There are about 6869 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.
TripleTRE investigates the effect of initial triple combination therapy (oral endothelin receptor antagonist (ERA) + oral phosphodiesterase tyüe-5 inhibitor (PDE-5i) + parenteral treprostinil) compared to double oral therapy (oral ERA + oral PDE-5i) in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) patients (group I) with intermediate-high risk or patients with intermediate-low risk with severe hemodynamic impairment at baseline in a prospective, randomized, unblinded setting with scope of increasing evidence for optimization of therapy concepts in PAH. The effect of initial triple combination therapy vs initial double oral therapy (standard of care (SoC)) will be measured by primary endpoint: (non)response to the assigned treatment.
This is a Phase III, international, multi-centre, randomised, double-blind, parallel-group, double-dummy, active-controlled, event-driven study in patients with chronic HF and impaired kidney function who had a recent HF event. The aim is to evaluate the effect of balcinrenone/dapagliflozin vs dapagliflozin, given once daily on top of other classes of SoC, on CV death and HF events.
The purpose of this clinical study should be that, in the context of planned resections of glial brain tumors, pieces of tissue (biopsies) are removed from the tumor at several specific locations before the actual tumor resection takes place. The aim of these biopsies in advance to the actual tumor resection will be to receive tumor tissue samples not altered in such a way that it is no longer adequate for further treatment. If not adequate, a so-called "undergrading" could occur, which means that the biological structure of the tumor is misjudged and further therapy does not achieve the desired effect in the patient. On the one hand, certain tumor regions can drift due to a "brain shift" which leads to inaccurate tissue removal, and on the other hand samples are not altered by pressure or bleeding. To carry out these biopsies, a robot positioning device (AutoGuide®) will be used that has already been approved and tested for this type of intervention. The use of the AutoGuide® is intended to ensure that the tumor sample is taken with the greatest possible precision.
Lymphomas are a group of cancers that originate in the lymphatic system, a key component of the immune system. They can be broadly categorized into two main types: Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). There are different subtypes of HL, including classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) and nodular lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin lymphoma (NLPHL). The subtypes of cHL include nodular sclerosis, mixed cellularity, lymphocyte-rich, and lymphocyte-depleted. Non-Hodgkin lymphomas are more diverse and comprise a wide range of subtypes, each with distinct genetic, molecular, and clinical features. Common subtypes of NHL include Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), Follicular lymphoma (FL), Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), myeloma, and other rarer subgroups. Many of these diseases typically present with lymph node enlargement, bone marrow infiltration, general and lymphoma subtype specific symptoms and laboratory abnormalities. Novel agents have improved the prognosis of high-risk lymphoma patients in the front-line and relapsed setting and more accurate prognostic tools enable less intensive treatment for low-risk patients, while maintaining their good prognosis. Lymphoma disease have not been systematically assessed in Austria to date. This medical registry of the AGMT is thus the first Austrian-wide standardized documentation of epidemiology, clinical course and molecular and other biologic data of this disease. As lymphomas are a very heterogeneous group, not all subtypes will always be documented simultaneously in this registry. Which lymphoma subtype is to be documented can change over time, depending on which clinical question is currently in focus.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of lepodisiran in reducing cardiovascular risk in participants with high lipoprotein(a) who have cardiovascular disease or are at risk of a heart attack or stroke. The study drug will be administered subcutaneously (SC) (under the skin).
Background: Gender affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) leads to profound changes in sex hormone levels, carrying a wide range of implications for major physiological processes in the body. GAHT has been shown to be associated with changes in cardiovascular parameters, the insulin system, body composition, and the psychological state. However, despite the fact that GAHT is usually a long-term intervention, the majority of the research concerns itself with an overall short duration of the therapy and the data on the mid- to long-term effects of GAHT is scarce. Objectives: The study aims to investigate the effects of gender affirming hormone therapy on the cardiovascular risk profile, insulin system, body composition, various metabolic parameters, and the psychological state after 2, 5, and 10 years of the treatment. Study design: The study is designed as an observational longitudinal monocentric study, which includes transgender men and transgender women who have been taking gender affirming hormone therapy during the past 2 years and took part in our pilot study. Our probands will undergo a magnetic resonance scan, extensive bloodwork, an oral glucose tolerance test, and a psychological self-assessment after 2, 5, and 10 years of the treatment. Materials and methods: The magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy will be performed with a 3-Tesla magnetic resonance device. We will also perform an extensive blood analysis and an 75g- 2h oral glucose tolerance test. Additionally, the psychological state of the probands will be assessed with 3 questionnaires. Study population: 30 transgender men 30 transgender women who participated in our pilot study and have been taking the gender affirming hormone therapy for the past 2 years. Relevance and implications of the study: The majority of previous research has focused on the short-term effects of gender affirming hormone therapy. Contrastingly, our study aims to focus on the effects of hormone therapy at 2, 5 and 10 years after the beginning of the treatment. Moreover, our study group utilizes measurements of myocardial, hepatic, and pancreatic fat content as well as an MR-assisted measurement of cardiac function, which is a topic that has not been present in research into the effects of gender affirming hormone therapy outside of our pilot study.
The primary objective of this study to evaluate the efficacy of ravulizumab compared with placebo to reduce proteinuria and slow the rate of eGFR decline in adult participants with IgAN who are at risk of disease progression.
The study will investigate the safety of once weekly insulin icodec subcutaenously (s.c.) during and after exercise and prolonged fasting in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Participants will first receive insulin decludec (Tresiba®, a long-acting insulin taken once daily) for atleast one week. Afterwards participants will receive insulin icodec that will be administered once weekly at the study site (for a minimum of 7 weeks and maximum of 14 weeks). Insulin icodec is a novel long-acting insulin analogue for once-weekly administration for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. The study will last for about 16-30 weeks. Participant must not participate if participant have suspected hypersensitivity reactions to the study products or cardiovascular diseases within the last 180 days. Female participant cannot take part if she is pregnant, breast-feeding or planning to become pregnant during the study period.
The aim of the present study is to determine if a regular oral supplementation of xanthohumol attenuate the severity of symptoms and duration of´viral infections.
The aim of the present study is to determine the effect of Iso-alpha-Acids and Xanthohumol from hops on the immune response of healthy participants over a timeframe of 6 hours.
