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 objective of this study is to investigate the effects of two isocaloric maintenance diets with different meal timing distribution on insulin resistance hyperandrogenism and cytochrome P450c17 alpha activity in lean PCOS women. The investigators hypothesis is that in lean PCOS women a Breakfast Diet (BD) which consist in high calorie breakfast and reduced dinner, vs Dinner Diet (DD) which consist in high calorie dinner with reduced breakfast; the BD will improve glucose and insulin response to OGTT and would decrease the hyperandrogenism and cytochrome P450c17 alpha activity.
This two-cohort, open-label, multicenter study will assess the safety, efficacy and tolerability of trastuzumab emtansine in participants with HER2-positive locally advanced breast cancer (LABC) or metastatic breast cancer (mBC) who have received prior anti-HER2 and chemotherapy-based treatment. Participants in Cohort 1 will be drawn from the general participant population; Cohort 2 will include only Asian participants.
This multicenter study will evaluate the correlation of interleukin 28B (IL28B) genotypes with disease characteristics and demographics in treatment-naïve and treatment-experienced chronic hepatitis C patients, including patients with HIV co-infection. There will be a single study visit for testing.
This multicenter, randomized, open label parallel-group study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of subcutaneous versus intravenous MabThera/Rituxan (rituximab) in combination with CHOP chemotherapy in patients with previously untreated CD20-positive diffuse large B-Cell lymphoma. Patients will be randomized to receive either MabThera/Rituxan 1400 mg subcutaneously or MabThera/Rituxan 375 mg/m2 intravenously on Day 1 of each cycle for 8 cycles, in combination with 6-8 cycles of CHOP chemotherapy. Anticipated time on study treatment is 6 months.
The investigators hypothesis is that eating whey protein in the breakfast versus other proteins will results in higher satiety, reduced overall postprandial glycemia and more weight loss in obese diabetic individuals
RATIONAL is a multinational, multicentre, observational, cross sectional study of adult patients in treatment with NSAID therapy for OA, RA or AS during for at least 2 weeks before study visit (at least one dose).
This multicenter, open-label, single-arm, Phase IIIb study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of pertuzumab in combination with trastuzumab (Herceptin) and a taxane (docetaxel, paclitaxel or nab-paclitaxel) in first-line treatment in participants with metastatic or locally recurrent HER2-positive breast cancer. Participants will receive pertuzumab intravenously (IV) and trastuzumab (Herceptin) IV plus a taxane in cycles of 3 weeks each until predefined study end, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, disease progression, or death, whichever occurs first.
The investigators will explore the effect of omission of breakfast on postprandial hyperglycemia and insulin and intact GLP-1 response after subsequent meals in type 2 diabetic patients
This multicenter, two-cohort, non-randomized, open-label study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of assisted and self-administered SC Herceptin as adjuvant therapy in participants with early HER2-positive breast cancer following tumor excision. Participants will receive Herceptin 600 milligrams (mg) SC every 3 weeks for 18 cycles, either by an assisted administration using a conventional syringe and needle/vial formulation (Cohort A) or with assisted and self-administration using a single-use injection device (SID) in selected participants (Cohort B).
Improvements in diagnosis of dengue fever and prediction of which patients will get more severe disease are urgently needed to improve the treatment of patients with dengue. This is very important in places with many people who suffer from dengue but have limited health care resources. This study will enroll patients with fever which may be caused by dengue in 6 countries with high incidence of dengue over two continents (Brazil, Cambodia, El Salvador, Indonesia, Malaysia and Vietnam). All patients will be followed by a doctor with blood tests and exams until they recover. Symptoms and laboratory tests will be followed so that the cause of fever can be determined. For patients who have dengue, the investigators will look for symptoms and tests which indicate more serious disease. This study will help to determine how to identify patients with dengue fever based on symptoms and simple laboratory tests and those who will get more serious disease. It will also help to define a more standardized management of patients with dengue fever.
