There are about 9576 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.
Osteoporosis is a systemic condition characterized by low bone mass and altered bone tissue microarchitecture, with the resulting greater bone fragility leading to fractures. Osteoporosis develops as a result of genetic and environmental factors, with the patient's lifestyle playing an important role. Recent years saw an emergence of reports on the significance of the intestinal microbiota in the development of osteoporosis, thus new ways of modifying the composition and activity of microbiota have been sought, and the potential role of probiotics has been considered. Probiotics are defined as live microorganisms, which-when administered at appropriate doses-are beneficial to the host's health. Probiotics both modify the gut microbiota composition and directly affect the human body. Recently published clinical studies demonstrated that probiotics may facilitate osteoporosis treatment and prevention. The current randomized double-blind placebo-controlled study will assess the effect of a dietary intervention via oral supplementation of Lactobacillus plantarum and Lactobacillus paracasei in a population of Polish postmenopausal women on their bone mineral density assessed via bone densitometry-derived T-scores of the lumbar segment of the spine (L1-L4). Study subjects will take the provided probiotic formulation/placebo orally once daily for 12 months.
This Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, multicenter, induction and maintenance study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of RVT-3101 in adult participants with moderate to severe active Crohn's disease.
The aim of the study is to evaluate simultaneously the immunological and clinical efficacy and tolerability of an influenza vaccine, inactivated, quadrivalent, with cleaved virus, in patients at risk for severe and complicated influenza routinely vaccinated against influenza in family medicine clinics or specialty clinics (pediatric, internal medicine, cardiology, gynecological diabetes, pregnant women, transplant).
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare del Nido and Bretschneider-HTK (HTK) cardioplegia solutions in patients undergoing elective aortic valve replacement. The main question it aims to answer is: • Does the del Nido cardioplegia provide better cardioprotection and clinical outcomes than HTK cardioplegia? Participants will receive one of the investigated cardioplegia solutions according to the randomization. Researchers will compare both groups in terms of cardioprotection (described as levels of CK-MB and hsTnI), in-hospital clinical outcomes, biochemical changes in coronary sinus blood and one-year follow-up.
Exposure of the human body to cold water triggers numerous beneficial physiological changes. The study aimed to assess the impact of regular winter swimming on blood morphological, rheological, and biochemical indicators and activity of antioxidant enzymes in males. The study includes winter swimmers and a control group. Blood samples were taken twice - before the start (November) of the winter swimming season and after its end (March). The average duration of ice water baths was 3-5 minutes, with a minimum frequency of once a week. The water temperature during the swimming did not exceed 10°C, approaching 0°C during the winter period.
The main goal of this study is to assess the impact of supervised intense physical activity (IPA) on outcomes of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in young women with breast cancer (YWBC). In this project standard neoadjuvant chemotherapy will be used concordant with summary of product characteristics (SPC). However during treatment (including days of chemotherapy application) an additional modifier of therapy will be carried out in the form of intense physical activity. This strategy is not recognized in SPC. This project aims to improve the results of breast cancer treatment in young women. According to available data, nowadays this subset of breast cancer patients has worse therapy results in comparison to older women. This is partially because of the different tumor characteristics; young women are more likely to present with human epithelial growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) receptor overexpression or with triple negative breast cancer. In the treatment of YWBC, preoperative chemotherapy is most often the first step. This enables the opportunity to assess the effectiveness of additional interventions in a mode it was never tested before. It is believed that physical activity improves the results of breast cancer treatment, however there are only few reports describing its benefit and role in terms of preoperative chemotherapy. In the current project, the investigators planned to introduce supervised increased physical activity concurrently with neoadjuvant treatment in YWBC at early stage of disease. The main goal of the study is to assess the effect of physical activity on preoperative chemotherapy outcomes. The change of tumor size after neoadjuvant chemotherapy, as well as the impact on Quality of Life (QoL) and Patients' Reported Outcome (PRO) in described above treatment modality. Secondary endpoints are the following: the pathologic Complete Response (pCR), disease free survival after 3 years (3-yr DFS), overall survival (OS), cardiotoxicity of treatment, the effect of physical activity on tumor microenvironment and Ki67 as well as the impact of increased physical activity on further patients' lifestyle changes.
The purpose of this study is to show that high-dose quadrivalent seasonal influenza vaccine (HD QIV) given together with 9-valent extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli vaccine (ExPEC9V) does not induce lower antibody response against each of the 4 influenza vaccine strains, as compared to HD QIV given alone and further show that ExPEC9V given together with HD QIV does not induce lower antibody response against each of the vaccine O-serotype antigens, as compared to ExPEC9V given alone.
HRO350 contains an oil-based extract from herring roe (Clupea harengus) in soft capsules and contains phospholipids (complex lipids) which are naturally rich in marine polyunsaturated fatty acids. All the lipids in HRO350 are natural components of the human diet. It is not fully known how HRO350 exerts its effects, however there are indications that it might have a modulatory effect on the inflammatory processes involved in causing psoriasis. The study is a randomised, double-blind, placebo controlled, dose finding, multi-centre, phase 2B study. Approximately 519 patients will be participating in the UK, Norway, Germany, Finland and Poland. Patients will receive either 1050mg or 2100mg HRO0350 daily, or placebo for up to 52 weeks and will be followed up for a further 8 weeks.
The purpose of the study is to learn about the effects of a monovalent (single component) pneumococcal conjugate candidate (mPnC candidate) when given to toddlers between 11 and 15 months of age. All participants in this study will receive 2 doses of either mPnC candidate or mPnC control at the clinic approximately 8 weeks apart. All participants will also receive their third (toddler) dose of PCV10 at Visit 1.
This Phase 3 study is a randomized, observer-blind study of aQIV (an MF59-adjuvanted quadrivalent influenza vaccine) compared with a non-adjuvanted quadrivalent influenza vaccine (QIV) in adults ≥65 years of age. The aim of the study is to evaluate aQIV compared with QIV in the prevention of reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR)-confirmed influenza A and/or B in subjects ≥65 years of age.
