There are about 1282 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Lithuania. 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 goal of this clinical trial is to investigate how walking in different environments affects the psychophysiological responses to the stress of individuals with coronary artery disease (CAD) according to their weather sensitivity. Awareness about the potential influence of weather sensitivity on the psychophysiological reactions to stress in patients with CAD disease may contribute to the planning and implementation of actions leading to improved medical care services and preventative measures that help to avoid the worsening of health and well-being in the future.
A prospective, single arm, exploratory clinical investigation to assess preliminary safety and collect performance and effectiveness data of the TRIFLO Heart Valve.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major cause of disability and death worldwide. People with COPD often have cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) that are associated with increased risk for hospitalization and prolonged stay as well as all-cause and CVD-related mortality. Nevertheless, CVDs in patients with COPD are tend to be underestimated in clinical practice. Mechanisms that define the relation between COPD and cardiovascular morbidity include lung hyperinflation, hypoxia, pulmonary hypertension, systemic inflammation and oxidative stress, exacerbation, shared risk factors and COPD phenotypes. Recently, some authors have announced that COPD treatment with dual bronchodilation may not only improve pulmonary function and quality of life, but also have a positive effect on cardiac function in cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or two-dimensional cardiac ultrasound for the assessments. The aim of this study is to specify the state of respiratory and cardiovascular systems as well as exercise capacity and quality of life in patients with newly diagnosed moderate-to-severe COPD and to evaluate their changes after short-term treatment with dual bronchodilation. We hypothesize that patients with newly diagnosed COPD and no previous records of cardiac diseases and no apparent signs of heart failure have significantly impaired cardiac autonomic integrity that precedes to increased risk of cardiovascular events. It is believed that cardiac autonomic integrity might significantly improve with dual bronchodilation therapy.

The research will investigate the hypothesis that timely identification of the optimal value of the cerebral perfusion pressure (optCPP) or optimal arterial blood pressure (optABP) is possible after detecting informative episodes of arterial blood pressure (ABP) that reflects the physiological autoregulatory reactions of the cerebral blood flow, This biomedical study will be conducted to test this hypothesis and to develop an algorithm for identification of optimal brain perfusion pressure within limited time (several tens of minutes). The goal of this observational study is to test the method of timely optimal cerebral perfusion pressure value or optimal arterial pressure value in intensive care patients after brain surgery. The main question it aims to answer are: how long it takes to identify optimal cerebral perfusion value when arterial blood pressure is changing within safe physiological limits. Objectives of the study 1. To perform a prospective observational study by collecting multimodal physiological brain monitoring data: intracranial pressure (ICP), arterial blood pressure (ABP), End-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2), cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV), ECG. 2. To perform a retrospective analysis of the accumulated clinical monitoring data, in order to create an algorithm for the identification of informative monitoring data fragments, according to which it would be possible to identify the optimal cerebral perfusion pressure (optCPP) value in a limited time interval (within a few or a dozen minutes). 3. To perform a retrospective analysis of accumulated clinical monitoring data, determining correlations of cerebral blood flow autoregulation and optCPP-related parameters with the clinical outcome of patients and with the risk of cerebral vasospasm or cerebral ischemia.
The purpose of the first phase of this feasibility study is to gather safety and performance data on MAGiC to support European marketing approval.
The integration of teleconsultation (TC) and telemonitoring (TM) in cancer patients care may allow to improve person-centered care and patients' empowerment. The eCAN JA explores the role of telemedicine tools (i.e. TC & TM) in clinical trials focusing on tele-rehabilitation and tele-psychological support in different populations of cancer patients in 10 European countries. The pilots will be conducted among 354 patients affected by breast (BC, pilot 1a), head & neck (H&N, pilot 1b) and advanced (pilot 2) cancers. The main aim is to assess the effect of TC and TM program focused on rehabilitation and psychological support for cancer patients on patient reported outcomes measures (PROMs) in three pilots compare to usual care. Patients will be randomly assigned either to the intervention or control groups using a 1:1 ratio. Patients in the intervention group will receive weekly TC of 30 minutes during 8 weeks through the secure Edumeet platform. In pilot 1, tele-rehabilitation training will be performed by a remote physiotherapist and will consist of a series of rehabilitation exercises. In pilot 2, tele-psychological support will be performed by a remote psychologist and will consist of techniques for managing emotions and stress. In the intervention group, patients will also have the possibility to wear a smartwatch to automatically collect physical parameters. Patients in the control group will receive usual care. PROMs (i.e. quality of life, distress and pain) and physical parameters (i.e. physical activity, sleep quality and heart rate) will be monitored by a dedicated telemonitoring systems. A secure web platform will provide dashboard to clinicians for decision support. Patients' experience and costs data will be also collected. The results of the eCAN project will improve our knowledge on benefits and risks for TC and TM in cancer patients care.
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the possibility to predict clinical course of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) patients by performing the retrospective analysis of clinical data available in early pre-vasospasm phase. The main questions it aims to answer are: - What biomarkers retrieved from Computed Tomography (CT) and Computed Tomography Angiography (SAH location, leaked blood volume, cerebrospinal fluid volume, etc.) can be used to predict development of cerebral vasospasms, delayed cerebral ischemia and patients' outcome. - What biomarkers retrieved from transcranial Doppler examinations in early pre vasospasm can be used to predict development of cerebral vasospasms, delayed cerebral ischemia and patients' outcome. - What biomarkers retrieved from multimodal physiological monitoring in early pre vasospasm can be used to predict development of cerebral vasospasms, delayed cerebral ischemia and patients' outcome. - What is impact of other clinical data (blood test results, age, gender, etc.) on development of cerebral vasospasms and delayed cerebral ischemia.
Lung cancer remains one of the most commonly diagnosed oncological diseases worldwide and the first in terms of mortality. Although immune checkpoint inhibitors form the backbone of current metastatic non-small cell lung cancer treatments, there is still no ideal predictive marker for its efficacy and patients still achieve suboptimal results in overall response and survival. While immune checkpoint inhibitors are known to shift systemic anti-tumor immune response from suppression to stimulation in some patients, the investigators hypothesize that this effect can be further enhanced by cryotherapy, especially in "cold" tumors. If proven successful, cryotherapy in combination with immunotherapy, could potentiate a more powerful immune response compared to systemic therapy alone, improve overall response rate, patients' survival without disease progression, and overall survival. The investigators, therefore, aim to use combined local tumor cryotherapy, combined with immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy to induce and evaluate systemic anti-tumor T lymphocyte response and achieve improved non-small cell lung cancer patient outcomes than with immunotherapy alone.
