There are about 1447 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Croatia. 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 purpose of this study is to evaluate the association of signals recorded and analysed with Ventica® Lung Function Testing System (LFTS) in infants and pre-schoolers during the whole night sleep with the gold standard for sleep recording events, polysomnography, in order to better understand the confounding factors for momentary changes in the impedance pneumography-derived tidal breathing flow-volume (TBFV) curves.
The objectives of Sub-Study 1 are to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of risankizumab as induction treatment in subjects with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC), and to identify the appropriate induction dose of risankizumab for further evaluation in Sub-Study 2. The objective of Sub-Study 2 is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of risankizumab compared to placebo in inducing clinical remission in subjects with moderately to severely active UC.
A committee will judge the safety and effectiveness of edoxaban and the regular treatment (standard of care). All children in the study will receive free treatment. They will have a 2 in 3 chance to receive edoxaban, and a 1 in 3 chance to receive the standard of care for preventing blood clots. The study will find out if edoxaban is safer and more effective than the standard of care.
The objectives of this study are to evaluate the efficacy, safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of PF-06651600 (200 mg for 8 weeks followed by 50 mg for 4 weeks) dosed once daily and PF-06700841 (60 mg for 12 weeks) dosed once daily during an induction period of 12 weeks, followed by an open label extension period at doses of 50 mg and 30 mg of PF 06651600 and PF 06700841, respectively, for 52 weeks.
The congestive heart failure (HF) is a condition associated with substantial morbidity, mortality, and high healthcare expenditures. From the pathophysiological standpoint, several mechanisms contribute to the progression and dysfunction of the failing heart such as an increased hemodynamic overload, impaired myocyte calcium cycling, upregulated apoptotic activity, deficient or increased production of extracellular matrix, genetic predilections and, finally, excessive neurohumoral stimulation. The vasoactive neurohumoral systems such as sympathetic nervous system, renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) and arginine vasopressin (AVP) system all play a role in maintaining volume and circulatory homeostasis in the situation of impaired cardiac output. Catestatin (CST), on another hand, is a novel endogenous peptide cleaved from chromogranin A (CgA) that is involved in the regulation of cardiac function and arterial blood pressure. The role of this peptide is to elicit potent catecholamine release-inhibitory activity by acting at the level of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. Therefore, the main hypothesis of this study is that the observed serum CST levels will reflect the degree of neurohormonal activation in HF, showing a significant relationship with the degree of disease severity as measured by relevant functional classifications (such as NYHA class and/or similar). Secondly, investigators expect to detect correlation of catestatin serum levels with the established risk stratification scores in HF and with the echocardiographic parameters of the ventricular function, both in terms of systolic and diastolic cardiac function. Parameters of inflammation, NT-proBNP, hs-cTnI, renal function parameters, and basic hematologic/biochemistry indices from peripheral blood will also be obtained and analyzed for all study participants. Furthermore, according to the latest European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic HF, participants with established congestive HF and the whole spectrum of left ventricular ejection fractions ranging from <40% to ≥50% will be included in the study. Finally, all echocardiographic and laboratory parameters obtained from peripheral blood will be recorded and compared with respective healthy and matched control participants while participants diagnosed with HF will additionally be analyzed for potential differences between subgroups of interest.
Lighter tooth color may improve patient satisfaction with facial aesthetics. Few data exist regarding the impact and association of of tooth color connection with quality of life.The purpose of this research is to explore the extent to which patients perceive a color change and difference in quality of life induced by tooth whitening after one week and after one year. A plan is to assess 100 participants for eligibility (aged 18-30 years) and to enroll at least 70 and randomly assign to an active or a control group (equal number of participans in each group). Their anterior teeth in both jaws will be bleached with a photo-activated whitening gel, or will be subjected to a placebo. Lightness, chroma and translucency of teeth will be assessed before (T0), one week (T1) and one year (T2) after the procedure by a spectrophotometer. The subjects in both occasions will administrate the psychometric instrumetns Psychosocial Impact of Dental Aesthetics Questionnaire, Orofacial Esthetic Scale, Oral Health Impact Profile and Smile Esthetics Related Quality of Life. Influence of personality traits on the perception of changes in smile aesthetics and qualiy of life will be also explored (extraversion, conscientiousness, neuroticism, agreeableness, openness to experience, perfectionism, self-esteem, body image).
The purpose of this study was to gather and evaluate additional safety and efficacy data on the combination of midostaurin and standard of care for adult patients with newly diagnosed Fms-like tyrosine kinase receptor (FLT3) mutated Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) who were eligible for standard induction and consolidation
The investigators are doing this study to see the effect of insulin degludec in pregnant women with type 1 diabetes, and if it is safe to use. In this study the medicine insulin degludec is compared to another medicine called insulin detemir. Participants will either get insulin degludec or insulin detemir and take it together with a medicine called insulin aspart - which treatment participants get is decided by chance. Participants will get pre-filled insulin pens. Participants will need to take blood sugar measurements several times a day. The study will last between 10 and 25 months depending on whether participants are already pregnant when they join the study. The number of visits and the tests ( for example blood and urine samples and ultrasound scans) the participants will have also depends on whether they are pregnant at study start.
This study is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of long-term treatment with PF-06741086 in subjects with severe hemophilia who participated in the 3-month Phase 1b/2 B7841002 study. Additionally, de novo subjects will be recruited into this study.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate treatment of advanced Parkinson's Disease (PD) patients on levodopa-carbidopa intestinal gel (LCIG) monotherapy in a routine clinical setting.
