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.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if omalizumab co-treatment may allow reintroduction of honey bee venom immunotherapy in patients with immunotherapy treatment failure due to systemic reactions.
Remifentanil may be an ideal drug for labor analgesia due to its pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic profile. As compared to epidural analgesia, it demonstrated satisfactory for pain relief at the beginning of labour with a gradual elevation of pain scores as labour progresses. However, fast onset and limited time efficacy may render it useful in multiparous with a faster labor progression, thus even making it an alternative to single-shot spinal analgesia.
One-lung ventilation (OLV) with resting of the contralateral lung may be required to allow or facilitate thoracic surgery. However, OLV can result in severe hypoxemia, requiring a mechanical ventilation approach that is able to maintain adequate gas exchange, while protecting the lungs against postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs). During OLV, the use of lower tidal volumes is helpful to avoid over-distension, but can result in increased atelectasis and repetitive collapse-and-reopening of lung units, particularly at low levels of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP). Anesthesiologists inconsistently use PEEP and recruitment maneuvers (RM) in the hope that this may improve oxygenation and protect against PPC. Up to now, it is not known whether high levels of PEEP combined with RM are superior to lower PEEP without RM for protection against PPCs during OLV. Hypothesis: An intra-operative ventilation strategy using higher levels of PEEP and recruitment maneuvers, as compared to ventilation with lower levels of PEEP without recruitment maneuvers, prevents postoperative pulmonary complications in patients undergoing thoracic surgery under standardized one-lung ventilation.
The purpose of this study is to collect additional safety and efficacy data for the combination of ribociclib + letrozole in men and pre/postmenopausal women with HR+HER2- advanced breast cancer and no prior hormonal treatment for advanced disease..
Approximately 500 patients will be included in this patient registry. Data collection includes demographics, clinical data of underlying disease and use of bisphosphonates, denosumab and antiangiogenic drugs , degree and extension of osteonecrosis, osteonecrosis-specific treatment, outcomes and complications within 1 year after treatment.
The primary objective of the study is to investigate safety and efficacy of transendocardial CD34+ cell therapy in patients with HFpEF by evaluating changes in myocardial structure and function, patient exercise capacity and clinical outcome. The safety end-points include serious adverse events (SAEs), defined as any serious event that may result in persistent or significant disability or incapacity and included death, heart transplantation, sustained ventricular arrhythmia (ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation), and heart failure exacerbation requiring hospitalization.
Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) prevail in older age and are characterized by ineffective erythropoiesis and peripheral cytopenias. Supportive therapy is the main therapeutic option for most patients. Quality of Life (QoL) is mainly deteriorated by anemia and by the limitations associated with thrombocytopenia, neutropenia and transfusion dependence. The only available treatment for severe thrombocytopenia, in the presence of bleeding, is platelet transfusion. Eltrombopag is an orally bioavailable agonist of the thrombopoietin receptor. In adult patients with chronic immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), Eltrombopag rapidly increases platelet counts and significantly reduces bleeding episodes during treatment. Eltrombopag is well tolerated. In 2007, Eltrombopag has received the Orphan Drug Designation for the treatment of ITP (EMEA/OD/031/07), and in 2008 the Food and Drug Association approved Eltrombopag for the treatment of ITP refractory or resistant. It has been shown that in patients affected by MDS and by acute myeloid leukemia, Eltrombopag neither increases the proliferation, nor the clonogenic growth capacity of bone marrow blasts. Furthermore, Eltrombopag induces an increase in the megakaryocytic differentiation and in the formation of normal megakaryocytic colonies. These results provide the rationale for pursuing further research on Eltrombopag for the treatment of thrombocytopenia in case of MDS. The study is open to adult patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) with thrombocytopenia and low- or intermediate-1 IPSS risk (Index Prognostic Score System). Severe thrombocytopenia associated with MDS may lead to death from hemorrhage, even in low prognostic risk patients. The benefit of platelet transfusion is short-termed. Patients become refractory in the long term. The availability of a treatment that induces the increase of platelet count is extremely important, either in terms of quality of life, and in overall survival.
Weight reduction is the most important treatment target when polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is linked to obesity. Liraglutide (LIRA) in dose of 3 mg was recently approved as an anti-obesity drug. Metformin could enhance weight lowering potential of liraglutide. We investigates short term interventions with low dose liraglutide in combination with metformin and high dose liraglutide alone influence on significant weight reduction in obese women with PCOS.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether there is potential benefits of prophylactic antibiotic treatment in comatose survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) treated in intensive care unit with therapeutic hypothermia.
Prospective data will be collected in approximately 250 patients sustaining BCFx with or without any additional fracture(s) of the symphysis. Patients will be followed according to the standard (routine) at approximately 6 weeks and 3 months after the treatment. Data collection will include fracture details (i.e. classification, mechanism of injury), treatment details, functional and patient-reported outcomes, and anticipated or procedure-related adverse events (i.e. complications).
