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 aim of the study is to investigate the safety and tolerability of dabigatran etexilate solution in children aged less than 1 year, to demonstrate comparable PK/PD relationship to older children and adults and to confirm dabigatran etexilate dosing algorithm for children aged less than 1 year.
Part A (Phase IIa): Primary objectives: The study part A is designed to investigate whether the use of regorafenib eye drops can help patients with neovascular (wet) Age-Related Macular Degeneration (wAMD) to see better after 4 weeks and 12 weeks after inclusion into this study. Secondary objectives: The study will also evaluate the safety and tolerability of the regorafenib eye drops. Part B (Phase IIb): Primary objectives: The study part B is designed to investigate: - how often the regorafenib eye drops need to be given per day - whether the use of regorafenib eye drops can help patients with neovascular (wet) Age-Related Macular Degeneration (wAMD) to see better after 4 weeks and 12 weeks after inclusion into this study. Secondary objectives: The study will also evaluate how the different dosings of regorafenib eye drops affect patients vision, the safety and the tolerability.
Oxidative stress has been implicated to play a pathogenic role in many disease processes, especially in age-related disorders such as age-related macular degeneration. It has been hypothesized that antioxidative agents such as vitamins and minerals, which are capable of scavenging free radicals, may reduce oxidative stress and may, in turn, be beneficial for patients with age-related disorders. Based on this hypothesis several different combinations of vitamins have been introduced, all targeting at reducing oxidative stress. However, the in-vivo effect of the antioxidative properties of a certain drug or vitamin combination is hard to investigate. In the current study, we propose to investigate the effect of Retaron®, a combination of carotoinoids, omega-3-fatty acids, a herbal extract of Aronia, vitamins and trace elements, in a systemic in-vivo inflammation model. In the present study, the infusion of LPS, which is a cell wall component of gram-negative bacteria and a major mediator in the pathogenesis of septic shock, will be used as a standardized experimental model of systemic inflammation in humans. Given that inflammation is associated with enhanced oxidative stress and widespread endothelial dysfunction, the LPS model is well suitable for determination of the antioxidative effects of Retaron®. As a main outcome parameter the vascular reactivity of retinal vessels to systemic hyperoxia (induced by breathing 100% oxygen) will be tested in presence or absence of the antioxidant combination.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of treatment with ABT-450 co-formulated with ritonavir and ABT-267 (ABT-450/r/ABT-267) and ABT-333; 3-DAA regimen, with or without ribavirin (RBV) in adults with chronic hepatitis C virus genotype 1 (HCV GT1) infection.
This prospective database has two main objectives; - to evaluate the complication rates, 30-day and 90-day mortality from different surgical strategies for unresectable, borderline resectable or initially unresectable liver metastasis from colorectal cancer. - to establish baseline quality parameters for different surgical strategies for unresectable, borderline and initially unresectable colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM) patients.
Polycythemia Vera (PV) is a disease of bone marrow stem cells that manifests in a drastic increase of red blood cells and frequently also of white blood cells. The "thickening" of the blood in relation with a modified function of the cells has several consequences like increased blood pressure, pruritus of the skin, fatigue, disturbed blood circulation in the brain as well as fingers and toes and an increased risk of arterial and venous thrombosis (thrombosis is the formation of a blood clot in a vessel); like stroke, cardiac infarction, deep vein thrombosis in the legs. In case of a strong increase of platelets there is an additional risk of bleedings. As the disease progresses the size of spleen and liver increased in most cases and the bone marrow shows signs of fibrosis. In some cases of PV a progression at a later time point to a leukemia (increased formation of white blood cells) can occur. The aim of this study is to show that the study drug AOP2014 (pegylated proline interferon alpha-2b) has the long term efficacy and safety in controlling the disease. A comparison arm is receiving best available therapy as selected by the investigator. Response to the treatment is measured by several blood parameters as well as size of the spleen. Interferon-alpha has been shown to be effective in controlling the blood parameters by immunologically influencing the blood building cells. This can lead to a suppression of the disease-causing stem cells and help healthy stem cells to proliferate. Through this mechanism it is possible that Interferon-alpha can avoid long-term damaging effects of the disease.
Human milk is the best source of enteral nutrition for the preterm infant. However during the infants first hours and days of life breastmilk from the own mother is usually not available. Until May 2012 the practice in the Neonatal Division of the Department of Pediatrics /Medical University Vienna was to start with formula feedings within the first 6 hours of life of a premature infant and switch over to breastmilk as soon it was available. In June 2012 the investigators changed this feeding regimen and started to use single donor milk of mothers of preterm infants for the first hours and days of the preterm infants life. In a prospective observational study the investigators evaluated the impact of single donor milk from preterm infants on time to full enteral feedings, gastrointestinal tolerance and NEC incidence in preterm infants with a birthweight below 1500 grams and a gestational below 32 weeks. Data will be compared with a historical control group starting with preterm formula as source of enteral nutrition. The investigators hypothesize that starting enteral nutrition with single donor milk of mothers from preterm infants with shorten time to full enteral feedings.
This is a follow-up study to assess safety and clinical activity of continued AFFITOPE® PD01A vaccinations in patients with Parkinson's disease. Patients, who have already participated in AFF008 will be involved and will be receive one boost immunization with AFFITOPE® PD01A. One study site in Vienna (Austria) will be involved. In addition, up to 8 patients will be offered participation within an untreated control group.
The purpose of this Phase 1, prospective, uncontrolled, open-label, multicenter, dose-escalation study is to evaluate the safety, including immunogenicity, and pharmacokinetics of BAX930 (rADAMTS13) in a total of 14 evaluable subjects diagnosed with severe hereditary thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) (plasma ADAMTS13 activity <6%) who are assigned to one of three dose cohorts.
This study will compare the safety and effectiveness of PF-05280586 versus rituximab-EU in patients with CD20-positive, low tumor burden follicular lymphoma. The primary hypothesis to be tested in this study is that the effectiveness of PF-05280586, as measured by the Overall Response Rate, is similar to that of rituximab-EU.
