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 evaluate the efficacy and safety of deferasirox in combination with deferoxamine followed be deferasirox monotherapy in patients with severe iron overload due to chronic blood transfusions.
Although the impact of disease and treatment related burden on health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in patients with solid tumours has been well studied, with several clinical trials that included HRQOL as an endpoint, the general understanding in patients with Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia (CML) is lacking in comparison. The literature shows that patients' perspective is unique and should always be measured with methodologically sound instruments that are devised for this purpose. The main scope of this project is develop to an international validated questionnaire for the purpose of HRQOL assessment; such a tool will then be used to provide important data, from the patients' perspective, to make more informed treatment decisions.
In this study all patients will be treated with the same medicine, the QUTENZA patch. Subjects will receive up to 6 QUTENZA patch applications over 12 months.
This randomized, open-label, parallel-group study will assess the efficacy and s afety of Avastin (bevacizumab) in combination with chemotherapy versus chemother apy alone as second- and third-line therapy in patients with locally recurrent o r metastatic breast cancer progressing after first-line therapy with Avastin and chemotherapy. Patients will be randomized to receive either Avastin (15 mg/kg e very 3 weeks or 10 mg/kg every 2 weeks intravenously) plus standard chemotherapy or chemotherapy alone. Anticipated time on study treatment is until third-line disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs.
Adequate postoperative analgesia can facilitate recovery following gastric bypass surgery for morbid obesity. The efficacy and safety of intravenous patient - controlled analgesia has been studied, but up to date no data are available concerning the use of thoracic epidural patient-controlled analgesia regarding the use of levobupivacaine combined with morphine in morbidly obese patients. The investigators' aim in this prospective, randomized, double-blinded study was to compare the analgesic effectiveness, the dose requirements and side effects of thoracic epidural patient controlled analgesia 0.1% and 0.2% levobupivacaine combined with a continuous epidural administration of morphine, with or without a loading dose, after open gastric bypass for morbid obesity.
The purpose of this randomized trial was to examine the value of the review on the first postoperative day after uneventful phacoemulsification cataract surgery.
This is a two-arm, open-label, randomized Phase III study comparing single agent GSK1120212 to chemotherapy (either dacarbazine or paclitaxel) in subjects with Stage IIIc or Stage IV malignant cutaneous melanoma. All subjects must have a BRAF mutation-positive tumour sample. Subjects who have received up to one prior regimen of chemotherapy in the advanced or metastatic melanoma setting will be enrolled into the study. Subjects with any prior BRAF or MEK inhibitor use will be excluded. Approximately 297 subjects will be enrolled with 2:1 randomization (198 subjects into the GSK1120212 arm and 99 subjects into the chemotherapy arm). The primary endpoint for the statistical analysis will be a comparison of progression free survival for subjects receiving GSK1120212 compared to chemotherapy. Subjects who have progression on chemotherapy will be offered the option to receive GSK1120212.
The aim of the study is to investigate the longterm impact on cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, relevant efficacy parameters (e.g., glycaemic parameters) and safety (e.g., weight and hypoglycaemia) of treatment with linagliptin in patients with type 2 diabetes at elevated cardiovascular risk receiving usual care, and compare outcome against glimepiride.
Compare efficacy and safety of Lacosamide (LCM) to Carbamazepine Controlled-Release (CBZ-CR) as monotherapy in newly or recently newly diagnosed subjects with a primary efficacy endpoint of 6-month seizure freedom. Noninferiority design to show a similar risk/benefit balance between Lacosamide (LCM) and Carbamazepine-CR (CBZ-CR).
The primary objective of this observational study is to document and describe current treatment regimens and disease progression of patients with Multiple Myeloma (MMY). The aim of this registry is to provide accurate, descriptive information on the way Multiple Myeloma is treated in routine clinical practice. The registry will collect information related to the treatment received for Multiple Myeloma. About 3000 patients will take part in the study in about 28 countries. The registry will only collect information that is already in medical files regarding treatment. Patients will not be required to actively do anything in addition to what would be done without participating in this registry, nor will there be any procedures or interventions that are not already part of the current treatment.
