There are about 9702 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Poland. 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.
Background: Effectiveness of maintenance therapy for COPD with Dry Powder Inhalers (DPIs) requires an optimal Peak Inspiratory Flow Rate (PIFR), a proper inhalation technique and adequate medication adherence from patients. Recent studies have suggested that patients with reduced peak inspiratory flow may have worse COPD-related symptom burden and increased risk of COPD-related hospitalizations. However, in primary care, little is known about how many COPD patients have suboptimal PIFR. Furthermore, there is a paucity of knowledge concerning the associations of PIFR, inhalation technique and medication adherence with the effectiveness of maintenance therapy. Objective: To examine associations of PIFR, inhalation technique, and medication adherence with health status and disease, exacerbations, and healthcare resource utilization in patients with COPD receiving maintenance treatment with dry powder inhalers. Study design: Cross-sectional observational study in five European countries*. Study population: COPD patients aged 40 years or older who have received COPD maintenance therapy through DPIs in the past 3 months or longer. Main study parameters: Health status as measured with the Clinical COPD Questionnaire (CCQ), COPD Assessment Test (CAT), number of exacerbations, an assessment of PIFR, inhalation technique errors, medication adherence, healthcare resource utilization (HCRU), medication use and demographic and clinical covariates. Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness: No significant burden from participating is expected. Risk of participating is deemed negligible. In addition, patients may benefit from participating. Specifically, patients who manifest inhalation errors, will receive a tailored inhalation instruction to remediate their inhalation errors. The impact of this instruction will not be evaluated in any way, therefore it should not be seen as an intervention. * If the preplanned number of patients cannot be included also because of national outbreaks of SARS-COV-2 resulting in travel restrictions, participation will be sought from researchers from three other European countries
The aim of the study was to assess the diet and the effect of probiotic therapy on reducing the incidence of gastrointestinal disorders and selected parameters determining the inflammation of the body, body composition, cardiopulmonary efficiency and selected serum biochemical parameters. 70 competitors took part in the study. The research was carried out at the Department of Dietetics and Clinical Nutrition (Medical University of Bialystok), Fitness Club Maniac Gym in Bialystok, as well as at the Hematological Diagnostics Department and the Biochemical Diagnostics Department of the University Teaching Hospital in Bialystok. The study was randomized using a double-blind trial. 35 persons selected in the draw were G1 group and the remaining G2 group (n=35). The intervention factor was the SANPROBI BARRIER multi-strain probiotic or placebo. Competitors used probiotic/ placebo for three months at a dose of 2x2 capsules daily (2.5 x 10 9 CFU / g (1 capsule)). The consent of the Bioethics Committee of the Medical University, no. RI-002/81/2017, was obtained for the study. The study consisted of two stages (W1 and W2), and each stage was associated with three visits by the participants. The first of these (W1) included qualification for the study, completing the questionnaire and 3-day nutrition diaries. At the second visit, body composition analysis and cardiopulmonary efficiency test on a medical treadmill were performed. For morphological tests (blood count with smear, lipid profile, fasting glucose, C-reactive protein and ionogram) at the third visit for each competitor was collected blood from the vein in the amount of 10 ml. The final stage (W2) included similar three visits, where the first visit was made after 3 months of taking product A or B. 66 competitors took part in it.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the duration of response following withdrawal of ruxolitinib cream (Cohort A vehicle group), safety and maintenance of response with continued use of ruxolitinib cream in participants who have completed either Study NCT04052425 or NCT04057573 (parent studies) in which the participants will have been using ruxolitinib cream BID for the previous 28 to 52 weeks depending on their initial randomization in the parent study.
GTI-4419-202 is a Phase 2 open-label study of the effects of GC4419 (IV) when administered in combination with IMRT and cisplatin to up to subjects with head and neck cancer, who are at high risk for Severe Oral Mucositis (SOM)
Valvular heart diseases are significant problem in Polish population. Coexistence of coronary artery disease in patients with VHD increases the risk of death and affects further therapeutic strategy. The aim of the study is analysis the epidemiology and the long-term prognosis among patients with VHD.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of arginine/lysine solution administration on serum potassium levels. A systematic assessment of serum potassium levels will be performed during infusion and up to 24 hours post start of infusion compared to baseline.
A study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of maralixibat in infants with Biliary Atresia (BA) after Hepatoportoenterostomy (HPE, also known as the Kasai procedure).
This study compares and evaluates differences in movement analysis, patient-reported outcome between patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty with use of either Zimmer Biomet NexGen with posterior stabilization and Bioimplanti K-Mod cruciate-retaining with dynamic congruence
In this study researchers want to learn about the safety of drug Osocimab at lower-dose and higher-doses in adult participants with kidney disease undergoing regular dialysis (a procedure that uses a machine to get rid of toxins and extra fluids in the blood). Patients with kidney disease undergoing regular dialysis are at high risk for heart and blood vessels diseases. Osocimab is a human monoclonal antibody under development for the prevention of events caused by blood clots like heart attack, stroke and death due to heart or blood vessels diseases. It works by binding to and blocking the activated form of clotting factor XI which increases the formation and stability of clots. Researchers also want to find out how drug Osocimab works in human body and how the body absorbs, distributes and excretes the drug. Participants in this study will receive monthly injection of either Osocimab at a lower-dose or higher-dose or placebo (a placebo looks like a treatment but does not have any medicine in it). Both Osocimab and placebo will be injected into the tissue under the skin of the belly. Observation for each participant will last up to 23 months. Blood samples will be collected from the participants to monitor the safety and measure the blood level of the study drug.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of IONIS-GHR-LRx subcutaneous (SC) injection as monotherapy in patients with acromegaly.
