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 purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ivacaftor in subjects with cystic fibrosis aged 6 to 11 years who have the G551D mutation in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. Ivacaftor is a potent and selective potentiator of wild-type, G551D, F508del, and R117H forms of human CFTR protein. Potentiators are pharmacological agents that increase the chloride ion transport properties of the channel in the presence of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (AMP)-dependent protein kinase A (PKA) activation.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ivacaftor in subjects with cystic fibrosis aged 12 years and older who have the G551D mutation in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. Ivacaftor is a potent and selective CFTR potentiator of wild-type, G551D, F508del, and R117H forms of human CFTR protein. Potentiators are pharmacological agents that increase the chloride ion transport properties of the channel in the presence of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA) activation.
The purpose of this research is to determine the relationship between proteins and enzymes in the blood and how they work with platelets to form blood clots in patients with coronary artery disease. The investigators hypothesize that the relationship between these factors could potentially be useful in identifying patients at higher risk for heart attacks.
RATIONALE: Studying samples of blood in the laboratory from patients with cancer receiving dactinomycin may help doctors learn how dactinomycin works in the body and how patients will respond to treatment. PURPOSE: This laboratory study is evaluating the pharmacokinetics of dactinomycin in young patients with cancer.
RATIONALE: Studying samples of blood in the laboratory from young patients with cancer may help doctors learn how carboplatin, cyclophosphamide, and etoposide affect the body and how patients will respond to treatment. PURPOSE: This laboratory study is evaluating the side effects and how well anticancer drugs work in very young patients with cancer.
Thymidylate synthase (TS) is a substance the body produces naturally. The purpose of this research is to determine if there is a link between TS production and how well patients respond to treatment of non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The aim for the future is that doctors could have a better understanding in advance about which patients might respond well to pemetrexed based on how much TS they produce.
The main purpose of this study is to learn if adding bevacizumab to standard treatment with chemotherapy (docetaxel, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide) for early stage HER2-negative breast cancer will prevent breast cancer from returning. A second purpose of this study is to learn if adding bevacizumab to treatment with chemotherapy will help women with HER2-negative breast cancer live longer. The researchers also want to learn about the side effects of the combination of drugs used in this study.
The trial randomise patients with asymptomatic carotid artery narrowing in whom prompt physical intervention is thought to be needed, but there there is still substantial uncertainty shared by patient and doctor about whether surgery or stenting is the more appropriate choice. The study is looking at immediate risks (within one month)and at long term benefits
This study is conducted in Europe and North and South America. The primary aim of this observational study is to evaluate the frequency and pattern of bleeding episodes in haemophilia patients receiving preventative treatment with activated recombinant human factor VII. The secondary aim is to evaluate which patients are selected for this treatment, the dose and dose intervals used, and the safety of activated recombinant human factor VII when used as prevention. The study also aims to increase understanding of the unmet medical need and clinical relevance of preventative treatment in haemophilia patients.
The study will examine the sensitivity and specificity of a circulating cell-free nucleic acid test (DNA/RNA) to identify Down syndrome between about 10 weeks and 21 weeks 6 days gestation. In addition, the new test may be used to identify trisomy 13 and 18 as part of a more complete laboratory developed test. We hypothesize that the new circulating cell-free fetal NA-based test will accurately and precisely measure specific fetal markers in maternal circulation and that measurement will lead to the ability to noninvasively identify with high sensitivity and specificity, fetal chromosome abnormalities, such as Down syndrome.
