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.
Multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of abatacept to achieve sustained glucocorticoid-free remission in patients with relapsing non-severe granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Wegener's) (GPA) . Participants will be randomized 1:1 to receive either abatacept 125 mg or placebo administered by subcutaneous injection once a week. Participants will continue on study treatment for a minimum of 12 months unless they experience a disease relapse or disease flare. Participants who experience a non-severe disease relapse, non-severe disease worsening, or who have not achieved remission by month 6 will have the option of entering an open-label trial period whereby they would receive open-label abatacept.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the addition of veliparib plus carboplatin and paclitaxel versus the addition of placebo plus carboplatin and paclitaxel in adults with advanced or metastatic squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Cryotherapy has a long history of safe use in various medical procedures. RejuvenAir System radial spray cryotherapy is a novel procedure being developed as a treatment for conditions associated with abnormal bronchial function, such as chronic bronchitis. The development of appropriate reliable equipment, definition of therapeutic parameters, and an understanding of the tissue effects of treatment have been established through animal studies. This clinical study is being undertaken to assess the feasibility and safety of the application of a radial metered dose spray cryotherapy in the human airway and to evaluate the treatment depth in human airways. The study design is prospective, open label, single arm multi-center study that will consist of up to 15 subjects at up to 3 enrolling sites in Ireland, UK and The Netherlands RejuvenAir System treatment will be performed during preoperative bronchoscopy 0 to 60 days prior to prescheduled lung resection in Subjects requiring lobectomy or pneumonectomy for removal of peripheral tumors. Treatment will be limited to areas of the bronchi within the lobe that will be removed, distal to the anticipated margin of resection. Treatment should be at least 1 cm from the bronchial resection margins and away from the tumor bed. Treated airways will be inspected via bronchoscopy at the time of thoracotomy, and examined histologically following surgical resection. Subject participation will be from 1 to 60 days and enrollment is anticipated to take 4-5 months.Total study duration is expected to last approximately 10 months.
Evaluate the reversal of the anticoagulant effects of dabigatran by IV administration of 5.0g idarucizumab in patients treated with dabigatran etexilate who have uncontrolled bleeding or require emergency surgery or procedures.
This Phase II, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study will evaluate the effects of lebrikizumab on airway eosinophilic inflammation in participants with uncontrolled asthma who are using inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) treatment and a second controller medication. Enrolled participants will undergo a 3-week screening period during which assessments, including a bronchoscopy procedure, will be made. Participants will subsequently be randomized to receive lebrikizumab or placebo by subcutaneous (SC) injection on Day 1, Day 8, Week 4, and Week 8. Participants will continue their standard of care therapy throughout the study. End of treatment assessments will be taken at Week 12. Total study period, including screening and follow-up, is expected to last 23 weeks.
This study will assess the long-term safety and efficacy of repeating treatment with MabThera, in combination with methotrexate and steroids, in patients who were previously randomized into MabThera study WA17042. The anticipated time on study treatment is until Mabthera is available on the local market and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.
Primary Objective: To quantify the benefits of the SENATOR decision support software on the reduction of ADR rates in older hospitalized patients. Secondary Objectives: To evaluate the effect of SENATOR with regard to use of appropriate non‐pharmacological therapies in subjects with one core geriatric syndrome. Tertiary Objectives: to examine the association of SENATOR use with subject survival, morbidity and health related quality of life. Health Economic Objective: To examine the potential health economic consequences of using SENATOR. There are two study phases: Phase I: Prospective multinational, multicentre observational study to estimate the baseline adjudicated medical and surgical ADR rates by clinical subspeciality in 6 international sites. Phase II: Prospective multinational, multicentre, block randomized, two parallel arm, open label, controlled trial, with blinded outcome ascertainment, of the efficacy of SENATOR software in reducing ADRs in older hospitalized subjects.
Major vascular surgery involves operations to repair swollen blood vessels, clear debris from blocked arteries or bypass blocked blood vessels. Patients with these problems are a high-risk surgical group as they have generalized blood vessel disease. These puts them at risk of major complications around the time of surgery such as heart attacks , strokes and death. The mortality following repair of a swollen main artery in the abdomen is about 1 in 20. This contrasts poorly with the 1 per 100 risk of death following a heart bypass. Simple and cost-effective methods are needed to reduce the risks of major vascular surgery. Remote ischaemic preconditioning (RIPC) may be such a technique. To induce RIPC, the blood supply to muscle in the patient's arm is interrupted for about 5 minutes. It is then restored for a further five minutes. This cycle is repeated three more times. The blood supply is interrupted simply by inflating a blood pressure cuff to maximum pressure. This repeated brief interruption of the muscular blood supply sends signals to critical organs such as the brain and heart, which are rendered temporarily resistant to damage from reduced blood supply. Several small randomized clinical trials in patients undergoing different types of major vascular surgery have demonstrated a potential benefit. This large, multi-centre trial aims to determine whether RIPC can reduce complications in routine practice.
This is an international, multicenter, open-label study to assess the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of rVIII-SingleChain in pediatric patients with severe hemophilia A. A minimum of 25 previously treated subjects ≥ 6 to < 12 years of age and at least 25 subjects < 6 years of age who have undergone > 50 exposure days (EDs) with a previous Factor VIII (FVIII) product are planned to be enrolled. Subjects will be assigned to either an on-demand or prophylaxis treatment regimen for the treatment of bleeding episodes and will receive rVIII-SingleChain at a dose to be determined by the investigator. Hemostatic efficacy will be assessed by the subject/caregiver and the investigator who will assess overall efficacy by a 4-point scale.
In accordance with the regulatory guidance this registry has been designed to collect information about the long-term safety of Adempas in real clinical practice outside the regulated environment of a controlled clinical study.
