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 12 week placebo-controlled study evaluates the safety and impact of 2 different strengths of the medical food formulation WBF-0011.
This study evaluated the long-term safety and tolerability of elexacaftor (ELX), tezacaftor (TEZ), and ivacaftor (IVA) triple combination (TC) treatment in participants with cystic fibrosis (CF).
Primary objectives: - Randomization R1, all patients eligible: To examine, whether the cumulative incidence of relapses with involvement of the CNS (CNS relapse, pCICR) can be decreased by a modified induction therapy including dexamethasone (experimental arm) instead of prednisone (standard arm) - Randomization R2, only patients with high risk LBL eligible: to examine, whether the probability of event-free survival (pEFS) in these patients can be improved by receiving an intensified treatment arm versus a standard treatment arm (as used in the EURO-LB 02)
Obesity levels worldwide have tripled since the mid 1070's. Obesity and its co-morbidities, metabolic syndrome, type II diabetes, and cardiovascular disease, are serious widespread health concerns which urgently need to be addressed. G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), such as the ghrelin receptor (GHS-R1a), are well known for their key role in the homeostatic control of food intake and energy balance. Ghrelin is the major hunger hormone in the body and ghrelin-receptor antagonists have been advanced as potential anti-obesity agents. This receptor is therefore an ideal target for orally delivered probiotic-derived bioactives with excellent bioavailability. Bacterial strains with the ability to modulate these receptors may have high potential as probiotics with the ability to induce appetite modulation effects. Due to promising pre-clinical results, the investigators aim to trial a Bif Longum probiotic, which can target these receptors, in an obese human population. We hypothesise that the probiotic will positively alter the gut-brain axis, improving control of hunger and satiety signalling adults with high BMI, leading to decreased BMI and waist-hip ratio scores. Furthermore, the investigators expect that the mechanism through which the probiotic is having a positive impact can be determined via investigation of the microbiota composition, gut hormone levels and circulating immune profiles.
This study is a Phase 1b open label, single arm, adaptive multi-centre trial of copanlisib in combination with trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) in pretreated locally advanced or metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer. Patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer who previously received trastuzumab and a taxane, separately or in combination, will be treated with copanlisib (to the dose escalation scheme) plus trastuzumab emtansine 3.6mg/kg IV on day 1 of a 21-day cycle.
Longitudinal ultrasound orientation during central venous cannulation has been suggested by a number of radomised studies to offer superior cannulation rates. This technique may offer a simple, safe and cost-neutral step to improve cannulation rates in the widely performed minimally invasive endovenous intervention.
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of ocrelizumab ( Ocrevus®) compared with placebo in participants with primary progressive multiple sclerosis (PPMS), including participants later in their disease course. This study focuses on upper limit disability progression. This study will consist of the following phases: screening, double-blind treatment, follow-up 1 (FU1), an optional open-label extension (OLE), follow-up 2 (FU2), and B-cell monitoring (BCM).
The objective of this registry is to gain more insight on the clinical use of the Occlutech perimembranous VSD occluder.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of guselkumab in participants with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC).
Activating mutations in the fms like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) gene are observed in approximately 30% of patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Addition of the multitargeted kinase inhibitor midostaurin to standard chemotherapy prolongs event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients with a FLT3 mutation. Gilteritinib is a more potent and more specific inhibitor of mutant FLT3 in comparison to midostaurin and has shown promising clinical activity in AML.
