There are about 1254 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Peru. 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 investigators will conduct a pilot study of a community-based intervention designed to improve outcomes among adolescents living with HIV (ALWH) transitioning to adult HIV care in Lima, Peru. The investigators will enroll adolescents transitioning to adult HIV care, either due to a recent diagnosis or having aged out of their pediatric clinic. ALWH previously lost from care during the transition process will also be invited to participate. The nine-month intervention will consist of (1) logistical, adherence and social support delivered by entry-level health workers who will accompany adolescents during their transition to adult HIV care and (2) group sessions to improve health-related knowledge, skills, and social support. The investigators will assess intervention feasibility and effectiveness in improving medication adherence, psycho-social outcomes, and transition readiness after 6, 9, and 12 months.
Determine the prevalence of homologous recombination repair (HRR) gene mutations in participants with mCRPC in Latin America (LatAm) between February 2021 and January 2022.
The purpose of the study is to assess if the study medication (molnupiravir, MK-4482) will prevent symptomatic coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in adults who live with someone with confirmed COVID-19 infection. This is a phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study; half of the study participants will receive molnupiravir twice daily by mouth and the other half will receive a placebo. The primary objectives of the study are to determine if molnupiravir prevents symptomatic COVID-19 disease and to evaluate its safety and tolerability. All participants who develop COVID-19 during the study are still eligible for any COVID-19 treatment recommended by their doctor.
This study is to evaluate antiviral activity, efficacy, safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of GSK3810109A in HIV-1 infected treatment naive adults. Participants will receive a single dose of GSK3810109A administered either intravenously (IV) or subcutaneously (SC). The study includes a screening phase, a randomized monotherapy phase and a standard of care follow-up phase.
Although several therapeutic agents have been suggested for the treatment of the disease caused by the Coronavirus of the year 2019 (COVID-19), no antiviral has yet demonstrated consistent efficacy. This is an observational study comparing Tenofovir-DF (disoproxil fumarate) (TDF) with Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) in the treatment of hospitalized patients with COVID-19 with evidence of pulmonary compromise and with supplemental oxygen required.
This is a multi-country, multi-centre, retrospective, non-interventional cohort study planned to include patients diagnosed with mCRPC between 01 January 2016 and 31 December 2018, who have received at least 1 line of treatment (LOT) in the mCRPC setting, and have 12 months of follow-up data available.
High blood pressure (BP) is one of the principal cardiovascular risk factors. While BP levels and hypertension prevalence are well characterized in many populations, information on BP and on cardiovascular risk profile in high altitude inhabitants is limited and frequently contradictory, especially in the large highland populations of South America. The information on the effects of permanent high altitude exposure on cardiovascular variables including BP may be relevant in the light of the known BP-increasing effect of acute exposure to high altitude hypoxia. This information may have practical implications for millions of people living at elevated altitudes in Asia, South America and Africa. The inconclusive epidemiological evidence on BP and cardiovascular risk in high altitude dwellers may be the result of several factors, among them: 1) confounding by genetic and socio-economic factors; 2) imperfect methods of BP evaluation, in particular lack of data on ambulatory and home BP (both methods considered superior to conventional clinic BP in the assessment of exposure to high BP). On this background, the general aim of the study is to compare blood pressure levels and cardiovascular risk profile among population-based samples of subjects residing in Peruvian communities living at different altitudes.
This prospective, multicountry, multicentre, non-interventional study plans to include patients who have undergone surgery for early-stage (IA to IIIB on the basis of pathologic criteria) non-squamous NSCLC up to 6 weeks prior to enrolment into the study. The main objective of this study is to determine the prevalence of EGFRm in patients with surgically resected early-stage (IA to IIIB) non-squamous NSCLC as there are limited data on its prevalence in this patient population.
This Phase III study will assess whether AZD7442 (a combination of 2 mAbs) can safely treat outpatient adults with COVID-19 and prevent either severe COVID-19 or death.
This Phase 2a trial recruits adult patients with uncomplicated P. vivax or P. falciparum blood-stage malaria mono-infection. The study drug SJ733 will be administered to examine its antimalarial efficacy, safety, and tolerability. This study also evaluates whether or not a fixed dose of the pharmacoenhancer cobicistat when given in combination with SJ733 significantly improves drug efficacy.
