test 3 different doses of a medicine called spesolimab and to see whether it helps to prevent GPP flare-ups. Participants are put into 4 groups by chance. Three groups get different doses of spesolimab. The fourth group gets a placebo. Placebo looks like spesolimab but does not contain any medicine. Spesolimab and placebo are given as an injection under the skin. Participants are in the study for about 1 year and 4 months. During this time, they visit the study site about 15 times. For the first 11 months, participants get spesolimab or placebo injections every month. At the study visits, the doctors check participants' skin for signs of a new GPP flare-up. The doctors also check the general health of the participants. If a participant has a GPP flare-up during the study, more visits may be necessary. In case of a flare-up, participants get a dose of spesolimab as an infusion into a vein.
This study evaluates the effect of the systemic administration of Omega 3 as a therapy associated with non-surgical periodontal treatment, in the clinical and microbiological variables of patients with Moderate Periodontitis with moderate rate of progression (Stage II grade B) and Severe Periodontitis with potential for additional tooth loss and moderate rate of progression (Stage III grade B). A double-blind, randomized, controlled trial was conducted with 18 voluntary patients with a history of moderate to severe chronic periodontitis, who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria and signed an informed consent. The intervention group received Scaling and Root Planning (SRP) plus Omega 3, and the control group received SRP plus placebo. Probing depth (PD), Clinical Attachment Level (CAL), Biofilm Index (BI) and Bleeding on Probing (BOP) were evaluated as clinical variables while Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg), Tannerella forsythia (Tf), Treponema denticola (Td), Fusobacterium nucleatum (Fn) were the microbiological variables detected by conventional Polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
This study is designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of 20vPnC in healthy infants.
OSCAR (Otilimab in Severe COVID-19 Related Disease) is a multi-center, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial to assess the efficacy and safety of otilimab for the treatment of severe pulmonary COVID-19 related disease. The study is being conducted in 2 parts (Part 1 and Part 2). Otilimab is a human monoclonal anti-granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) antibody that has not previously been tested in participants with severe pulmonary COVID-19 related disease in Part 1. The aim of this study is to evaluate the benefit-risk of a single infusion of otilimab in the treatment of hospitalized participants with severe COVID-19 related pulmonary disease with new onset hypoxia requiring significant oxygen support or requiring early invasive mechanical ventilation (less than or equal to [<=] 48 hours before dosing). Participants will be randomized to receive a single intravenous (IV) infusion of otilimab or placebo, in addition to standard of care.
Currently there is no standard treatment for SARS-CoV-2 infection. Use of convalescent plasma has been studied in outbreaks of other respiratory infections, including SARS-CoV-1 , MERS-CoV and Hantavirus infection. This study is an open-label randomized trial in which patients with high risk of COVID19-associated respiratory failure will be randomized to early treatment with convalescent plasma (≤ 7 days from symptoms start) or at early signs of respiratory failure or prolonged hospitalization. COVID-19 convalescent plasma will be collected from individuals according to the institutional protocol.
The purpose of this study is tu assess the influence of oral contraceptives (OC) on diffuse noxious inhibitory control (DNIC) in healthy women, tested during high, low endogenous estrogens sessions and ovulatory period.
The on-going Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak has become the world's leading health headline and is causing major panic and public concerns. On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared that the new coronavirus outbreak as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern; and March 11, 2020, characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic. On March, 13, Europe become epicenter of the pandemic all countries in South America had been infected with at least one case. Health authorities, including WHO, have issued safety recommendations for taking simple precautions to reduce exposure to and transmission of the virus. Home stay is a fundamental safety step that can limit infections from spreading widely. Unfortunately, the mandated directives against travelling and participating in outdoor activities will inevitably disrupt the routine daily activities of tens of millions of people. Prolonged home stays may lead to widespread fear and panic, anxiety and depression, which in turn can lead to a sedentary lifestyle. Thus, while quarantine is a safe and priority measure, may have unintended negative consequences. These efforts to avoid human-to-human transmission of the virus may lead to spend excessive amounts of time sitting, reclining or lying down for screening activities (games, television, mobile devices); reducing energy expenditure that, consequently, lead to an increased in a range of chronic health conditions. Therefore, there is a strong health rationale for continuing physical activity in the home to stay healthy and prevent a wide range of psychological problems on people during outbreaks of infection. However, currently, there is no sufficient information on the psychological impact and mental health of the general public during the peak of the COVID-19 epidemic and a timely understanding of mental health status is urgently needed for society. To our knowledge, there are no research examining the psychological and social impact on COVID-19 on the general population. The aim of this research is to determinate the psychological responses in general population in order to understand the anxiety, depression and stress level during Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) confinement period, and how the level of physical activity development during this exceptional period could be influence.
CALAVI will investigate the safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetics of acalabrutinib together with Best Supportive Care in the treatment of COVID-19.
In the world, 230 million surgeries are performed per year and a significant part is performed in patients over 65 years of age. These patients are more labile, especially from the neurocognitive point of view with a high risk to develop neurocognitive complications, such as postoperative delirium. Recent studies have linked this type of complication with an overdose of general anesthetics during surgery. For this reason, in recent years, the use of brain function monitors during the intraoperative period has been recommended to adapt the dosage of the drugs to each patient and thus to avoid overdosing of general anesthetics. However, to date, the available monitors that process the electroencephalographic signal are not able to adequately discriminate gradual changes in anesthetic depth. Also, no systematic studies have been performed that analyze changes that occur in the electroencephalogram (EEG) signal secondary to increases in complications from general anesthetics. Thus, the investigators design this study with the main aim to determine the changes in electroencephalographic patterns induced by a stepped increase of propofol until the burst suppression is reached.
