There are about 1933 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Colombia. 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.
Phase II Study to Evaluate the Impact of SBRT (Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy) and/or SRS (Stereotactic Radiosurgery) on Oligoresidual Disease in EGFR Mutation Patients Treated with Osimertinib as First-Line Systemic Intervention. All candidates must exhibit a partial response after 12 weeks of treatment with the third-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor (alone or in combination with chemotherapy) and a maximum of five (5) residual lesions in a maximum of two (2) organs. The primary outcome will be progression-free survival (PFS), and secondary outcomes will include overall survival (OS), proportion of patients without progression at months 12 and 36, safety, and overall response rate (ORR). Additionally, an exploratory analysis will be conducted on the prognostic value of liquid biopsy (supplementary information), considering baseline presence of mutations (determined by Next Generation Sequencing tests) and reduction or negativization of allelic fraction (AF).
Introduction: Injuries are a leading cause of mortality worldwide. It is necessary to know the incidence of injuries, mechanisms of wounds, therapy provided, and outcomes. Trauma registries are useful to describe the population served in specialized centers. Nevertheless, it is necessary also to identify the peculiarities of the event in the province and institutions non-dedicated to trauma attention. Objective: The study aims to describe the initial experience with a trauma register in a general hospital in the Colombian Orinoquia. Methodology: The investigators designed an observational retrospective study to analyze the admission database and revision of history charts of patients older than 15 years admitted for trauma from January to June 2023 in a hospital from Villavicencio, Colombia. The information will be exported to Excel for debugging and analysis. A description of the frequency and proportion of categorical variables will be performed; the central distribution and dispersion of quantitative variables will be reported. U of Mann-Whitney and Chi-square tests will be used to compare the variables by outcome; a p<0.05 was selected as a significant value. Conclusions: It will be a pioneer study in this region, and it is necessary to evaluate the incidence of patients admitted by trauma, the mechanisms and type of injury, the care provided, and the outcomes.
A bioequivalence study of Dasatinib will be carried out in 46 healthy subjects, in fed condition, following the complete replicated design, randomized, comparative of 2 sequences, 2 study formulations, in a single dose of 100 mg of Dasatinib tablets / coated tablets, 4 periods. , with a washout time of 7 days between each dose
Minimally invasive electrical stimulation of the nerve hypoglossal for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea. To demonstrate the correct stimulation of the medial branches of the hypoglossal nerve and tongue protrusion using a minimally invasive implantation technique in patients with OSA.
This is a descriptive, ambispective, and single-site study in Colombia, which is designed to evaluate the adherence, persistence, and clinical outcomes (defined as the patient's disease activity and functional status) of RA patients within 40 weeks after the patient administered the first injection of the etanercept medication through the Smartclic® device. The study data seeks from medical records containing the Smartclic device injection log and pharmacy claims database available from an institution specialized in rheumatological care. The study will only include records of patients treated or starting treatment with etanercept and whose indicated autoinjection device has been Smartclic.
Total daily energy expenditure (TDEE) is known as the energy used by an organism during a day. The TDEE is divided into resting energy expenditure (REE), the thermic effect of food (TFE), and the energy expenditure of physical activity. There are multiple methods of measuring REE (e.g., estimating equations, direct and indirect calorimetry) among which there are significant discrepancies in its calculation in specific populations. Considering the lack of validation in the Colombian population to estimate the REE, the objective of the present research study is to compare the methods for estimating resting energy expenditure in the Colombian population with different levels of physical activity. This cross-sectional-observational study will be carried out through the guidelines for strengthening the reporting of observational studies in nutritional epidemiology (STROBE-Nut). The study population will be 130 adults from the city of Medellín, Bogotá and metropolitan areas with different levels of physical activity according to the results of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPA-Q) where a high (athletes), moderate (physically active people) and low (sedentary) categorization will be made, then the indirect calorimetry tests will be applied. The development of the equation to estimate the REE will be carried out with multiple regression models under traditional and Bayesian approaches with three independent variables. It is expected to obtain a simple and valid equation to estimate the REE and contribute to the good practices of Colombian practitioners in health sciences, exercise, and sports.
It is essential to delve deeper into the molecular and tissue aspects that allow us to recognize the roles of adipose tissue and its interaction with the musculoskeletal (i.e., adipomyokines) to facilitate the identification of biomarkers that can complement the assessment of body composition. Thus, investigators posed the following research question: what characteristics of adipose tissue can investigators consider to rethink assessment for the diagnosis and treatment of obesity? The 'Project ATA' is a cross-sectional study based on the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology-Nutritional Epidemiology (STROBE-nut) guidelines, an Extension of the STROBE Statement. The FINER strategy (Feasible, Interesting, Novel, Ethical, and Relevant) and previously published guidelines for organizing a multicenter study will be followed. The 'Project ATA' will test the associations of several morphological metrics and adipomyokines in order to both profile populations with excess body fat and to establish practical geographical-based recommendations for practitioners.
Controlled clinical trial of two parallel groups, with random assignment 1:1, non-inferiority, blinded for the patient, for who administers the intervention and for who analyzes the data. 112 participants
This is a phase Ib/II clinical study that has two phases. In phase Ib, the safety evaluation of the extract of Petiveria alliacea (Esperanza) will be carried out in patients with metastatic gastrointestinal tumors (colon, pancreas, stomach, and biliary tract) and patients with newly diagnosed and relapsed acute leukemia. In phase IIb, the safety will continue to be evaluated, and the efficacy of the Esperanza extract will be explored in combination with chemotherapy in patients with metastatic gastrointestinal tumors (colon, pancreas, stomach, and biliary tract) with newly diagnosed acute leukemias and relapses.
EcoID is a study designed as an adaptive controlled clinical trial with a first phase of superiority and a second phase of non-inferiority with change of control, of parallel groups, random assignment and blinding of investigators measuring outcome.
