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.
This study will collect real-life data from patients with community acquired pneumonia (CAP) OR complicated skin and skin structure infections (cSSSI) to assess the burden of the disease, review the treatment pathways, evaluate how health resources are used and identify any areas of unmet medical needs. The aim of the study is to compare how patients who are admitted to hospital with CAP or cSSSI are managed across Europe. This will be done by collecting data to understand the patient and disease characteristics, current practice of treatment, and outcomes for the patient. Overall 4000 patients will be recruited from 10 European countries.
This randomized, parallel-group, multi-center study will compare the pharmacokinetics and safety of subcutaneous administration of MabThera (rituximab) versus intravenous MabThera in combination with chemotherapy in previously untreated patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). The study consists of 2 parts. In part 1, patients who have previously received 4 cycles of intravenous MabThera will receive in Cycle 5 intravenous MabThera and in Cycle 6 subcutaneous MabThera. In part 2, patients will be randomized to receive either 6 cycles of intravenous MabThera, or 1 cycle of intravenous MabThera and 5 cycles of subcutaneous MabThera. Additionally, all patients will receive chemotherapy (fludarabine and cyclophosphamide) on Days 1-3 or Days 1-5 of every cycle. The anticipated time on study drug is 24 weeks.
1. To demonstrate that colistin iv. is not inferior to meropenem in empiric treatment of VAP regarding the final point of primary efficacy: mortality in the 28 subsequent days and clinical healing in patients clinically evaluated. 2. To compare the safety of treatment with colistin vs meropenem in VAP. 3. To compare microbiological efficacy of treatment with colistin vs meropenem in VAP
AKINESIS is a clinical study to assess the utility of blood and urine NGAL tests in predicting worsening kidney function in patients who present with acute heart failure (AHF) and who are treated with diuretics. It is believed that rising NGAL levels in the blood and/or urine can predict acute kidney injury. It is also believed that patients who are admitted to the hospital with high NGAL levels in the blood/urine will have poorer outcomes.
Consumption of vitamin supplements is a common practice among athletes or people participating in health promoting exercise programs. The reason for this interest in vitamin supplements is primarily because of the observation that enhanced production of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) influence fundamental biological processes, such as gene expression, signal transduction and enzyme activity. In a muscle and exercise physiology context, a low level of RONS is required for normal force production, whereas marked increases in RONS can cause contractile dysfunction, resulting in muscle weakness and fatigue. On the other hand RONS are involved in signaling pathways and serve to up-regulate the expression of a number of genes and can exert favorable effects such as training adaptations. The present study will employ a valid eccentric exercise model to examine the influence of combined vitamin C and E supplementation after acute and chronic eccentric exercise on muscle damage and performance, redox status, hemolysis and lipid and lipoprotein profile.
This study will investigate the efficacy and long term safety and tolerability of BI 10773 in type 2 diabetic patients.
This is a proof of concept study to determine the efficacy and safety of a monoclonal antibody with three doses versus placebo. Subjects will be randomized to a treatment and the dose will be delivered subcutaneously twice, 4 weeks apart. All subjects will have moderate to severe refractory Crohn's Disease.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of bortezomib on myeloma-related bone disease, analyzing bone mineral density (BMD) in patients with Multiple Myeloma (MMY) who have received high dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation for primary treatment of MMY (single- or double-transplant). Eligible patients will be randomized (study treatment assigned by chance like flipping a coin) to either bortezomib or observation alone. Patients in the bortezomib arm will receive treatment of bortezomib for a total of 4 cycles. All subjects will be followed for a total of 24 months after randomization.
The aim of this prospective study is to assess the utility of treatment of leg ulcers using a skin substitute, Integra®, assessing the quality of wound skin healing and transcutaneous oxygen pressure in the distal region of the wound. This is a multi-centre study on 60 patients who have a lower limb ulcer.
The aim of the study is to asses the hydration status of incident peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients and its evolution over a period of four years, independent of the PD treatment modality (APD or CAPD) and the PD solution type.
