There are about 15072 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Turkey. 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 purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of pembrolizumab (MK-3475) monotherapy, followed by chemotherapy, followed by pembrolizumab consolidation. The primary hypothesis of the study is that the complete response (CR) rate at the end of study intervention according to Lugano 2014 response criteria is higher than conventional chemotherapy.
This study was planned to examine the effect of education based on learning styles in diabetic individuals who are incompatible with treatment, on treatment compliance and metabolic goals. The study was conducted as a randomized controlled study between January-September 2021 in Dokuz Eylül University Training and Research Hospital Endocrinology and Metabolic Diseases Polyclinic and Internal Medicine Polyclinic.
The purpose of the study is to determine the safety and tolerability of pembrolizumab/vibostolimab (MK-7684A) in hematological malignancies. This study will also evaluate the overall response rate (ORR), the duration of response (DOR), and disease control rate (DCR) following administration of pembrolizumab/vibostolimab. In addition, this study will characterize pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of vibostolimab (MK-7684).
This research is planned as a randomized controlled experimental study to examine the effect of using eye mask and earplugs in preventing delirium with evidence-based nonpharmacological nursing interventions in intensive care units.
All participants' medical information will be collected for use as a baseline, including tumor-specific variables, nutritional status, functional status, psychological status, cognitive function, social support, and comorbidities. The suitability of G8, VES-13 and CARG chemotherapy risk assessment tools for elderly cancer patients was investigated.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of adding lazertinib to amivantamab, carboplatin, and pemetrexed (LACP/ACP-L dosing strategies) and amivantamab, carboplatin and pemetrexed (ACP) compared with carboplatin and pemetrexed (CP) in participants with locally advanced or metastatic epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) Exon 19del or Exon 21 L858R substitution non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after osimertinib failure. The purpose of the extension cohort is to further describe the safety and efficacy for the ACP-L dosing schedule versus ACP with additional data. After completion of the primary analysis, the study may eventually transition to an open-label extension (OLE) or long-term extension (LTE) phase during which participants will have the option to continue their assigned treatment.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of virtual reality exercises on pain, cardiopulmonary capacity, mood and quality of life in patients with post-COVID syndrome.
Hemorrhoids, which can be defined as "vascular cushions" located at the anorectal junction, constitute an important part of the physiological continence mechanism. However, under various pathological conditions, they can expand below the dentate line and consequently are defined as hemorrhoidal disease, which is characterized by various symptoms such as bleeding, pain and itching. An ideal treatment should be effective in the long term, require less intervention to the surrounding structures, have low morbidity rates and cause minimal postoperative pain, which significantly affects the quality of life of a patient following surgery. he aim of this study is to compare the two contemporary minimally invasive methods.
Background: Abdominal pain, distension, and discomfort are the most frequently seen side effects after colonoscopy. These side effects can cause physical and mental results and increased workloads and care costs. Additionally, the satisfaction of the patients with the colonoscopy process may affect their willingness to undergo repeated colonoscopies in the future which may be required for the surveillance of colon malignity. Currently, there are no studies evaluating the effects of abdominal massage on post colonoscopy these abdominal symptoms. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of post colonoscopy abdominal massage on abdominal pain, distension, discomfort, and patient satisfaction. Methods: This study was designed as a prospective randomized controlled study. Participants meeting inclusion criteria will be assigned to intervention and control groups using a random number generator. Participants assigned to the intervention group will receive abdominal massages twice a day after colonoscopy, and participants assigned to the control group will receive only "routine care". The abdominal pain, distension, discomfort, and satisfaction levels of the patients will be evaluated using the Visual Analogue Scale. Conclusions: New approaches are needed to improve the physiological and psychological health levels of patients after colonoscopy and help them return to their daily life activities and social lives faster. The trial will provide valuable evidence to inform clinical application and help evaluate the effects of the use of the relevant intervention.
Gluten sensitivity is the most common auto-immune disease associated with auto-immune thyroiditis. This association is through elevated anti-Tissue transglutaminase (Anti-tTG) levels both in Celiac disease and thyroiditis. In our study we tried to find if there is any correlation in between Anti-tTG and degree of fibrosis in thyroid tissue (Post-operative specimen).
