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 main objective of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of increasing doses of tapentadol prolonged release (PR) (500 mg per day) versus a combination of tapentadol PR (300 mg per day) and pregabalin (to 300 mg per day) in subjects requiring additional analgesia after titration to tapentadol PR 300 mg per day. This is a clinical effectiveness trial designed to establish a link between anticipated clinical outcomes and the clinical practice by means of selected measures of clinical and subject reported outcomes. Since, severe low back pain with a neuropathic component, the targeted study population, is frequently treated with a combination therapy (monotherapy is often not effective enough) it is of interest to determine if tapentadol alone (combining 2 mechanisms of action in a single molecule) could be as effective as a combination of tapentadol plus pregabalin. Furthermore, the tolerability profiles of monotherapy versus combination are of interest.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the AcuFocus Corneal Inlay ACI 7000PDT will provide an effective method of for the correction of presbyopia in patients who have normal distance vision but need correction such as glasses or contact lenses to see clearly at near.
This open-label, randomized, multicenter study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of bevacizumab (Avastin) in combination with standard of care (SOC) treatment in participants with advanced non-squamous NSCLC. Participants will be enrolled at documentation of progression of disease (PD) after 4-6 cycles of first-line treatment with bevacizumab plus a platinum doublet-containing therapy and a minimum of two cycles of bevacizumab maintenance treatment prior to PD. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two treatment arms to receive either bevacizumab plus SOC treatment or SOC treatment alone.
The aim of the present skin test study CS-BM32-001 is to evaluate whether the BM32 proteins exhibit low/no allergenic activity when applied by skin prick- and atopy patch testing to grass pollen allergic patients
This was a phase II, double-blind, randomized, proof-of-concept, dose-ranging trial evaluating the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of oral LDE225 in treatment of adult patients with NBCCS. This was an exploratory study designed to demonstrate preliminary efficacy of LDE225 in this indication. This study included a Screening period of approximately 4 weeks, treatment period duration of 12 weeks with initial follow-up of approximately 6-8 weeks followed by a long-term follow-up period.
To determine if arcuate incisions performed with the iFS femtosecond laser are safe and effective in reducing corneal astigmatism.
The aim of this study is to determine whether initiation of ticagrelor as early as in the ambulance setting leads to a rapid reperfusion of the infarct-related artery therefore facilitating the Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) and optimizing the outcome for the patient. The study will assess the efficacy and safety of pre-hospital compared to in-hospital administration of ticagrelor in co-administration with aspirin, on restoring the blood flow in the occluded heart artery and improving the myocardial perfusion in patients suffering from myocardial infarction and planned to have a PCI. Patients can be randomised in either one of the 2 arms: re-hospital ticagrelor arm: Patients will receive a loading dose of 180 mg ticagrelor for the pre-hospital administration and placebo for in-hospital administration. or In-hospital ticagrelor arm: Patients will receive a placebo for pre-hospital administration and 180 mg ticagrelor loading dose for in-hospital administration. Patients are initially managed by ambulance physician/personnel in pre hospital settings. They are then transferred into a Catheterization room to undergo a PCI. After the administration of the loading dose of ticagrelor (double blind), patients will continue on ticagrelor 90 mg bid and be followed in study for 30 days post randomisation.
Development of New-Onset Diabetes after Transplantation (NODAT) is common and serious complication after kidney transplantation. Patients who develop NODAT are at increased risk for loss of the transplanted organ and for diseases of the cardiovascular system. It is believed that in many patients the development of overt NODAT is preceded by a phase of impaired glucose tolerance that is called pre-diabetes. This study aims at improving glucose metabolism in patients after kidney transplantation who are in a pre-diabetic metabolic state. Patients who exhibit impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) after kidney transplantation are randomized to either receive vildagliptin (Galvus), pioglitazone(Actos) or placebo for three months. The investigators hypothesize that treatment with vildagliptin or pioglitazone leads to improved glycemic control compared to placebo.
This randomised, open-label, phase III study will be performed in patients with R/M head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) who have progressed after platinum-based therapy. The objectives of the trial are to compare the efficacy and safety of afatinib versus methotrexate
A placebo (Part A) and placebo and active comparator controlled (Part B), double-blind and randomized study to assess safety and tolerability of a new drug (BAY94-8862) given orally
