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.
Compare the efficacy of using an absorbent foam silver dressing (Mepilex Ag) versus the equivalent dressing without silver in subjects suffering from venous leg ulcer or mixed ulcer with an ABPI ≥ 0.8 and with inflammatory signs. Efficacy will be defined as absolute wound size reduction.
The study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of LCZ696 compared to enalapril on morbidity and mortality in patients with chronic heart failure (NYHA Class II - IV and EF =< 35%).
HYPOTHESIS: Early prophylactic inhalation of Budesonide reduces the absolute risk of developing bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) or death in preterm infants born <28 weeks gestational age (GA) by 10%. PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: To determine whether inhalation of Budesonide within 12 hours of life improves survival without BPD at 36 weeks GA in infants born between 23 and 27 weeks GA. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: To determine whether prophylactic inhalation of Budesonide affects neurodevelopment at a corrected age of 18-22 months in preterm infants; to determine whether inhalation of corticosteroids is associated with adverse treatment effects, alters mortality at 36 weeks GA, BPD incidence at 36 weeks GA, and the duration of positive pressure respiratory support or supplemental oxygen. RATIONALE: Pre- and postnatal exposure of the developing lung to inflammation is central to the development of BPD and the pulmonary inflammatory response in preterms at risk of developing BPD is established very early in life. Corticosteroids have antiinflammatory properties and early inhalation of corticosteroids may allow for beneficial local effects on the pulmonary system prior to the development of a full inflammatory response with a lower risk of undesirable systemic side effects. STUDY DESIGN: Randomised placebo-controlled, multi-centre clinical trial. RESEARCH PLAN: Within 2 years 850 infants of 23-27 weeks GA will be randomised during the first 12 hours of life to Budesonide or placebo to prevent BPD. Study drugs will be administered via Aerochamber and continued until infants are either off supplementary oxygen and positive pressure support or have reached a GA of 32 0/7 weeks regardless of ventilatory status. The primary outcome of survival without BPD will be determined at 36 weeks GA and BPD will be defined according to the physiological definition. Study patients will be followed and neurodevelopmental outcomes will be assessed at a corrected age of 18-22 months. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: BPD not only contributes to the mortality of preterm infants but is also associated with impaired neurosensory development in Extremely Low Birth Weight (ELBW) survivors, frequent readmission to hospital in the first 2 years of life, as well as with an increased risk of asthma, lung function abnormalities and persistent respiratory symptoms in adolescence and young adulthood. Systemic corticosteroids are effective in preventing BPD, but their use is practically prohibited given their adverse effects on neurodevelopment. Early inhalation of corticosteroids has been shown to be associated with secondary pulmonary benefits, but its effect on survival without BPD and on neurodevelopment remains unclear.
The purpose of this study is to study the treatment of Atrial Fibrillation and ischemic Ventricular Tachycardia using a RF ablation catheter with contact force sensing capabilities.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of erdosteine, compared to placebo, on exacerbation rate over a 12-month treatment period in patients with moderate-to-severe COPD. Moreover, the effects of erdosteine on pulmonary function parameters, clinical symptoms and quality of life, and the long-term safety of the drug will be assessed.
No head to head comparisons between exenatide once weekly and liraglutide have been performed. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to compare exenatide once weekly to once-daily liraglutide with regard to HbA1c, body weight, subject-reported outcomes, and other clinical benefits. The study includes a 26-week treatment period and a safety follow-up visit 10 weeks after the final study drug dose.
The purpose of this study is to help answer the following research question(s): - To test if taking LY2599506 for 12 weeks controls blood sugar better than taking glyburide for 12 weeks. - To evaluate the safety of LY2599506 in participants with diabetes. - To determine if LY2599506 has the ability to control blood sugar in participants with diabetes. - To determine how much LY2599506 should be given to participants. - To determine if LY2599506 has an effect on a participant's weight. The study design consists of 4 study periods: a screening period, a 4-week dose adjustment period, an 8-week treatment period, and a 4-week follow up period.
