ABSTRACT

A retrospective descriptive study on the presentation of clinical trials was carried out during 23 years in Santiago de Cuba, with the objective of describing the implementation of 3 immunotherapeutical products (CIMAher-Nimotuzumab, CIMAvax-EGF and Vaxira-Racotumomab) for the treatment of patients with cancer in hospitals and polyclinics from the province. The final reports of each clinical trial and the available information of the promoter center were reviewed from 1992 to 2015. Twenty protocols of clinical trials were implemented by 500 investigators of 25 specialties distributed in 4 hospitals of the province and 4 primary health care areas, where 2 clinical trials in patients with lung cancer were carried out. It was concluded that the implementation of these immunotherapeutical products contributed to the health registration of them, enriching the therapeutic arsenal for the treatment of patients with cancer in Santiago de Cuba, with a high social impact.
