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.
Participants with agitation secondary to dementia of the Alzheimer's type. The diagnosis of probable Alzheimer's disease (AD) was to be based on the "2011 Diagnostic Guidelines for Alzheimer's Disease" issued by the National Institute on Aging (NIA)-Alzheimer's Association (AA) workgroups.
Primary objective: To assess the efficacy and safety of different dose regimens of ALX-0061 administered subcutaneously (s.c.) to subjects with moderate to severe active, seropositive systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) compared to placebo. Secondary objectives: To assess the pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), immunogenicity, flare rate, steroid reduction and health-related quality of life, with different dose regimens of ALX-0061.
Prospective, multi-center, single-arm, non-interventional and open-label registry. The purpose of the registry is to document use of Phased Radio Frequency Ablation (RFA) (hereafter "Phased RFA") System in a real world patient population with atrial fibrillation (AF) and evaluate its performance. Gold AF will enroll a minimum of 1,000 patients who undergo Phased RFA in approximately 38 sites in Western, Central Europe, Israel and South Korea.
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the long-term safety of UX003 in subjects with MPS 7.
International clinical trial to compare ponesimod and teriflunomide in relapsing multiple sclerosis
The main aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of adding ribociclib to fulvestrant in men and postmenopausal women with hormone receptor positive (HR+), HER2-negative advanced breast cancer.
The study is to evaluate the percentage of patients with asthma or COPD achieving disease control
The primary objective was to evaluate the effect of UX003 treatment in pediatric MPS VII participants less than 5 years of age on safety, tolerability, and efficacy as determined by the reduction of urinary glycosaminoglycans (uGAG) excretion.
The purpose of this study is to determine if Apixaban is safer than a Vitamin K Antagonist given for 6 months in terms of bleeding in patients with an irregular heart beat (atrial fibrillation) and a recent heart attack or a recent procedure to open up a blood vessel in the heart. All patients would also be taking a class of medicines called P2Y12 inhibitors (such as clopidogrel/Plavix) and be treated for up to 6 months. The primary focus will be a comparison of the bleeding risk of Apixaban, with or without aspirin, versus a Vitamin K antagonist, such as warfarin, with or without aspirin.
Cardiac resynchronization therapy(CRT) is recommended to reduce mortality and morbidity in chronic heart failure(CHF) patients New York Heart Association(NYHA) class III-IV who are symptomatic despite optimal medical therapy, with a reduced left ventricular(LV) ejection fraction(LVEF) and prolonged complex QRS. CRT improves the prognosis however, despite the improvement, all major trials have demonstrated that one third of the patients are non-responders to CRT. Three months after the CRT implant, the responders have a significant increase in endothelial function(EntF), a decrease in the LV end-systolic volume, and increase in LVEF, 6 minute walk test(6MWT), improvements in NYHA class and quality of life. It is currently unknown if adding an exercise training(ExT) program following CRT provides better clinical outcomes than CRT alone. Prior studies on CRT and ExT have been preliminary in nature, but suggest small improvements in functional capacity(FC). The correction of endothelial dysfunction is associated with a significant improvement in exercise capacity evidenced by a 26%increase in peak oxygen uptake. These findings are important because CHF patients with the greatest sympathetic activation and the most reduced EntF have the poorest prognosis. Our experience with coronary artery disease patients, and most recently data in patients with CHF show that an ExT program that combines aerobic exercise(AE) and resistance exercise training are more effective than an AE program alone, and the aerobic interval training showed better improvements than continuous endurance training. It is unknown how CHF with more severe functional limitations responds to ExT and, more important, the explanation of the physiological mechanism that can explain the improvements as a consequence of ExT. This lack of scientific information is urgent since this is the group of patients that normally is targeted for CRT. The investigators propose to use a stratified randomized longitudinal study to determine the additional effects of a 6 month ExT in addition to CRT in NYHA stage III-IV HF patients. The aims of the study are:1-to determine whether a long-term ExT program follow the CRT provides better clinical outcomes than CRT alone and 2-To identify the mechanisms of the hypothesize improvement. The results of this project will represent an important contribution by understanding the role of ExT after CRT NYHA stage III-IV heart failure(HF) patients, an understudied population with poor clinical outcome. Understanding the potential mechanisms associated with clinical improvement and outcome is essential for the rehabilitative process to develop new innovative therapies in this high risk population. The investigators will use state-of-art methods including an integrated assessment autonomic nervous system(ANS) and arterial function using 123I-MIBG scintigraphy.
