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 purpose of this study is to evaluate the vaccine efficacy (VE) of a heterologous vaccine regimen utilizing Ad26.Mos4.HIV and aluminum phosphate-adjuvanted Clade C gp140 and Mosaic gp140 for the prevention of HIV-1 infection in HIV-1 seronegative cis-gender men and transgender individuals having sex with cis-gender men and/or transgender individuals.
This is Phase 3, Randomized, Placebo-controlled study to demonstrate superiority of CT-P13 SC over Placebo SC in Patients With Moderately to Severely Active Crohn's Disease
Overall objective: To understand the feasibility of performing a randomized trial using a simple, minimally-invasive postural therapy approach to improve sleep disordered breathing (SDB).
This study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of sugammadex (MK-8616) for reversal of both moderate and deep neuromuscular blockade (NMB) in pediatric participants aged birth to <2 years. The primary hypothesis of this study is that sugammadex is superior to neostigmine in reversing moderate NMB as measured by time to neuromuscular recovery.
The preschool stage has been identified as an important moment for the study of factors associated with obesity. The worrying national situation of overweight in children from 3 to 5 years old, the increase in consumption of ultra-processed foods nationwide that is associated with the increase of the body mass index at the national level, the reduced national scientific evidence regarding the effectiveness of interventions in promoting healthy habits, as well as the lack of tools for mothers of preschool children in nutrition and physical activity, make interventions necessary in this area. On the other hand, currently, users worldwide are installing fewer applications and, although they spend more time using mobile applications, they are limited to a handful. Therefore, developing a native mobile application that is highly consumed is very difficult and expensive. For this reason, progressive web apps emerge as an attractive alternative for users given its attractive features, cross-platform interface, lower development cost and a growing demand for such applications. Thus, this research seeks to explore a novel way to promote healthy habits in preschoolers and check their effectiveness. In this way, a precedent could be set in the use of technologies in health promotion that could be extended to other age groups.
Clinical study in which researchers want to learn more about the safety profile of MESIGYNA used as a medication in routine clinical practice to prevent pregnancy. In order to find this out researchers will collect historic and treatment related data during initial visit and follow-up visits of adult women in reproductive age in the Peruvian population at the outpatient clinic. Mesigyna is a combined injectable birth control medication (norethindrone ethanate (50 mg) and estradiol valerate (5 mg)) for women given monthly.
This is a 2-part study, with Part A being the randomized, controlled portion of the study in patients with ABC hospital-acquired bacterial pneumonia (HABP), ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia (VABP), or bacteremia. Part B is the single-group portion of the study and includes ABC infections that are resistant to or have failed colistin or polymyxin B treatment, as detailed in the inclusion criteria.
The study is conducted to improve knowledge about the epidemiology of Lipoprotein(a) in patients with established cardiovascular disease (CVD).
Isoniazid preventive therapy (IPT) reduces the risk of tuberculosis in 60%. Young children are at higher risk of developing severe forms of TB, though this can be prevented with a full course of IPT. Preliminary data indicate that 60% of eligible children start IPT, and 30% complete it. Furthermore, children can be exposed to more than one case of TB in the household. Adults exposed to TB in the household setting are not necessarily aware of their risk. Uncertainties in the decisions of staff to prescribe IPT and limited health literacy among caretakers and families contribute to this. The investigators will determine the efficacy of an intervention package to increase IPT adherence and completion among children < 5 years old exposed to TB in the household. The investigators will assess the efficacy of the intervention by 1) measuring IPT completion at 6 months after treatment initiation and by 2) determining adherence to IPT by measuring isoniazid in urine at weeks 2, 8 and 24 in a random cluster sample of 10 health facilities and 20 control facilities with 10 children included in each facility (100 in intervention and 200 in control). The investigators will measure fidelity and reach, and acceptability among caretakers and health staff. The intervention package will consist of: 1) educational booklet for caretakers explaining why IPT needs to be given 2) a children's storybook, with weekly installments, over the 6-month course of IPT as a non-monetary incentive and 3) short messages services (SMS) reminders delivered to the caretaker for the weekly pick-up In September 2020, the protocol was updated to adapt to the COVID19 situation in Lima. One of the secondary outcome (isoniazid concentration in urine) was cancelled and the full intervention (educational booklet, weekly children storybook and weekly SMS) is now delivered through WhatsApp.
This study will assess the safety and efficacy of cefepime/VNRX-5133 compared with meropenem in both eradication of bacteria and in symptomatic response in patients with cUTIs.
