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.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of two dose levels of certolizumab pegol in adults with moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis.
DISCOVER is a Non Interventional Study study to describe the disease management patterns and clinical evolution over three years in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients initiating a second line anti-diabetic treatment.
The aim of this study is to assess the clinical effectiveness of the RehaARM-robot and to determine the feasibility of including robotic therapy in daily rehabilitation programmes, after stroke. Additionally, we aim to investigate the acceptance of this intervention from patients and therapists. A total of 10 patients will be recruited in this study, all the patients will receive 1 hour of standard therapy together with 45 min of robot therapy every day. The robot therapy will last 45 minutes, for 15 consecutive days within a maximum period of four weeks. Additional 15 minutes are required for placing surface electrodes on the shoulder and patient preparation. The study will include passive and active shoulder training of four movements: Horizontal abduction/adduction, abduction/adduction, internal/external rotation and flexion/extension. The passive part lasts 10 minutes and the active part 35 minutes.
The purpose of this study is to look at the long term safety profile of Orfadin treatment in patients suffering from hereditary tyrosinemia type 1 (HT-1). Patients included in the study will use Orfadin according to normal clinical practice.
During the last decade optical coherence tomography (OCT) extended the possibilities for in vivo macula diagnostic and was increasingly used for pre- and post-operative imaging of retinal diseases. Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) with its increased scanning speed and image-resolution provides more detailed information of microstructures in the macula. Epiretinal membrane (ERM) is a disorder involving the posterior pole of the eyeball. It can be idiopathic or caused secondarily in various ocular conditions, such as uveitis, trauma, retinal detachment or retinal vascular diseases. In patients who suffer from loss of vision and metamorphopsia, vitrectomy and membrane peeling is usually performed to remove the ERM. Different study groups showed that intraoperative use of SD-OCT is possible. Two groups already achieved to work operation microscope integrated SD-OCT setup. Due to the high axial resolution of the SD-OCT some groups reported about an increased hyporeflective zone in the subfoveal region appearing directly after the membrane peeling procedure. It was hypothesized that this phenomenon could be an expression of surgical trauma, as this hyporeflective zone disappears in follow up OCT 10 days after surgery.
The aim of this randomized, stratified, single-blinded study is to compare two home based strength-training protocols (High Intensity Interval Training and Progressive Resistance Training) and their effects on muscle strength, gait and aerobic and anaerobic capacity in children with cerebral palsy.
Ischemia reperfusion injury may be attenuated by HO-1 induction. Our previous data confirmed strong HO-1 induction in peripheral blood cells following heme arginate infusion in healthy humans. Furthermore, we could demonstrate the amelioration of experimental ischemia reperfusion injury in the calf musculature by heme arginate in healthy subjects as measured by functional MRI. Therefore, we propose that HO-1 induction in the human heart may be a suitable target to mitigate cardiac ischemia-reperfusion injury. The HO-1 induction will be assessed in a clinical trial by myocardial biopsy prior to and after aortic cross-clamping in subjects with or without preceding heme arginate treatment in two different dosages. The HO-1 expression will also be measured in the clinical trials in peripheral blood mononuclear cells. As additional outcome, levels of myoglobin, creatine-kinase and troponin T and reactive oxygen species will be measured in plasma according to standard laboratory procedures.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of ixazomib maintenance therapy on progression free survival (PFS) compared with placebo, in participants with NDMM who have had a major response (complete response [CR], very good partial response [VGPR], or partial response [PR]) to initial therapy and who have not undergone SCT.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if an early mobilization after distal radius fractures treated by surgery leads to an better functional outcome then immobilization after surgery for 5 weeks in a cast
The purpose of this study is to find out whether rivaroxaban is safe to use in children and how long it stays in the body. Safety will be assessed by looking at the incidence and types of bleeding events. There will also be a check for worsening of blood clots.
