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.
This is an observational, multi-center, international disease registry designed to collect longitudinal data and create a knowledge base that will be utilized to improve the care and treatment of patients with LAL Deficiency. Participation in the Registry by both physicians and patients is voluntary.
The purpose of the RELIEF study is to compare symptoms in polycythemia vera (PV) subjects treated with ruxolitinib versus subjects treated with hydroxyurea (HU) as measured by the percent of subjects who achieve a clinically meaningful symptom improvement (ie, total symptom score reduction of ≥ 50% reduction) at Week 16 compared to Baseline. The study is also designed to demonstrate that these responses are durable with continued treatment.
The purpose of this study is to determine if treatment is effective in preventing fractures in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis.
When women with diabetes become pregnant it is particularly important to control blood sugar levels to prevent complications. Women are advised to test their blood glucose levels seven times a day and to attend antenatal and diabetes clinics every 1-2 weeks throughout the pregnancy. For those living in rural areas in the North and West of Ireland getting to a hospital specialising in the management of diabetes and pregnancy on such a regular basis can be a challenge. Telemonitoring provides a possible solution to this problem by allowing patients to monitor their vital signs at home and transmit the information via telephone to their healthcare provider. If women could be safely monitored remotely for every other appointment it would mean that they would only need to visit the hospital once a month on a routine basis but with the option of attending the hospital if the remote telemonitoring indicated that this were necessary. The aim of this study is to assess the feasibility and the acceptability of using remote telemonitoring facilities between antenatal women with gestational diabetes and the diabetes team and the possibility of replacing alternate diabetic review clinics with remote telemonitoring. In addition this study will explore the feasibility of running a full randomised control trial of this topic. Women will be asked to monitor their blood sugar levels seven times a day which is part of usual care. However those in the remote telemonitoring group will be asked to measure their blood sugar using a meter that can transmit the results via a telephone line and to transmit them weekly. They will also be asked to measure their blood pressure and weight weekly and to download these results weekly for a health care professional to review. These results will be reviewed on a weekly basis by a health care professional who will contact the patient if necessary to discuss the results. Women will be followed-up from the date of diagnosis through to delivery. Both staff and patients will be asked to give their views on the safety and acceptability of remote telemonitoring through questionnaires, focus groups or interviews. The management decisions made on reviewing the intervention group in clinic and reviewing remote telemonitoring results will also be recorded. In order for remote telemonitoring to be a viable replacement for clinic review it must allow health care professionals to make comparable management decisions. Clinical data will be collected in order to provide descriptive statistics for those who take part and to ensure that this information could be collected in any future Randomised Control Trial (RCT) looking at this topic.
This phase IV study is an open, prospective, single-center, single-surgeon bilateral eye study to investigate the bilateral uncorrected intermediate visual acuity of presbyopic hyperopic patients, who have been treated with Presbyopia Algorithm SUPRACOR.
The investigators wish to accumulate initial data on the performance and safety of the Baska mask in paediatric patient population.
The investigators group has performed a number of studies on novel airway devices, including an observational study on the performance of a new supraglottic airway named Baska mask. In this new study the investigators wish to determine which criteria best predict the correct size of the Baska mask to be used in male patients
The purpose of the study is to collect long-term safety data from subjects with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) exposed to dexpramipexole.
The aim of this extension trial is to assess the long-term safety of BIBF 1120 treatment in patients with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis who have completed one year treatment and the follow up period in the double-blind phase III placebo controlled parent trials (1199.32 and 1199.34), who wish to continue treatment with BIBF 1120.
This study is a prospective, interventional, open-label, multi-center early access program for the use of Ra-223 Cl2 in HRPC/CRPC (Hormone refractory prostate cancer / Castrate resistant prostate cancer) patients diagnosed with bone metastasis and to collect additional short and long term safety data on the product.
