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.
The aim of the study is to demonstrate that a ketoacid supplement in patients with stage III to IV chronic renal failure, reduces the excretion of urinary urea nitrogen
Objective: To evaluate the effects of recombinant Erythropoietin (rEPO) in plasma levels of Fibroblast Growth Factor 23 (FGF23) in End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) patients in hemodialysis. Method: Prospective cohort of ESRD patients in HD, where patients with or without rEPO therapy were compared. Measurements of plasma FGF23 were performed at baseline and during the complete study. Demographic, clinical and laboratory data will be obtained. Follow-up period: 12 weeks.
Muscle endurance will be evaluated on two exercises: Biering-Sorensen Test and Prone Plank Test. Each test will be assessed in different days following a randomized order.
The investigators seek to evaluate the effectiveness of Armeo®Spring Pediatric training, as compared to conventional treatment, in improving upper extremity function in children with Narakas I brachial plexus injury, aged 5-8 years, using the Mallet modified scale and passive range of movement, immediately post intervention and at 3 and 6 months´ follow up. The investigators will also monitor the appearance of adverse effects during and post intervention, with a follow up at 3 and 6 months.
Endothelial damage has been reported after ischemia-reperfusion events. This can be characterized by measurements of glycocalyx and endothelial components that are released to blood after the insult. Sevoflurane and inhaled anesthetic commonly used for surgery have shown protective endothelial effects in animal and in-vitro models. Knee-ligament surgery with the use of a femoral tourniquet generates a transient ischemia-reperfusion (IR) state after the tourniquet is released. This research aims to compare the effect of sevoflurane and propofol in the release of glycocalyx and endothelial biomarkers after IR in this surgical scenario.
The purpose of this clinical study is to determine whether the addition of an oral Factor XIa Inhibitor to Aspirin and Clopidogrel is more effective than standard therapy in secondary stroke prevention.
This study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, and biomarker effects of RO7234292 (RG6042) compared with placebo in participants with manifest Huntington's disease (HD)
The objectives of this randomized withdrawal study are to evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of the combination of relugolix, estradiol (E2) and norethindrone acetate (NETA), once daily, for up to 104 weeks in patients with uterine fibroids who have completed a total of 52 weeks of treatment, including a 24-week treatment period in a parent study (study MVT-601-3001 or MVT-601-3002) and a 28-week treatment period in the open-label extension study (MVT-601-3003), and who meet the definition of responder, defined as a patient who demonstrates a menstrual blood loss of < 80 mL and at least a 50% reduction from parent study baseline menstrual blood loss volume on the alkaline hematin analysis of the feminine products returned at Week 48 in the extension study.
The purpose of this study is to characterize the longitudinal bone mineral density (BMD) in premenopausal women with uterine fibroids or endometriosis.
The nerves from lumbar plexus (LP) are the current target to achieve analgesia after a total hip arthroplasty (THA). Lumbar plexus block (LPB) is an alternative that provides optimal postoperative analgesia. However, many adverse effects and complications have been reported due to its proximity to vital structures. Because of these shortcomings, an alternative to block the LP nerves is required. In a recent trial suprainguinal Fascia Iliaca Block (SFIB) was reported to provide reliable analgesia in THA. SFIB may carry a lower risk profile, however, no study has compared the efficacy of LPB and SFIB in this setting. Thus, this randomized trial is set out to compare US guided LPB and SFIB for analgesia after THA. The hypothesis is that both blocks would result in similar postoperative opioid (morphine) consumption at 24 hours and, therefore, designed the study as an equivalence trial.
