There are about 1439 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Croatia. 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 establish the safety and effectiveness of pulsed field ablation as a first-line ablation treatment for subjects with persistent atrial fibrillation as compared to subjects who received an initial treatment with anti-arrhythmic drugs.
Cardiology Research Dubrava registry is a prospective, single centre registry including patients with acute coronary syndrome with and without ST segment elevation, patients with heart failure who were prescribed with SGLT-2 inhibitors, patients implanted with TAVI, patients with venous thromboembolism, patients with pulmonary embolism who underwent thromboaspiration procedure, patients implanted with ICD, CRT and conduction system pacing devices, as well as patients with atrial fibrillation who underwent pulmonary vein isolation and are prescribed with long-term anticoagulation therapy.
The study will look at how well CagriSema helps people lower their blood sugar and body weight. CagriSema is a new weekly medicine that combines two medicines called semaglutide and cagrilintide. CagriSema will be compared to the two medicines semaglutide and cagrilintide, when they are taken alone. CagriSema will also be compared to a "dummy" medicine without any active ingredient. The study will be done in participants who have type 2 diabetes. Participants will take the study medicine together with the current diabetes medicine (metformin with or without an SGLT2 inhibitor).
Surgical stress after major abdominal surgery in perioperative period causes neuroendocrine, metabolic and imunologic changes in organism with production of proinfflamatory citokines and results with appearance of systemic infflammmatory response syndrome (SIRS). Dysregulated and overrated SIRS in early postoperative period can lead to complications with additional comorbidities, longer hospital stay and poorer outcome. A low grade chronic infflammatory state in obesity and hypoadiponectinemia can enable the cytokine storm and exaggerated /dysregulated SIRS in obese patients after surgery. Obesity according to this knowledge presents independent risk factor for developing more severe systemic infflamatory response syndrome in early postoperative period after major abdominal surgery. Hypothesis: Lower blood adiponectin levels are associated with higher systemic infflamatory response in patients after major abdominal surgery. Major aim of this study is to investigate correlation between perioperative blood levels of adiponectin and markers of systemic infflamation in patients after major abdominal surgery.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy, safety, and immunogenicity of ABP 206 compared with Nivolumab in Subjects with Treatment-Naïve Unresectable or Metastatic Melanoma.
The goal of this prospective, randomized, double-blinded, head-to-head comparative study is to compare the efficacy of ultrasound-guided 4 ml 5% dextrose perineural injection versus 3 ml 5% dextrose with 1 ml 40 mg/ml methylprednisolone perineural injection in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). The main questions it aims to answer are: Is there a difference in efficacy between interventions regarding 1. pain alleviation, 2. improvement in symptoms severity and functional status, 3. improvement in grip strength, 4. size of median nerve cross-sectional area, and 5. improvement in quality of life during the six-month post-intervention follow-up period?
The goal of this intervention study is to determine the effect of occlusal splint (OS) therapy on the concentration of inflammatory cytokines in serum and gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) in patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMDs). Aims are: - to determine cytokines level in GCF and serum before and after OS therapy - to determine the degree of psychosocial dysfunction and oral health-related quality of life before and after OS therapy - investigate the correlation between cytokines level in GCF and serum - to determine the effect of OS on treatment outcomes, pain intensity, dysfunction, and psychosocial status of patients with painful TMD. Participants will be asked to complete self-assessment questionnaires, and GCF and blood samples will be collected before beginning of the OS therapy and at follow-up examinations one month and two months after.
The impact of the complex liver immunological network on sepsis outcome is largely unknown. Steatotic liver disease (SLD) is the most common chronic liver disease with prevalence of 25% in European countries. The question remains whether patients with SLD are more prone to bacterial infections and what is the impact of persistent liver inflammation to the systemic response to infection, sepsis course and outcomes. Semaphorins are a large family of secreted and membrane-bound biological response modifiers present in many organ systems that are associated with SLD and development of fibrosis, but also might regulate systemic immune responses in sepsis. This study will investigate the association of semaphorins with sepsis outcomes in patients with SLD.
In addition to the regular ASA classification, patients would also be assigned the Clinical frailty scale (CFS) during preoperative examinations in anesthesiology clinics. The aim is to compare the usefulness of ASA and CFS categorization for predicting perioperative and postoperative complications and length of postoperative stay in elective surgeries.
The aim is to identify the underlying disease mechanisms driving specific asthma phenotypes as well as certain disease outcomes and their relation to impaired indoor air quality. This may also help in underpinning specific target mechanisms in order to personalize and improve current treatment options in childhood asthma and develop more successful prevention strategies. This will be done by combining data from detailed clinical phenotyping with multiple -omics data.
