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 is a randomized, open-label, multicenter, prospective study to compare the efficacy and safety of the combination of VcR-CAP to that of R-CHOP in participants who have newly diagnosed mantle cell lymphoma grade II, III or IV and who are ineligible to undergo bone marrow transplantation.
The objectives of the Post Market Surveillance (PMS) study are to evaluate the treatment effect of pramipexole on Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) severity as measured by International Restless Legs Rating Scale and Global Clinical Impression - Improvement, to evaluate the time to reaching maintenance dose of pramipexole
This open-label, international multi-center extension study WA18695 was designed to assess the long term safety of tocilizumab in patients who had moderate to severe active rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Patients enrolled in the WA18695 study had previously received treatment in the 24-week, placebo-controlled, Phase III Study WA17822. Eligible patients were assigned to treatment with 8 mg/kg tocilizumab every 4 weeks for a maximum of 5 years.
Over the past few years, there has been a growing appreciation that a large number of patients with heart failure have a relatively normal (or preserved) ejection fraction (NFNEF). Epidemiologically, HFNEF is most prevalent among elderly women, most of whom have hypertension, diabetes, or both and often coronary artery disease (CAD). Increased arterial stiffness and/or wave reflections have been described in the same patient groups. Therefore, the investigators speculate that pulsatile hemodynamics, representing arterial stiffness and/or arterial wave reflections, 1) may be altered in HFNEF patients, 2) this may contribute to pathophysiology of HFNEF, and 3) this may be used for the diagnosis of the syndrome.
It has been shown that diffuse luminance flicker increases retinal and optic nerve head blood flow. This indicates that a neuro-vascular coupling between neural activity and blood flow exists in the retina as described previously for the brain. Although a lot of mediators such as NO, pO2, pCO2, H+ and K+ have been proposed, the mechanism of this coupling is still a matter of controversy. However, it has been shown in an animal experiment, that an increase in blood flow, evoked by diffuse luminance flicker stimulation is paralleled by decrease in pO2 in the tissue. In a recently performed study we could show that breathing of 100% O2 did not influence flicker induced changes in the retina and optic nerve head. However, breathing of 100% oxygen also leads to a pronounced vasoconstriction of the retinal vessels and in turn to a increased tension of the vessel wall. Recent evidence indicates that a combination of 92% O2 and 8% CO2 can, at least partially, counteract the vasoconstrictory effect of O2 and increases tissue pO2. Thus, in this study the investigators set out to investigate the flicker light induced increase in blood flow under a mixture of O2/CO2 .
The primary objective of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of the Ross River Virus (RRV) Vaccine in a healthy young adult population. Other objectives of this study are to assess the immunogenicity of the RRV Vaccine in a healthy young adult population and to identify the optimal dose level of the RRV Vaccine in a healthy young adult population.
To compare how well the new formulation of Tacrolimus® used once daily, in combination with other drugs helps prevent the rejection of a new kidney after transplantation compared to the twice daily dose of Tacrolimus
Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare the effect of ciliary body training as proposed by manufacturers of accommodating IOLs and patient motivation on the pseudoaccommodative ability with a standard intraocular lens (SA60AT). Setting: Department of Ophthalmology, Medical University of Vienna. Methods: This randomized, controlled, examiner-masked study comprised 80 eyes of 40 patients that underwent standard cataract surgery. Patients were randomly assigned to a "motivated" or "non-motivated" (control) group. In the motivated group, subjects were told to take part in a special protocol to improve their near-reading ability after cataract surgery and were instructed not to use near adds for at least 3 months. Follow-up examinations included best-corrected distance visual acuity (VA), distance-corrected near VA, best-corrected near VA, defocus curve and reading speed, as well as pilocarpine-, cyclopentolate- and nearpoint-induced IOL shift assessed with partial coherence interferometry.
The purpose of this academic lead study is to determine if a treatment strategy of early intensive blood pressure (BP) lowering compared to conservative BP lowering policy in patients with elevated blood pressure within 6 hours of acute intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) improves the outcome of death and disability at 3 months after onset.
This study will test the hypothesis that an electric heating device, the Hot Dog warming system is as effective as the Bair Hugger forced air heating system.
