There are about 189 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Venezuela. 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 core and extension studies assessed the safety and efficacy of aliskiren when added to optimized standard therapy in patients that have had a high risk acute myocardial infarction (heart attack).
This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of Tegaserod in opioid-induced constipation in patients with non-cancer pain. Patients who enter this study PRIOR to the core study (CHTF919N2201) interim analysis receive the treatment as follows: Patients will be randomly assigned to receive open label tegaserod 6 mg b.i.d. or tegaserod 12 mg o.d. using an allocation ratio of 1:1. Patients who enter this study AFTER the core study interim analysis receive the treatment as follows: Patients will be assigned to receive the selected tegaserod dose regimen (as determined by the core study interim analysis) in an open label fashion.
To investigate whether a Caduet based treatment strategy might result in greater reduction in total cardiovascular risk as compared to usual care in subjects with hypertension and additional risk factors.
Management of neuropathic pain associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy, post-herpetic neuralgia, human immunodeficiency virus-related peripheral neuropathy, and chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of rivaroxaban with warfarin for the prevention of blood clots in the brain (referred to as stroke) and blood clots in other parts of the body referred to as non-central nervous system systemic embolism) in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (a heart rhythm disorder).
The purpose of this study is to assess the analgesic efficacy of flexibly-dosed pregabalin in the adjunctive treatment of subjects with cancer-induced bone pain.
This study, will compare pregabalin with placebo for the duration of 14 weeks to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pregabalin in patients with fibromyalgia.
This study is being conducted to demonstrate the superior clinical effectiveness of Salmeterol/Fluticasone Propionate compared to montelukast in the management of persistent asthma in children aged 6-14 years, and to assess the effect of each treatment [Salmeterol/Fluticasone Propionate (50/100 mcg) and montelukast (5 mg)] on lung function, asthma control, Health Outcomes including the child's quality of life as measured by Paediatric Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (PAQLQ) and the caregiver's quality of life as measured by Paediatric Asthma Caregiver's Quality of Life Questionnaire (PACQLQ) at selected centers where a valid translation is available.
Hemophilia, which results from deficiency of factor VIII or IX, is a common hereditary X-linked bleeding disorder affecting up to 10/100,000 population. About 60-70% of them have severe disease (factor level <1%). This group is characterized by the occurrence of frequent spontaneous bleeding into joints and soft tissues. If inadequately treated, it results in progressive damage to joints and muscles leading to crippling deformities. Close clinical observation of these patients over many years has shown that those with >1% levels have much less bleeding compared to those with less than 1%. This observation has gained immense clinical importance in planning therapy for these patients. To prevent progressive joint damage, the missing factor needs to be replaced. Much has evolved in this practice in the last 50 years. From administration of whole blood in the beginning, to plasma and cryoprecipitate, to purified plasma-derived concentrates and finally recombinant factor concentrates. The standard of therapy now is to replace factors frequently enough to maintain >1% factor levels at all times (“prophylaxis”) or administer immediately on premonition or earliest signs of bleeding (“on demand” therapy). This has greatly enhanced the quality of life of people with hemophilia. However, the optimal regimens of factor replacement remain to be defined. The definition of what is optimal management of this chronic condition, currently incurable for the vast majority of patients, varies significantly in different parts of the world, depending on practicality and social expectations. Models have care have been developed in Western countries based on careful documentation of outcome over many years. Such data is lacking from developing countries. This multi-center study aims to systematically record the outcome of musculoskeletal function in people with hemophilia in developing countries for the first time and provide information that can help plan care for the 80% of all hemophiliacs in the world who live in these countries. Currently there is no well documented model of care at the range of factor replacement practiced in these countries nor is there any significant information on the long-term outcome of musculo-skeletal function among these patients.
Primary objective : - To compare disease-free survival after treatment with docetaxel in combination with doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide to doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide followed by docetaxel in operable adjuvant breast cancer HER2neu negative patients with positive axillary lymph nodes. Secondary objectives : - To compare toxicity and quality of life between the 2 above-mentioned arms. - To evaluate pathologic and molecular markers for predicting efficacy.
