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.
This 3 arm study assessed the efficacy of rituximab (MabThera®/Rituxan®) in the prevention of progression of structural joint damage in participants with active rheumatoid arthritis who had an inadequate clinical response to methotrexate. Participants were randomized to receive rituximab 500 mg intravenously (iv), rituximab 1000 mg iv, or placebo iv on days 1 and 15 every 24 weeks in the main study; all participants received concomitant methotrexate at a stable dose of 12.5-25 mg/week throughout the study. Further courses of rituximab were provided to eligible participants. Structural joint damage was assessed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at baseline and at intervals during the study.
The purpose of the study is to test the efficacy of a vaccine against house dust mite and/or cat allergy compared to placebo in adult patients.
Two-arm, randomized, open-label trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of bosutinib alone compared to imatinib alone in subjects newly diagnosed with chronic phase Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML). The primary endpoint is cytogenetic response rate at one year.
This study will evaluate if extended therapy with oral rivaroxaban can prevent blood clots in the leg and lung that can occur with patients hospitalized for acute medical illness, and compare these results with those of the standard enoxaparin dose and duration regimen. The safety of rivaroxaban will also be studied.
The study is assessing efficacy and safety of three different dosage regimens of grass pollen sublingual immunotherapy in adult patients suffering from grass pollen related rhinoconjunctivitis.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the tolerability, safety and treatment response of flexible doses of paliperidone extended-release (ER; designed to slowly release a drug in the body over an extended period of time) tablets in participants with acute schizophrenia (psychiatric disorder with symptoms of emotional instability, detachment from reality, often with delusions and hallucinations, and withdrawal into the self).
This is a randomised, double-blind, double-dummy, multinational, multicentre, parallel group trial comparing tiotropium (18 mcg) inhalation capsule via HandiHaler and salmeterol (50 mcg) via MDI in patients with COPD. There will be a two-week run-in period followed by a 52-week randomised treatment phase. Patients who withdraw prematurely from trial medication will be encouraged to remain in the trial and participate in follow-up telephone contacts until their predicted normal exit date from the trial (i.e. 52 weeks after taking the first dose of randomised treatment). The phone calls will be made at all scheduled visits. The primary objective of this study is to compare the effect of tiotropium (18 mcg) inhalation capsule via HandiHaler with that of salmeterol (50 mcg) via MDI on COPD exacerbations. The primary endpoint is time to first COPD exacerbation during the 52 week randomised treatment period. A COPD exacerbation will be defined as a complex of respiratory events / symptoms (increase or new onset) of more than one of the following: cough, sputum, wheezing, dyspnoea or chest tightness with at least one symptom lasting at least three days requiring treatment with antibiotics and/or systemic steroids and/or hospitalisation. The onset of an exacerbation is defined as the onset of the first new or increased reported symptom. The end of the exacerbation should be recorded as defined by the investigator. Only COPD exacerbations with onset during randomised treatment will be included in the analysis.
The purpose of this study is to assess a dose titration scheme, of a new drug (BAY58-2667) given intravenously, to evaluate if this is safe and can help to improve the well-being, symptoms (e.g. breathing) and outcome of decompensated heart failure. Patients living with chronic heart failure have a risk of increased number of hospitalisations because of worsening of their condition (decompensated heart failure). The current treatment of acute heart failure consists of oxygen and medical treatment with vasodilators and positive inotropic agents (drugs, which should strengthen the pump function of the heart) which have their limitations. Therefore there is a need for new drugs in treatment of acute heat failure.
The primary efficacy objective is to evaluate whether dabigatran etexilate is superior to placebo in the long-term prevention of recurrent symptomatic venous thrombo-embolism (VTE) in patients with symptomatic deep-vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE) who completed 6 to 18 months of treatment with vitamin K antagonist (VKA).
Studies have shown that both high-dose Methylprednisolone and Rituximab used as single agents are effective in relapsed and refractory B-CLL. Methylprednisolone acts independently of p53 apoptosis pathway. The combination of both drugs may improve response and outcome in previously treated high-risk B-CLL patients. Study Objectives Primary: To determine the clinical benefit of high-dose Methylprednisolone and Rituximab in previously treated high-risk B-CLL patients in terms of clinical and flowcytometric response rate. Secondary: To determine progression free and overall survival. To characterize the safety profile of high-dose Methylprednisolone and Rituximab.
