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.
This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and antiviral efficacy of GS-7977 with ribavirin (RBV) in participants with genotype 2 or 3 hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection.
This was a two-arm, randomized, double-blind Phase III study of dabrafenib in combination with trametinib versus two placebos in the adjuvant treatment of melanoma after surgical resection. Patients with completely resected, histologically confirmed, BRAF V600E/K mutation-positive, high-risk [Stage IIIa (lymph node metastasis >1 mm), IIIb or IIIc] cutaneous melanoma were screened for eligibility. Subjects were randomized to receive either dabrafenib (150 milligram (mg) twice daily [BID]) and trametinib (2 mg once daily [QD]) combination therapy or two placebos for 12 months.
The SAPT-NODAT study will test the hypotheses that intensive subcutaneous insulin treatment with short acting insulin, applied continuously through an insulin pump, (i) improves glycemic control, (ii) reduces the prevalence of NODAT and prediabetes, and (iii) offers further β-cell protection, in comparison to the standard of care control group, and the basal insulin treatment group. In the SAPT-NODAT study, we will employ sensor-augmented insulin-pump technology, which performs like a semi-closed loop to prevent hypoglycemic events. Patients in the SAPT-NODAT study will be followed through 24 months post-transplantation.
Study the structural behaviours of weak muscle of elderly and evaluate the efficiency of two different types of training.
Establish an international registry of over 400 patients with deep infections involving the bone and/or joint from≥20 centers representing all regions of the world with varied hospital and surgeon practice settings to ensure that registry analyses and research reflect typical clinical practice thereby providing optimal guidance for patients, clinicians, and healthcare researchers. Using a data collection platform that minimizes entry burden, collects most information at the time of surgery, and uses Internet technology to minimize data entry. The registry will include: 1. baseline patient attributes; 2. surgical approach, implants and technology; 3. hospital course; 4. surgeon and institutional characteristics; 5. longitudinal patient outcome, 6. post-procedure complications and revisions, 7. serum/tissue/drainage samples.
This study is designed to verify that web based follow up intervention after a classic multidisciplinary face-to-face obesity treatment will reinforced nutrition and exercise self-efficacy, improve drop out rate and advance sustainability after weight loss of obese women. Research Questions and Hypotheses - How does a web based follow up intervention change self-efficacy of women participating in an obesity intervention? - How does a web based follow up intervention affect the drop out rate of women participating in an obesity intervention? - How does a web based follow up intervention influence sustainability of women participating in an obesity intervention?
Despite many years of research, an incomprehensible amount of scientific efforts worldwide and billions of dollars invested, no effective therapy resulting in major neurological or functional recovery is available to date for traumatic spinal cord injury (tSCI). Although there is increasing experimental evidence from animal models that surgical decompression of the spinal cord improves recovery after tSCI, clinical studies have not shown conclusive data yet. The main explanations for this lack of convincing evidence are relatively small sample sizes in previous studies, their predominantly retrospective nature, suboptimal measurement methods for the assessment of neurological deficits, and inappropriate recording and documentation of potential confounding factors.
The diagnostic work-up of patients suspected of having neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) has traditionally been a challenging issue. The last two decades have been marked by the application to use in the diagnosis of NETs of 3 newly available diagnostic techniques: endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS), multidetector CT (MDCT), and more recently, positron emission tomography using 68Ga-labelled octreotide analogues (PET). In a prospective study conducted at a single referral centre that compared PET with conventional somatostatin receptor scintigraphy and MDCT in diagnosis, staging and follow-up of patients affected by NET, PET detected more primary and secondary lesions than other methods. Recent studies investigated the clinical impact of PET in the management of patients affected by NET, previously studied by MDCT. The investigators recently reported the results of the investigation of 19 patients suspected of having primary pancreatic NET and studied by PET, MDCT and EUS. The investigators preliminary data suggest that PET may be slightly more sensitive than MDCT in detecting small (<2cm) pancreatic lesions; accuracy of PET and EUS is probably similar. No prospective study has yet been devoted to evaluate the accuracy of PET in the diagnosis and staging of primary duodenal-pancreatic NETs. Furthermore, the clinical impact of the adjunct of PET to the traditional protocols of diagnosis and staging of these tumours waits to be thoroughly evaluated. Thus the appropriate place of PET in the diagnostic algorithm of patients suspected of having duodenal-pancreatic NET remains undefined. The main aim of this project is to prospectively compare the accuracy of PET and MDCT in the diagnosis and staging of patients suspected of having duodenal-pancreatic NETs. The investigators hypothesised that PET is superior to MDCT in the diagnosis of these neoplasm (the dimension of the study sample is estimated in order to detect a 10% difference). The impact of PET on management plan of affected patients will also be evaluated. As a secondary endpoint of the study, the investigators will compare EUS, PET and MDCT in the diagnosis of primary duodenal-pancreatic NET. The study is designed as a multicentre, prospective, non-randomised clinical trial. All patients will undergo MDCT, PET and EUS in this fixed order.
The purpose of the study is to compare the overall survival of BMS-936558 (Nivolumab) as compared with Docetaxel in subjects with non-squamous cell non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after failure of prior platinum-based chemotherapy
This observational study aims to investigate how VIMPAT® is used as adjunctive therapy in clinical practice and will also evaluate the subsequent change in the drug load of patients after addition of VIMPAT® to their treatment regimen.
