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 primary objective of this study is to determine whether reslizumab is more effective than placebo in reducing the number of clinical asthma exacerbations (CAEs) in patients with eosinophilic asthma.
This observational, multi-center, open-label study will evaluate the prognostic factors of long-term-response and the safety of Pegasys (peginterferon alfa-2a) in patients with HbeAg-negative chronic hepatitis B. Data will be collected for 96 weeks.
This study explores the tolerability, safety and efficacy (i.e. how well the drug works) of flexibly dosed paliperidone palmitate in the treatment of schizophrenia in patients previously unsuccessfully treated with other oral or long-acting injectable (LAI) (i.e. with a long duration of action) antipsychotics.
A 6-month, parallel, non-interventional trial investigating the level of adherence and the impact of dosing in open-angle glaucoma patients who receive either unfixed therapy with latanoprost once in the evening and timolol twice daily, or latanoprost/timolol fixed combination therapy once in the evening. All patients participating in this observational study will be monitored for their adherence with the use of Medication Event Monitoring System (MEMS). At the end of treatment periods treatment satisfaction will be assessed with selected questions from the Treatment Satisfaction Survey-Intraocular Pressure survey. This study will monitor objectively, for the first time, adherence and intraocular pressure control with fixed versus unfixed therapy. Finally it will help us to elucidate the impact of dosing (once-a-day versus three-times-daily) on the level of adherence in glaucoma.
The investigators aim to investigate whether central systolic blood pressure, as measured during regular 24 hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM), is a better predictor of left ventricular mass than peripheral systolic blood pressure during ABPM.
This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) plus peginterferon α-2a (PEG) combination therapy versus standard of care TDF monotherapy or PEG monotherapy in non-cirrhotic adults with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV). The study will consist of 2 phases for participants in the TDF+PEG 48 week, TDF 48 week+PEG 16 week, and PEG 48 week groups. Following an initial 48 weeks of treatment, participants in these groups will be monitored for 24 weeks for signs of worsening HBV, and those with new signs and/or symptoms will be eligible to receive TDF monotherapy during a retreatment phase, up to Week 120.
The protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 22 (PTPN22) gene encodes a lymphoid-specific phosphatase (LYP) which is an important downregulatory factor of T cell activation. A PTPN22 polymorphism, C1858T, was found associated with T1DM in different Caucasian populations. In this observational case-control study, we aimed at confirming the role of PTPN22, C1858T polymorphism in T1DM predisposition in a Greek population.
Neurological complications occur in open heart surgery with a frequency of 40% and they range from major neurological deficits (due to a stroke) to neurocognitive and behavioral disorders. This study aims to determine if erythromycin, a worldwide known antibiotic, protects the brain from damage when given in high doses before and during open heart surgery. The investigators consume that high dose of erythromycin will protect the brain with a pharmacological preconditioning against the global ischemia during the perioperative period of heart surgery.
The investigators attempted to establish a rationale for the Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone-agonist (GnRH-a) administration, post-laparoscopically, in women with mild endometriosis (until stage II, according to AFS) who underwent IVF-ET procedure. Since GnRH-a reduces cytokine's concentration in serum (Iwabe et al., 1998; Iwabe et al., 2003) and peritoneal fluid of women with endometriosis (Taketani et al., 1992) the investigators hypothesized that GnRH-a can reduces also cytokine's concentration in the follicular fluid and this action may improve the oocyte quality and the fertility of these women.
This is a non-interventional, prospective, longitudinal cohort study. A total of 150 pediatric subjects with glaucoma or elevated intraocular pressure, including 75 latanoprost-treated subjects and 75 non-topical prostaglandin analogue treated subjects, will be enrolled from ophthalmic hospital clinics and academic ophthalmic centers. As a non-interventional study, the study subjects' continued use of latanoprost and assessments of ocular events will be obtained through the routine medical follow-up with treating ophthalmologists or other designated members of the medical care team.
