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 see if adding a new type of medication recently approved to treat overactive bladder (mirabegron) to an antimuscarinic treatment (solifenacin) would be more effective in controlling incontinence than when using the antimuscarinic treatment alone.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of Cabozantinib (XL184) compared with placebo on overall survival in subjects with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma who have received prior sorafenib.
Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is the most powerful antidepressant treatment available and is often life-saving. There are concerns, however, that standard bitemporal ECT (the most commonly used form of ECT worldwide) causes persisting retrograde amnesia. However, clinical trials have indicated that high-dose unilateral ECT may be as effective as bitemporal ECT but have much less cognitive side-effects. The trial aims to test the primary experimental hypothesis: High-dose (6 x ST) right unilateral ECT is as effective as (i.e. not inferior to) standard (1.5 x ST) bitemporal ECT for severe depression in terms of Hamilton Depression Rating Score (HDRS) at the end of the treatment course.
This multicenter, open-label, single-arm study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of obinutuzumab alone or in combination with chemotherapy in participants with previously untreated or relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). This is a Post-Authorization Safety Study. Participants will receive 6 cycles of single-agent obinutuzumab or obinutuzumab in combination with chemotherapy at the investigator's discretion. Each participant will be followed until 30 months after the last participant has been enrolled. Total length of the study is anticipated to be approximately 5 years.
Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is a life threatening condition and a serious concern among hospitalized patients, with death occurring in approximately 6% of cases. It involves the formation of a clot where stagnant blood flow occurs, predominantly in the deep veins of the legs. Three mechanisms underlie DVT, venous stasis (slowing or stopping of the blood), hypercoagulability (increased clotting) and damage to blood vessel endothelium (damage to blood vessel wall), collectively known as Virchow's triad. Intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) and neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) have been shown to improve lower limb blood flow. However, few studies have directly compared the two methods and those that have, have used dated NMES techniques. The objective of this study is to compare the two methods in terms of blood flow, in both a young and an older population.
The PREPARE study is the first multicenter randomized controlled trial to evaluate the hypothesis that preoperative inspiratory muscle training leads to decreased pulmonary complications in patients undergoing esophageal resection.
This study is conducted in Europe and Asia. The purpose of the study (Diabetes Pregnancy Registry) is to evaluate the safety of treatment with insulin detemir in pregnant women with diabetes mellitus.
The purpose of this study is to determine if enzalutamide is safe and effective in the treatment of patients with advanced breast cancer that express the androgen receptor but do not express the estrogen or progesterone receptor and are not Her2 amplified.

The aims of the APRICOT study are: - To establish the incidence of severe critical events in children undergoing anesthesia in Europe. - To describe the differences in paediatric anaesthesia practice throughout Europe. - To study the potential impact of this variability on the occurrence of severe critical events (Laryngospasm, Bronchospasm, Pulmonary aspiration, Drug error, Anaphylaxis, Cardiovascular instability, Neurological damage, Perianaesthetic cardiac arrest and postanaesthetic Stridor).
