There are about 160 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Luxembourg. 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.
A postprandial intervention study is conducted on healthy male subjects to evaluate whether the addition of proteins (why protein isolate, soy protein) can help to increase the bioavailability of carotenoids from a tomato/carrot beverage.
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.
The investigators are developing a novel standardized and centralized approach named Integrated Personalized Functional Profiling (PFP) in Luxembourg. Based on recent improvements in cancer biopsy-derived 3D-culture technologies the PFP process will screen patient derived cells (PDCs) with FDA/EMA-approved drugs to generate personalized functional response profiles. The selected drug through PFP technology will provide personalized treatment recommendation for the patient. This pilot study will evaluate the clinical feasibility of setting-up an effective workflow as a first step. Outcomes from this study will be used subsequently to help plan the clinical validation of the implementation of PFP.
INNODIA is a global consortium linking 26 academic institutions, 4 industrial partners, a small to medium enterprise (SME), and 2 patient organisations, bringing their knowledge and experience together with one common goal: "To fight type 1 diabetes". (www.innodia.eu). The project, approved in November 2015 and launched in January 2016, runs under the framework of the Innovative Medicines Initiative - Joint Undertaking (https://www.imi.europa.eu/projects-results/project-factsheets/innodia) with a dedicated governance structure ensuring close interaction, communication and adherence to the objectives and deliverables of the consortium. The overall aim of INNODIA is to advance in a decisive way how to predict, stage, evaluate and prevent the onset and progression of type 1 diabetes (T1D). For this, INNODIA has established a comprehensive and interdisciplinary network of clinical and basic scientists, who are leading experts in the field of T1D research in Europe, with complementary expertise from the areas of immunology, Beta-cell biology, biomarker research and T1D therapy, joining forces in a coordinated fashion with industry partners and two foundations, as well as with all major stakeholders in the process, including regulatory bodies and patients with T1D and their families. One of the objectives of INNODIA is to develop a new European clinical research network with standardized protocol based on repeated measures of C-peptide (including home measurements) and comprehensive collection of appropriate biological samples for 'omics', immune, viral and microbiome studies in new onset T1D patients and high-risk auto-antibody positive subjects. A protocol for the harmonization of sample collections in newly diagnosed type 1 diabetic patients and first degree relatives of patients with type 1 diabetes was developed following extensive preliminary work involving partners from across all specialities. Core laboratories with experience in their respective field were set up for analysis of auto-antibodies, fresh immune cells, handling of frozen immune cells, C-peptide measures. A series of standard operating procedures for sample collections and analysis were agreed. Sample tracking between clinical centres and central laboratories was included into a purposely designed electronic case report form (eCRF) into which all clinical and laboratory data collected are captured.
AML and MDS-EB2 are malignancies of the bone marrow. The standard treatment for these diseases is chemotherapy. Patients participating have a special type of this disease because the leukemia cells (blasts) have developed an error in the genetic material (DNA). This error is called an IDH1 mutation or an IDH2 mutation (a mutation is a change in the DNA), which leads to changes in specific substances in the leukemia cells. This trial will investigate whether the addition of the new drugs Ivosidenib (for patients with IDH1 mutation) or Enasidenib (for patients with IDH2 mutation) to the standard treatment of chemotherapy controle the disease more effectively and for a longer period.
The suggested clinical trial is part of the KidsAP project funded by the European Commission's Horizon 2020 Framework Programme with additional funding by JDRF. The project evaluates the use of the Artificial Pancreas (or closed loop system) in very young children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) aged 1 to 7 years. The suggested trial is an outcome study to determine whether 24/7 automated closed loop glucose control will improve glucose control as measured by time in range compared to sensor augmented pump therapy. In the extension phase, the purpose is to evaluate the effect of long-term home use of 24/7 automated hybrid closed loop insulin delivery on glucose control (UK sites only). The study adopts an open-label, multi-centre, multi-national, randomised, two period, cross-over design study, comparing two 16-week periods during which glucose levels will be controlled either by a closed loop system (intervention period) or by sensor augmented pump therapy (control period). Participants will complete a 2 to 4 week run-in period, followed by two treatment periods that will last 16 weeks each, with a 1 to 4 week washout period in between. The order of the two treatments will be random. A total of up to 80 young children aged 1 to 7 years with T1D on insulin pump therapy (aiming for 72 randomised subjects) will be recruited through paediatric outpatient diabetes clinics of the investigation centres. Prior to the use of study devices, participants and parents/guardians will receive appropriate training by the research team on the safe use of the study pump and continuous glucose monitoring device, and the hybrid closed loop insulin delivery system. Carers at nursery or school may also receive training by the study team if required. During the closed loop study arm, subjects and parents/guardians will use the closed loop system for 16 weeks under free-living conditions in their home and nursery/school environment without remote monitoring or supervision by research staff. During the control study arm, subjects and parents/guardians will use sensor augmented pump therapy for 16 weeks under free-living conditions in their home and nursery/school environment. All subjects will have regular contact with the study team during the home study phase including 24/7 telephone support. The primary endpoint is time spent in target range, between 3.9 and 10.0 mmol/l as recorded by CGM. Secondary outcomes are the time spent with glucose levels above and below target, as recorded by CGM, and other CGM-based metrics. Safety evaluation comprises assessment of the frequency and severity of hypoglycaemic episodes and diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). During the extension phase, participants will have follow-up contacts every 3 months. The primary endpoint is time spent in target range, between 3.9 and 10.0 mmol/l as recorded by CGM, over 18 months from the end of the primary phase, as compared to sensor augmented pump therapy during the primary phase. Secondary outcomes as well as safety and utility will be assessed as per primary phase.
The prognostic relevance of isolated non-ischemic LGE (i.e. with no underlying "labelled" cardiomyopathy) is unclear, and current guidelines to not state on the clearance of athlete with this type of findings as regards to competitive or intense sport practice. The principal objective of the study is to evaluate during a five-years follow up, the clinical outcome of athletes with this kind of findings. The secondary objective is the determination of prognostic factors. The management and follow-up of the athletes will be let at the appraisal of each center.
An observational study of melanoma participants who are eligible for and who have initiated treatment with adjuvant nivolumab as part of routine clinical practice.
In this study researchers want to gain more information on treatment patterns of patients treated with Xarelto in combination with acetylsalicylic acid (ASA). Both drugs reduce the risk of blood clots via different pathways. The study will enroll adult patients suffering from coronary artery disease (narrowing or blockage of vessels that supply the heart with blood) or peripheral artery disease (narrowing or blockage of vessels that supply the legs or head with blood). The study will focus on information on when and why physicians are starting to treat patients with Xarelto in addition to ASA, treatment duration, reasons to discontinue treatment and previous therapies. The study will also look into treatment outcomes for patients being treated with a combination of Xarelto and ASA by their physicians.
