There are about 1295 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Lithuania. 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 determine whether, in patients with type 2 diabetes and pre-existing disease of the heart and the circulatory system and/or the kidney, aliskiren at a target dose of 300 mg once daily (compared to placebo), on top of conventional treatment, reduces death and disease caused by the heart, the circulatory system and the kidney. AMENDMENT 4 RATIONALE (MARCH 2012) : Protocol amendment 4 served to address the data monitoring committee recommendation dated 14 Dec 2011 to discontinue study treatment in all participating patients. It also addressed the subsequent Health Authorities request to implement a 12 month safety follow-up period (actual duration was 9 months in average) post study drug discontinuation.
The primary objective was to evaluate and compare the efficacy of androgen deprivation with or without docetaxel as determined by the median progression free survival (PFS) over the period of 18-month therapy and at least 18-month follow-up. The secondary objectives were: - To assess cancer specific survival; - To compare overall survival between the 2 treatment groups; - To evaluate patient-reported outcomes including quality of life, fatigue, and sexual functioning as measured by 3 different assessments.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effects (good and bad) of golimumab (CNTO 148) therapy in participants with active ulcerative colitis (UC) (sores in the colon).
This 2-arm study was designed to compare the efficacy and safety of bevacizumab (Avastin) in combination with rituximab (MabThera) and CHOP (cyclophosphamide, hydroxydaunorubicin [doxorubicin], Oncovin [vincristine], prednisone) chemotherapy (R-CHOP) versus rituximab plus CHOP chemotherapy (R-CHOP) in previously untreated patients with CD20-positive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Patients were randomized to receive 8 cycles of treatment with R-CHOP plus bevacizumab or R-CHOP plus placebo. Treatment with bevacizumab/placebo and R-CHOP was given either on a 2-week or 3-week schedule and bevacizumab was given at a weekly average dose of 5 mg/kg (10 mg/kg for 2-week cycles and 15 mg/kg for 3-week cycles).
The purpose of this research study is to test the safety and effectiveness of replacing vincristine with a drug called bortezomib (also known as "Velcade"or PS341) in the standard therapy vincristine, doxorubicin (not limited to, but formerly referred to under the tradename Adriamycin) and dexamethasone (VAD) in patients with multiple myeloma. Multiple Myeloma is the second most common cancer of the blood. Bortezomib is the first approved cancer treatment in a new class of medicines called proteasome inhibitors. It disrupts the cell cycle of the cell, affecting numerous biologic pathways, including those related to growth and survival of cancer cells. The treatment will be used as second line treatment, which means either the disease has returned after a period of improvement (relapse) or the disease did not respond to the initial treatment (refractory). Patients will receive either bortezomib (PS341), doxorubicin (Adriamycin) and dexamethasone (PAD) or the VAD standard therapy.
The primary objectives of this study are the following: 1. To test if the proportion of participants achieving a hemoglobin value greater than or equal to 10.0 g/dL at any time point after the first dose during the study is greater than 0.8 when administered de novo darbepoetin alfa once a week (QW) for treatment of anemia in pediatric patients with chronic kidney disease receiving and not receiving dialysis, and 2. To test if the proportion of participants achieving a hemoglobin value greater than or equal to 10.0 g/dL at any time point after the first dose during the study is greater than 0.8 when administered de novo darbepoetin alfa every 2 weeks (Q2W) for treatment of anemia in pediatric patients with chronic kidney disease receiving and not receiving dialysis.
To identify the proportion of patients remaining medically castrated (testosterone level < 50 ng/dL) on Day 240 following two administrations of a 4-month sustained-release (SR) formulation of triptorelin.
Primary objective: To determine the effect of Rimonabant 20mg on the co-primary endpoint including Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG), HDL-Cholesterol (HDL-C) and triglyceride (TG) levels over a period of 12 months when prescribed with a mild hypocaloric diet in abdominally obese patients with impaired fasting blood glucose and with or without associated comorbidities. Main Secondary objectives: To determine the effect of 12 months Rimonabant treatment versus placebo on changes in waist circumference (WC), body weight, glycemic parameters and lipid parameters. To assess the safety of 12 months Rimonabant treatment versus placebo in these patients.
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate changes in weight short and long term with bifeprunox and quetiapine. Study participation for the subject is 57 weeks.
This is a randomized (1:1), open-label, multicenter, active-controlled study in patients with previously treated CD23+ and CD20+ relapsed CLL. Patients will receive treatment with either lumiliximab in combination with FCR or FCR alone.
