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 epidemiology of H. pylori infection among children in Slovenia has not been investigated. Therefore, we are conducting a study to examine the epidemiology of H. pylori and associated risk factors among children in Slovenia.
FREEDOM is a multicentre, open-label, single-arm, phase 3b study in Europe that aims to enrol approximately 90 previously treated severe haemophilia A patients aged ≥12 years, currently on prophylaxis. After a run-in period of 30-45 days, patients will receive efanesoctocog alfa prophylaxis, 50 IU/kg once-weekly for 24 months (additional preventive dose not permitted). An activity tracker and an electronic patient diary will be used to collect data on physical activity, bleeds, factor dosing, pain, and injuries from screening throughout the study. The primary objective is to describe changes in physical activities over 24 months on efanesoctocog alfa prophylaxis, with a primary endpoint of change from baseline in International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) at month 24. Secondary objectives include relationship between physical activity and other variables (bleeds, joint status, pain, injuries, and quality of life); changes in joint status as assessed by HEAD-US, HJHS and MRI; occurrence of bleeds, injuries, pain. Safety and tolerability of efanesoctocog alfa will also be evaluated.
The goal of this observational study is to elucidate the role of serum amyloid A (SAA) in the diagnosis and follow-up of sarcoidosis, including its prognostic value. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Whether, at the time of diagnosis, SAA is in correlation with other serum markers of granulomatous inflammation, interstitial disease and pulmonary fibrosis, lung function and radiologic characteristics of intrathoracic sarcoidosis, - Whether increased serum concentrations of SAA at the time of diagnosis act as a prognostic marker of progressive granulomatous inflammation and pulmonary interstitial disease. Patients will undergo standard diagnostic procedures for intrathoracic sarcoidosis, according to WASOG (World association of sarcoidosis and other granulomatous disorders) criteria. Two additional vials of blood will be taken at diagnosis and one vial at follow-up for serum processing and biomarker analysis. Healthy blood donors will represent our group of healthy controls.
This study evaluates navtemadlin as maintenance treatment for patients with advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer (EC) who have achieved complete response or partial response on chemotherapy. The study will be conducted in 2 parts. Part 1 will evaluate safety and efficacy of two different doses of navtemadlin alongside an observational control arm to determine the Phase 3 navtemadlin dose. Part 2 will evaluate the efficacy and safety of navtemadlin Phase 3 dose compared to placebo.
The aim of the study is to investigate whether a serious smartphone game (called MOBI-CPR game) used in the home environment has an impact on the retention of adult basic life support knowledge and skills.
In the proposed study, three objectives will be pursued: 1. To develop a method to identify more effectively the acute and long-term risk of adolescents with the most threatening self-harm behaviours. 2. To identify the factors that influence the risk of self-harm behaviours and the success of treatment/treatment of these behaviours in the most at-risk adolescents (changes in these factors). 3. Develop guidelines for more effective treatment of the most at-risk adolescents. For this purpose, a sample of approximately 200 young people who will be hospitalised for suicide risk (the most at risk in Slovenia) and an approximately equal number of healthy adolescents will be included. At inclusion, the presence of several factors will be assessed by reviewing demographic data, clinical diagnosis, self-assessment questionnaires and clinical psychological tests (CSSRS, B-NSSI-AT, ISAS, LPFS-BF2.0, BPFSC-11, TSCC, PAI, ECR-RS, DASA-YV, ASHRS), social assessment, and blood sampling for genetic analyses (DNA isolation, sequencing, nucleotide sequence recognition, quantification and evaluation of short tandem repeats, identification of methylation sites). Longitudinal tracking of autoaggressive events and heteroaggressive events during hospitalisation will be performed and recorded on an ongoing basis. The risk and protective factors of the adolescents most at risk will be compared with a control group of adolescents. The same factors will be reassessed in the most at-risk adolescents after 6 and 18 months of treatment as usual. The data will be collected in a data entry and storage system that will ensure the privacy of the data entered in accordance with the GDPR. This will allow the investigators to identify young people at particular risk of severe self-harm behaviour more reliably, to target them for more intensive and effective treatment, and thus to improve their safety, quality of life and prognosis in the short and long term.
Several high-altitude destinations recommend their visitors to avoid caffeine, theoretically due to the associated diuresis which could contribute to acute mountain sickness. There is however no direct evidence for this association. In fact, caffeine ingestion is known to improve exercise performance at sea level, and may therefore help mountaineers during expeditions. Sport science research is largely conducted in male participants, and the findings from these studies are assumed to apply to the female population. Given the known sex differences in body composition, hormones, and other physiological factors, this may not be appropriate. It is therefore important to conduct research in women, to allow for female-specific recommendations.
This study aims to assess the safety and efficacy of a single probiotic strain on symptom severity in adults with diarrhea-predominant Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS-D).
Elastic tapes, named "kinesiotapes" have a limited, but proven influence on pain reduction, improvement in muscular strength and joint function. It can be hypothetised that by using kinesiotape techniques on damaged chest wall (due to mostly rib fracture) we can improve not only analgesia, but also improve lung function tests and speed recovery.
An experimental study, which will aim to compare changes of trunk mechanical properties and neuromuscular control following spinal flexion exposure in crane operators and control subjects.
