There are about 2700 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Bulgaria. 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 primary purpose of this Phase 2 study is to optimize Plasmin delivery by comparing different delivery regimens in patients with peripheral arterial occlusion. The study includes a blinded plasminogen activator treatment group and a blinded plasminogen activator placebo group. The study will also assess safety and tolerability of Plasmin at 150 and 250 mg doses.
A Phase III, multicentre, randomised, double blind, placebo-controlled study in subjects having anal fissure (AF) with AF-related pain. Subjects will undertake a 1-week screening period to provide baseline data and for assessment of eligibility. At the Baseline visit (Week 0), eligible subjects (having an average Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) score of >4 for worst pain associated with or following defaecation) will be randomised on a 1:1:1 basis to one of the three treatment groups. Subjects will receive diltiazem hydrochloride 2% cream or diltiazem hydrochloride 4% cream or placebo cream. Study treatment will be applied in and around the anus, three times daily, for up to 8 weeks. Following the Week 0 Visit, subjects will be contacted by telephone during Week 1 to ensure adequate compliance with study treatment, to ensure that study drug is being tolerated and that any concomitant medications are used at a level consistent with that prior to randomisation. Subjects will return to the clinic for safety and efficacy assessments at Weeks 2, 4, and 8 and receive a follow-up telephone call at Week 12, following cessation of therapy. Concomitant laxatives and stool softeners will be permitted, as needed, during the entire study period (screening and treatment) to ensure that constipation or passage of hard stools does not confound evaluation or improvement of the condition. Fibre supplements will be allowed but should be continued at the baseline level. Instructions on the use of the Interactive Voice Response System (IVRS) diary will be issued to subjects to record fissure-related pain (NRS) and bowel symptoms daily during the 1-week screening period, to confirm eligibility and post-randomisation to record worst anal pain associated with or following defaecation (NRS) and daily overall AF-related pain (NRS). A record of the number of times the subject has defaecated, laxative and analgesic usage will also be made as well as the number of applications of study treatment, any changes to concurrent medications and any Adverse Events (AEs). In addition, at some or all study visits, subjects will record the Patient's Global Impression of Improvement (PGI-I) on a 7 point Likert scale, complete a Short Form 36 (SF-36) quality of life questionnaire and will undergo examination of their AF. Routine blood samples will be taken and the Skin Irritation Score (SIS) recorded for safety evaluations. Subjects may receive permitted medications for pain per Entry Criteria, but these should remain stable, where possible, up to the Week 8 Visit. Introduction of any new medication for AF will not be permitted unless the Investigator deems "rescue" intervention necessary. A subject will be deemed a treatment failure if rescue intervention is required and will have to be withdrawn from the study. Any subject leaving the study following randomisation for any reason will be asked to complete the Early Withdrawal Visit. This includes subjects who withdraw due to the development of AEs or intolerance, as well as subjects who require rescue intervention. These subjects will return for safety follow-up visits at their previously scheduled follow-up assessment appointments. If complete healing has occurred at the 2 or 4 Week visits, (i.e. prior to the end of the 8-week treatment period), subjects will be asked to continue applying the medication for the full 8 week course, up to the final assessment. Following the Week 8 visit (or Early Withdrawal Visit), subjects will be followed up for a further 4 weeks (following cessation of study medication) to note any AEs. All routine blood analyses (haematology and biochemistry) and plasma levels of diltiazem and of its principal metabolites will be analysed by central laboratories.
Trafermin is a recombinant human basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF; original development code, KCB-1), which is manufactured by genetic engineering using Escherichia coli by Kaken Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (Tokyo, Japan). Trafermin 0.01% cutaneous spray product kit consisting of a glass bottle containing lyophilized trafermin, a glass bottle with solvent for solution and a spray part to fit the glass bottle after reconstitution of the final product. We conduct a multinational, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, parallel-group, multicentre study consisting of a placebo run-in phase (2w), a treatment phase (max. 12w) and a follow-up phase (3mo+6mo). The primary objective of the study is to demonstrate a superior wound closure rate of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) of neuropathic origin after a maximum of 12 weeks topical daily application of trafermin 0.01% spray compared with placebo, in addition to best local care (off-loading, dressings). Approximately 210 patients will be randomized and it is planned that this study will be conducted at approximately 40 investigational sites in Europe.
The primary purpose of this study is to help answer if LY2127399 is safe and effective during long-term treatment in participants with Rheumatoid Arthritis. This study is comprised of 2 periods: Period 1: Unblinded treatment for up to 240 weeks for participants who enroll from Study H9B-MC-BCDO (BCDO) (NCT01202760) or Study H9B-MC-BCDV (BCDV) (NCT01202773) or up to 168 weeks for participants who enroll from Study H9B-MC-BCDM (BCDM) (NCT01198002). Period 2: 48-week post-treatment follow-up
The purpose of the study is to investigate the tolerability and safety of AZD2423 in Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether apremilast is safe and effective in the treatment of patients with psoriatic arthritis. Apremilast is proposed to improve signs and symptoms of psoriatic arthritis (tender and swollen joints, pain, physical function) in treated patients.
This is a Phase 1b/2 study. In Phase 1b, subjects will know the treatment they are receiving. Subjects will receive Erlotinib + U3-1287. The Phase 1b portion will determine if adding U3-1287 to Erlotinib will be safe in subjects with advanced non-small cell lung cancer who fail prior treatment. In the Phase 2 portion, subjects will be blinded to the treatments they are receiving. Subjects will receive either Erlotinib alone or Erlotinib + U3-1287. The Phase 2 portion will determine if adding U3-1287 to Erlotinib will be safe and improve survival in subjects with advanced non-small cell lung cancer who failed the first treatment.
This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of RoActemra/Actemra (tocilizumab) in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) who have failed treatment with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and are naïve to tumor necrsos factor (TNF) antagonist therapy. In Part 1 of the study, patients will be randomized to receive either RoActemra/Actemra 8 mg/kg intravenously (IV) or placebo every 4 weeks for 12 weeks. In Part 2, patients will be randomized to receive RoActemra at either 8 mg/kg or 4 mg/kg IV or placebo every 4 weeks for 24 weeks. The double-blind treatment period will be followed by open-label treatment with RoActemra/Actemra 8 mg/kg iv every 4 weeks until Week 208 for all patients. Anticipated time on study treatment is 208 weeks.
This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluated the safety and efficacy of tocilizumab (RoActemra/Actemra) in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) who had an inadequate response to previous tumor necrosis factor (TNF) antagonist therapy. Patients were randomized to receive tocilizumab at a dose of either 8 mg/kg or 4 mg/kg intravenously (iv) or placebo every 4 weeks for 24 weeks. The double-blind treatment period was followed by open-label treatment with tocilizumab 8 mg/kg iv every 4 weeks until Week 104 for all patients. This study and all further clinical development of tocilizumab AS was halted after a review of 12-week data from Study NA22823, a randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled study in TNF antagonist naïve AS patients, failed to demonstrate efficacy.
