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 is a study of TAK-755 in adults with immune-mediated thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (iTTP). The main aim of this study is to determine the percentage of participants with a clinical response without plasma exchange during the study. Participants who have an acute attack of iTTP will receive TAK-755 and immunosuppressive therapy during their stay at the hospital until they achieve a clinical response. Participants will also be treated with TAK-755 for an additional time of up to 6 weeks after the acute phase. In total, participants will stay in the study for approximately 3 months.
The purpose of this research protocol is to compare open versus laparoscopic right colectomy (according to the CME technique of complete mesocolic excision) for right colon cancer. This study will be designed as a prospective randomized controlled trial. The comparison of the two techniques will include endpoints regarding the quality characteristics of the specimens and the oncological results. In addition, the effectiveness of the two methods will be evaluated in terms of the early and late postoperative period.
In the present study, the investigators aim to examine a) the acceptability and feasibility of the "Life Skills Boot Camp", a series of soft skills trainings for students in higher education. The acceptability and feasibility will be explored from the perspective of stakeholders, including students participating in trainings and trainers who provide them; b) to evaluate potential effectiveness of the training by measuring students' acquired knowledge and improvement on self-insight.
The mechanical alterations related to the overload of respiratory muscles observed in people with persistent asthma can lead to the development of musculoskeletal dysfunctions. Moreover, the produced lung hyperinflation and high lung volumes in the asthma crisis put the diaphragm at a disadvantage in terms of its length-tension curve and lowered its excursion and capacity to generate force. According to a preliminary study, manual therapy (MT) techniques can be used as adjunctive therapy in asthma treatment. The proposed protocol is the first randomized controlled clinical trial to assess MT's efficacy on the diaphragm's ZOA in conjunction with BRE in individuals with well controlled mild moderate and severe asthma. Many musculoskeletal and respiratory outcomes will be used to investigate the under-study therapies' impact.
Mepolizumab is a biologic agent already approved for severe asthma. Recently, there is increasing evidence concerning the benefit of anti-IL5 treatments upon patients with nasal polyposis with or without severe asthma. The novelty of this project is that no biologic agent has yet been fully investigated to identify any biomarkers of response for patients with nasal polyps with or without asthma including sinonasal tissue remodeling a key element in the resultant histopathological changes of the inflammation. The investigation of airway remodeling of various locations (nose and bronchus) under mepolizumab treatment will be our primary objective on the long-term basis of 156 weeks of treatment. Endobronchial and nasal biopsies will be performed as routine care for tissue evauation and disease investigation for every patient. Besides, the united airways will provide better guidance for medical treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) patients with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) and asthma. The initial idea is based on investigating the characteristics that could predict the effectiveness of mepolizumab on patients with nasal polyposis with or without asthma. Patients will receive 39 doses of mepolizumab for 156 weeks. An additional aim of this study is to identify characteristics of non-responders and responders to mepolizumab. Responders will be identified based on airway remodeling status, biomarkers in tissue and secretion samples and on the reduction of the need of surgery through Lund-Kennedy endoscopic score, Lund-Mackay score and patient's clinical status in the 6th, 12th and 36th month after the initiation of treatment. Regarding the unified airway system, nose and pharyngeal microbiome will be evaluated before and after 52 weeks of mepolizumab treatment in patients with nasal polyps whereas in patients with nasal polyps and asthma bronchus microbiome will also be evaluated. Lung samples will help gain information about the inflammatory profile and local microbiome of CRSwNP patients with asthma through molecular and cellular assays. The human Pharyngeal Microbiome might play a protective role in Respiratory Tract Infections and it has been reported that the microbiome provides critical signals to promote maturation of immune cells and differentiation of the tissue. Thus, we will make an effort to correlate microbiome of various locations with clinical and laboratory characteristics of responders and non-responders to mepolizumab treatment.
The goal of this registry database is to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of functional ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation using SENSE protocol in patients with ischaemic VT. Mortality and the need for ICD therapies at 12 months post-ablation will be compared with propensity-matched controls undergoing substrate-based ablation alone.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the knowledge, beliefs and expectations of patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain about their physiotherapy program and the relationship that they built with physiotherapists.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of rocatinlimab in monotherapy and combination therapy treatment in adolescent subjects.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether milvexian compared to placebo reduce the risk of recurrent ischemic stroke.
The main aim of this study is to establish whether Mastiha products ameliorate functional dyspepsia symptoms.
