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 goal of this clinical trial is to test whether lyophilized fecal microbime transfer - a dried extract of bacteria from the stool of healthy donors - is better than antibiotic therapy only for treating primary clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) in adult participants. The main question it aims to answer is whether lyophilized fecal microbiome transfer lowers the number of episodes of CDI compared to antibiotic therapy. Participants will be assigned to one of two groups: - In the intervention group participants will be given vancomycin by mouth for five days followed by 5 days of capsules of lyophilized fecal microbiome to swallow, up until day 10. - In the control group participants will be given vancomycin by mouth for ten days. - All participants will be asked to arrive for two follow-up visits and to fill out questionnaires. In addition, all participants will be asked to give stool samples before antibiotic therapy and on the two follow-up visits. Researchers will compare the intervention group and the control group to see if there is a difference in symptoms degree after ten days and in recurrence of the infection after two months. They will also compare side effects, the total use of antibiotics and the change in the composition of bacteria in the stool, namely the presence of bacteria that are resistant to many drugs.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether milvexian compared to placebo reduce the risk of recurrent ischemic stroke.
This study is designed to determine the efficacy of the Lumoral method in chronic periodontitis with a targeted group of stage III and IV periodontitis. Improved supragingival plaque control can help to also sustain the subgingival plaque management in the long term. In addition, the method might have a photobiomodulation effect on periodontal tissues.
Researchers are looking for a better way to prevent an ischemic stroke which occurs when a blood clot travelled to the brain in people who within the last 72 hours had: - an acute stroke due to a blood clot that formed outside the heart (acute non-cardioembolic ischemic stroke), or - TIA/mini-stroke with a high risk of turning into a stroke (high-risk transient ischemic attack), and who are planned to receive standard of care therapy. Acute ischemic strokes or TIA/mini-stroke result from a blocked or reduced blood flow to a part of the brain. They are caused by blood clots that travel to the brain and block the vessels that supply it. If these blood clots form elsewhere than in the heart, the stroke is called non-cardioembolic. People who already had a non-cardioembolic stroke are more likely to have another stroke. This is why they are treated preventively with an antiplatelet therapy, the current standard of care. Antiplatelet medicines prevent platelets, components of blood clotting, from clumping together. Anticoagulants are another type of medicine that prevents blood clots from forming by interfering with a process known as coagulation (or blood clotting). The study treatment asundexian is a new type of anticoagulant currently under development to provide further treatment options. Asundexian aims to further improve the standard of care without increasing the risk of bleeding. The main purpose of this study is to learn whether asundexian works better than placebo at reducing ischemic strokes in participants who recently had a non-cardioembolic ischemic stroke or TIA/mini-stroke when given in addition to standard antiplatelet therapy. A placebo is a treatment that looks like a medicine but does not have any medicine in it. Another aim is to compare the occurrence of major bleeding events during the study between the asundexian and the placebo group. Major bleedings have a serious or even life-threatening impact on a person's health. Dependent on the treatment group, the participants will either take asundexian or placebo once a day for at least 3 months up to 31 months. Approximately every 3 months during the treatment period, either a phone call or a visit to the study site is scheduled on an alternating basis. In addition, one visit before and up to two visits after the treatment period are planned. During the study, the study team will: - Check vital signs such as blood pressure and heart rate - Examine the participants' heart health using an electrocardiogram (ECG) - Take blood samples - Ask the participants questions about how they are feeling and what adverse events they are having. An adverse event is any medical problem that a participant has during a study. Doctors keep track of all adverse events that happen in studies, even if they do not think the adverse events might be related to the study treatments. In addition, the participants will be asked to complete a questionnaire on quality of life at certain time points during the study.
This study is looking at how Mim8 works in people with haemophilia A, who either have inhibitors or do not have inhibitors. Mim8 is a new medicine that will be used to avoid bleeding episodes. Mim8 works by replacing the function of the missing clotting factor VIII (FVIII). When and how often the participants will receive Mim8 in this study depends on the treatment participant receives in the current Mim8 study participant is taking part in. The study will last for up to 5.5 years. The duration of the study depends on when the participant enrolled in this study. The study will end if Mim8 is approved and marketed in participant's country during the study, or the study will end in 2028, whichever comes first. Mim8 will be injected under the skin with a thin needle either once a week, once every two weeks or once a month. Participants will get up to 262 injections; the number of injections depends on how often participants will get injections. While taking part in this study, there are some restrictions about what medicine participants can use. The study doctor will tell the participants more about this. In case the participants experience bleeds, these can be treated with additional haemostatic medicine as agreed with the study doctor. Female participants cannot take part if they are pregnant, breast-feeding or plan to get pregnant during the study period.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary activity of MP0533 in patients with relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS)
This clinical trial aims to evaluate the effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on upper extremity motor function in stroke patients. The main questions it seeks to answer are: 1. Whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has a positive effect on upper extremity motor function in stroke patients. 2. Which stimulation protocol (low frequency - LF or high-frequency - HF) has better outcomes for improving upper extremity motor function in stroke patients? Participants will receive 10 procedures of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) over two weeks. They will be randomly assigned into low-frequency, high-frequency rTMS groups or sham stimulation groups. Upper extremity motor function will be evaluated twice: before stimulation and 3-4 weeks after stimulation. Researchers will compare sham stimulation to see if it has the same or better outcomes for improving upper extremity motor function in stroke patients than real rTMS.
Peritoneum is among the most common sites of metastases in gastric cancer. Systemic chemotherapy is the current standard for peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC), although, the treatment results remain extremely poor. Pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC) is a modern treatment modality for PC, that 1) optimize the drug distribution by applying an aerosol rather than a liquid solution; and 2) apply increased intraperitoneal hydrostatic pressure to increase drug penetration to the target. Despite some encouraging preliminary results for PIPAC efficacy, it is still an investigational treatment. Furthermore, only very limited data exist for bidirectional treatment, which includes a combination of systemic chemotherapy and PIPAC. Thus, this study will investigate the feasibility of PIPAC and systemic chemotherapy combination for gastric cancer patients with peritoneal metastases.
This study will be done to see if ziltivekimab can be used to treat people living with heart failure and inflammation. Participants will either get ziltivekimab or placebo. Participants will get study medicine for once-monthly injections either in a pre-filled syringe to inject the study medicine into a skinfold or a pen-injector to inject the study medicine into flat skin. The study is expected to last for up to 4 years. Participants will have up to 20 clinic visits. Participants will have to use a study app on their phone to record and share information about all their injections of study medicine and to fill in questionnaires.
