There are about 3194 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Portugal. 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 main purpose of this study is to evaluate the anti-tumor activity of bempegaldesleukin (NKTR-214) in combination with nivolumab by assessing the objective response rate (ORR) in cisplatin ineligible, locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer patients.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate long-term safety and tolerability data in eligible CLCZ696B2319 (PANORAMA-HF) patients receiving open-label sacubitril/valsartan.
The Safety and Efficacy of Psilocybin in Participants with Treatment Resistant Depression
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is nowadays the 4th cause of death in the world and it´s expected to become the 3rd cause of death in 2020 and the majority cause of morbidity. Besides that, in Portugal COPD patients become more dependents each day. Acupuncture as a reflex therapy it´s carried out through a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) diagnose that will allowed to identify the acupoints. The investigators are interested in to assess acupuncture efficacy on physical exercise tolerance in COPD patients.An experimental, controlled, randomized, double blind study was done. Patients were recruited according TCM diagnose to optimize potential therapeutic effects.
Physical activity improves cognitive function and the ability to perform activities of daily living in people with dementia and reduces caregivers' burden thus, enhancing quality of life of people with dementia and their caregivers. The wish of most people with dementia, and their caregivers, is to live at their home, for as long as possible. However community-dwelling people with dementia have low levels of physical activity, increasing dependency, which often leads to institutionalization. The Lifestyle Integrated Functional Exercise (LiFE) program has been shown to decrease sedentary activity time and dependency in activities of daily living of older people, however, it has never been implemented in people with dementia. LiFE might be promising as it focuses on establishing new behaviors within selected contexts to stimulate physical activity at home. Therefore, a home-based physical activity program, based on LiFE and involving caregivers, LiFE4D, will be implemented and evaluated in community-dwelling people with dementia.
This study will assess the change in endometrial gene expression signature on the day of embryo transfer according to the type of exogenous gonadotropins administered.
A Phase 3 study to evaluate efficacy, safety, and tolerability of ampreloxetine (TD-9855) in subjects with primary autonomic failures (MSA, PD, or PAF) and symptomatic nOH with up to 4 weeks of treatment.
This study will collect data on bleeds and data related to quality of life in people with severe congenital (a disease existing from birth) haemophilia A and B, with or without inhibitors. The aim for the study is to look at the number of bleeds when on usual treatment for haemophilia. Participants will be asked to keep an electronic diary to track the number of bleeds and the treatment of their bleeds. Participants will be asked to wear an activity tracker on their wrist to capture their level of activity every day for up to 12 weeks. While taking part in this study, participants will keep getting their usual treatment as given to them by their doctor. All study visits at the clinic are done in the same way as the participants are used to. In the time between the participants' visits to the clinic, the study staff at the clinic may call or email the participant. The study will last for about 2½ years.
The aim of this study is to quantify and characterize the outcomes of radiofrequency (RF) ablation after, and the utility of electroanatomical mapping with the Advisor™ HD Grid Mapping Catheter, Sensor Enabled™ (hereafter called "HD Grid") and EnSite Precision™ Cardiac Mapping System (SV 2.2 or higher, hereafter called "EnSite Precision") with HD Wave Solution™ voltage mapping (hereafter called "HD Wave Solution") in subjects with persistent atrial fibrillation (PersAF) or ventricular tachycardia (VT) in real-world clinical settings.
In order to improve the postoperative period (namely pain control), several drugs can be used. For instance, ketamine is a general anesthetic that holds strong analgesic properties, yet also owns undesirable effects, in which hallucination phenomena is one the most common indicator. However, slight information is available about the real implication in the quality of the recovery on the use of ketamine for postoperative pain treatment. The quality of the recovery includes several health conditions, such as pain, physical comfort, physical independence, psychological support and emotional state. In recent years, investigations in this field has been attracted the attention by the health professionals, since is an indicator of the quality of post-operative care. To evaluate these parameters, questionnaires have been developed, in which the Portuguese version of Quality of Recovery 15 (QoR-15) is include. This questionnaire evaluates five psychometric dimensions. Therefore, the present study has the main goal, the evaluation of the effect of using ketamine in laparoscopic surgery and the quality of the recovery using the QoR-15 questionnaire.
