There are about 160 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Luxembourg. 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.
we propose to randomize patients with hormone resistant prostate cancer between docetaxel/estramustine/prednisone and docetaxel/prednisone in a phase II study. The principal endpoint will be the efficacy in term of PSA response.
This study was to find out if patients with Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis treated with Interferon beta-1a had an improved quality of life after treatment with Interferon beta-1a
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of bortezomib in participants with multiple myeloma who have previously responded to a bortezomib based therapy.
The purpose of this study is to provide early access of TMC125 to HIV-1 infected patients who have failed multiple antiretroviral (ARV) regimens. Information on safety and tolerability aspects of TMC125 in combination with other ARVs in treatment-experienced HIV-1 patients with limited treatment options will be assessed. Available data regarding the effectiveness of the drug will also be collected. To be eligible, patients should be failing their current ARV regimen or be on a treatment interruption, should have previously received 2 different protease inhibitor (PI) containing regimens and be at least 3-class experienced (protease inhibitors [PI], nucleoside/tide reverse transcriptase inhibitors [N[t]RTIs] and non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors [NNRTIs]) or at least 2-class experienced (PIs and N[t]RTIs) with primary NNRTI resistance. TMC125 will be administered in combination with an investigator-selected background of additional ARVs from the list of allowed medications.
The purpose of this randomized phase II trial is to determine the clinical feasibility - in terms of patients without dose limiting toxicities or premature treatment withdrawal or death - of the combination of Cisplatin and Pemetrexed and of the combination of Cisplatin and Vinorelbine. The combination of Cisplatin / Pemetrexed is assumed to be distinctly less toxic than Vinorelbine / Cisplatin.
The primary objective is to compare the efficacy of Symbicort Single inhaler Therapy with treatment according to conventional best practice in adolescent and adult patients with persistent asthma.
The purpose of the study is to determine the long term safety of Enbrel in adults with active rheumatoid arthritis in Luxemburg. This is a post-marketing surveillance study in rheumatology practice patients. All patients initiated with Enbrel will be observed from the start of the study in Feb 2003 for a period of at least 5 years.
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as temozolomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. It is not yet known whether radiation therapy is more effective than temozolomide in treating gliomas. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying radiation therapy to see how well it works compared to temozolomide in treating patients with gliomas.
The Trial to Reduce IDDM in the Genetically at Risk (TRIGR) is an international effort to conduct a primary prevention nutrition trial for type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes. The TRIGR study was targeted at newborns who are at genetic risk for type 1 diabetes because their mother, father and/or full sibling has type 1 diabetes. All families were encouraged to breast feed their infants for as long as possible. Prior to birth, the child was randomly assigned to receive one of two infant formulas, should formula be required prior to 8 months of age. The study determined whether weaning to a possibly protective infant formula decreases these children's chances of developing diabetes - as it does in the animal models for diabetes.
This trial is conducted in Europe. The aim of this research study is to compare the efficacy (reduction in HbA1c and in blood glucose levels) of insulin detemir once daily injection compared to insulin detemir twice daily injection administered as basal insulin for the treatment of type 1 diabetes and to verify the safety of use (number and severity of episodes of hypoglycemia, body weight and side effects).
