There are about 21071 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Spain. 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.
To improve the health and quality of life of breast cancer (BC) patients, researchers are focusing on prehabilitation strategies like physical exercise, preparing patients both mentally and physically for clinical and surgical procedures, potentially reducing complications. Physical exercise is also recognized as pivotal in optimizing chemotherapy. It can improve blood flow and oxygen supply in the microenvironment of the tumor (MT), potentially enhancing chemotherapy effectiveness. Although previous research has shown the benefits of preoperative exercise combined with chemotherapy in various cancer types, including BC, further investigation is needed into the exact effects of prehabilitation exercise (PE) on MT physiology. This study aims to provide valuable insights into the potential benefits of PE for BC patients and its impact on the tumor microenvironment. The hypothesis is that PE in BC patients will improve their quality of life, reduce fatigue, increase muscle mass, decrease fat mass, and enhance physical fitness. Additionally, beneficial acute hemodynamic changes, particularly increased blood flow following PE sessions, and hemodynamic adaptations involving higher levels of oxygenated hemoglobin, increased blood flow, greater oxygen saturation, and a higher metabolic rate of oxygen, are expected. The study will include 76 participants aged 18-65 years, meeting specific criteria such as a diagnosis of hormone receptor-positive BC, no medical contraindications for exercise, no metastatic cancer, and no structured exercise in the last six months. These participants will be randomly assigned to a PE group or a control group. The study will consist of three phases: Phase 1 involves pre-intervention assessments, Phase 2 includes a 4-week PE intervention with three weekly sessions, and Phase 3 encompasses post-intervention and post-surgery assessments. The 4-week PE intervention in Phase 2 will include strength and aerobic training. Quality of life and fatigue assessments will use questionnaires, and measurements will be made for fat mass, lean mass, bone density, and cardiorespiratory fitness. Strength measurements will be taken, and shoulder mobility will be evaluated. Hemodynamics of the MT will be assessed using a hybrid device combining Near-Infrared Spectroscopy and Diffuse Correlation Spectroscopy with ultrasound.
This is the first-in-human trial with BYON4413 to evaluate safety, PK, immunogenicity, and anti-leukemia activity of BYON4413 in patients with AML or MDS.
The glycemic index is the ability of carbohydrates in foods to induce increases in blood glucose levels after consuming them. Based on the capacity for increasing blood glucose levels, foods can be classified as having a low, medium, or high glycemic index. This property is of interest in health and nutrition because it allows estimating the impact the food will have on postprandial glycemia, which may able better food selection in situations where adequate glycemic control is required, such as in individuals diagnosed with Diabetes Mellitus. The objective of this study is to determine the glycemic index of 9 formulations of complete oral nutrition supplements and classify them based on their glycemic response.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate efficacy and safety of Dato-DXd in combination with rilvegostomig or rilvegostomig monotherapy compared with pembrolizumab monotherapy as a first line therapy in participants with locally advanced or metastatic non-squamous NSCLC with high PD-L1 expression (TC ≥ 50%) and without actionable genomic alterations.
Prospective, comparative, randomized, double-blind study to evaluate the outcomes of trochanteric nailing in unstable hip fractures with and without a distal interlocking screw.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness and safety of golcadomide in combination with rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP) chemotherapy vs placebo in combination with R-CHOP chemotherapy in participants with previously untreated high-risk large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL).
The overall aim of this observational study is to generate real-world evidence on the pre- and post-diagnosis disease journeys, including baseline characteristics, treatment patterns and selected clinical, economic, and humanistic outcomes (for example Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL), Neuropathy impairment score, activities of daily living (ADL) assessments) in patients with ATTR amyloidosis, and to better understand how the disease is presented.
The use of the dry needling technique has become widespread in recent years for the treatment of musculoskeletal pain. Although dry needling has been shown to be effective in the treatment of shoulder pain, elbow pain, headache, etc., we do not yet have a clear understanding of the mechanisms of action that justify its beneficial effects. In this study, we propose to analyse the biochemical markers of pain generated by the application of a dry needling technique on the lumbar musculature in patients with mechanical lumbar pain of non-specific origin. The aim of this study will be to evaluate the effects of dry needling technique on the plasmatic concentration of biochemical markers.Furthermore, the test subjects will be randomly distributed into two groups. An experimental group where the subjects will receive a real dry needling technique. Another group will be treated with a sham technique.
The purpose of this study is to provide data showing if there are any effects of GSK3036656 on a combined oral contraceptive containing Ethinyl Estradiol (EE) and Levonorgestrel (LNG), which will help inform future studies on suitable contraceptive measures to be used.
The objective is to compare a reduced stent strategy based on drug-coated balloon (DCB) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with conventional drug-eluting stent (DES) coronary revascularization in patients presenting with ST-segment myocardial infarction (STEMI). Randomization will be performed after successful culprit-lesion guidewire crossing and flow restoration. Random allocation in a 1:1 fashion to one of the following strategies: - Study group: reduced stent PCI strategy (DCB-based) - Control group: conventional PCI strategy (DES-based).
