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.
Background: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has remained a leading cause of mortality and disability worldwide. Although percutaneous coronary angioplasty (PCA) is the best treatment for these patients, paradoxically this procedure causes reperfusion injury. Considerable efforts aimed to reduce this damage have been made, but the results are disappointing and there is still no effective therapy for preventing the damage. Previously, the investigators have achieved a reduction of infarct size in an experimental model of an isolated rat heart, through a synergistic effect of three compounds in a "combined antioxidant therapy" (CAT). In this study, the investigators aim to describe the pharmacokinetics and safety of CAT intravenously administered to healthy subjects. This is the first step to a later clinical application of CAT in AMI patients. Methodology: The safety and pharmacokinetics of the CAT (deferoxamine, N-acetylcysteine, and ascorbate) will be assessed in healthy volunteers in a "phase I clinical trial". Two different formulations (mass of CAT components by bag) with different infusion rates each one will be tested (CAT1 and CAT2). Subjects (18-35 years old, n=18) will be randomized 1:2 to receive a placebo or CAT for 90 minutes. Blood concentrations of each CAT component will be measured in plasma at 0, 15, 30, 60, 90, 120, and 180 minutes after the infusion onset. Adverse events will be registered from the onset of infusion until day 30.
This study is designed to assess the efficacy and safety of datopotamab deruxtecan (Dato-DXd) in combination with pembrolizumab versus pembrolizumab alone in participants with advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
This study is open to adults with schizophrenia who took part in a previous CONNEX study (study 1346-0011, 1346-0012, or 1346-0013). The purpose of this study is to find out how well people with schizophrenia can tolerate a medicine called Iclepertin in the long term. Participants take Iclepertin as tablets once a day for 1 year. In addition, all participants take their normal medication for schizophrenia. Participants are in the study for a little more than 1 year. During this time, they visit the study site about 13 times and get about 9 phone calls from the study team. The doctors collect information on any health problems of the participants. Doctors also regularly check the participants' symptoms of schizophrenia.
This is a Phase III, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicentre, international study assessing the efficacy and safety of durvalumab (MEDI4736) and domvanalimab (AB154) compared with durvalumab plus placebo in adults with locally advanced (Stage III), unresectable NSCLC whose disease has not progressed following definitive platinum-based cCRT.
Fluid evaluation is relevant in critical care. Cardiac ultrasound is the first line of evaluation in hemodynamic characterization of patients in shock, to tailor therapy. Fluid responsiveness predictors allow to better decide when to administer fluids, and transesophagic view of superior vena cava is an effective one. Recently a transthoracic view of the superior vena cava has been described. The investigators aim to evaluate if the variations of superior vena cava can predict fluid responsiveness in critically il, ventilated patients. Hypothesis: Respiratory variations of superior vena cava diameter, evaluated with transthoracic ultrasound, can predict fluid responsiveness
The study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of rusfertide in subjects with polycythemia vera (PV) in maintaining hematocrit control and in improving symptoms of PV.
This is a Phase 3, open-label, international, multicenter study of CGT9486 in combination with sunitinib. This is a multi-part study that will enroll approximately 426 patients. Part 1 consists of two evaluations: 1) confirming the dose of an updated formulation of CGT9486 to be used in subsequent parts in approximately 20 patients who have received at least one prior line of therapy for GIST and 2) evaluating for drug-drug interactions between CGT9486 and sunitinib in approximately 18 patients who have received at least two prior tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) for GISTs. The second part of the study will enroll approximately 388 patients who are intolerant to, or who failed prior treatment with imatinib only and will compare the efficacy of CGT9486 plus sunitinib to sunitinib alone with patients being randomized in a 1:1 manner.
A Pragmatic Randomized Controlled Pilot Trial to Evaluate the Impact of Early Prophylactic Continuous Positive Airway Pressure with or without Supplemental Oxygen in Spontaneously Breathing Late Preterm Newborn Infants Born by Cesarean Delivery, Compared to No Early Prophylactic Continuous Positive Airway Pressure with or without Supplemental Oxygen, on the Need for Further Respiratory Support Leading to NICU Admissions.
Ankle fractures are one of the main causes of hospitalization due to injuries in Chile, which also have a discharge and partial load time of approximately 12 weeks in the recovery process. This generates disuse and atrophy of the posterior musculature of the leg called the triceps sural, which makes it difficult to restart and perform the gait. We conducted this research because practically all patients with this type of diagnosis have trigger points in these muscles, and dry needling technique is one of the best for its treatment, but has the disadvantage that it produces post dry needling pain of 48 hours and there is not enough information, or consensus on which method is better to reduce post dry needling pain. This study aims to prove wich technique is most useful in reducing pain post dry needling for the treatment of trigger points in the triceps sural muscle in ankle post fracture patients.
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a compressive peripheral neuropathy characterized by pain, tingling sensation and paresthesia in the territory of the median nerve. These symptoms cause significant functional impairment that affects patients' quality of life. Pain neuroscience education (PNE) combined with therapeutic exercise (TE) has shown good results in patients with chronic pain, but the effects of this multimodal treatment via telerehabilitation have not been studied in patients with CTS. Telerehabilitation has demonstrated clinical and functional outcomes as effective as face-to-face interventions, being a good alternative to improve accessibility to rehabilitation care in a context of pandemic and social distancing. The purpose of this study is to provide coordinated, patient-centered care by implementing a Telerehabilitation model for patients with severe CTS. The objective of this study was to compare the effectiveness of a multimodal therapy program (TE plus PNE) versus a unimodal treatment (TE) in patients with CTS. A Randomized Controlled Trial, simple-blind and multicenter study will be conducted. Patients will be randomly assigned to the multimodal treatment group (TE plus PNE) or to the unimodal treatment group (TE). At admission, an investigator blinded to treatment assignment will conduct data collection. The measurements will be the following outcomes: a) Pain Catastrophizing Scale; b) Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia-11; c) Numerical Rating Scale (NRS); d) Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire; e) Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale; f) Quality of Life, using the EQ-5D instrument; g) Patient's global impression of change; h) Katz Diagram; These evaluations will be performed again at week 6 and 12.
