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.
International, multicenter, observational, longitudinal monitoring study to identify, validate and/or monitor Mass Spectrometry (MS)-based biomarker/s for Hereditary Angioedeme (HAE) disease and to test the clinical robustness, specificity, and predictive value of theese biomarker/s
Prospective, double-blind, randomized assessment of the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetic of Aerucin® as adjunct treatment (in addition to standard of care antibiotics) for pneumonia caused by P. aeruginosa.
Background: Depression is a common comorbidity of physical chronic diseases such as diabetes and/or hypertension and constitutes an important public health problem. It correlates negatively with the patients' quality of life and self-care, as well as compliance with medical treatment. In low- and middle-income countries depression often goes unrecognized and untreated, and there are limited human resources to treat depression and other mental problems. Aim: The present study aims to test a 6-week low-intensity psychological intervention (CONEMO - CONtrol EMOcional) delivered by a smartphone application to people with depressive symptoms and co-morbid diabetes and/or hypertension recruited in primary health care centers and public hospitals in Lima, Peru.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of voclosporin compared with placebo in achieving renal response after 52 weeks of therapy in subjects with active lupus nephritis.
The investigators propose to develop and pilot an HIV prevention intervention based on rectal STI testing, counseling, and treatment for MSM in Peru. The investigators will use nucleic acid testing to screen 750 behaviorally high-risk MSM for rectal gonorrheal and/or chlamydial (GC/CT) infection. GC/CT-positive subjects will receive single-dose antibiotic treatment and single-session Personal Cognitive Counseling (PCC) (n=50) or standard post-test counseling (n=50). A GC/CT-negative control group (n=50) will also be enrolled to compare biological outcomes including changes in levels of inflammatory cytokines following rectal STI. The intervention is based on three interrelated objectives: 1) To use periodic rectal STI nucleic acid testing to identify the members of the MSM population at greatest short-term risk for HIV infection; 2) To provide single-dose antibiotic treatment to control the immune activation and mucosal inflammation caused by rectal GC/CT infection that increase cellular risk for HIV transmission; and 3) To use Personal Cognitive Counseling (PCC) to understand and modify recent high-risk sexual practices that led to rectal STI acquisition and that increase future HIV risk. The investigators propose to screen 750 behaviorally high-risk MSM for rectal GC/CT infection to enroll 100 GC/CT-positive individuals (using a conservative 15% prevalence estimate) and 50 GC/CT-negative controls (matched by age and baseline frequency of URAI). GC/CT-infected participants will be given single-dose antibiotic therapy and randomized to receive single-session PCC (n=50) or standard post-test counseling (n=50). The primary outcome will be the impact of PCC on self-reported sexual risk behavior (URAI). Secondary outcomes will assess: 1) Feasibility/Acceptability of the STI screening program; 2) Impact of GC/CT infection and treatment on levels of inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-8, TNF-αand IL-1β) in rectal mucosa; 3) Prevalence of persistent/recurrent rectal GC/CT; and 4) HIV incidence in GC/CT-infected and -uninfected MSM.
The purpose of this study is to assess how human skin reacts and how sunscreens and sun protection fabrics protect in natural sunlight compared to their labeled claims, indoor testing methods (existing or modified) and instructions.
This is a Phase IIa/b double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, parallel group, multicenter study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of RO7123520 as adjunctive therapy in participants with RA who are inadequately responding to standard-of-care (methotrexate and anti-TNF-alpha therapy). Part 1 of the study will evaluate safety. Part 2 will evaluate efficacy and safety. Part 3 will evaluate dose-ranging efficacy. Participants will have the option of continuing to the extension period of the study.
The purpose of this study is to determine if an investigational treatment is effective compared with placebo and PVP-Iodine in the treatment of adults and children with adenoviral conjunctivitis.
The purpose of this randomized controlled field trial is to determine whether a liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) stove and fuel distribution intervention reduces personal and kitchen exposure to household air pollutants and improves cardiopulmonary health outcomes when compared to usual cooking practices with open-fire biomass-burning stoves in adult women aged 25-64 years.
This study aims to answer very important questions regarding the prevalence of somatic and germline mutations (sBRCAm and gBRCAm) in a population of newly diagnosed ovarian cancer patients from Latin America. These answers may be extremely helpful in the counseling for genetic risk and treatment approach in these populations and will aid in making treatment decisions in the future
