There are about 1645 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Czech Republic. 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.
Comparison of Fractional Flow Reserve versus instant Wave-Free Ratio for assessment of coronary artery stenosis severity in routine practice - To compare FFR to iFR in arbitrary consecutive patients referred for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). - To investigate the influence of hyperemia on iFR. - To test reproducibility of iFR and FFR.
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, multicenter study to determine the effect of ranolazine when added to metformin on glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who are inadequately controlled despite current treatment with stable metformin therapy in addition to diet and exercise.
A Confirmation of the Safety Profile for Minirin Melt in Clinical Practice
Caesarean delivery under general anaesthesia (GA) carries nowadays still 25% risk of insufficient depth of anaesthesia in a time before the fetus delivery. The reason is the lack of opioid administration. Opioids easily cross placental barrier and negatively influence newborn postpartum adaptation by respiratory depression. Introduction to GA is thus accompanied by exaggerated autonomic stress reaction with hypertension and tachycardia. The use of ultra-short acting opioid remifentanil should suppress stress response in mother without increasing the risk for newborn. There are only a few clinical data available. This study will be the first one systematically studying the influence of remifentanil in pregnant women with hypertension on hemodynamic stability and newborns safety. This study will also identify potential pharmacogenetic factors of individual variability in remifentanil response with respect of drug efficacy and safety in mother and newborn.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of 2 doses of TAK-875 (25 mg and 50 mg), once daily (QD), plus metformin compared to placebo plus metformin and sitagliptin plus metformin on lowering blood sugar.
It is known that acute stress of organism often leads to hyperglycemia even in nondiabetic patients. It is also known that pathophysiological mechanisms: enhanced gluconeogenesis, impaired insulin secretion and decreased insulin sensitivity due to anti-insulin effect of stress hormones and proinflammatory cytokines, or changes of glucose excretion and renal tubular resorption. Many studies proved the negative effects of hyperglycemia to different tissues and organs, e.g. hearth (increasing size of myocardial necrosis, reducing coronary collateral blood flow, exaggerating ischemia-reperfusion injury, impairing ischemic preconditioning), vascular (increased risk of thrombosis, endothelial dysfunction, activation of systemic inflammation with destabilization of atherosclerotic plaques), kidneys and its association with infectious complications. The first Leuven study (published in 2001) demonstrated that hyperglycemia in critical care patients significantly increases risk of organ complication and total mortality. Although the importance of postoperative tight glycemia control is now widely accepted, glycemia stability during cardiac surgery is often neglected. It is known that postoperative hyperglycemia has negative effects, but it is not known what effect has its peroperative elevation. Goal of this study is to demonstrate, whether full perioperative intensive glycemia control can reduce the incidence of postoperative morbidity even more than postoperative glycemia control only.
Primary objective: - To characterize the effects of 12 weeks treatment with study drug on albumin-creatinine ratio (ACR) in patients with type 2 diabetes and albuminuria Secondary objectives: - To characterize the effect of study drug on glycosylated hemoglobin fraction (HbA1c) - To evaluate the effect of study drug on markers of glycemic disorders, systemic inflammation, renal and liver disease and cardiovascular function - To assess the safety and tolerability of study drug - To determine the population pharmacokinetics (PK) of study drug
Water immersion insertion has been documented to decrease procedure-related discomfort during colonoscopy. Cap attached to the colonoscope tip may improve insertion and shorten cecal intubation time. The investigators would like to assess whether combination of cap-fitted colonoscopy and water immersion insertion is feasible and safe method of diagnostic colonoscopy. The primary endpoint is cecal intubation time and the investigators suppose that the use of cap is able to shorten it significantly. Patient comfort during colonoscope insertion, water consumption, length of the scope while reaching the cecum, need for external compression, need for positioning of the patient and endoscopist´s difficulty with colonoscopy are assessed.
PH-797804 is an oral anti-inflammatory drug that may reduce the inflammation that is associated with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). PH-797804 will be dosed to patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) to evaluate its potential safety and efficacy profile in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
The aim of the trial is to test safety, tolerability and efficacy of Propionyl-L-carnitine modified release tablets 1g/die in reducing the symptoms of the disease with respect to the proportion of patients with disease remission at the end of the 8 weeks of treatment. It will also aim to investigate capability of the treatment in the maintenance of remission after four weeks of treatment interruption; histological changes will be also evaluated and finally, improvement in the overall quality of life as measured by the Short Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (SIBDQ)will be investigated.
