There are about 20734 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.
Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS) are heterogeneous clonal diseases characterized by difficult diagnosis, complex prognostic stratification and unsatisfactory treatment. Based on that, UMBRELLA SUMMA aims to provide better clinical management and personalized medicine to MDS patients in Spain through improving diagnosis (1), prognosis (2 and 3), and treatment (2), and facilitating future investigations (4) of the disease. More concretely, we propose: 1. The application of new technologies such as Optical Genome Mapping (OGM) in the diagnosis of those MDS cases whose cytogenetic alterations cannot be identify by other methods, as well as the implementation of this technology using peripheral blood avoiding more invasive methods for patients. 2. To provide all Spanish Group of MDS (GESMD) members who require it with the newly prognostic stratification of their patients (IPSS-M) by making Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) accessible for all of them. 3. Validate and improve a new prognostic system (AIPSS-MDS) previously developed within the GESMD, thanks to artificial intelligence, one of the tools with the most projection in the field of medicine currently. 4. To build and register ISCIII collections of cells, genetic material and/or plasma from all prospective MDS patients. On the other hand, the dynamics of coexisting mutations in a specific context of chromosomal abnormalities could be defining the clinical fate of each patient. Based on that, the IBSAL team recently proposed three models of MDS evolution based on NGS data from three different cytogenetic subgroups: normal karyotype, trisomy 8 and 5q deletion. The IBSAL proposal aims to deepen into the pathophysiological mechanisms of MDS evolution in these three models through in vitro and in vivo functional studies and single-cell multiomics approaches.
The current observational study aims to perform the sentinel lymph node in breast cancer in the usual way with technetium 99 and add a second tracer, indocyanine green. The objective is to evaluate the detection rate of the lymph node with indocyanine green compared to the usual technique.
Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is the standard procedure to stage the axilla in clinically node-negative invasive breast cancer (IBC) patients undergoing upfront surgery. The ACOSOG-Z0011 and the AMAROS trial demonstrated that SLNB with or without radiotherapy provided equivalent local control and survival to axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) in early-stage breast cancer patients with 1 or 2 positive SLNs. However, the ACOSOG-Z0011 trial did not included patients treated with mastectomy, and the AMAROS trial only included 17% of mastectomy patients. We conduct an observational cohort study of early stage breast cancer patients receiving upfront mastectomy with 1 or 2 macrometastases after SLNB. We aim to demonstrate a 5-year disease-free survival of not less than 80% when ALND is omitted and replaced by axillary radiotherapy, and determine the axillary recurrence rate.
The goal of this clinical trial is to to evaluate the safety and efficacy of TranspoCART19 in patients with relapsed/refractory B-lymphoma. The main questions it aims to answer are: Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) Response rates Participants will be treated with the investigational medicinal product and will be followed for 36 months.
Extraction socket preservation is defined as alveolar ridge preservation within the bone envelope remaining after tooth extraction, meanwhile ridge augmentation is defined as increasing the volume of alveolar ridge beyond the bony envelope at the time of tooth extraction. It is recommended to use in cases where extraction socket anatomy is intact. In contrast definition "extraction socket augmentation" defines alveolar ridge restoration when bony walls of the socket are partly or completely lost. In the case of severe loss (> 50%) of the buccal bone plate, preservation of hard tissue with a prolonged healing time before implant placement has been suggested. The null hypothesis of this experimental work states that: (i) the two different bone graft materials gained the same amount of bone following horizontal ridge augmentation procedure; (i) the two different bone graft materials exhibit similar histological and histomorphometric results Therefore, the main purpose of the current study is to compare two different biomaterials using guided bone regeneration procedures in the ridge preservation/ augmentation (hard-tissue preservation).
Background: The study aims to address the challenge of accurately identifying patients with ovarian cancer who would benefit from poly-ADP ribose inhibitors (PARPi) as first-line maintenance therapy. While BRCA1/2-mutated epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) patients have shown significant benefits from PARPi treatment, the efficacy in homologous recombination deficient (HRD) patients remains inconclusive. Current assays used to estimate HR status do not effectively differentiate between patients who benefit most from PARPi and those who do not, making it inefficient to treat all patients. There is a need for a more accurate HR status testing method to optimize PARPi benefit. This study aims to assess the performance of the VHIO-CARD-300 test in determining HR status compared to SOPHiA DDM™ Dx HRD Solution. Summary: The study is a prospective, non-randomized trial designed to evaluate the concordance of the VHIO-CARD-300 test in establishing HR status compared to SOPHiA DDM™ Dx HRD Solution. Additionally, it aims to assess the association between HRD status determined by the VHIO-CARD-300 test and treatment efficacy. Patients with advanced FIGO stage III-IV high grade serous or endometrioid ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritoneal cancer will be invited to participate. Those eligible will undergo testing with both VHIO-CARD-300 and SOPHiA DDM™ Dx HRD Solution. Patients classified as HRD positive will receive olaparib in combination with bevacizumab, while others will receive bevacizumab alone. Treatment will be administered according to approved doses, with follow-up evaluations conducted until RECIST progression.
Cancer is a disease that, despite having a higher cure rate, is currently on the rise, with an increase in the number of diagnoses. For the treatment of these patients a venous access is required, which in the first treatments is of peripheral insertion. These peripheral venous catheter in combination with the highly aggressive treatments for the veins are the cause of the appearance of chemical phlebitis. Phlebitis is an inflammation caused by a combination of factors, whether chemical, perfusion of irritating medication; mechanical, due to the puncture site, type and fixation of the catheter and infectious, caused by the colonization of pathogenic agents whose origin is the skin and that migrate inward. Phlebitis involves an injury to the wall of the vein, and consequently, the patient will also be at risk of thrombus formation, which in turn leads to thrombophlebitis, deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism. The existence of phlebitis involves intense and constant pain, with increased sensitivity and a sensation of heat and swelling. With the use of topical sesame oil, and thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties, the investigators intend to study whether it is effective in preventing the appearance of phlebitis.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the clinical effectiveness and safety of treatment of prostate cancer in patients who have received a focal HIFU treatment using the Focal One medical device.
The incidence of cognitive and neuromotor impairment caused by strokes has become a growing challenge. The patient's journey to recovery in the healthcare system involves multiple phases, spanning from initial hospitalization to in-patient and out-patient rehabilitation, finally leading to the patient's return to home. The access to stroke units and rehabilitation varies within Europe. Unfortunately, not everyone has access to rehabilitation programs, and the benefits derived from these programs often decline after hospital discharge. Currently, the support of the patient is organized in a rather fragmented way, and informal care sometimes places a severe burden requiring dedicated support in the patient's social environment. The PHRASE project proposes to deploy rehabilitation technology such as the Rehabilitation Gaming System (RGS) to instil and support a virtuous cycle of stroke patients' recovery in the at-home setting. RGS is an effective advanced digital tool for rehabilitation programs that uses Augmented Reality (AR)- and Virtual Reality (VR)-based gamified training grounded on neuroscientific principles, that has been shown to promote cognitive and motor recovery after a stroke at the clinic and home. There are many dedicated cognitive therapies, but most rehabilitation outcomes are mostly limited to the task trained and do not extend to day-to-day function or remain unconvincing. Based on recent literature, the PHRASE RGS-based system can provide an effective tool to address cognitive impairment using VR-based interventions. In a previous study, the neuropsychological test battery was compiled by the neuropsychologist and covered four cognitive domains: 1. basic attention, 2. memory (short-term memory), 3. visuospatial memory, and 4. executive function. All these functions were tested using VR-based tasks. The conclusion of this study confirms the possibility of addressing cognitive impairment effectively using VR-based interventions when properly mapped with clinical scales. The validation of the PHRASE system with post-stroke patients is needed to strengthen its usefulness and effectiveness for cognitive rehabilitation at home. For this, a feasibility study will be conducted to measure its usability, adherence, acceptance, and the user's experience. The investigators will also explore the effectiveness of the PHRASE system in improving cognitive function (attention, memory, executive function) after stroke. Participants: stroke patients at different time points after stroke (acute, subacute, and chronic), aged over 18 years. The participants will integrate the PHRASE technology into their daily routines in parallel to their regular neurorehabilitation treatment for 6 weeks.
Introduction and objectives: Left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP), is a novel modality of physiologic pacing that requires an adequate assessment of the endocardium as well as the body-surface electrocardiographic signals for a successful pacing-lead implantation. The objective of the study consist of assessing if LBBAP criteria, specifically septal and left bundle branch pacing (LBBP) criteria, can be satisfactory measured using the signals resulting from different cardiac pacing analyzers (PSAs) by comparing them to the 'conventional' signals obtained from multichannel polygraph systems (MPSs) during the implantation procedure. Methods: Comparative observational, prospective, multicenter study between the signals obtained by PSA vs MPS of consecutive patients who underwent a LBBAP strategy as first intention.
