There are about 2143 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Slovakia. 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 primary objective is to compare the time to progression (TTP) of three daily doses of thalidomide (100, 200 and 400 mg) with high-dose dexamethasone in relapsed refractory multiple myeloma (MM) patients and to subsequently select the optimum thalidomide dose in terms of median TPP and toxicity.
This single arm study will assess the safety and efficacy of Avastin combined with platinum-containing chemotherapy regimens in patients with advanced or recurrent non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Avastin will be given as first-line treatment in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy or in combination with any standard of care NSCLC first-line chemotherapy used in line with the licensed national prescribing information. Eligible patients will receive Avastin (15mg/kg iv on day 1 of each 3 week cycle) concomitantly with chemotherapy. Avastin treatment will continue after completion of chemotherapy cycles until disease progression, and the target sample size is 500+ individuals.
To determine if treatment with BG00012 can decrease the number of MS relapses during a certain time period. Other goals of the study are to determine if, over time, BG00012 treatment can decrease the number of certain types of brain lesions commonly seen in MS patients and slow down the time it takes for MS to get worse. Other objectives of the study are to determine the safety and tolerability of BG00012, as well as the effect it may have on tests and evaluations used to assess MS. Additionally, glatiramer acetate is being used to compare its benefits and risks with placebo and BG00012.
This single arm study will assess the safety and efficacy of a regimen of Avastin plus a taxane, with or without additional chemotherapy, as first-line treatment in patients with locally recurrent or metastatic breast cancer. All patients will receive Avastin (10mg/kg iv every 2 weeks, or 15 mg/kg iv every 3 weeks) plus taxane-based chemotherapy. If taxanes are contraindicated, alternative chemotherapy (other than anthracyclines or pegylated liposomal doxorubicin) may be used. The anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression, and the target sample size is 500+ individuals.
To evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of GSK372475 compared with placebo in the treatment of outpatient subjects with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)
This 2 arm study will compare the efficacy and safety of continuation or discontinuation of Herceptin treatment in combination with 2nd line chemotherapy, in patients with HER2 positive metastatic breast cancer whose condition has progressed on 1st line chemotherapy plus Herceptin. Patients will be randomized either to continue or discontinue Herceptin treatment (6mg/kg iv infusion every 3 weeks) while receiving second-line chemotherapy of the investigator's choice. The anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.
To evaluate fondaparinux 2.5mg subcutaneously once daily for 45 days in the treatment of acute (recent) superficial thrombophlebitis.
European physicians tend to always use the lowest dose of statins to initiate therapy even in subjects who require large reductions in cholesterol. The study evaluates if selecting the starting dose based on baseline and target LDL-C cholesterol would provide better results (ie proportion of subjects resching target)
The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of esomeprazole 20 or 40 mg once daily versus placebo on the occurrence of peptic ulcers during 26 weeks in subjects on continuous low-dose acetylsalicylic acid.
This study will investigate if the drug zoledronic acid given once yearly is safe and has beneficial effects in treating osteoporosis by reducing bone loss and fractures in men with osteoporosis.
