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.
Patients over 18 years of age who are admitted to the Intermediate Care Unit of the Clinica del Country and the Clinica la Colina, with symptoms suggestive of severe pneumonia secondary to COVID-19 infection and acute hypoxemic respiratory failure. The primary outcome will be to determine the relationship between body mass index and high-flow cannula therapy success defined as: No need for mechanical ventilation.
This prospective, multicountry, multicentre, non-interventional study plans to include patients who have undergone surgery for early-stage (IA to IIIB on the basis of pathologic criteria) non-squamous NSCLC up to 6 weeks prior to enrolment into the study. The main objective of this study is to determine the prevalence of EGFRm in patients with surgically resected early-stage (IA to IIIB) non-squamous NSCLC as there are limited data on its prevalence in this patient population.
The Erector Spinae Plane Block (ESPB) is an adequate alternative for pain management after video-assisted thoracoscopy surgery (VATS). The incidence of postoperative chronic neuropathic pain (CNP) and the quality of life (QoL) in patients with ESPB after VATS remain unknown. We hypothesised that patients with ESPB would have a low incidence of acute and CNP and would report a good QoL up to three months after VATS.
The purpose of this Phase III study is to confirm that SNG001 can accelerate the recovery of hospitalised patients receiving oxygen with confirmed Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Safety and other efficacy endpoints will also be assessed.
The study drug, radium-223, gives off radiation that helps to kill cancer cells in the prostate. It is already available for patients to receive as a treatment for prostate cancer that has not responded to testosterone lowering treatment and has spread to the bones. This type of cancer is called metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, also called mCRPC. Sometimes, researchers continue studying an available treatment to learn more about how it affects patients' daily lives. In this study, the researchers want to learn more about how radium-223 affects the patients' ability to do their daily tasks. The patients in this study will already be receiving treatment with radium-223 as part of their routine care. The tests and measurements in this study will be done by the patients' own doctors. The researchers will collect information about the patients' treatment and results. The study will include patients with mCRPC who have at least 2 tumors in their bones. These patients will have recently started treatment with radium-223. The patients will have also had surgery or treatment to lower their testosterone levels. But, the treatment did not help their cancer. The study will include about 105 men in Colombia who are at least 18 years old. All of the patients will receive radium-223 through a needle put into the vein, also called an intravenous injection. They will visit their doctor's office up to 8 times during 28 weeks. At these visits, their doctors will ask how they are feeling and what medications they are taking, and will take blood samples. The doctors will also give the patients surveys about their physical, social, and emotional health and about the symptoms of their prostate cancer.
The aim of this study is to compare in schoolchildren the effectiveness of an updated caries management program based on the current caries paradigm with the ICCMS™ system (International Caries Classification and Management System) versus an adjusted Colombian dental public health service caries management program, in terms of: 1- caries risk probability, 2- caries lesions, 3- parents' knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding children's oral health. Null hypothesis: the caries management program based on its current paradigm offers the same degree of effectiveness than the conventional caries management program. Alternative hypothesis: the caries management program based on its current paradigm offers a different degree of effectiveness than the conventional caries management program.
The purpose of this double-blind, randomized, controlled study is to evaluate the efficacy, immunogenicity, reactogenicity and safety of an adjuvanted recombinant severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) trimeric spike (S)-protein subunit vaccine (SCB-2019) for the prevention of SARS-CoV-2-mediated COVID-19 in Participants Aged 12 Years and Older.
Background: Acute mesenteric ischemia is a vascular emergency with high mortality because of ambiguous symptomatology and a lack of early diagnostic markers. Lactate dehydrogenase has been described as a mortality biomarker and bowel necrosis length too. Nevertheless, the association between them has been mildly studied. Our objective was to evaluate the association between serum lactate admission levels, bowel necrosis extension, and mortality. Additionally, we performed a mortality characterization. Materials and Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study was designed. We reviewed patients' clinical records with acute mesenteric ischemia that attended a hospital between 2012 and 2018. We compared serum lactate admission levels with bowel necrosis length and mortality. A receiver operating characteristic curve was performed on the last association. As post hoc analysis, a classification and regression tree on mortality was fitted.
Although tracheostomy is a common technique in Intensive Care Units (ICU), its complications can be frequent (between 5% to 40%). Inadequate fixation could favor decannulation, as well as incorrect alignment of the tracheostomy with respect to the tracheal axis could favor the appearance of tissue alterations such as ulcers, bleeding or fistulas, as well as obstruction of the ventilatory obstruction. Having a device that is effective in fixation and alignment could help in reducing tracheostomy complications, so this study aims to evaluate the effect and safety of a fixation device for tracheostomy through a randomized clinical trial.
The current understanding of dental caries has not been completely transferred into the clinical practice to control caries lesion progression (severity / activity) and the individual risk of caries. This situation led to the development of the CariesCare International CCI Caries Management System (2018), derived from ICCMS™- International Caries Classification and Management System (2012) and the ICDAS - International Caries Detection and Assessment System (2002) in a consensus among more than 45 cariologists, epidemiologists, public health professionals, researchers and cliniciansfrom all over the world. The consensus aimed to guide dentists and dental teams in clinical practice, facilitating the control of the caries process and the maintenance of oral health in their patients. The general lack of implementation of an updated management of dental caries is evident in Colombia, in the survey of 1094 clinicians, teachers and students, failures were reported to adopt related behaviours, motivation barriers (remuneration), opportunity (in terms of relevance, physical/infrastructure resources, time) and training. As an additional barrier, the Colombian Chapter of the Alliance for a Cavity-Free Future (ACFF), evidences the absence of a facilitating Oral Health Record (OHR), this situation lead to stablish a new Alliance between the Ministry of Health and Social Protection (MSPS) and the AFLC to develop an inter-institutional consensus at the national level, of a clinical history for diagnosis and management of lesions and caries risk. Finally, 55 institutions participated in this consensus, and we have just finished a pilot test of the forms to submit a proposal for national standardization from the MSPS. The aim of this multicentre case series is to assess after 3, 6 and 12 months in children oral health outcomes, caregivers' satisfaction and in dentists' process outcomes, after the implementation of the CCI system adapted for the COVID-19 era -non-aerosol generating procedures. Oral health outcomes will be evaluated in terms of: - Effectiveness of CCI to control bacterial plaque, caries progression and caries risk, and to achieve behavioural change in oral health in children. - Acceptance of CCI caries management adapted for COVID-19 through Treatment Evaluation Interventory in dentists, and in children/parents through satisfaction questionnaire. - Costs of CCI adapted for caries management, in economic terms, number and appointment time.
