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.
Acute heart failure is one of the main causes of acute respiratory distres in prehospital emergency setting. The early and correct diagnosis is important because the misdiagnosis can result in deleterious consequeance to patients. Rapid bedside tests (like NT-proBNP) and point-of-care lung ultrasound could be useful methods in field. This study confirmed that the combination of ultrasound sign in combination with rapid NT-proBNP test has a hibh diagnostic accuracy in differentiating between cardiac and pulmonray causes of acute dyspnea in the field and the tretament possibilities in clinical obscure cases are mainly improved.
This trial is conducted in Europe, and North and South America. The aim of this trial is to investigate if a dietary intervention has an effect on weight when initiating insulin treatment in subjects with type 2 diabetes currently treated with oral antidiabetic drugs (OADs).
AMG 479 is an investigational fully human monoclonal antibody that targets type 1 insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGF-1R). Signaling through IGF-1R plays an important role in the regulation of cell growth and survival. Gemcitabine is administered on days 1, 8 and 15 of a 28 day cycle, AMG 479 or placebo is administered on days 1 and 15 of the 28 day cycle, both are administered intravenously. The primary purpose of the study is to determine if AMG 479 and gemcitabine improves overall survival as compared to placebo and gemcitabine.
Transcutaneous electrical muscle stimulation (TCEMS) is well established intervention for rehabilitation of clinically stable patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The investigators have conceived this study to test whether TCEMS is feasible and tolerated by patients experiencing severe physical and psychical challenge of acutely exacerbated COPD.
This study aims to assess the safety, tolerability and Pharmacokinetics/ Pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) profile of three doses of MOD-4023 on a weekly regime and one dose on an every-other-week regime administered for a period of 4 weeks in Growth Hormone Deficient Adult (GHDA) patients who previously were on a stable r-hGH treatment. An additional extension period of 16 weeks once-weekly administration of MOD-4023 aims to confirm the dose selection for future trials.
This is a single-centre randomized controlled clinical trial which will enroll COPD patients in Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) stage II-IV, hospitalized due to acute exacerbation. Patients will be randomised in a 1:1 fashion to intervention group, which will have care organized by discharge coordinator, and control group which will receive care as usual. The primary endpoint of this study is time to hospitalization due to COPD worsening. Data will be collected at baseline, at the time of hospital discharge, and at following time-points after the hospital discharge: 48 hours, 7-10 days, 30 days, 90 days, and 180 days.
CORAMI trial is a prospective, international, multicenter randomized study which will be performed in experienced invasive facility centres with 24/7 PCI (percutaneous coronary intervention) duty and patient enrollment will continue for 18 months (October 2010 - March 2012).The aim of the study is to compare strategy of complete vs target lesion-only primary PCI in IRA (infarct related artery) in STEMI (ST elevation myocardial infarction) patients.
This is a Phase 1b/2 study. In Phase 1b, subjects will know the treatment they are receiving. Subjects will receive Erlotinib + U3-1287. The Phase 1b portion will determine if adding U3-1287 to Erlotinib will be safe in subjects with advanced non-small cell lung cancer who fail prior treatment. In the Phase 2 portion, subjects will be blinded to the treatments they are receiving. Subjects will receive either Erlotinib alone or Erlotinib + U3-1287. The Phase 2 portion will determine if adding U3-1287 to Erlotinib will be safe and improve survival in subjects with advanced non-small cell lung cancer who failed the first treatment.
RATIONALE: Pazopanib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. It is not yet known whether pazopanib hydrochloride is more effective than a placebo in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer that has not progressed after first-line chemotherapy. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II/III trial is studying how well giving pazopanib hydrochloride works and compares it with giving a placebo in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer who have received first-line chemotherapy.
The purpose of this study is to determine if treatment with paclitaxel plus AMG 386 is superior to paclitaxel plus placebo in women with recurrent partially platinum sensitive or resistant epithelial ovarian cancer, primary peritoneal cancer or fallopian tube cancer. AMG 386 is a man-made medication that is designed to stop the development of blood vessels in cancer tissues. Cancer tissues rely on the development of new blood vessels, a process called angiogenesis, to obtain a supply of oxygen and nutrients to grow.
