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 role of this study is to focus on the potential role of abiraterone acetate in treatment-naive patients newly diagnosed with high-risk localised prostate cancer requiring combined hormonal therapy and radiotherapy.
A Multicentre Clinical Evaluation of a Decision Support Algorithm for Neonatal Seizure Detection: ANSeR
Eltrombopag olamine (SB-497115-GR) is an orally bioavailable, small molecule thrombopoietin receptor agonist that may be beneficial in medical disorders associated with thrombocytopenia. Eltrombopag has been shown to increase platelet counts in patients with thrombocytopenia from various etiologies (Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura [ITP], liver disease, aplastic anemia and chemotherapy induced thrombocytopenia). Approximately 350 subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio (175 into the eltrombopag arm and 175 into the placebo arm). Approximately 55 subjects will be enrolled into the azacitidine. Subjects with intermediate-1, intermediate-2 or high risk MDS by IPSS, and baseline platelet count of <75 Giga (10^9) per liter (Gi/L) will only be enrolled. This is a randomized, double-blind, parallel group, placebo-controlled study designed to explore the platelet supportive care effects of eltrombopag versus placebo in combination with the standard of care hypomethylating agent, azacitidine. The primary objective of this study is to determine the effect of eltrombopag versus placebo on the proportion of subjects who are platelet transfusion free during the first 4 cycles of azacitidine therapy. Key secondary endpoints include overall survival, disease response, and disease progression.
The purpose of this study is to determine the rate and frequency of high-grade (CTCAE v4.0 Grade 3 or higher), treatment-related, select adverse events in subjects with histologically confirmed stage III (unresectable) or stage IV melanoma and progression post prior treatment containing an anti-Cytotoxic T Lymphocyte Antigen (CTLA-4) monoclonal antibody, treated with Nivolumab (BMS-936558) at a dose of 3 mg/kg every two weeks.
The study aims to compare the incidence of acute grade 2 GI toxicity in the Control 3-D Conformal Radiotherapy compared to the Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT) arm for locally advanced rectal cancer.
This study aims to determine if different diabetes treatments have different effects on inflammation; in particular, kidney inflammation. This type of inflammation is common in people with diabetes, and can lead to kidney failure. This study will investigate the effect of different types of diabetes treatment on kidney inflammation. This will help us to decide if certain types of medicine should be preferred in people with evidence of inflammation in their kidneys, as this may help prevent major complications including kidney failure.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether individual cognitive functional therapy (CFT), when compared to group exercise classes is effective in reducing pain and disability in patients with non-specific chronic low back pain.
Part 2 of the study will assess the effect of 2g of NWT-03 (an egg-white protein hydrolysate) on systolic and diastolic blood pressure and flow-mediated dilation in a crossover designed study in healthy adults with mild hypertension.
The purpose of this study is to confirm long term efficacy and safety of the ProdigyTM neuromodulation system in the management of failed back surgery syndrome or chronic intractable pain of the trunk and/or limbs.
The primary aim of this feasibility study is to evaluate the feasibility of delivering a PRT programme in an inpatient older person rehabilitation setting and to describe changes in lower limb strength and physical function following six weeks of resistance training and routine physiotherapy versus a control group of routine physiotherapy only in an older inpatient population.
