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 Phase 2/3 study that comprises 5 substudies designed to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of oral etrasimod as therapy in adult participants with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease (CD) who are refractory or intolerant to at least 1 of the current therapies for CD (ie, corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, or biologics). The overall duration of this study is up to 282 weeks, inclusive of the Screening Period, Treatment Period of up to 274 weeks (Induction, Extension or Maintenance, and Long-term Extension Periods), and the 4-Week Follow-Up Period for safety assessment.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety of zanubrutinib regimens in participants with B-cell malignancies who participated in a BeiGene parent study for zanubrutinib.
A study to examine post-prandial gut-hormone secretion, meal-induced thermogenesis, fasting plasma metabolomic/lipidomic and cardiovascular indices among surgically managed obese individuals in the long term compared to conservatively managed obese patients.
This is an open-label, non-comparator, global, multi-center, long-term safety study for evaluating safety and tolerability of linerixibat in participants with cholestatic pruritus in primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) who participated in a prior clinical trial with linerixibat (BAT117123 [NCT01899703], 201000 GLIMMER [NCT02966834] (group 1) or 212620 GLISTEN [NCT00210418]) (group 2). All participants will receive open-label linerixibat for the duration of the study. The study duration is expected to last until the study's end or until linerixibat can be lawfully made available to participants. However, the total duration of study participation will vary by participant depending upon the time of entry relative to study end in their respective country.
Long-term variability analysis of peak expiratory flow (PEF) and forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) has been successfully used in research to predict the exacerbation of the disease in adult individuals with asthma. However, there is a paucity of data regarding PEF and FEV1 variability in asthmatic children and adolescents. Such a task requires at least daily PEF and FEV1 measurements, recording in diaries, and periodic evaluation of the data. The process may be proven both complicated and time consuming, thus reducing patients' adherence. Recent advances in biosensor technology have permitted the development of reliable, low-cost, portable spirometers, able to connect with smartphones and monitor lung function parameters in real time and from a distance. The objectives of the present study is the assessment of PEF and FEV1 variability: a) in healthy children and adolescents, in order to define the normal daily fluctuation of PEF and FEV1 and the parameters that may influence it, and b) in children and adolescents with asthma, in order to explore the differences from healthy subjects and reveal any specific variability changes prior to exacerbation. Such data would improve our understanding regarding the disease and permit the development of integrated tools for assessing the level of asthma control and the risk of future exacerbations. The study will include 100 healthy children and adolescents aged 6 to 18 years for the assessment of normal PEF and FEV1 variability, and 100 children and adolescents of the same age with diagnosed asthma for the assessment of PEF and FEV1 variability in asthmatics. PEF and FEV1 measurements will be performed using an FDA-approved portable spirometer (MIR Spirobank Smart) capable to connect to smartphone. Each participant will receive his personal spirometer. Measurements will be performed twice a day between 07:00-09:00 and 19:00-21:00 hours and dispatched via email to a central database for a period of 3 months. PEF and FEV1 variability will be assessed by detrended fluctuation analysis, aiming to define the normal pattern (healthy controls) and to detect and quantify the deviations (asthmatics). The anticipated duration of the study is 24 months.
Pain is a global public health issue and represents the most common reason for both physician consultation and hospital admissions. Dexketoprofen is a new NSAID treating acute postoperative pain. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the analgesic effect when it is given intravenously or as part of the local infiltration analgesia in patients under spinal anesthesia undergoing unilateral total knee arthroplasty.
The ORALEV Study found that preoperative oral antibiotics can reduce the incidence of surgical site infections after colonic resection, compared with no preparation. The role of mechanical bowel preparation in patients needing colonic surgery is yet to be elucidated. No randomised controlled trials have assessed the impact of mechanical bowel preparation combined with oral antibiotics on the incidence of surgical site infections after colonic surgery, compared with oral antibiotics only.
60 patients ASA I-III, undergoing orthopedic surgery will be randomly assigned into one of three groups, namely group A (n=20), where dexmedetomidine will be used for sedation (initial bolus dose followed by continuous infusion), group B (n=20) where midazolam will be used for sedation (initial bolus dose followed by continuous infusion) and group C (n=20), where remifentanil will be used for sedation (initial bolus dose followed by continuous infusion). All patients will receive spinal anesthesia. Duration of postoperative analgesia, total dose of patient controlled IV morphine, sedation scores, nausea and vomiting, time of ambulation, sleep quality and patient satisfaction will be recorded for the first postoperative day. Additionally chronic pain on the site of surgery will be recorded in 3 and 6 months postoperatively.
This is a Phase 2a study to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics (PK) of luspatercept in pediatric participants with β-thalassemia. The study will be conducted in 2 parts for both transfusion-dependent (TD) and non-transfusion-dependent (NTD) β-thalassemia participants: TD Part A will be in adolescent participants aged 12 to <18 years with two dose escalation cohorts, followed by a dose expansion cohort. NTD Part A will be conducted in the same age group participants as TD Part A with dose confirmation and expansion phase. After Part A TD participants have completed at least one year of treatment, all available safety data from Part A adolescent participants will be evaluated before initiating TD and NTD Part B in the age group from 6 to <12 years old. Part B will consist of two dose escalation cohorts for TD and two dose escalation cohorts for NTD. Upon completion of the Treatment Period, participants of any cohort who are benefiting from the study treatment, will be offered the opportunity to continue luspatercept treatment in the Long-term Treatment Period for up to 5 years from their first dose. Participants who discontinue study treatment at any time will continue in the Posttreatment Follow-up Period for at least 5 years from their first dose of luspatercept, or 3 years from their last dose, whichever occurs later, or until they withdraw consent/assent, are lost to follow-up, or the End of Trial, whichever occurs first.
In this observational study researcher want to learn more about the effectiveness of drug VITRAKVI (generic name: larotrectinib) and how well the drug is tolerated during routine use in patients with TRK fusion cancer which is locally advanced or spread from the place where it started to other places in the body. TRK fusion cancer is a term used to describe a variety of common and rare cancers that are caused by a change to the NTRK (Neurotrophic Tyrosine Kinase) gene called a fusion. During this fusion, an NTRK gene joins together, or fuses, with a different gene. This joining results in the activation of certain proteins (TRK fusion proteins), which can cause cancer cells to multiply and form a tumor. VITRAKVI is an approved drug that blocks the action of the NTRK gene fusion. This study will enroll adult and paediatric patients suffering from a solid tumor with NTRK gene fusion for whom the decision to treat their disease with VITRAKVI has been made by their treating physicians. During the study, patients' medical information such as treatment information with VITRAKVI, other medication or treatments, changes in disease status and other health signs and symptoms will be collected within the normal medical care by the treating doctor. Participants will be observed over a period from 24 to 60 months.
