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.
In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial we plan to enrol 200 vitamin D deficient hypertensive patients. Our main objective is to evaluate whether vitamin D3 supplementation with 2,800 IU daily for 8 weeks has an effect on 24-hour systolic ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) compared to placebo. In addition, we also aim to evaluate whether vitamin D3 supplementation alters 24-hour diastolic ABP, pulse wave velocity, N-terminal-pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-pro-BNP), corrected QT interval (Bazett formula), renin, aldosterone, 24-hour urinary albumin excretion, HOMA-IR (HOmeostatic Model Assessment: Insulin Resistance), triglycerides and HDL-cholesterol.
This is a multicenter, Phase III, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, parallel-group study to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and tolerability of etrolizumab compared with infliximab in treating participants with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis (UC) who are naive to tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors. Participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either etrolizumab 105 milligrams (mg) by subcutaneous (SC) injection once every 4 weeks (Q4W) + placebo (intravenous [IV] infusion at Weeks 0, 2, and 6, then once every 8 weeks [Q8W]) or infliximab 5 milligrams/kilogram (mg/kg) IV at Weeks 0, 2, and 6, then Q8W) + placebo (SC Q4W). Time on treatment is 54 weeks.
This trial is conducted in Europe. The aim of the trial is to investigate the pharmacokinetic (the exposure of the trial drug in the body) and pharmacodynamic (the effect of the investigated drug on the body) properties of faster-acting insulin aspart in subjects with Type 1 diabetes.
In this research project a module based Ambient Assisted Living solution will be provided to elderly living in assisted living homes. Those products and services seek to impact quality of life of the elderly and have positive effects on their environment.

Phase Ib / II study to determine the Maximum Tolerated Dose and Recommended Phase II Dose, and to evaluate the safety and antitumour activity, of BI 836845 and everolimus in combination with exemestane in women with HR+/HER2- advanced breast cancer
Retrospective analysis of patients undergoing laparoscopic incisional hernia repair. Study group: Patients with incisional hernia post liver transplantation Control group: Patients with incisional hernia post any other laparotomy in the upper quadrant. Primary study outcome parameter: Risk of hernia recurrence. Secondary study outcome parameters: - Hernia repair-related infection rate - Postoperative morbidity Statistical analysis: Comparison of study versus control group, univariate and multivariate analysis, Chi² and Mann-Whitney-U tests. P-values <0.05 were considered significant.
The present trial will use an open label design to investigate the effect of BI 144807 on central 1-mm retinal thickness and presence of neovascular leakage in newly diagnosed wAMD patients. A further objective is to collect data on adverse events, vital signs, ECG and clinical laboratory parameters of BI 144807 in the same patient group.
Background: Coronary heart disease is the most common cause of death in industrialized countries. Revascularisation by percutaneous coronary angioplasty or thrombolysis is the main principle for treatment of the acute coronary syndrome. To inhibit platelet activity patients are routinely given acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) and clopidogrel, a second-generation thienopyridine. Recently, ticagrelor, a novel cyclopentyl-triazolo-pyrimidine with several pharmacological advantages, has demonstrated greater efficacy but a higher bleeding risk than clopidogrel. Coronary thrombus formation is a complex process and the antithrombotic mechanisms of platelet function inhibitors are incompletely understood. Studies in venous blood or in vitro do not truly reflect the in vivo circumstances as they often do not take into account flow conditions or the interaction between endothelium, blood cells and coagulation factors. Results from animal models may not be relevant for the prothrombotic mechanisms in humans. We have developed a technique that allows investigating hemostatic system activation directly at the site of thrombus formation in vivo in humans. Aim: to compare the inhibitory effects of clopidogrel and ticagrelor (with and without concomitant ASA) on hemostatic system activation under circumstances close to the in vivo situation. Design, patients and interventions: prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled parallel-group study with a 2x2 factorial design including 112 healthy volunteers who will be randomised to 4 treatment arms: ticagrelor or clopidogrel + placebo, ticagrelor or clopidogrel + ASA. Outcome variables: Indicators of platelet and coagulation activation [ß-thromboglobulin and thromboxane B2 as well as prothrombin fragment F1+2 and D-Dimer, respectively] will be measured before and at several time points during a 8 day period in venous blood and in blood emerging from a standardized injury of the microvasculature to determine bleeding time (shed blood). Statistical considerations: Sample size calculation is based on the percent change in the main outcome variable "β-TG in shed blood" from baseline to 2 hours after treatment start. Statistical analysis is based on the full analysis set, including all randomized subjects who received at least the starting dose of the study medication and for whom blood collections at baseline and at 2 hours after treatment start have been performed.
