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 this study is the improvement of the penile linked neovaginal flora in male-to-female transsexuals after application of oral probiotics.
This is a multinational, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled study followed by active treatment, to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of two doses of oral administration of laquinimod in participants with RRMS. The study has 2 periods: Period 1, the double-blind, placebo-controlled period (up to 24 months) and Period 2, the active treatment period (24 months).
This trial is conducted in Europe. The aim of this trial is to evaluate the safety profile of insulin aspart in subjects with type 1 diabetes having participated in trial ANA/DCD/035.
An International, multicenter, epidemiological observational study investigating the prevalence of Transthyretin-Related Familial Amyloidotic Polyneuropathy (TTR-FAP) in participants with small fiber polyneuropathy of no obvious etiology.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, pharmacokinetic and activity profiles of the ch14.18 antibody produced in cells of hamster origin (ch14.18/CHO).
This pilot study is being mounted to assess whether treatment assignment by ERCC-1 gene expression status suggests better clinical results from historical experience in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). In wild type KRAS mCRC patients treated with either FOLFOX or FOLFIRI in combination with cetuximab the median response rate is approximately 60-65%. Biomarker directed treatment in this study may demonstrate that patients with low ERCC-1 treated with FOLFOX and cetuximab, and those with high ERCC-1 treated with FOLFIRI and cetuximab, will improve response rate to 70-75%. KRAS wild type patients will be treated with 6 cycles of one of the following regimens chosen for optimization based on patient characteristics (primary treatment phase). Patients with ERCC-1 < 1.7 relative gene expression of ERCC-1 over ß-actin (ERCC-1 low) will be assigned to treatment with mFOLFOX6 in combination with Cetuximab. Patients with ERCC-1 gene expression > 1.7 relative gene expression of ERCC-1 over over ß-actin (ERCC-1 high) will be assigned to treatment with FOLFIRI in combination with Cetuximab.
This is a trial in patients with previously untreated CLL. Eligible patients will receive Lenalidomide with a backbone of Fludarabine and Rituximab for 6 therapy cycles. Lenalidomide will be increased by dose steps of 5 mg every cycle in the absence of limiting toxicity. If limiting toxicity ensues the patients will be treated with last tolerable dose for the remainder of the 6 treatment cycles. The first 5 patients will start with dose level 5 mg Lenalidomide and further escalating dose. After the fifth patient is included in the study, enrolment will be interrupted until this patient has finished his first treatment cycle. A safety board will evaluate the toxicities of the first 5 patients. If there are more than 2 patients experiencing a dose limiting toxicity (DLT) in the first treatment cycle, the starting dose will not be escalated and further 5 patients will be enrolled with a starting dose of 5 mg Lenalidomide. If only 2 or less patients experience a DLT in the first treatment cycle, the next 5 patients will start the treatment with 10 mg Lenalidomide. The rational for the higher starting doses stems from the lack of tumor lysis or tumor flare toxicity in this combination on the one hand and from the observation that the very slow escalation from 2,5 mg on led to a lack of efficacy in monotherapy trials due to early progression in a relevant number of cases. The increase of the Lenalidomide dosage should result in an increased efficacy especially at the beginning and a higher cumulative dose of Lenalidomide. The identification of patients intolerant to Lenalidomide by immunophenotyping of the T cells for validation is also part of this trial, because intolerance seems to be not dose dependent but may be caused by T cell activation. Therefore, early identification of patients intolerant to this form of modern immunochemotherapy and establishing efficient Lenalidomide based combination therapy is an important part of improvement of current CLL treatment.
This two-cohort, open-label, multicenter study will assess the safety, efficacy and tolerability of trastuzumab emtansine in participants with HER2-positive locally advanced breast cancer (LABC) or metastatic breast cancer (mBC) who have received prior anti-HER2 and chemotherapy-based treatment. Participants in Cohort 1 will be drawn from the general participant population; Cohort 2 will include only Asian participants.
Introduction Liver resection is considered the only curative treatment option for mCRC patients without extrahepatic disease and is accepted practice. Despite substantial improvements in surgical techniques, postoperative morbidity and mortality remain an important concern after major resections. Complications of liver resection, although rare, include liver failure and acute kidney injury as indicated by oliguria and increased serum creatinine. The underlying pathophysiological pathways of post-operative renal alteration following liver resection is an increase in portal venous pressure, based on observations in animal models or small cohorts. The corpus of data is derived from patients with liver cirrhosis and subsequent hepatorenal syndrome. These data are limited since cirrhosis cannot distinguish between metabolic changes, portal hypertension and impaired liver function in the elucidation of the pathogenesis of renal alterations. Liver resection is therefore a potent model to evaluate the impact of portal hypertension on the kidney despite stable liver function. The most significant factor determining morbidity and mortality following hepatectomy is the ability of the remnant liver to regenerate. In this context, several growth factors were shown to regulate the highly orchestrated process of liver regeneration (LR). Hypothesis The investigators will therefore test the hypothesis that liver resection leads to a sustained increase of portalvenous pressure with a subsequent episode of oliguric renal impairment, correlating with the quantity of resected liver. Furthermore, the investigators will examine the relationship between postoperative liver regeneration and circulating growth factor levels in patients undergoing hepatectomy. Based on the preclinical data the investigators hypothesize that a circulating growth factor levels will be associated with delayed liver regeneration, an increased incidence of postoperative liver dysfunction and concomitant worse clinical outcome.
- Recipient desensitization protocols were shown to enable successful living donor kidney transplantation across major ABO blood group barriers. For extracorporeal depletion of circulating ABO antibodies plasmapheresis or ABO blood group specific immunoadsorption (IA) are most commonly used. - The efficiency of semiselective non-antigen specific IA in ABO-incompatible transplantation is currently not well established. One potential drawback of semiselective adsorbers could be an incomplete elimination of IgM. - This randomized controlled crossover trial was designed to clarify whether membrane filtration, as an adjunct to semiselective IA, can substantially enhance elimination of IgM.
