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 is carried out to assess whether dapagliflozin improves glycemic control, decreases fasting plasma glucose levels, body weight and blood pressure when added to patient's existing medications and how it compares with their usual treatment without added dapagliflozin. Safety data will be collected and analysed to confirm that treatment with dapagliflozin is safe and well tolerated in patients who have diabetes and cardiovascular disease

Regular wound healing follows a well-ordered sequence of overlapping phases: inflammation, proliferation, maturation and remodelling. In the young, damage to an organ mostly triggers fully regenerative mechanisms called "primary" wound healing. Repeated damage in young individuals may cause "secondary" wound healing eg. scar formation reflecting a rescue program, in which reorganisation has failed. Organ failure in the ageing organism is characterized by a progressive loss of its capability to achieve an orderly reactivation of organ repair, and results in a combination of chronic inflammation and fibroproliferative, non-regenerative repair affecting several organs, including lung, liver and skin. RESOLVE's objective is to identify, characterize, and validate molecular targets responsible for shifting primary organ repair towards fibroproliferative wound healing as a result of an age-dependent loss of regulatory control. The structured approach is based on - different forms of wound healing, - different human diseases and - different genetic backgrounds, aiming to provide future diagnostic tools in various organs, to create transgenic animal test systems, and to identify molecular targets involved in fibroproliferative wound healing.
Biofilms on oral piercings may serve as a bacterial reservoir and lead to systemic bacteraemia or local transmission of periopathogenic microbiota. The investigators hypothesize that there are microbiological differences in bacterial samples collected from tongue /or lip piercings made of different materials. The investigators also hypothesize that the piercings carry the same characteristic bacteria as found in the piercing channels and that independently the biofilm on the tongue/adjacent teeth is similar to the other study locations. 85 subjects with tongue and 85 subjects with lip piercing will participate. Periodontal clinical parameters, traumata of hard tissues, and characteristics of the stud are evaluated. Sterile piercings of four different materials will be randomly allocated to the study subjects. After two weeks, microbiologic samples are collected and are processed by checkerboard DNA-DNA hybridization methods.
The purpose of this study is to compare treatment with RAD001 plus best supportive care (BSC) to placebo plus BSC in patients with advanced HCC whose disease progressed while on or after sorafenib treatment or who are intolerant to sorafenib.
To demonstrate that Intrathecal Baclofen (ITB) Therapy, compared to Best Medical Treatment (BMT), has superior efficacy in the treatment of severe spasticity in adult post-stroke patients with generalized spastic hypertonia who have not reached their therapy goal with other treatment interventions assessed by a decrease in the average Ashworth Scale (AS) score in the lower extremities.
The study, with the ASTRA TECH Implant System, is comparing short implants (OsseoSpeed™) to standard length implants (OsseoSpeed™) in combination with bone grafting. The hypothesis is that the use of short implants in posterior maxilla with inadequate bone is as safe and predictable as placing standard length implants in combination with bone augmentation.
The effect of acupuncture for postoperative pain control remains controversial. We therefore studied the effects of electrical auricular acupuncture (AA) on postoperative opioid consumption in a randomized, patient-blinded clinical trial. 40 female patients undergoing laparoscopy were included. Anaesthetized patients were randomly assigned to receive AA (shen men, thalamus and one segmental organ-specific point) or electrodes and electrical stimulation for 72 hours. Postoperatively patients received 1 g paracetamol every 6 hours and additional piritramide on demand. A blinded observer obtained the doses of piritramide and the visual analogue pain scores (VAS) at 0, 2, 24, 48, and 72 hours. It was the aim of our study to find out, whether auricular acupuncture reduces postoperative pain.
No head to head comparisons between exenatide once weekly and liraglutide have been performed. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to compare exenatide once weekly to once-daily liraglutide with regard to HbA1c, body weight, subject-reported outcomes, and other clinical benefits. The study includes a 26-week treatment period and a safety follow-up visit 10 weeks after the final study drug dose.
