There are about 4372 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Greece. 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 investigators propose to study the safety and efficacy of the combination of Carboplatin plus Gemcitabine in a Phase I/II trial of elderly subjects with non-small cell lung cancer.
A Registry Study to Evaluate the Survival and Long-Term Safety of Subjects Who Previously Received Talimogene Laherparepvec in Amgen or BioVEX-Sponsored Clinical Trials
The study will examine changes in the respiratory system mechanics and in respiratory physiology after exposure of subjects to passive smoking. It is about healthy non-smoking volunteers and it will be carried out through the techniques of forced oscillation with Impulse Oscillometry (IOS) technique methodology and nitrogen washout. The present study will contribute to the understanding of passive smoking consequences on the respiratory system of healthy non-smokers. Thanks to the nitrogen washout technique, changes to closing volume and closing capacity will be examined during measurement in different positions (sitting, decubitus) together with exposure to passive smoking. With IOS methodology, changes in respiratory system resistance in four positions (standing, sitting, right and left lateral decubitus) will be evaluated before and after exposure to a passive smoking environment. Results of the present study are expected to provide interesting information on the changes in measured parameters not only in different positions but also after exposure to smoking.
This Phase III, double-blind, placebo and active-comparator controlled, multicenter study will investigate the efficacy and safety of etrolizumab in induction of remission in participants with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC) who are naIve to tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors and refractory to or intolerant of prior immunosuppressant and/or corticosteroid treatment. In addition to this study, a second Phase III trial with identical study design (GA28948; NCT02163759) was independently conducted.
Background: Intraoperative wound infiltration with local anaesthetic is commonly used. Apart from the obvious immediate action it has been supported that a possible down regulation of pain receptors may lead to longer effects. Our aim was to compare the use of local anaesthetic versus placebo in order to assess if indeed there is a late beneficial effect. Materials and methods: We will conduct a RCT involving 400 consecutive general surgery patients randomized in 2 groups: Group A= placebo, Group B= wound infiltration with ropivacaine 10%. We will record the preoperative and postoperative pain for the 1st week as well as the type and quantity of the analgesia used during the study period. Hypothesis : patients who receive intraoperatively wound infiltration with local anaesthetic have lower pain during the 1st postoperative week and require less pain killers .
Vabomere™, (meropenem-vaborbactam) is being compared to the Best Available Therapy in the treatment of adults with selected serious infections due to Carbapenem Resistant Enterobacteriaceae
Localizing the musculocutaneous nerve for neural blockade is crucial to achieve complete anesthesia of the forearm. However, in pediatric anesthesiology, the musculocutaneous nerve is unable to be blocked in up to 40-50% of cases when only neurostimulation is used, while there is limited information regarding ultrasound imaging of the musculocutaneous nerve in children. The aim of this prospective imaging study is to investigate whether musculocutaneous nerve is visualized in childhood with the use of ultrasound imaging or not. A secondary aim of this study is to assess the percentage of its visualization according to the age. Parental written informed consent is obtained from all participants. The children are divided into three groups according to their age: Group 1, with infants aged less than 12 months; Group 2, with toddlers and preschoolers; and Group 3, with school-aged children (6.5-12 years). Children are placed in the supine position with the involved arm abducted at 90° and the elbow flexed at 90°. The linear probe of a portable ultrasound machine is placed at the axillary region, perpendicularly to the axillary artery. The musculocutaneous nerve is searched near the axillary artery (proximally) and its course is followed distally (into the coracobrachialis muscle). Its sonographic detection is recorded in these two sites, both proximally and distally.
Meropenem-vaborbactam is being compared to piperacillin-tazobactam in the treatment of adults with complicated urinary tract infection (cUTI) or acute pyelonephritis (AP).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ibrutinib in combination with rituximab in participants with Waldenström's macroglobulinemia (WM).
The main objective of this study is to compare a Dual Antithrombotic Therapy (DAT) regimen of 110mg dabigatran etexilate b.i.d. plus clopidogrel or ticagrelor (110mg dabigatran etexilate (DE) DAT) and 150mg dabigatran etexilate b.i.d. plus clopidogrel or ticagrelor (150mg DE-DAT) with a Triple Antithrombotic Therapy (TAT) combination of warfarin plus clopidogrel or ticagrelor plus Aspirin (ASA) <= 100mg once daily (warfarin-TAT) in patients with Atrial Fibrillation that undergo a PCI with stenting (elective or due to an Acute Coronary Syndrome). The study aims to show non-inferiority of each dose of DE-DAT when compared to Warfarin-TAT in terms of safety. Safety will be determined by comparing the rates of bleeding events, assessed using the modified International Society of Thrombosis and Haemostasis classification of Major Bleeding and Clinically Relevant Non Major Bleeding Events.
