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 purpose of this study is to confirm the efficacy and safety of rostaporfin (PHOTREX) photodynamic therapy (PDT) in the treatment of classic and occult subfoveal choroidal neovascularization (CNV) associated with age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
Phase 3 , open-label, randomized study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Lilly/Alkermes inhaled insulin system compared to injected insulin in type 1 and type 2 diabetes patients with asthma or COPD. Patients will be treated for 12 months with a 2 month follow up period.
Drugs used against cancer work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as cetuximab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Giving combination chemotherapy together with cetuximab as first treatment after diagnosis of a metastatic colorectal cancer ('1st-line' treatment) may improve the treatment efficacy. However, it is not yet known whether giving combination chemotherapy together with cetuximab is more effective than combination chemotherapy alone. This open-label trial investigates the effectiveness of cetuximab in combination with a standard and effective chemotherapy (5-Fluorouracil (5FU)/Folinic acid (FA) plus irinotecan) for metastatic colorectal cancer in first-line setting, compared to the same chemotherapy alone on patient expressing the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor. Patients expressing this EGF Receptor will be randomly assign in one of the 2 groups to either receive the combination chemotherapy alone or with cetuximab (open-label study) and will then be treated until progression of the disease or unacceptable toxicity occur. Regular efficacy assessments (every 8 weeks) based on imaging will be performed throughout the study together with regular safety assessments (e.g. safety labs). An independent Safety Board of experts will also monitor safety data. After participant discontinuation from the trial, regular updates on further treatments and survival status will be requested from the investigator. The entire study (from the first patient entering the study to the last collect of follow-up information) is 4-5 years long.
Patients will be assigned to one of three treatment groups. Study medication is administered over a 52 week study duration.
The purpose of this trial is to investigate the efficacy of cetuximab in combination with chemotherapy in comparison to chemotherapy alone in patients with advanced non small cell lung cancer who did not received prior chemotherapy. Overall survival will be taken as primary measure of efficacy.
Corlux (mifepristone) is a new medication that modulates the body's use of a hormone called cortisol. Under normal conditions, cortisol and other hormones are created by the body in response to physical and emotional stress, triggering a healthy stress response. People who suffer from psychotic major depression may have unusually high levels of cortisol circulating within them or abnormal patterns of cortisol levels, overloading the stress response mechanism and causing symptoms of psychosis such as delusional thoughts or hallucinations. If Corlux can keep the body's cortisol receptors from being overloaded, the stress response system may return to normal function, which may result in improvement of symptoms. The purpose of this 56 day study is to learn the safety and effectiveness of Corlux in patients who have been diagnosed with psychotic major depression (PMD).
This study is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, parallel group study of a seven-week ascending dose period of SLV308 adjunctive to L-dopa treatment in patients with advanced stage Parkinson's disease (PD) and dose-dependent motor fluctuations. Patients (outpatients) will be randomized to one of three different treatment arms.
The primary objective of this protocol is to provide access to SU011248 treatment for patients with metastatic RCC who are ineligible for participation in ongoing SU011248 clinical studies and have the potential to derive clinical benefit from treatment with SU011248 based on the judgment of the investigator.
The primary objective of this study was to compare the safety and efficacy of motavizumab to palivizumab when administered monthly by intramuscular (IM) injection for the reduction of the incidence of RSV hospitalization among children at high risk for serious RSV disease. A secondary objective was to compare the incidence of medically-attended lower respiratory infections (LRIs) between treatment groups.
Corlux (mifepristone) is a new medication that modulates the body's use of a hormone called cortisol. Under normal conditions, cortisol and other hormones are created by the body in response to physical and emotional stress, triggering a healthy stress response. People who suffer from psychotic major depression may have unusually high levels of cortisol circulating within them or abnormal patterns of cortisol levels, overloading the stress response mechanism and causing symptoms of psychosis such as delusional thoughts or hallucinations. If Corlux can keep the body's cortisol receptors from being overloaded, the stress response system may return to normal function, which may result in improvement of symptoms. The purpose of this study is to allow patients who have already participated in an earlier 8 week study of Corlux versus placebo (an inactive pill) to receive additional courses of treatment with Corlux periodically if a psychotic episode should reappear during a period of one year.
