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 purpose of the study is to characterize the dose-response relationship with respect to efficacy of Padsevonil administered concomitantly with up to 3 anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs) for treatment of observable focal-onset seizures in subjects with drug-resistant epilepsy.
The purpose of this study is to assess the participants socio-demographics and disease-related characteristics, long-term naturalistic treatment patterns and the clinical, social and economic outcomes of routine clinical practice in the treatment of participants with treatment-resistant depression (TRD) in a variety of European countries.
Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) are a group of rare inherited disorders characterized by a deficiency of lysosomal enzymes responsible for the normal degradation of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). Medical need for treatment of MPS is still very high due to the poor penetration of the recombinant enzymes into the blood brain barrier as well as the ocular barriers and into tissues that are poorly vascularized, such as cartilages and bones. Odiparcil is an orally active compound that allows the synthesis of soluble glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), mainly chondroitin sulfate (CS) and dermatane sulfate (DS). The neosynthesized solubles GAGs are then excreted in urine. By diverting endogenous GAG synthesis to the synthesis of soluble odiparcil linked GAGs, odiparcil should decrease the intracellular pool of GAGs and consequently decrease the lysosomal GAG accumulation. The primary objective of the study is to assess the safety and efficacy of two doses of odiparcil in MPS VI patients and to provide evidence to enable the selection of the relevant dose of odiparcil for phase III study. The secondary objective of this study is to characterize the dose response, PK and PD of odiparcil.
The main purpose of the study was to assess the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) through the Multiple Sclerosis Quality of Life-54 Questionnaire (MSQoL-54) scale in highly-active relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS) particpants treated with Mavenclad® for 2 years (24 months).
Athletes have been exposed to an ever increasing training load and subsequent biomechanical overload due to a constant demand for performance enhancement. As a result, it is observed an increased rate of musculoskeletal problems, including spinal biomechanical dysfunctions that are often asymptomatic. These dysfunctions are believed to negatively influence a wide range of mechanical and physiological parameters such as muscle strength, range of motion, and symmetry, what could potentially influence sports performance. Spinal Manipulative Therapy (SMT) is a safe and effective therapy for musculoskeletal disorders that has been increasingly utilized in sports. SMT purpose is to correct spinal joints biomechanical dysfunctions using a high-velocity, low-amplitude movement, applied at the paraphysiological space, beyond the passive joint range of motion. Kinetic and kinematic symmetry can be measured in commonly utilized physical functional tests often used as indicators of athlete's performance. Symmetry Index calculation is used to verify bilateral asymmetries in static and dynamic tests.
XIENCE 28 Global Study is a prospective, single arm, multi-center, open label, non-randomized trial to further evaluate the safety of 1-month (as short as 28 days) dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) in subjects at high risk of bleeding (HBR) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with the approved XIENCE family (XIENCE Xpedition Everolimus Eluting Coronary Stent System [EECSS], XIENCE Alpine EECSS, XIENCE PROX EECSS, XIENCE ProA EECSS or XIENCE Sierra EECSS of coronary drug-eluting stents

This is a study comparing the defibrotide prophylaxis arm vs standard of care arm for the prevention of aGvHD.
Benefits from cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programs are evidence based and widely recognized. Less than 50% of people who participate in hospital-based CR programs maintain an exercise regimen for as long as six months after completion. Despite the benefits associated with regular exercise training (ET), adherence with supervised exercise-based CR remains low. Current exercise guidelines for CR focus on moderate intensity steady state exercises, with walking and cycling being the most recommended types of ET. The repetitive nature of this type of activity can become monotonous for the patient, affecting exercise adherence, compliance and training outcomes. Exercise periodization is a method typically used in sports training, but the impact of periodized exercise to yield optimal beneficial effects in cardiac patients is still unclear. In healthy or trained populations, periodization aims to optimize ET adaptations as compared with non periodized training, to prevent overtraining and to avoid plateauing of training adaptations. Periodized methods are considered to be superior to non periodized methods in trained populations and appears to be superior in inactive adults. In most of the CR programs there are no periodization or exercise progression during medium to long term interventions. Further randomized controlled trials (RCT) are necessary to evaluate long-term periodization outcomes. The purpose of this research project is twofold: 1. To conduct a 12-month randomized control trial to evaluate the effects of a periodized ET regime versus a non periodized ET regime (guidelines) on VO2 peak, maximal strength, body composition, functionality and quality of life in cardiovascular disease patients. 2. to differentiate the effects of a 12-month periodized ET regime versus a non periodized ET regime on the different components of the oxygen kinetics response and oxidative adaptations in cardiovascular disease patients. These patients will be randomized in 2 ET groups: 1) periodization; 2) non periodization. This experimental design will occur during 48 weeks 3 times per week with 4 assessment time points: M0) before starting the ET program (baseline); M1) 3 months after starting the ET; M2) 6 months after starting the ET program and M3) 12 months at the end of the community-based ET program.
