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.
This study aims to describe the quality of life in patients submitted to surgical excision of the adjuvants and injured surrounding tissue. For this purpose, the EuroQol questionnaire (EQ-5d) facilitates to obtain values of health in the physical, psychological, and social dimensions. It is a standardized non-disease specific instrument to describe and value the health-related quality of life. Although there are only five domains, it has been found to cover the most critical dimensions of quality of life.
In the SARS-CoV2 pandemic, imaging studies proved its diagnostic utility to determine the severity of lung involvement. Computed tomography (CT) is a state-of-the-art study proven to be a highly sensitive diagnostic test complemented by RT-PCR testing to determine the disease and the degree of severity. In March 2020, the Dutch Society of Radiology developed a standardized assessment scheme for COVID-19 lung disease, called CO-RADS. This system proposes a level of suspicion of pulmonary involvement of COVID-19, based on the simple chest tomography findings. The level of suspicion ranges from very low (CO-RADS 1) to very high (CO-RADS 5), with two additional categories involving a technically deficient study (CO-RADS 0) and a positive RT-PCR test for SARS -CoV-2 known before tomography (CO-RADS 6). For its part, acute respiratory damage secondary to SARS-COV2 pneumonia causes acute respiratory distress syndrome, which warrants immediate medical attention. During the evaluation and triage of patients with suspected or confirmed SARS-COV2 infection, it is a challenge for health personnel given that the severity and clinical presentation is highly variable. The patient's risk stratification is carried out using previously established and validated risk scales and is a fundamental tool for making clinical decisions. Some of the risk indices and scales have been developed and used in the pandemic epicenters, such as China and Europe. Useful for the clinician is the national early warning scale (NEWS 2), severe disease risk assessment score (COVID-GRAM), the rapid severity index for COVID-19 (qCSI), evaluation score of Modified sequential organ failure (mSOFA), the sepsis-induced coagulopathy score (SIC), the ROX index as a predictor of success to the high-flow nasal cannula. The evaluation of the risk of thrombotic complications such as the Padua risk, of cardiac complications such as QT segment prolongation, through the Tisdale risk score. Risk stratification is essential in the current COVID-19 pandemic situation; upon admission, the clinician will discern if the patient requires in-hospital medical treatment, the risk of severe disease, and progression to assisted mechanical ventilation. This work aims to establish whether the severity of the findings identified by cardiac tomography upon admission and the risk established by the different established prognostic indices.
The objectives of this study are to evaluate the efficacy and safety of sotatercept (MK-7962) treatment (plus background pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) therapy) versus placebo (plus background PAH therapy) at 24 weeks in adults with PAH. The primary hypothesis of the study is that the participants receiving sotatercept will have improved 6-minute walk distance (6MWD) at 24 weeks compared to participants receiving placebo.
This study aims to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of molnupiravir (MK-4482) compared to placebo. The primary hypothesis is that molnupiravir is superior to placebo as assessed by the percentage of participants who are hospitalized and/or die through Day 29

Thirteen healthy subjects (5 males; 8 females) ages 25-50 years, with BMI (body mass index): <25 kg/m2 completed the study. The participants were selected randomly, either the control group (n= 7) or honey group (n= 6). Subjects of honey group consumed 25 g of honey each day for 4 weeks.
Introduction: SARS-CoV2 infection produces severe pneumonia with pulmonary alveolar collapse. There is no specific treatment to date. In experimental models and humans with septic shock, there is a high production of nitric oxide (NO) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) and can cause multiple organ failure. The administration of antioxidants such as n-acetylcysteine (NAC), vitamin C, melatonin, and vitamin E participate in increasing the intracellular content of GSH, ROS sequestration, protection of the lipids of cell membranes, cytosol proteins, nuclear DNA, mitochondrial and decrease LPO. Justification: as there is no specific antiviral therapy, the therapeutic options are limited, complications and mortality are high; It is intended to evaluate the effect of antioxidants on the storm outcome of the dysregulation of oxidative stress. Hypothesis: It is postulated that adjuvant therapy with antioxidants and Pentoxifylline reduces the use of ventilators in patients with or without septic shock secondary to severe SARS-COV2 pneumonia as decreases lipoperoxidation, and corrects dysregulation of oxidative stress by increasing the antioxidant capacity. Objectives: To evaluate whether it is possible to avoid intubation or decrease assisted mechanical ventilation days, improve oxidative stress dysregulation in patients with SARS-COV2 infection with severe pneumonia with or without septic shock. Methodology: Quasi-experimental, open analytical, prospective, and longitudinal study (before-after). In patients over 18 years of age who are admitted to the CITIBANAMEX Center with or without septic shock secondary to severe SARS-COV2 pneumonia. There will be two groups: 1) patients without septic shock and 2) patients with septic shock secondary to severe pneumonia due to SARS-COV2. A single antioxidant will be applied following the clinical decision tree (NAC, Vit C, Vit E, melatonin) more Pentoxifylline orally or by orogastric tube for a total of 5 days from the start of the protocol. APACHE II will calculate the risk, SOFA, MEXSOFA, measurements of IL-8, vitamin C, NO3 / NO2, LOP, total antioxidant capacity will be carried out at baseline and 48 hours. SOFA will be calculated for seven days, in addition to days of hospitalization, days of mechanical ventilation. It was evaluated 28 days after discharge by telephone.
Cancer patients are considered vulnerable to COVID-19 infection. During the pandemic, cancer patients may need to continue their regular treatment of chemotherapy and / or radiotherapy and therefore must visit a hospital unit. As such, they may be at risk for SARS-CoV-2 infection by means of close contact to other patients and health care workers. Hospitals may implement policies to identify symptomatic subjects and limit their access to the chemotherapy / radiotherapy unit. However, asymptomatic COVID-19 positive patients may escape these filters and potentially be contagious to other patients and their health-related workers that care for other several patients. Therefore, there is a real risk of an outbreak that affects a particularly fragile patient population. Patients and their doctors need to know what is the risk associated to visiting a chemotherapy unit in order to decide if the risk outweighs the benefits of cancer treatment in their particular case. To date, this risk is unknown. The study will test patients and health care workers for COVID-19 infection during the peak of the pandemic in a chemotherapy unit in Mexico in order to determine this risk.
This study is open to adults with borderline personality disorder. The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called BI 1358894 helps to reduce symptoms in people with borderline personality disorder. Four different doses of BI 1358894 are tested in the study. Participants are put into 5 groups by chance. Participants in 4 of the 5 groups take different doses of BI 1358894. Participants in the fifth group take placebo. Participants take BI 1358894 and placebo as tablets once a day. Placebo tablets look like BI 1358894 tablets but do not contain any medicine. Participants are in the study for about 5 months. During this time, they visit the study site about 12 times and get about 6 phone calls. At the visits, doctors ask participants about their symptoms. The results between the BI 1358894 groups and the placebo group are then compared. The doctors also regularly check the general health of the participants.
Retrospective, observational study, comparing treatments of acute promyelocytic leukemia in different centers in México. There is no sufficient information about acute promyelocytic leukemia in America Latina, particularly in Mexico. For these reason the investigators started a study adding all promyelocityc patients from the main Hospital in Mexico in order to put together a group of patient and analyze the response, overall survival and what are the characteristics of the population. The investigators included 5 Hospital in Mexico City and states as Monterrey, Guadalajara, San Luis Potosi, Puebla, Veracruz, Yucatán, Oaxaca, Guanajuato, Estado de México. Even do, the investigators didn´t have arsenic trioxide they are treating patients with standard chemotherapy. These paper will help to show the authorities that the cost of treating patient with standard chemotherapy is much more higher than ATO-ATRA. The investigators are now doing a cost benefit analysis so the investigators, can soon have ATO treatment as standard of care in Mexico for the treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia.
