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.
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.
This is a multicenter, randomized, and open-label study to evaluate the immune responses and safety profiles of children aged 6-12 years and adolescents aged 13-17 years receiving Ad5-nCoV (intramuscular injection) or Ad5-nCoV-IH (nebulized inhalation) ≥ 90 days after receiving two doses of CoronaVac.
This was a phase III, randomized, double blind, multicenter, 2-arm study evaluating the efficacy and safety of amcenestrant compared with tamoxifen in participants with hormone receptor-positive early breast cancer who discontinued adjuvant aromatase inhibitor (AI) therapy due to treatment related toxicity. The primary objective was to demonstrate the superiority of amcenestrant versus tamoxifen on invasive breast cancer-free survival. The treatment duration per participant was to be 5 years, followed with a subsequent 5-years follow-up period. For the treatment period, visits were scheduled at the start of treatment, then at 4 weeks and 12 weeks after treatment start, and then every 12 weeks for the first 2 years and every 24 weeks for year 3 to 5. For the follow-up period, visits were scheduled 30 days after last treatment and then every 12 months. Three periods were planned: - A screening period of up to 28 days, - A treatment period of up to 5 years, - A follow-up period of up to 5 years.
A prospective interventional study is expected to be conducted, to test a possible new treatment for amblyopia (lazy eye syndrome). Bilateral transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a type of noninvasive brain stimulation, which may help in visual function recovery of adult patients with amblyopia. This pilot study will test the feasibility of said therapy, along with the short term effects of bilateral tDCS in visual function.
Youth depression is a matter of concern worldwide. It affects an important part of the young population around the world and its consequences both physically and mentally make this issue an important research field for psychologists and other health related professionals (Zuckerbrot, Cheung, Jensen, Stein & Laraque, 2018). Two of the biggest challenges that clinicians and researchers face when dealing with youth depression are adherence and the establishment of a therapeutic alliance (TA; Nock & Ferriter, 2005). While several treatments are available to relief depressive symptomatology in youths, a significant number do not access them for a variety of reasons (DiMatteo, Lepper & Corgan, 2000). In the last decades, substantial research has been conducted on how youths and the general population perceive therapy, and different methods have been developed to assess clients and therapists in order to improve outcomes and other aspects of the psychotherapy process, such as feedback tools and real-time measurements like Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) (Shiffman, et al., 2008). With the aid of Information Communication Technologies (ICTs) and eMental Health strategies, feedback and assessment tools can be presented in a friendly manner, providing a novel way to possibly improving adherence rates and TA scores. This study aims to develop and test the effectiveness of an Ecological Momentary Assessment mobile application to improve initial adherence and TA in psychotherapy for youths with depression. The hypotheses for this trial are: 1. Applying an EMA baseline screening application one week before the beginning of treatment for youth depression will significantly improve the TA. 2. Applying an EMA baseline screening application one week before the beginning of treatment for youth depression will significantly improve initial adherence.
This is a phase 3, randomized, placebo controlled, double-blind, multicenter, stratified study of CPI-006 plus standard of care (SOC) versus placebo plus SOC in mild to moderately symptomatic hospitalized Covid-19 patients with the primary objective to compare the proportion of participants alive and respiratory failure free between CPI-006 plus SOC versus placebo plus SOC.
The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of efavaleukin alfa in subjects with active systemic lupus erythematosus.
This study is open to adults with COVID-19 infection who are in hospital and receive oxygen. Participants need to be 50 years of age or older and need to be at risk of further worsening of their condition. The purpose of the study is to find out whether a medicine called BI 764198 helps people with COVID-19 infection and breathing problems. BI 764198 may prevent cell death and swelling of the lung tissue and therefore help patients with COVID-19 infection. Participants are put into 2 groups by chance. One group of participants gets BI 764198 capsules and the other group gets placebo capsules. The placebo capsules look exactly like the BI 764198 capsules but do not contain any medicine. Participants take 1 capsule per day. Participants are in the study for about a month. At study end, doctors compare the 2 groups for the number of patients that are alive and do not need mechanical breathing support. During the study, the doctors collect information on any health problems of the participants.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of derazantinib monotherapy or derazantinib in combination with paclitaxel and ramucirumab in patients with gastric adenocarcinoma (GAC) i.e. with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative adenocarcinoma of the stomach or gastro-esophageal junction harboring fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) genetic aberrations (GA).
This study will evaluate the effect of each dose of MK-3655 versus placebo on the percentage of individuals with NASH resolution without worsening of fibrosis after 52 weeks. The primary hypothesis of the study is that at least 1 dose of MK-3655 is superior to placebo with respect to the percentage of individuals with NASH resolution without worsening of fibrosis after 52 weeks.
