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.
We will examine whether the application of electro-neuro-muscular stimulation (ENMS) in critical care patients, can decrease the impact or severity of the critical illness myopathy (CIM) or neuropathy. We will also assess whether electro-neuro-muscular stimulation affect the incidence density rate of nosocomial pneumonia in the ICU. Patients will be divided into two groups, Group A and Group B chosen at random. In Group A conventional physiotherapy will be applied while in Group B, ENMS will also be applied additional to physiotherapy, in the quadriceps muscles. The total time of applying ENMS will be 1 hour, it will be applied before the start of the physiotherapy per day of hospitalization and for 10 days in each patient. The definition of CIM will be based on pathology muscular biopsy (quadriceps). Patients will undergo biopsy on the 1st and 11th day after entering the study. The technique of Gomori Trichrome will be used to determine the existence or absence of myopathy. In addition the ATPase technique will be applied at different prices of PH (PH: 9,4, PH: 4,6 and PH : 4.3), thus achieving a separation of myopathy and neuropathy. The primary outcome of the study will be the incidence of myopathy in both groups, at day 12th. Considering that the incidence of myopathy in critically ill patients is 80% reducing this rate by 50% in the intervention group using statistical power equal to 0.80 up to a level of p <0.05, 12 number of patients will be required in each group.
The purpose of this study was to generate 16-week efficacy data, as well as up to 3-year efficacy, safety and tolerability data in subjects with active AS despite current or previous NSAID, DMARD and/or anti-TNF therapy.
This global, multicenter, open-label, randomized, controlled study evaluated the efficacy and safety of atezolizumab (an anti-programmed death−ligand 1 [anti-PD-L1] antibody)compared with docetaxel in participants with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after failure with platinum-containing chemotherapy. Participants were randomized 1:1 to receive either docetaxel or atezolizumab. Treatment may continue as long as participants experienced clinical benefit as assessed by the investigator, i.e., in the absence of unacceptable toxicity or symptomatic deterioration attributed to disease progression.
The objective of this non-interventional study is to gather data on adverse reactions occurring with Methylene Blue plasma administered in a routine clinical practice environment; to know more about their characteristics and behaviour and the possible factors that may influence their presentation and evolution.
This clinical observational study aims to investigate the efficacy of olanzapine (Villamos ®) in accordance with the instructions attached thereto in standard clinical practice, followed by the physician to the patient. This is a multicenter, non- interventional observational study , 6-month period without preparing the patient to take the usual his medication . A total of 3 scheduled visits : Visit 1 to Day 0 ( integration , base ) , Visit 2 at month 3 and Visit 3 at month 6 ( = end of treatment) . The purpose of the study is to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of olanzapine in patients who are indicated . Will be monitored and recorded all the different concomitant therapy . The treatment of each patient is an individual designated by the physician , according to standard clinical practice and without any intervention research purpose . During the six months of observation patients visit the clinic at the beginning (day 0 ), intermediate ( 3 months ) and end (month 6). The purpose of these visits is regularly monitored by their doctor for senile dementia and their behavior .
The objective of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of 12 weeks once daily treatment with orally inhaled tiotropium + olodaterol FDC (delivered by the Respimat inhaler) compared with tiotropium and placebo in patients with COPD.
The purpose of this clinical study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Micra Transcatheter Pacing System and to assess long term performance.
The purpose of this clinical research study is the design of a novel modular hybrid system extracorporeal circulation circuit for open heart procedures that could easily be converted from a closed to a semi-closed circuit according to the indication. This could expand the potential of minimal extracorporeal circulation and could ultimately become the new standard circuit in performing every type of cardiac surgery.
The primary purpose of this research study is to see whether adding bavituximab (an investigational drug) to the standard chemotherapy drug docetaxel, will improve the results of the treatment for non-small-cell lung cancer.
The investigators would like to assess whether monovision correction of multifocal lens insertion provides more satisfaction to cataract patients following an uncomplicated phacoemulsification surgery.
