There are about 1039 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Slovenia. 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.
General objectives of the project Defining healthy ageing factors; Setting up content-related bases of the international excellence centre (SLO-ITA) in the field of health of elderly citizens; Raising awareness on the significance of healthy ageing, social inclusion and mobility of less privileged populations (the elderly); Reducing the costs of health care; Connecting the existing health care, social and private entities and improving their mutual coordination.
The aim of our study is to compare plasma metanephrines in patients with cyanotic and acyanotic congenital heart disease and possible association with chronic hypoxic stress.
The purpose of this Phase 3 study is to determine whether iptacopan (LNP023) is efficacious and safe for the treatment of aHUS in adult patients who are treatment naive to complement inhibitor therapy.
Inflammatory bowel disease consists of either ulcerative colitis (UC) or Crohn's disease (CD). The main aim of this study is to describe real-world treatment patterns in adults with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease when treated with vedolizumab. This will include the administration choices which can either be an infusion through a vein (intravenous or IV), or an injection just under the skin (subcutaneous injection, or SC). Treatment will be determined by the study doctor according to routine clinical practice.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of guselkumab treatment in participants with active psoriatic arthritis (PsA) by assessing the reduction in signs and symptoms of PsA.
Patients admitted for the otosclerosis operation are included in the study. The Narrow Band Imaging (NBI) of their taste buds is performed before the operation. The sensory function of the anterior 2/3 of the tongue is tested with the two point discrimination discs, the taste is tested with taste strips and the SF-36 questionnaire is applied. During the operation in local anesthesia the threshold for the tongue sensation (by the stimulation of the chorda tympani nerve) of the first 2/3 of the tongue at the beginning of the operation (when we first encounter the chorda tympani nerve) and at the end of the operation is measured.One month and six months after the operation the tests are being repeated (NBI, two-point discrimination and SF-36 questionnaire). The study has the National Ethical Committee approval.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of caffeine treatment, given either orally or intravenously, on heart rate variability in newborns. In addition, the investigators sought for a potential association between caffeine treatment and vital functions.
The study evaluates the effects of Helichrysum italicum and Helichrysum Arenarium on different components of the metabolic syndrome. The components of metabolic syndrome will be measured at baseline and four weeks after daily consumptions of either Helichrysum italicum or either Helichrysum Arenarium, and after two weeks of washout. In addition, stool samples will be also taken at baseline and after four weeks of daily consumtion of either Helichrysum italicum or either Helichrysum Arenarium.
Background: Asthma is a heterogeneous respiratory disease and the most common chronic disease in children. A small subset of children has continuous poor asthma control despite appropriate adherence to asthma medication. There is a clinical need to identify these children as early as possible to optimize treatment and/or to find therapeutic alternatives. Therefore, the "Systems Pharmacology approach to uncontrolled Pediatric Asthma" (SysPharmPediA) study was set up. Objective: To establish a cohort of pediatric moderate-to-severe uncontrolled and controlled patients with asthma in order to investigate pathophysiological mechanisms underlying uncontrolled moderate-to-severe asthma in children on maintenance treatment, using a multi-omics systems medicine approach. Methods: In this multicenter observational case-control study, moderate-to-severe asthmatic children (n=145, age 6-17 years), were included in specialized hospitals in four European countries (Netherlands, Germany, Spain and Slovenia). Recruited subjects were selected based on good asthma control (controlled asthmatics, n=54) or poor asthma control / recurrent exacerbations (uncontrolled asthmatics, n=91). Comprehensive details concerning demographics, current and past patient/family history and clinical characteristics were collected. In addition, systems-wide omics layers, including epi(genomics), transcriptomics, microbiome, proteomics and metabolomics will be evaluated from multiple collected, relatively non-invasive, samples of from the recruited individuals, such as: blood, feces, saliva, nasal swabs and exhaled breath. Follow-up visits were performed 6 and 12 months after inclusion.
In this study, Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) prevalence will be determined once in the urine of 200 trans people. In addition, subjects will be asked to complete a questionnaire about their sexual orientation, which is adapted from the largest published study.
