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 most appropriate initial oxygen concentration for the resuscitation of the extremely low birth weight infant has not been established using large well designed, randomized, blinded, prospective trials and the level of oxygen utilized by practitioners in this situation is highly variable. This proposed trial will use targeted oxygen saturation levels over the first 15 to 20 minutes of life to compare a low and a higher initial oxygen level for the resuscitation of such infants, and will be large enough to evaluate short term outcomes of survival without oxygen at 36 weeks and survival without retinopathy of prematurity, and the long term outcome of survival without significant neurodevelopmental impairment at 2 years of age. Such information is urgently required to provide an evidence basis for the initial oxygen concentration for resuscitation of these very preterm infants.
This trial is a randomized study of the MitraClip device in heart failure patients with clinically significant functional mitral regurgitation. A hierarchical composite of all-cause mortality and recurrent heart failure hospitalizations is hypothesized to occur at a lower rate with the use of the MitraClip device in addition to optimal standard medical therapy compared to optimal standard of care therapy alone.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the True Human Monoclonal antibody Xilonix (MABp1) can prolong the life of colorectal carcinoma patients that are refractory to standard therapy.
The primary objective of this study ist to test the hypothesis that ticagrelor is superior to Aspirin (ASA) fort he prevention of major cardio- and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) in patients undergoing artery bypass operation. The primary efficiacy MACCE-endpoint is the composite of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, recurent revascularisation, and stroke at twelve month after coronary artery bypass operation.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ABH001 in the treatment of patients with epidermolysis bullosa who have wounds that are not healing. It is hypothesized that ABH001 may initiate and continue wound healing in patients with epidermolysis bullosa.
Long term treatment with anti-glaucomatous drugs has been shown to increase the incidence of dry eye syndrome with all known consequences such as ocular discomfort and epithelial keratitis. Given that thinning of the tear film appears to be a risk factor for the development or the aggravation of dry eye syndrome, the current study seeks to investigate whether tear film thickness is changed after topical treatment with anti-glaucomatous drugs in healthy subjects. For this purpose, tear film thickness will be measured at baseline and after single instillation of one of 5 study drugs in one randomly chosen eye. In addition, one group of 20 subjects will receive no drug and will serve as a second control. Drug effects on tear film thickness will be compared to the fellow, non-treated eye. In addition, effects on tear film thickness of timolol with preservatives (Timoptic 0.5%) will be compared to timolol without preservatives (Timophtal sine 0.5%) and three lubricants with different viscosity (Genteal HA, Hylo-Comod, Thealoz).
Long-term study to evaluate if macitentan is safe, tolerable and efficient enough to be used for treatment of Eisenmenger syndrome.
The purpose of this phase Ib clinical trial is to evaluate the safety of the combination of INC424 and BKM120 in the myelofibrosis population and to establish the maximum tolerated dose and or the Recommended Phase II dose of the combination guided by the Bayesian dose escalation model. INC424 has shown efficacy in myelofibrosis (MF) and is approved in the US and EU for the treatment of MF. BKM120 is a PI3K inhibitor. Preclinical and early clinical experience support inhibition of the PI3K/mTOR pathway in MF as aberrant activation of the pathway has been observed in MF models and may contribute to the pathogenesis of the disease.
During CPR bag-valve mask ventilation is difficult for basically skilled rescuers. Ventilation may be inefficient or with too high pressures result in stomach inflation and aspiration. Studies suggest that with a supraglottic airway device, such as the laryngeal tube, a basically skilled rescuer may ventilate more efficient and also safer. No prehospital study has been conducted comparing laryngeal tube and bag-valve mask ventilation during CPR. Thus, this study intends to compare ventilation with laryngeal tube and bag-valve mask performed by paramedics during CPR.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of peripheral nerve stimulation utilizing a subcutaneous lead implant technique (SQS) plus optimized medical management (OMM) versus OMM alone in patients suffering from back pain due to Failed Back Surgery Syndrome (FBSS).
