There are about 1129 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Estonia. 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.
In studies of Exubera in persons with diabetes, lung cancer occurred in a few more people who were taking Exubera than in people who were taking other diabetes medicines. All subjects diagnosed with lung cancer had a history of smoking and the number of lung cancer cases observed fell within the expected range based on population-based data. There is currently not enough information to determine if any of the observed lung cancer cases were related to Exubera use, therefore, the study is being conducted to further investigate whether Exubera use makes the appearance of lung cancer more likely.
To evaluate the overall effectiveness of aripiprazole intramuscular (IM) depot as maintenance treatment in patients with schizophrenia.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 3 fixed doses of JNJ-37822681 compared with placebo (an inactive substance that is compared with a drug to test if the drug has a real effect in a clinical trial) after 6 weeks treatment and olanzapine after 12 weeks treatment in participants with schizophrenia (psychiatric disorder with symptoms of emotional instability, detachment from reality, often with delusions and hallucinations, and withdrawal into the self).
A randomized, double-blind, clinical trial to assess the safety and efficacy of two doses of oral cladribine versus placebo in participants who had a first clinical demyelinating event (clinically isolated syndrome). Participants in either the cladribine or placebo group may also enter treatment periods with open-label interferon-beta or open-label cladribine depending upon the disease status. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of two dosage regimens of oral cladribine versus placebo on the time to conversion to multiple sclerosis (MS) (from randomization) according to the Poser criteria in participants with first clinical demyelinating event at high risk of converting to MS.
The chronic widespread pain (CWP) and fibromyalgia (FM) cause serious discomfort, but at the same time they are not life threatening and they cannot be detected by any laboratory tests. The problems connected with these conditions have gained little attention in Estonia so far. It can be assumed that the CWP and FM often remain undetected and the sufferers live without treatment they need. So far, there are no data on the prevalence of the CWP and FM in Estonia available. The goal of the current research is to assess the prevalence of the CWP and local pain syndromes among Estonia's RA patients and among the control population in Tallinn and Harju County; also the factors connected with the presence of the pain and the pain treatment in use. At the same time there will be a similarly designed research conducted in Jyväskylä Central Hospital, which provides the opportunity to compare results in Estonia's and Finland's research groups. The study on the distribution of the chronic pain among RA patients and control population will allow to assess the magnitude of the problem in Estonia and to raise the awareness of physicians about CWP and significance of its treatment. Performing the study will provide an experience which forms the base for further epidemiological and clinical research on CWP and FM
The primary objective was to compare the efficacy of Semuloparin sodium (AVE5026) with Enoxaparin for the prevention of Venous Thromboembolic Events [VTE] in patients undergoing elective knee replacement surgery. The secondary objectives were to evaluate the safety of AVE5026 in patients undergoing elective knee replacement surgery, and to document AVE5026 exposure in this population.
Amonafide is a DNA intercalating agent and inhibitor of topoisomerase II that has been extensively studied in patients with malignant solid tumors. Amonafide has also been studied in patients with AML. The purpose of this study is to assess the relative efficacy and safety of amonafide in combination with cytarabine compared to daunorubicin with cytarabine in subjects with documented secondary AML.
The primary objective was to compare the efficacy of once daily [q.d] subcutaneous [s.c.] injections of Semuloparin sodium (AVE5026) with q.d. s.c. injections of Enoxaparin for the primary prevention of Venous Thromboembolic Events [VTE] in patients hospitalized for acute medical illness. The secondary objectives were to evaluate the safety of AVE5026 and to document AVE5026 exposure in this population.
The study is designed to investigate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of SB-742457 versus placebo in subjects with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease. SB-742457 is an experimental treatment which increases the levels of certain chemicals in the brain that are often decreased in patients with Alzheimer's disease.
The purpose of the this trial is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of an intramuscular (IM) depot formulation of aripiprazole as maintenance treatment in patients with schizophrenia The trial is designed into three treatment phases. Phase 1 is designed to allow for a subject to be converted from the current anti-psychotic treatment to oral non-generic aripiprazole monotherapy (oral conversion phase from 4 to 6 weeks). During Phase 2 the subject will be stabilized on oral non-generic aripiprazole monotherapy. Once the subject is stabilized in Phase 2 (oral stabilization phase from minimum 8 weeks to maximum 28 weeks), they are eligible to be randomized into the double-blind IM depot maintenance phase, Phase 3. During Phase 3, the subject will be assessed for exacerbation of psychotic symptoms and impending relapse for up to 38 weeks.
