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.
Rehabilitation robotics is increasingly used because it enables the patients to practice a wide array of movements. Dynamic balance training is essential for gait rehabilitation and robotised devices enhance repeatability, objectivity and precision of such training combined with monitoring and recording of kinematic and kinetic data. The aim of the study is to explore the effect of robot-assisted gait training on dynamic balance, symmetry and take-off in patients after stroke. The investigators will conduct a randomised intervention study where one group will receive visual feedback on gait status and the other group will receive kinetically-assisted training using a robotised device in addition to the visual feedback.
This is a non-interventional, multi-country, multi-centre, multiple cohort prospective study, with retrospective collection of prior medical/treatment history data from medical records, designed to assess the real-world outcomes and safety of atezolizumab for indications in the existing label in the real world setting of routine clinical practice.
Unusual site venous thromboembolism (VTE) refers to thrombosis occurring in venous districts outside the veins of the lower extremities and the pulmonary arteries, and includes splanchnic vein thrombosis (SVT), cerebral vein thrombosis (CVT), retinal vein thrombosis, ovarian vein thrombosis, and renal vein thrombosis. The use of the novel direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC), thrombin or factor Xa-inhibitors (such as dabigatran, apixaban, edoxaban, rivaroxaban), in patients with unusual VTE in clinical practice is increasing. Through an international multicentre prospective registry, the investigators aim to evaluate the rationale for the use of the DOAC for the treatment of unusual site VTE and to assess the safety and effectiveness of this approach in real life clinical practice.
Phase IIb study to evaluate the efficacy and the safety of 3 dose-levels of ABX464, administered daily in patients with moderate to severe Ulcerative Colitis.
This international observational study aims at examining the patterns of health-related quality of life differences between long-term acute myeloid leukemia patients and their healthy peers from the general population.
The study compares 2 medicines for people with type 2 diabetes: insulin 287 (a new medicine) and insulin glargine (a medicine doctors can already prescribe). The study doctors will test insulin 287 to see how well it works compared to insulin glargine. The study will also test if insulin 287 is safe. The study participants will either get insulin 287 or insulin glargine (100 units/mL) - which treatment the participants get is decided by chance. The participants will need to inject their selves every day about the same time. Once a week the participant will need to take 1 extra injection on the same day of the week. The participants will have 16 clinic visits and 14 phone calls with the study doctor. During the study, the doctors will ask you to: 1) measure your blood sugar every day with a blood glucose meter using a finger prick, 2) write down different information in a paper diary daily and return this to your doctor, 3) wear a medical device to measure your blood sugar all the time for 2 weeks 5 times during the study.
Aortic valve stenosis is the most common valvular heart disease in the developed world, affecting 3,9% of population over 70 years of age. If untreated it carries a poor prognosis, leading to heart failure and death in 2 years after first symptom presentation. Treatment of choice for severe aortic stenosis is surgical aortic valve replacement. A new treatment option for severe aortic stenosis emerged in the last decade - Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR). This minimally invasive method was formerly reserved for high risk patients deemed unfit for surgical aortic valve replacement. Increasing use throughout the developed world and recent studies have established TAVR as a safe and viable treatment option also for intermediate-risk patients. TAVR not only enables a less aggressive surgical approach, but also a less invasive type of anaesthesia. Anaesthesiologists are trying to modify the type of anaesthesia in the way of minimally invasive approach, aiming to improve the overall outcome. TAVR can be performed under general anaesthesia or procedural sedation (PS). From the start, TAVR was performed solely under general anaesthesia. Over time the procedure became routine and the anaesthesiologists started to commonly decide for PS. Many US and European retrospective studies have established PS to be a safe and compelling method of anaesthetic care for TAVR procedures with a favorable perioperative course, less complications, shorter intensive care unit and in-hospital stay and lower early mortality, when performed by an experienced anaesthesia team. There are many anaesthesia agents currently accepted for PS in everyday anaesthesia practice. Presently, reliable data from studies comparing different agents for PS for TAVR procedures is scarce. Most of it comes from retrospective nonrandomized trials. Propofol is a popular anaesthetic agent for PS. According to current studies, it is a safe anaesthetic agent with favorable pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles with quite low incidence of side effects. In recent years, dexmedetomidine has been commonly used for PS having analgesic properties inclusive of its anaesthetic properties. In addition, dexmedetomidine is associated with a lesser degree of respiratory depression as to other anaesthetic agents. Patient comfort is also believed to be improved with dexmedetomidine. Studies comparing outcomes of PS with propofol versus dexmedetomidine for different non-cardiac and interventional procedures showed benefits of dexmedetomidine, owing to its analgesic properties and preferable respiratory parameters. The aim of this study is to compare the outcome of patients undergoing TAVR under PS with dexmedetomidine against those undergoing TAVR under PS with propofol. With the results the investigators aim to aid in defining the optimal anaesthetic agent for PS for TAVR and possibly other interventional cardiology procedures.
In this study researchers want to gain more information on treatment patterns of patients treated with Xarelto in combination with acetylsalicylic acid (ASA). Both drugs reduce the risk of blood clots via different pathways. The study will enroll adult patients suffering from coronary artery disease (narrowing or blockage of vessels that supply the heart with blood) or peripheral artery disease (narrowing or blockage of vessels that supply the legs or head with blood). The study will focus on information on when and why physicians are starting to treat patients with Xarelto in addition to ASA, treatment duration, reasons to discontinue treatment and previous therapies. The study will also look into treatment outcomes for patients being treated with a combination of Xarelto and ASA by their physicians.
PRECIOUS Study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of therapy with fixed-dose combination (FDC) of perindopril/amlodipine (Amlessa®) and FDC of perindopril/indapamide/amlodipine (Co-Amlessa®) on blood pressure reduction in both previously untreated patients and patients with previous antihypertensive therapy. Adult patients with AH who are treatment-naïve with systolic blood pressure (SBP) from 150 mmHg or higher AND/OR diastolic blood pressure (DBP) from 95 mmHg or higher (SBP ≥ 150 mm AND/OR DBP ≥ 90 mmHg for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus ) and uncontrolled patients on mono, dual or triple antihypertensive therapy with systolic blood pressure (SBP) from 140 mmHg or higher AND/OR diastolic blood pressure (DBP) from 90 mmHg or higher (SBP ≥ 140 AND/OR DBP ≥ 85 mmHg for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus) will be invited to participate in this study. During 16-week trial, seven study visits are planned. At first study visit physical examination, medical history, BP measurement, electrocardiogram (ECG), laboratory analysis and of Ambulatory Blood Pressure Measurement (ABPM) will be performed. Based on their previous antihypertensive therapy, patients will receive to treatment with either Amlessa® or Co-Amlessa® for the duration of 16 weeks and blood pressure measurements, laboratory investigations and patient interviews will be performed at study follow-up visits to assess the treatment efficacy (proportion of patients reaching normal office blood pressure after 16 weeks of treatment) and safety.
The aim of this study is to test the suitability of different types of desk surfaces. The investigators will test 10 different surfaces (oak-ruff, oak-varnished, oak-oiled, spruce-ruff, spruce-varnished, spruce-oiled, particleboard laminate, particleboard veneer, corian and glass). Firstly, the investigators will perform tests to assess physical characteristics of the materials (thermal conductivity, hardness, roughness, skid measures). Secondly, the investigators will measure the participants' forearm skin temperature after 20-minutes of using each desk surface. During those 20 minutes the participants will solve an attention test.
