There are about 2333 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Ireland. 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.
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of lenalidomide, rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R2-CHOP) chemotherapy versus placebo, rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (placebo-R-CHOP) chemotherapy in patients who have previously untreated ABC type DLBCL.
This study aims to investigate the activity patterns of the peroneal muscle group, in individuals with a history of chronic ankle instability (CAI) of the ankle injuries compared with individuals without ankle problems. The study also aims to determine the effect of a targeted exercise programme on this muscle group in patients with CAI. Research on this topic may provide important insight on the roles of these muscles in chronic ankle instability and investigate whether specific strengthening programmes are effective in this complex patient category.
Remote ischemic Preconditioning (RIPC) is a phenomena first observed in cardio-thoracic patients in which exposing the limbs for periods of short intermittent ischemia produces protective effect on heart muscle. The concept was applied to many other parts of the body and the results are positive so far. No human trials on this concept has been conducted in patients with peripheral vascular disease so far but applying the concept for healthy individuals shows vessels dilatation and animal trials shows degree of new vessels formation in addition to reports of symptoms improvement. The trial candidates will be allocated blindly in 4 groups. All groups will have advice about exercise which is the standard practice now. The first group will have supervised exercise. The second group will in addition to the supervised exercise get the ischemic preconditioning with the blood pressure cuff. The third group will get the ischemic preconditioning and the fourth group will get the standard exercise advice. All candidates will have Magnetic Resonance Image Scan (MRA) for their blood vessels in the beginning of the trial and again at the end. The effect of the RIPC (Remote ischemic Preconditioning) and exercises on patient symptoms, new vessel formation and other parameters will be recorded
The purpose of this study is to determine if there is a rise in serum high sensitivity troponin T (a marker for heart muscle injury) following a direct current cardioversion (shock therapy) used for patients with atrial fibrillation. This will help us determine if direct current cardioversion results in damage to the heart muscles in a sufficient amount to cause a rise in high sensitivity troponin T.
To compare the systemic exposure of a single dose of 400 µg of OPTINOSE FLUTICASONE with 440 µg of Flovent® HFA (fluticasone propionate) Inhalation Aerosol in asthmatic subjects.
This study evaluates the effectiveness of a mental health mobile app (CopeSmart) in promoting positive mental health through emotional self-awareness in adolescents. Participants will be recruited from second-level schools in Ireland. Schools will be randomly assigned to the intervention or control condition. Participants in the intervention condition will use CopeSmart for a four week period. Those in the control condition will not use any mental health app.
This is a safety and efficacy study of onabotulinumtoxinA in subjects with forehead and glabellar facial rhytides (frown lines).
The main objective of the study is to evaluate whether the extended duration fidaxomicin therapy is superior to the standard vancomycin therapy in sustained clinical cure of CDI at 30 days after end of treatment (Day 40 or Day 55).
The primary objective of this study is to assess glomerular function before and during administration of stribild (STB; elvitegravir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (E/C/F/TDF)) or a regimen containing TDF without cobicistat (COBI) as ritonavir (RTV)-boosted atazanavir (ATV/r) plus truvada (TVD; FTC/TDF) or atripla (ATR; efavirenz/emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (EFV/FTC/TDF)) compared to a regimen containing neither TDF nor COBI as ATV/r plus abacavir/lamivudine (ABC/3TC) via determination of actual glomerular filtration rate (aGFR) using iohexol (a probe GFR marker) plasma clearance and estimated (calculated) glomerular filtration rate (eGFR).
The purpose of this study is to determine whether low level laser light therapy is effective in the treatment of toenail onychomycosis.
