There are about 2307 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 is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of mavacamten in adolescent patients with symptomatic obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM).
The purpose of this Expanded Access Program (EAP) is to allow patients to continue receiving treatment with copanlisib if they are currently having, in the opinion of their healthcare provider, an objective favorable response when taking copanlisib. Patients considering this access program should have no other therapeutic option, have not developed a disease and/or medical condition (including pregnancy), and/or have a toxicity that would conflict with continuing to receive copanlisib.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of alnuctamab compared to standard of care regimens in participants with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM).
Children with Food Allergy (FA) are at risk of life threatening reactions. They must carry an emergency medicine kit containing adrenaline auto-injector devices for the immediate treatment of anaphylaxis. Much research has documented the adverse impact of childhood FA on the food allergy related quality of life (FQoL) of the Carer and the family, along with reported higher levels of anxiety and stress. These adverse impacts are largely driven by the need for Carers to always be "emergency ready". Mothers of food allergic children report higher levels of anxiety compared to the rest of the family, possibly due to mothers commonly being the primary care givers responsible for the preparation of meals, childcare etc. Carers of newly diagnosed food allergic children, looking for more information about their child's FA are at risk of exposure to myths and misinformation about food allergy. These falsehoods are likely to increase further, Carers Food Allergy-related anxiety. The investigators wish to survey the frequency with which common myths on FA are believed among mothers prior to their attendance at an allergy clinic. They wish to understand the impact of "myth-busting" information on maternal anxiety or self-efficacy when provided to mothers while awaiting a specialist appointment. The research question is to determine if the online educational session is effective at decreasing anxiety and improving quality of life in Carers of FA children awaiting a specialist appointment.
The goal of the NEO2 BAV registry is to investigate the safety, effectiveness, and clinical performance of TAVI using the ACURATE neo2 valve in patients with severe BAV stenosis. The clinical, procedural, and imaging characteristics will be collected from patients with severe BAV stenosis, regardless of the phenotype, and treated with TAVI using the ACURATE neo2 bioprosthesis worldwide.
Pilot study evaluating two different airbag hip protectors to see if community-dwelling older people will wear them and find them comfortable and acceptable.
The goal of this single-centre longitudinal observational study is to create reference values for diastolic function parameters in neonates born at 35 weeks' gestation or above, and to assess the influence of pre-defined antenatal, intrapartum, maternal, and neonatal factors on cardiac function. The main question it aims to answer are: - What are the normal reference ranges for parameters of diastolic cardiac function in neonates? - How are these influenced by maternal, intrapartum and neonatal factors? - Do the diastolic changes noted during the first two days of life persist into infancy? Participants will have four echocardiographic assessments in total: - Two during the first 48 hours of life (prior to discharge home) - Two during infancy (as an outpatient)
Many people with Parkinson's (PwP) experience many barriers to reaching the recommended dosage of exercise. The aim of this study is to examine the feasibility of behavioural change support techniques delivered alongside an exercise programme to improve physical activity, function, to inform a future pilot randomised controlled trial. Twenty participants with Parkinson's will be allocated to the intervention (n=10) or the control group (n=10). Both groups will receive usual care, which includes a weekly program of a multidisciplinary education, a supervised exercise class and a prescribed home exercise program. The intervention group will receive additional behavioural change techniques to help them adhere to the exercises, targeting behaviour regulation, belief about capabilities and social influences. Outcomes will measure how well people were able to stay in the programme, and their physical function after the 12 week programme. Surveys will be used to compare experiences and satisfaction between groups. Exit interviews will be completed with the intervention group only, exploring their experience of the behavioural change techniques. Discussion: The results will help inform a future pilot randomised controlled trial, based on the intervention acceptability, consent rate, maintenance, and protocol integrity.
The primary objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of ALXN2220 in the treatment of adult participants with ATTR-CM by evaluating the difference between the ALXN2220 and placebo groups as assessed by the composite endpoint of all-cause mortality (ACM) and total cardiovascular (CV) clinical events.
The mechanisms and effectiveness of a technique to boost the brain's recovery mechanisms will be studied. Brain-Computer Interface (BCI),based on applying magnetic pulses (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, TMS) to the stroke damaged area in the brain, causing twitches in the paralysed muscles will be used. The size of these twitches are then displayed to the patient as neurofeedback (NF) on a computer screen in the form of a game. In the game, the aim for the patient is to learn how to make the twitches bigger by engaging appropriate mental imagery to re-activate the damaged brain region.
