There are about 6915 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Austria. 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.
Micafungin is a cyclic lipopeptide antifungal agent of the echinocandin class. Members of this class of antifungal agents are known to inhibit the synthesis of glucan polymers in fungal cell walls. The spectrum of activity of micafungin includes Candida (all species, including strains resistant to fluconazole), Aspergillus, and Pneumocystis. In intensive care patients continuous venovenous haemodiafiltration (CVVHDF) is a well-established extracorporal renal replacement therapy with a high clearance rate. Pharmacokinetic studies of antifungal agents in critically ill patients treated with CVVHDF are rare. Elimination of any given drug by renal replacement therapy is determined by several major factors which are membrane specific, due to physico-chemical properties of the drug and characteristics of the renal replacement technique used. Ten intensive-care patients with acute renal failure and suspected or proven candida infection are included into the study. 100 mg Micafungin will be infused over a period of sixty minutes via a central venous catheter, different from the venous catheter used for CVVHDF. Blood samples will be drawn on days 1 and 2 from the arterial and venous line of the extracorporeal circuit at 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 24h after starting the infusion. Plasma and ultrafiltration samples, collected from the outlet of the ultrafiltrate compartment of the hemofilter, will be taken at corresponding times. The following pharmacokinetic parameters will be determined: area under the curve (AUC), half-live (t1/2), maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) and elimination fraction.
The objective of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of the COVERA™ Vascular Covered Stent for the treatment of stenotic lesions in the upper extremity venous outflow of the Arteriovenous (AV) access circuit.
The purpose of this study is to observe the axial IOL rotation after surgery with a capsular tension ring (CTR) and a MC6125 AS IOL. At the end of surgery the orientation of the IOL is documented with a short video clip via the operating microscope unit. Follow-up examinations are performed 1 hour, 1 week and 6 months after surgery. Rotational stability of the IOL is assessed using retroillumination images with a method to avoid bias from cyclorotation or head tilt.
Prospective, bicentric observational study to assess a novel system for automated control of mechanical ventilation (Smart Vent Control, SVC) during general anesthesia.
BM32 is a product for immunotherapy of grass pollen allergies. It consists of 4 different recombinant proteins (BM321, BM322, BM325 and BM326) adsorbed on alhydrogel. This prospective, double-blind. placebo controlled, mono-centric trial investigates the levels of allergen specific IgG antibodies following 3, 4 or 5 subcutaneous injections before the grass pollen season.
This study will compare the efficacy and safety of 2 different treatment durations of peginterferon alfa-2a (Pegasys) plus ribavirin in patients with CHC. The anticipated time on study treatment is 1-2 years, and the target sample size is greater than (>) 500 individuals.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the long term efficacy and safety of intravitreal ranibizumab compared with laser ablation therapy in patients who were treated for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in the core study CRFB002H2301 (NCT02375971)
The aim of this study is to investigate the early serum measurement (<6h after injury) of mRNA miR Let-7i, miR-16 and miR-92 in patients with MHI and intracranial traumatic lesions (CCT pos.) as compared to those in patients with MHI without intracranial traumatic lesions (CCT neg.). S100B serum levels will be measured in both groups. The usual risk factors for the occurrence of an intracranial hematoma (diagnostic algorithm) will be recorded. Additionally, a group of healthy individuals will serve as a control group.
This is a two-cohort, multicenter, open-label study of tafasitamab (MOR208) combined with idelalisib or venetoclax in adult patients with R/R CLL or R/R SLL pretreated with a BTK inhibitor (e.g., ibrutinib) as single agent or as part of combination therapy. Patients completing the study treatment are invited to participate in an optional biomarker sub-study.
The investigators will define procoagulant properties of packed red blood cells and investigate whether packed red blood cells from certain donor populations are prone to induce procoagulant states.
