There are about 189 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Ecuador. 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 observational study is to ascertain the degree of blood pressure control in the early-morning hours after 8 weeks of treatment with Telmisartan/Telmisartan+Hydrochlorothiazide and during 44 weeks of follow-up, in patients with hypertension using home blood pressure measurements.
This 2 stage study will compare the pharmacokinetics and safety profile of subcutaneous and intravenous rituximab in participants with follicular lymphoma. In the first stage, participants who have achieved at least a partial response after induction treatment with intravenous rituximab will be randomized to one of 3 treatment cohorts, to receive rituximab 375 milligram per square meter (mg/m^2) intravenously, 375 mg/m^2 subcutaneously or 625 mg/m^2 subcutaneously, and pharmacokinetics evaluated on an ongoing basis. Upon selection of the subcutaneous dose (800 mg/m^2) which results in rituximab trough plasma concentration (C trough) values comparable to those achieved with the intravenous formulation, participants in the second stage of the study will be randomized to receive either the subcutaneous or intravenous formulation to demonstrate comparability of the C trough levels with both routes of administration. Maintenance therapy will continue every 2 or 3 months with the subcutaneous formulation.
This study was specifically designed to provide additional information on the mechanism of action of direct renin inhibition postulating the higher-level RAS cascade inhibition. The purpose of this study was to compare the prolonged efficacy and safety of aliskiren to that of telmisartan in mild to moderate hypertensive patients in the 24 hrs Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring setting after a one week treatment withdrawal.
The trial will be performed to evaluate if BIBF 1120 in combination with standard pemetrexed therapy is more effective than placebo (inactive capsule) plus standard pemetrexed therapy in patients with stage IIIB, IV or recurrent NSCLC. Safety information about BIBF1120/pemetrexed will be obtained.
The purpose of this study is to compare the therapeutic effects of acupuncture using traditional acupoints and Ashi points with myofascial trigger points superficial dry needling and acupressure, followed by postisometric stretching of the appropriate muscles, in the treatment of patients with chronic mechanical low back pain.
This single arm, open-label study will assess the safety and efficacy with regar d to reduction of signs and symptoms of treatment with tocilizumab in combinatio n with methotrexate, in patients with moderate to severe active rheumatoid arthr itis. Patients will receive tocilizumab 8mg/kg iv, every 4 weeks and methotrexat e 10-25mg weekly. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months, and th e target sample size is <500 individuals.
Amonafide is a DNA intercalating agent and inhibitor of topoisomerase II that has been extensively studied in patients with malignant solid tumors. Amonafide has also been studied in patients with AML. The purpose of this study is to assess the relative efficacy and safety of amonafide in combination with cytarabine compared to daunorubicin with cytarabine in subjects with documented secondary AML.
To compare the antihypertensive efficacy of the combination irbesartan/hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) using either a usual or an active elective titration regimen. The main efficacy criteria will be the change in mean Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP), measured at doctor's office with an automatic device, after a 10-week treatment period in hypertensive patients insufficiently controlled by monotherapy.
This study will compare the efficacy and safety of once daily dosing of aliskiren monotherapy to once daily dosing of aliskiren and hydrochlorothiazide combination therapy in patients with Stage II hypertension over a period of 12 weeks.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether repeated use of 0.25% miconazole nitrate ointment in newborns and infants with a yeast infection in the diaper area causes the yeast to become resistant to the drug.
