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.
The purpose of this study is to measure improvements in liver fibrosis and inflammation with GSK4532990 compared with placebo in participants with NASH and advanced fibrosis on biopsy (F3 or F4). The study duration will be up to 76 weeks including the screening period. The treatment duration will be up to 52 weeks.
IASP defines "pain" as "an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with or resembling that associated with actual or potential tissue damage". In some patients, pain is one of the reasons they initially consult a doctor and will be strongly related to cancer itself, is connected to receiving the cancer diagnosis, and therefore may become an uncertain threat of disease recurrence in cancer survivors. Neuropathic pain is the most prevalent type of pain, but a mixed type of pain is also common, reflecting the complexity of the pain experience. There is increasing evidence in oncology that quality of life and survival are linked to early and effective palliative care, including pain management. Although improvements have been seen, undertreatment of pain remains a problem in a significant subset of cancer patients. Regarding the interventional options in cancer pain, multiple possibilities range from pharmacological modulation, the use of modalities or physical means, as well as the practice of physical exercise as a mechanism of pain modulation, which has been established according to the background grade of recommendation. Regarding education in neuroscience, this has gained momentum in chronic pain since previous interventions have generated recommendations to include neurocognitive interventions in pain processes. Therefore, it seeks to determine the effectiveness of a neuroscience education program compared to conventional treatment in adults with cancer pain in biopsychosocial variables.
The primary objective of this study is to compare the effect of treatment with olpasiran, to placebo, on the risk for coronary heart disease death (CHD death), myocardial infarction, or urgent coronary revascularization in participants with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and elevated Lipoprotein(a).
Obesity is the main risk factor for the development of chronic-degenerative diseases in Mexico. Due to the difficulty of treating obesity, prevention is urgently needed. The holidays are the festive period with the greatest impact on adult body weight. Evidence from observational studies has shown that more than 50% of the annual weight is gained during this period. However, few preventive interventions have been carried out worldwide. The present work will evaluate the efficacy of the Watch your Weight During Holidays Program on the prevention of weight gain during 8 weeks in comparison with the control group in Mexican adults. The study will be a randomized clinical trial. It will have two intervention groups: 1) Watch your Weight During Holidays Program and 2) Control Group (minimal intervention). Weight, height, body mass index, waist circumference, kilograms of body fat, fat mass index, cm2 of abdominal fat, blood pressure and perception of health-related quality of life will be measured in 64 volunteers, at the beginning and after 8 weeks of participating in Watch your Weight During Holidays Program. For comparisons between groups, Student's t-tests or Mann-Whitney's U-tests will be performed, according to the type of sample distribution. The primary variable of the study will be the change in body weight. The secondary variables will be the change in body mass index, waist circumference, kilograms of fat mass, fat mass index, cm2 of abdominal fat, blood pressure and aspects of perception of quality of life related to health.
The treatment of adult patients with congenital heart disease (ACHD) and heart failure (HF) represents a great challenge since, to date, there is no standardized guideline for this specific population. Although new treatments for HF have been proposed, such as Sodium-glucose Cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) Inhibitors and neprilisin and angiotensin receptor inhibitors, the benefit of these drugs in patients with HF associated with congenital heart disease in adults has not yet been demonstrated. For this reason, this study pretends to evaluate the efficacy of empagliflozin and sacubitril/valsartan in this population.
In noncritically hospitalized patients, hyperglycemia (defined as blood glucose [BG] levels >140 mg/dL) is a common, serious, and costly healthcare problem. On the other hand, the treatment of hyperglycemia is associated with decreased mortality and morbidity. Therefore, clinical guidelines from professional organizations recommend using subcutaneous insulin as the preferred therapy in hospitalized patients in a non-intensive care unit setting (target glucose range 100 - 180 mg/dl). The most recommended regimen is basal-bolus insulin therapy, although this regimen requires multiple daily insulin injections and is associated with a significant risk of hypoglycemia (reported in up to 32%). Thus, a more straightforward regimen that results in similar glycemic efficacy to basal-bolus insulin with less risk of hypoglycemia could improve care for this group of patients. The basal-plus insulin regimen consists of a daily dose of basal insulin with supplemental (corrective) doses of rapid-acting insulin analogue before meals. This has similar efficacy and safety as the basal-bolus regimen. However, the basal-plus scheme does not provide prandial coverage of insulin. In another vein, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors are a class of oral glucose-lowering agents that reduce the breakdown of endogenous glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), stimulating insulin secretion in a glucose-dependent manner. Some clinical trials have demonstrated that DPP-4 inhibitors, in combination with insulin, result in similar improvement in glycemic control and lower rates of hypoglycemia compared to basal-bolus insulin regimens. For the above, using a long-acting insulin analogue with a DPP-4 inhibitor could provide better glycemic control basal and prandial, and this scheme could represent an alternative to using a basal-plus regimen alone. In the present study, the investigators will conduct a prospective randomized clinical trial (RCT) to compare the DPP-4 inhibitor, sitagliptin, combined with basal-plus insulin therapy and basal-plus insulin scheme alone in non-critical hospitalized patients.
This is a 12-week (with an extension to 52 weeks in a subset of participants) study comparing the safety of BGF MDI HFO twice daily (BID) with BGF MDI HFA BID in participants with moderate to very severe COPD.
Currently 37.9 million people are living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) around the world (UNAIDS, 2018). Even with antiretroviral treatment (ART), the virus enters the central nervous system and can affect the following structures: amygdala, hippocampus, thalamus, parietal, frontal, temporal regions, orbitofrontal, cingulate, motor and sensory cortex; generating cognitive, behavioral and motor alterations, up to HIV-associated neurocognitive disorder (HAND) and occasionally HIV-associated dementia (HAD). Few clinical studies have been conducted using computerized cognitive rehabilitation programs to counteract neuropsychological alterations. The aim of this project is to explore the feasibility of a cognitive stimulation program (CSP) developed to strengthen cognitive domains identified as impaired through a neuropsychological assessment in asymptomatic HIV+ patients adherent to ART, with the purpose of improving their quality of life and mood disorder.
This randomized Phase 3 open-label study will compare the efficacy of the T-cell immunoglobulin and immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif (ITIM) domain (TIGIT) monoclonal antibody domvanalimab, the anti programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) monoclonal antibody zimberelimab, and multiagent chemotherapy versus the anti PD-1 monoclonal antibody nivolumab and multiagent chemotherapy in the first-line treatment of participants with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic gastric, gastroesophageal junction (GEJ), and esophageal adenocarcinoma.
This study has 2 parts: First part is the main study and second part is the extension study. During the main study participants will receive 1 of 4 study medicines. If participants continue in the extension study, they will not receive any study medicine during the extension. The main study will look at how well CagriSema helps participants with excess body weight lose weight compared to a "dummy" medicine and 2 other medicines, cagrilintide and semaglutide. Participants will either get CagriSema, cagrilintide,semaglutide or "dummy" medicine. Which treatment participants get is decided by chance. They will take one injection once a week. The study medicine is injected briefly with a thin needle, typically in the stomach, thighs or upper arms. Extension study: After the main study, not all participants will continue in the extension study. The study staff will tell the participant if they will continue or not into the extension study. In the extension study we will look at what happens to the participant's body weight and diseases related to excess body weight after the participant stops taking the study medicine. The main study will last for about 1½ years and the extension study will last for another 2 years.
