There are about 5012 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Mexico. 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.
Prediabetes is part of the natural history of type 2 diabetes mellitus, which is one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality in Mexico. It is known that overweight and obesity are the main risk factors for producing insulin resistance and this in turn leads to prediabetes-diabetes mellitus 2, acting alone or together, excess adipose tissue, mainly visceral, and Prediabetes increase cardiovascular risk before hyperglycemia occurs in the diagnostic criteria for diabetes. Effective strategies have been developed focused on changing lifestyle habits (changes in dietary patterns and increased physical activity) to promote weight loss in populations with and without glucose alterations present, but with limitations in the scope for the size of the affected population. There is a small number of studies developed for this purpose, focused on a multidisciplinary intervention in low- and middle-income countries. The prediabetes care program (PreCPro) is a care initiative developed by the primary care public health services of the Government of Mexico City (CDMX) to promote weight reduction and reduction of hyperglycemia through a intervention composed of an interdisciplinary care team, centered on the patient with a focus on promoting change in people's behavior to adopt healthy eating and physical activity habits. The target population of the prediabetes care program (PreCPro) is made up of patients with prediabetes, without advanced diseases, who receive regular care in public primary care services in Mexico City.
This is a comparative, double-blind, randomized controlled clinical trial for people with Amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment. The investigators will compare the effects of two non-invasive neuromodulation techniques (Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation and Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation) combined with cognitive stimulation. These non-invasive neuromodulating techniques will be applied as a treatment alternative to be able to compare non-invasive techniques with cognitive stimulation CS alone, taking into account clinical and neuropsychological evaluations in addition to: 1) the known clinical risk factors (physical activity, comorbidities treatment, etc.) that allow the investigators to characterize the participants; 2) characterize the participants with genetic biomarkers using the APOE4, CR1, COMT, TREM2 and ABCA7 genotype; 3) document the biological effects related to neurogenesis from olfactory epithelial neural progenitor cells and solubles factors of serum; 4) use hippocampal volume, cortical thickness of the medial temporal cortex and parietal cortex by means of structural magnetic resonance imaging and the default mode network by means of functional magnetic resonance imaging at rest as a biomarker of response to treatment and 5) associate the response to treatment with changes in Motor Evoked Potential (MEP) amplitude and latency in order to generate a response-to-treatment biomarker with neuromodulators in Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and changes in electroencephalogram.
MARLIN is a stratified, multi-arm, multi-stage factorial randomised platform trial aiming to reduce the incidence of post-operative surgical site infection (SSI).
The purpose of this multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled and double-blind study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of subcutaneous anifrolumab compared with placebo on the overall disease activity in participants with moderate to severe Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathies (IIM) [polymyositis (PM) or dermatomyositis (DM)] while receiving standard of care (SoC) treatment.
To evaluate the effect of using a mathematical model developed through pre- and post-surgical hemoglobins to predict the volume to aspirate in patients undergoing primary body liposuction.
Researchers are looking for a better way to treat people who have advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with specific genetic changes called human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) mutations. Advanced NSCLC is a group of lung cancers that have spread to nearby tissues or to other parts of the body or that are unlikely to be cured or controlled with currently available treatments. HER2 is a protein that helps cells to grow and divide. A damage (also called mutation) to the building plans (genes) for this protein in cancer cells leads to a production of abnormal HER2 and therefore abnormal cell growth and division. The study treatment, BAY 2927088, is expected to block the mutated HER2 protein which may stop the spread of NSCLC. The main purpose of this study is to learn how well BAY 2927088 works and how safe it is compared with standard treatment, in participants who have advanced NSCLC with specific genetic changes called HER2 mutations. The study participants will receive one of the study treatments: - BAY 2927088 twice every day as a tablet by mouth, or - Standard treatment in cycles of 21 days via infusion ("drip") into the vein. The treatment will continue for as long as participants benefit from it without any severe side effects or until they or their doctor decide to stop the treatment. During the study, the doctors and their study team will: - take imaging scans, including CT, PET, MRI, and X-rays, of different parts of the body to study the spread of cancer - check the overall health of the participants by performing tests such as blood and urine tests, and checking - heart health using an electrocardiogram (ECG) - perform pregnancy tests for women - ask the participants questions about how they are feeling and what adverse events they are having. An adverse event is any medical problem that a participant has during a study. Doctors keep track of all adverse events, irrespective if they think it is related or not to the study treatment.
This is a randomised, double-blind, parallel group, placebo-controlled Phase IIa study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of AZD7798 in participants with moderate to severe Crohn's disease.
To determine diet-health associations, researchers rely on information obtained from dietary instruments, such as the 24-hour recall (R24H), food frequency questionnaires (FFQ) and food diaries, in clinical studies. However, it is widely recognized that the information provided by the different instruments is biased by different factors including recall errors and respondent burden. The impact of the variability produced by this bias decreases the robustness of diet-health associations which results in the creation of less efficient standards and recommendations for our population. To address this, the discovery of biomarkers of food intake (BFIs) is an objective tool that indicates exposure to specific foods or various dietary patterns. BFIs allow the calibration of dietary information to obtain the real consumption of the individual and thus clarify the relationship between different pathologies of interest and the intake of different foods. BIAMEX will initially focus on the discovery of BFIs of nopal, corn tortilla, mango, avocado, guava and amaranth. For this purpose, a controlled crossover intervention study is being carried out with the 6 foods to be investigated where 24h urine and plasma samples are being collected. Subsequently, the samples collected will be analyzed by mass spectrometry.
The study is designed to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of GSK1070806 in participants with moderate-to severe atopic dermatitis, who have completed phase 2b parent GSK atopic dermatitis (AtD) study (NCT05999799).
The involvement of the kidneys in patients infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus at the outset of the pandemic was associated with high mortality rates worldwide. This was in part due to the generation of an inflammatory process and exacerbated oxidative stress. The present study was initiated to investigate the relationship between morphofunctional changes and gene expression in the kidney tissue of deceased Mexican patients prior to the initiation of vaccination. The investigator designed a single-center, prospective, cohort study, to analyze and relate the morphofunctional changes and gene expression of inflammatory and oxidative stress molecules in the kidney tissue of men who died from severe COVID-19. A total of 40 percutaneous renal biopsies from deceased patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection were included in the study and divided into two a groups. One group was preserved in trizol to obtain RNA and total protein, while the remaining sample was fixed in formalin to be examined by staining with hematoxylin and eosin. The histopathological analysis was conducted by an experienced nephropathologist. The expression of molecules was evaluated by real-time PCR (nphs2, slc9a1, cx3cl1, havcr1, slc22a17, sod2, egf, timp2, hmox1, fabp1, and so forth). The following biomarkers were analyzed: IL-6, Arg-1, DPP4, GSTT1, GGT1, OCL, CYP3A4, and CL-8. Additionally, Western blot analysis was conducted on claudins-5, occludin, HSP70, NRF-2, SOD2, NQO1, γ-GCL, and RAGE. The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was calculated using the CKD-EPI (2021) equation, with the subjects divided into two groups based on their eGFR: >60 or <60 ml/min/1.73 m². The statistical analysis was conducted using the Stata program and GraphPad Prism software.
