There are about 101 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Honduras. 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 primary objectives of the study were: - To assess the safety profile of each dose of the study product after each and any administration in all infants and toddlers regardless of baseline serostatus. - To characterize the Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) A serum neutralizing antibody responses to the study product in each vaccine group after vaccination in RSV-naïve participants. The secondary objectives of the study were: - To quantify the amount of vaccine virus shed by each participant by baseline serostatus. - To determine the proportion of vaccinated infants and toddlers in each vaccine group infected with the vaccine virus at D56 (56 days after vaccination 1) for Cohorts 1, 2, 3 and 4, and at Day 84 (28 days after vaccination 2) for Cohorts 2 and 4 by baseline serostatus. - To characterize the RSV A serum neutralizing antibody responses to the study product in each vaccine group after vaccination in RSV-experienced participants. - To characterize serum RSV anti-F immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody responses to the study product in each vaccine group after vaccination by baseline serostatus. - To characterize serum RSV antibody responses (RSV A-neutralizing and anti-RSV F IgG) to the study product in each vaccine group after the RSV surveillance season or at least 5 months after the last vaccine administration by baseline serostatus.

The purpose of this randomized controlled trial is to determine the effect of two behavioral interventions: brief cognitive-behavioral therapy and crisis intervention therapy through telepsychiatry, over the level of perceived stress, anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress symptoms during the COVID-19 pandemic in medical residents and medical staff at three hospitals in two cities of Honduras.
Potential patients will be recruited at participating sites based on routine care with clinical indications for upper endoscopy. Following informed consent, patients will undergo their scheduled endoscopy with standard forceps biopsies along with the transepithelial brush samples. All samples, biopsy and brush samples, will be sent for pathology analysis, per standard clinical practice.
There are four species of intestinal worms collectively known as soil-transmitted helminthiasis (STH): Ancylostoma duodenale and Necator americanus (hookworms), Ascaris lumbricoides (roundworms), and Trichuris trichiura (whipworms). These parasites affect over two billion people and contribute to significant morbidity and disability, especially in high risk groups, for example children, agricultural workers and pregnant women. In children, STH are associated with impaired nutritional status evidenced by stunting, thinness and underweight. As is the case in most Latin America, STH are a public health problem in Honduras. The World Health Organization (WHO) informs that more than 2.5 million children (under 15 years of age) in the country are at risk of infection. To control these infections Honduras has established a national deworming program that operates since 2001 but despite these efforts, the prevalence of STH infections remains unacceptably high. This is especially true in rural communities where prevalence can be as high as 70% of the children population. Ivermectin (IVM) in combination with albendazole (ALB) has demonstrated the capacity to improve efficacy compared to any of these drugs in monotherapy; the efficacy is however, still inadequate in terms of cure rate, although egg reduction rates are significant. The purpose of the current trial is to assess the safety and efficacy of 3 experimental regimens for the treatment of infections by Trichuris trichiura in children in comparison with the current standard of practice in Mass Drug Administration (MDA) campaigns. The experimental regimens will explore the effect of multiple day regimens and high dose ivermectin. Treatment arms: - Group 1: single dose of ALB 400 mg. (active control arm). N:39 - Group 2: single dose ALB 400mg + IVM 600µg/Kg. N: 57 - Group 3: daily dose ALB 400mg for 3 consecutive days. N:24 - Group 4: daily dose ALB 400mg + IVM 600µg for 3 consecutive days. N:57 Total Study Population: 177
This study investigates nutritional status, at predefined points in therapy, and the association with outcomes in children and adolescents undergoing treatment for cancer in institutions under Asociación de Hemato-Oncología Pediátrica de Centro América (AHOPCA) consortium in Central America. The aim of the study is to examine the effects of the newly-established nutritional program aimed at improving the delivery of nutritional care and outcomes in children undergoing treatment for cancer in Central America.
This phase 3 clinical study is a randomized, observer-blind, multicenter study of QIVc versus a non-influenza vaccine in subjects 6 months though 47 months of age. The purpose of this study is to evaluate efficacy of QIVc in the prevention of Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) confirmed influenza A or B disease in children 6 through 47 months of age, compared to a non-influenza vaccine.
Pulmonary Disorders are often categorized as Obstructive or Restrictive disorders. This study will establish two channels of investigation, one group within each type of pulmonary dysfunction. State-of-the-Art Objective analytics will be employed to track patients from baseline and 6 month intervals for up to one year. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a lung-related disorder that is characterized by long-term, often progressive state of poor airflow. Primary symptoms include low oxygen tension, shortness of breath, productive cough, and broncho-pulmonary inflammation and interference with oxygen-carbon dioxide exchange. COPD is generally considered those who are able to better inspire air than to expel. Restrictive lung dysfunctions are generally considered those who are unable to achieve full inspiration function. Both can create some of the same symptoms, low Oxygen exchange, activity intolerance of exertion, shortness of breath (SOB), Pulmonary Hypertension, Loss of lung structure, Pneumothorax (in emphysema), may mandate supplemental Oxygen therapy, failure of airway mucus management (chronic bronchitis, bronchiectasis, etc), and other failure of lung function issues. Restrictive lung disorders represent a group of pulmonary function losses which are due to acquired fibrosis, congenital fibrotic disorders, functional airway damage (scarring), vascular abnormalities in arterial/venous supply, Air pollution and tobacco smoking, chemical inhalation damage, etc. are felt to be common contributor of these issues. Diagnostic testing is based on poor airflow measured by lung function studies and whose symptoms do not improve much with anti-asthma bronchodilators, steroids, and a variety of combination of topical medications. Study is an interventional study to document the safety and efficacy of use of cSVF in chronic broncho-pulmonary disease within both groups.
This study will evaluate whether sending educational and supportive mobile phone text messages to mothers of infants, from babies' day of birth until 6 months of age, increases the rate of exclusive breastfeeding in Roatan, Honduras.
Purpose of study is to determine safety and efficacy of use of autologous Adipose-Derived cellular Stromal Vascular Fraction (AD-cSVF) suspended in Normal Saline and delivered via intravascular system of quality of life and alteration of documented Advanced Muscular Sclerosis (MS). It is believed that the heterogeneous cell population which includes multipotent stem/stromal cells plus non-multipotent cellular elements are capable of immune modulation/inflammatory modulation properties. Exam of disease progression and quality of life changes will be evaluated by sophisticated mathematical non-biased MRI analysis.
