NCT ID: NCT05475691 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for Spinal Muscular Atrophy

Longitudinal Data Collection in Pediatric and Adult Patients With Spinal Muscular Atrophy in Latin America

RegistrAME
Start date: August 17, 2022
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

The natural history of SMA patients has changed, due to the improvements in treatment and technological advances. The systematic collection of data from routine clinical practice in multiple Latin American countries, harmonized to an internationally aligned core data set, is important to advancing the understanding the natural history of disease in the region and the influence of different drug treatments on patient outcomes. These data are critical to improving the care of these patients. So far, clinical trials regarding therapeutic approaches for SMA patients only cover a subgroup of the broad spectrum of severity of SMA. Thus, there is a strong need to monitor the full range of treated and untreated SMA patients in a real-world context.The aim of this study is to set up a regional healthcare provider (HCP) entered registry. The planned SMA registry will provide an online platform to collect longitudinal data on SMA patients across Latin America to achieve a better understanding of the clinical characteristics of SMA patients, the natural history of the disease, the use of DMTs and patients' outcomes, as well as to support further research projects and regional data generation.

NCT ID: NCT05414695 Active, not recruiting - Myofascial Pain Clinical Trials

Effect of Acupuncture on Craniomandibular Pain of Myofascial Origin.

Start date: March 14, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Myofascial pain is one of the most prevalent conditions within temporomandibular disorders. Despite its high prevalence, health systems pay insufficient attention to it. Patients frequently receive multiple unnecessary and sometimes aggressive treatments. In this context, acupuncture has been studied as a plausible therapy for these conditions. However, researchers have encountered various methodological difficulties when demonstrating its actual effect. The main historical challenge in this area involves the difficulties inherent to using appropriate acupuncture controls such as placebos that allow for double blinding and cause minimum tactile stimulation. In a previous study, a validated an improved novel placebo acupuncture non-penetrating device with double blinding capability was presented. This project will allow to test the performance of this new placebo acupuncture device in a clinical experimental setting. The study will try to determine the actual effectiveness of acupuncture in treating craniomandibular pain of myofascial origin. The design will be a randomized, triple blind, placebo controlled, crossover clinical trial. The protocol follows the STRICTA (Standards for Reporting Interventions in Controlled Trials of Acupuncture) recommendations, and ethical approval was obtained. The central hypothesis is that acupuncture will be more effective than a placebo. Another hypothesis is that neither patients nor acupuncturists will be able to distinguish real acupuncture devices from placebo devices. The study will include consecutive patients diagnosed with pain in the craniomandibular region of muscular/myofascial origin according to accepted criteria. Sample size calculations were made with the assumption of an 80% power and a statistical difference accepted at the 5% level. A total of 60 patients will be included. Patients will be randomly divided into two groups: real acupuncture or placebo. Five sessions will be performed on each patient on a weekly basis. The total time for each intervention will be 30 minutes. A crossover design will be applied after a "washout" period of 14 days. Outcome measures will include pain, stress levels, quality of life, and mandibular dynamics, using validated and published criteria. Baseline measurements will be taken pre-treatment and at each treatment session. Follow-up outcomes will be measured after three and six months. A strict protocol for bias control will be followed. The triple-blind design will prevent the patient, the acupuncturist, and the person performing the statistical analysis from knowing what type of treatment each patient receives each time. Examiners will be calibrated and blinded to the treatment status. Data will be analyzed using a generalized mixed model framework and logistic regression models. Also, Fisher's exact test will be used to analyze the devices' blinding capability.

NCT ID: NCT05295641 Active, not recruiting - Heart Failure Clinical Trials

American Registry of Ambulatory or Acute Decompensated Heart Failure

AMERICCAASS
Start date: April 1, 2022
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

The purpose of this study is to better characterize and understand the population of patients with ambulatory or acutely decompensated heart failure in the American continent, getting to know their sociodemographic, clinical and paraclinical characteristics

NCT ID: NCT04764188 Active, not recruiting - NSCLC Clinical Trials

An Observational Study to Evaluate the Real-World Clinical Management and Outcomes of ALK-Positive Advanced NSCLC Participants Treated With Alectinib

ReAlec
Start date: May 10, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational

This study aims to characterize the clinical management and outcomes of participants diagnosed with anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-positive advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who are being treated with alectinib in real-world clinical practice.

NCT ID: NCT04158258 Active, not recruiting - Breast Cancer Clinical Trials

A Study to Describe the Diagnosis, Anti-Cancer Treatment and Clinical Outcome in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Breast Cancer in Latin America

Start date: February 21, 2020
Phase:
Study type: Observational

A Prospective, Multicenter, Non-Interventional Study of Primary Data Collection, Designed to Describe the Diagnosis, Anti-Cancer Treatment and Clinical Outcomes in Patients with Breast Cancer in Latin America.

NCT ID: NCT01881659 Active, not recruiting - Cervical Cancer Clinical Trials

Cervical Cancer Screening With Human Papillomavirus Testing

ESTAMPA
Start date: May 2013
Phase:
Study type: Observational

HPV testing for primary cervical cancer screening of women over 30 years of age is likely to become the standard of care in the near future in many areas of the world. Its high sensitivity can significantly improve the effectiveness of screening programs and its prolonged negative predictive value can allow extension of screening intervals. However, a single HPV test has low positive predictive value and can lead to unnecessary workup and over-treatment and generate unnecessary distress. This multi-centric study will screen 50,000 women with HPV testing and compare several triage approaches that can follow HPV testing in order to make an HPV-based screening programme efficient, affordable and sustainable.

NCT ID: NCT00262067 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for Metastatic Breast Cancer

A Study Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of Bevacizumab in Combination With Chemotherapy in Untreated Metastatic Breast Cancer (RIBBON 1)

Start date: December 2005
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

This is a Phase III, multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of bevacizumab in combination with chemotherapy compared with chemotherapy alone in subjects with previously untreated metastatic breast cancer.
