There are about 1533 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Serbia. 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.
Various signal molecules are detected in blood and tissues of patients with T2DM, that are important function of neural tissues in diabetic setting. Among them, specifically important are neuroprotective and neurotrophic growth factors such as neural growth factor (NGF), glial cells - derived nerve growth factor (GDNF) and brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). Furthermore, several other signal molecules are discovered to affect vascular tissues homeostasis in T2DM, including soluble alpha-klotho (s-Klotho), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and interleukin-6 (IL-6). Most of these molecules are also detected in saliva in various states and diseases of orofacial system, but data about their levels in saliva of T2DM patients are lacking. Also, there is no data about presence and levels of s-Klotho in saliva of healthy or T2DM patients, although it was reported that this molecule exerts protective effect on the salivary glands tissue. Salivary opiorphin is recently discovered pentapeptide, primarily isolated from saliva. It acts as an inhibitor of the enzymes that perform degaradation of endogenous antinociceptive molecules enkephalins, affecting nociceptive signal transduction. This may be of special importance since some intraoral complications of T2DM (e.g. burning mouth) may have underlying peripheral neural changes as a pathophysiological mechanism. Against this background, the aim of the study is to detect the presence and levels of mentioned signal molecules in saliva of T2DM and healthy patients.
This study will look at how much CagriSema helps participants with type 2 diabetes lower their blood sugar and body weight. CagriSema is a new investigational medicine. Doctors may not yet prescribe CagriSema. CagriSema will be compared to a "dummy" medicine (also called "placebo") that has no effect on the body. Participants will get either CagriSema or "dummy" medicine. Which treatment participants get is decided by chance. For each participant, the study will last for about one year.

Environmental noise represents a health problem for at least one in five citizens of the European Union. Noise exposure leads to the development of arterial hypertension, myocardial infarction, stroke, and obesity. Given the limited information on noise exposure and noise effects on humans in the Republic of Serbia, the overall objective of NOXYCARD is to collect environmental noise levels data; to identify long-term and short-term noise effects on the cardiovascular system; and to evaluate the levels of blood stress hormones, oxidative stress, and inflammation in individuals with normal body weight and individuals with obesity.
This study is a retrospective study trying to find the predictive factors for medullary thyroid aggressiveness in terms of tumor metastasis and patients' survival.
The purpose of this study is to measure the efficacy and safety of baxdrostat/dapagliflozin in participants ≥ 18 years of age with CKD and HTN. This study consists of a screening, a 4-week dapagliflozin run-in period for participants naïve to SGLT2i at baseline; a 24-month double-blind period in which participants will receive either baxdrostat/dapagliflozin or dapagliflozin; and a 6-week open-label period in which all participants will discontinue baxdrostat/placebo and receive dapagliflozin alone. Site visits will take place at 2-, 4-, 8-, and 16- weeks following randomisation. Thereafter visits will occur approximately every 4 months, until the 24-month visit at which time baxdrostat/placebo will be discontinued. Participants will continue open-label dapagliflozin for another 6-weeks (approximately), where reassessment of GFR will occur for the primary efficacy endpoint. In the event of premature discontinuation of blinded study intervention, participants will continue in the study and receive open-label dapagliflozin monotherapy, unless the participant meets dapagliflozin specific discontinuation criteria, in which case all study interventions will be discontinued.
This project aims to decrease undesirable side effects and increase qulaity of life of aromatase inhibitors therapy in breast cancer survivors, by anti-inflammatory diet or supplementation.
This study is being done in order to assess the cardiovascular events known as cardiovascular toxicity of chemotherapy agents and radiotherapy protocols in cancer subjects to identify risk prediction, prevention and treatment of cancer therapy-related cardiovascular toxicity and cancer therapy-related cardiac dysfunction
The improvement or preservation of quality of life (QoL) is one of the three pillars of the European Union (EU) Mission on Cancer, which underpins the needs of patients from cancer diagnosis throughout treatment, survivorship, and advanced terminal stages. Clinical studies and real-world data show that the use of Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) for QoL assessment in routine oncology practice has positive effects on patient wellbeing and healthcare resource utilization. However, full implementation of PROMs is not yet part of standard of care and is not adequately considered in cancer policies and programs. A comprehensive tool incorporating the perspective of patients at different stages of the disease trajectory and widely applicable across Europe is still lacking. The European Oncology Quality of Life Toolkit (EUonQoL-Kit) is a unified patient-centred tool for the assessment of QoL, developed from preferences and priorities of people with past or current cancer experience. The EUonQoL-Kit includes three electronic questionnaires, specifically designed for different disease phases (patients in active treatment, survivors, and patients in palliative care), available in both static and dynamic (Computer Adaptive Testing, CAT) versions and in several European languages. This is a multicentre observational study, with the following aims: - The primary aim is to perform the psychometric validation of the EUonQoL-Kit. - Secondary aims are to assess its acceptability, to validate the CAT version, and to provide estimates of QoL across different European countries. The EUonQoL-Kit will be administered to a sample of cancer patients and survivors from 46 European cancer centres. The sample will include patients in active treatment (group A), survivors (group B), and patients in Palliative Care (group C). Each centre will recruit 100 patients (40 from group A, 30 from group B, 30 from group C), for an overall sample size of 4,600 patients (at least 4,000 patients are assumed to be enrolled, due to an expected lower recruitment rate of 10-15%). Three sub-samples of patients (each corresponding to 10% of the total sample for each centre) will fill in an additional questionnaire: - EORTC QLQ-C30, to test concurrent validity. - Live-CAT version, to test the feasibility of such implementation. - EUonQoL-Kit, 2-7 days after the first completion, to assess test-retest reliability.
