There are about 2333 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Ireland. 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 was to evaluate the efficacy of SKP FlutiForm HFA MDI compared to placebo or fluticasone and formoterol administered concurrently or alone in asthma patients.
The addition of entinostat to an AI will result in a maximal abrogation of estrogen receptor-α mediated activity and inhibit mechanisms of resistance to the aromatase inhibitor. It is hypothesized that entinostat with continued AI will increase the estimated AI clinical benefit rate (CBR) from 5% to 25% with an acceptable safety profile.
A prospective, Phase II, stratified, randomized study to compare the safety, ulcer healing, patient compliance (concordance) and resource utilisation of a compression device with IPC mode to a Class 3(c) UK standard graduated compression regime (4- layer system) on subjects with venous leg ulcers.
The purpose of this study is to compare 2 single doses of ivermectin as tablets with 2 single applications of malathion 0.5% lotion (Days 1 and 8) in clearing head lice, in patients who have recently used standard head lice treatments without success.
RATIONALE: Bortezomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as doxorubicin and dexamethasone, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) together with bortezomib may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving bortezomib together with doxorubicin and dexamethasone works in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has relapsed or not responded to treatment. PATIENT POPULATION: Patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma requiring therapy will be invited to participate in this study. Eligible patients will be >18 years old and able to give fully informed consent. Patients must have a Performance Score (PS) of 0-3 (ECOG), measurable serum and/or urine paraprotein, or serum free light chain, bilirubin value of less than one and a half times the upper limit of normal with ALT/AST values less than two and a half times the upper limit of normal. Patients with non-secretory multiple myeloma are excluded from this study.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as fludarabine and cyclophosphamide, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, can block cancer growth in different ways. Some block the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Others find cancer cells and help kill them or carry cancer-killing substances to them. Giving fludarabine together with cyclophosphamide and rituximab may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying giving fludarabine together with cyclophosphamide and rituximab to see how well it works in treating patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
RATIONALE: Nilotinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well nilotinib works in treating patients with newly diagnosed chronic phase chronic myelogenous leukemia.
The trial will be performed to evaluate if BIBF 1120 in combination with standard pemetrexed therapy is more effective than placebo (inactive capsule) plus standard pemetrexed therapy in patients with stage IIIB, IV or recurrent NSCLC. Safety information about BIBF1120/pemetrexed will be obtained.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety of Humira® in Adult Patients with Chronic Plaque Psoriasis (Ps).
Inflammation and fibrosis may be important contributors to worsening heart failure. As well as lowering cholesterol, statins are also known to reduce inflammatory markers such as C-reactive protein which are elevated in severe heart failure. Therefore, this project will evaluate the benefit, if any, of statins on markers of heart structure and function, on inflammatory markers and markers of fibrosis in patients with normal cholesterol.
