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.
Fibromyalgia is a common cause of widespread musculoskeletal pain. The investigators have found that our patients seem to benefit from a soft tissue physical therapy called neurostructural integration therapy (NST). The purpose of this study was to compare NST to hydrotherapy which is already used to manage fibromyalgia symptoms.
An Open-label Extension Study in Patients 65 Years or Older with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) or Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma (SLL) Who Participated in Study PCYC-1115-CA (Ibrutinib versus Chlorambucil)
Primary Objective: The primary aim of the study is: 1.To identify and validate a panel of molecular and cytogenetic biomarkers able to predict Durable Complete Response (DCR) after chemotherapy and trastuzumab in patients with HER2-positive locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer. Secondary Objective: The secondary aims of the study are: 1. To perform a comprehensive exploration of the molecular and cytogenetic characteristics of DCR patients to identify any possible correlation between the tumour's biological and cytogenetic characteristics and the degree of clinical response to trastuzumab; 2. To produce data in preparation for further translational studies on HER2-positive breast cancer.
To identify a panel of circulating miRNA markers which could help identify those breast cancer patients who are most likely to respond well to neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy, and indeed serve as an overall prognostic factor and stratify patients into risk categories which would further guide their management. Similarly, the investigators aim to identify a panel of circulating miRNA markers which could monitor patient's response to chemotherapy and hormonal therapies. Ideally a suitable panel of markers would show significant changes in expression level in good-responders whilst little or no change would be observed in miRNA expression in non-responders.
A Randomized, Multicenter, Open-label, Phase 3 Study of the Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor PCI-32765 versus Chlorambucil in Patients 65 Years or Older with Treatment-naive Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia or Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma.
The aim of this study is to determine prospectively the value of a recently identified proteomic signature in identifying those patients with lung cancer, who are likely to benefit from and respond favourably to erlotinib therapy. This is a prospective study of serum proteomics as a predictor of response to erlotinib therapy.
This study is designed to demonstrate safety and efficacy in patients with severe upper lobe predominant emphysema. For validity of the study, the results will be compared to patients that receive optimal medical therapy.
This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of two trough-ranges of everolimus given as adjunctive therapy in patients with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) who had refractory partial-onset seizures. The study consisted of 4 phases for each patient Baseline phase:[From Screening Week -8 (V1) to randomization visit at Week 0 (V2)], Core phase [from randomization at Week 0 (V2) to Week 18 (V11)], Extension phase [from Week 18 (V11) until 48 weeks after the last patient had completed the core phase] and Post Extension phase [from end of Extension phase to end of study].
The primary purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy and to generate PK and biomarker data for the combination of pomalidomide and low-dose dexamethasone in patients with refractory or relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma. The study consists of a Screening phase within 28 days prior to cycle 1 day 1, a Treatment phase and a Follow-up phase which starts within 28 days of discontinuation from study treatment, every 3 months for up to 5 years. In addition, the collection of steady-state PK data from a large population will enable robust population PK and assess Pomalidomide exposure response analyses. The exploratory objectives of the study are to investigate potential markers predictive of POM response or resistance and pharmacodynamic markers.
Whilst oxaliplatin and docetaxel have established activity in the treatment of advanced gastro-oesophageal cancer, their role, however, in the management of this disease remains unclear. Furthermore it is unclear whether this disease is optimally treated with a combination of two or three cytotoxic drugs. This trial aims to determine whether the combination of oxaliplatin and weekly docetaxel warrants further investigation in a formal phase III trial. The combination of epirubicin, oxaliplatin and capecitabine will be the comparator arm for this evaluation. Primary Objective: Determine in a randomised study if the response rate to docetaxel and oxaliplatin (ElTax) is comparable to epirubicin, oxaliplatin and capecitabine (EOX) and warrants further evaluation in advanced gastro-oesophageal cancer. Secondary Objective: To examine the effect of treatment on time to progression, progression free survival, overall survival, quality of life, and the associated toxicity from treatment.
