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.
Patients with severe aortic stenosis (sAS) treated with transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) (increasingly younger & lower risk pts) are experiencing SVD of the index THV and thus developing an indication for a redo-TAVI procedure. The evidence on redo-TAVI (where a transcatheter heart valve [THV] is implanted into another THV) is limited, with initial data showing acceptable safety as well efficacy in highly selected and limited populations. Aim is to evaluate short- and long-term data on patients undergoing transcatheter redo-TAVI procedures with THVs for failure of a previously implanted THV and to determine VARC-3 defined efficacy and safety at 30 days and functional outcome at 1 year.
In this phase III open label, controlled clinical trial patients with unresectable or metastatic soft-tissue sarcoma after failure of anthracycline-containing first line therapy or with contraindications to these drugs and CD13 positivity in central histology (grade >/= 1+) are treated to evaluate whether tTF-NGR in combination with standard trabectedin chemotherapy prolongs progression-free survival (according to iRECIST), as compared with trabectedin alone. Further objectives are to evaluate the efficacy of tTF-NGR in combination with standard trabectedin chemotherapy with respect to the response rate and overall survival as well as to assess the safety profile of tTF-NGR combined with trabectedin. Before the randomized phase III part of the study, there will be a safety run-in part. The final dose of tTF-NGR established as safe in this safety run-in part will be used for the randomized (parallel 1:1; Arm 1: standard trabectedin, Arm 2: standard trabectedin plus tTF-NGR) phase III part of this trail.
The goal of this invention study is test and compare short-term manual-based psychosocial group interventions in die Austrian population suffering from stresses and strains due to the Covid-19 Pandemic and other crises. The main question it aims to answer: Does short-term manual-based psychosocial group interventions improve the mental well-being of the participants? Participants will attend weekly a manual-based group (8 weeks) and answer online-questionnaires and surveys (pseudonymized).
Intraoperative hypotension is associated with postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). Even though the exact mechanism linking PONV and hypotension is still unclear, a reduced intestinal tissue perfusion might trigger nausea and vomiting. Still to date only limited data evaluating intraoperative blood pressure and the incidence of PONV after general anesthesia exits. Furthermore, the effect of intraoperative blood pressure variability on the incidence of PONV has not been investigated yet. Therefore, we will test our primary hypothesis that the incidence of PONV during the early (0-2h) postoperative period will be minimized by targeting intraoperative blood pressure variability to a SPB of 120±5mmHg by using a continuous vasopressor infusion in female patients undergoing elective minor to moderate risk non-cardiac surgery.
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of astegolimab compared with placebo in participants with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who are former or current smokers and have a history of frequent exacerbations.
The purpose of this pilot study is to overcome the limited evidence on enteral fluid administration in intensive care medicine and to generate data for further hypothesis generation in an exploratory setting. This trial is a prospective, multicenter, randomized, parallel group, open-label study to compare the current standard of practice, the intravenous fluid administration, with a more physiological approach, the enteral fluid administration, in critically ill patients.
This study will collect real-world clinical and patient reported outcomes (PRO) and diary data from eligible patients with documented Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2+) [globally] or HER2-low [North America only] in routine clinical practice.
In this trial we intend to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the INSPIRIS valve prothesis in the pulmonary position in patients of five years or older, with congenital or acquired pulmonary valve disease, requiring replacement of their native or prosthetic pulmonary valve.
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled multicenter, phase 3 study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tezepelumab administered subcutaneously (SC) using an accessorized pre-filled syringe (APFS) versus placebo in adult and adolescent patients with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE).
PRO-RED is a prospective, longitudinal, and multicenter observational study. Enrolled patients will be followed for 6 months in at least monthly intervals in terms of their received red blood cell transfusions and routine myelodysplastic neoplasms (MDS)-associated clinical parameters. In addition, the participating subjects will be provided with a digital/mobile application covering a smartphone app or paper-based questionnaires to answer a set of quality of life (QoL) questions once a week. During routine visits in the clinical trials center performed by the treating physician (at least every month), patients will answer standardized questionnaires for the assessment of MDS-related QoL. Also, included patients will take a photo of fingernails/eyelids with their smartphone camera with the aim to further analyze these pictures in a way to potentially deduct correlated hemoglobin (Hb)-values. As a long term aim beyond the PRO-RED study, the data will serve as a training cohort for the development of an algorithm for image-based calculation of individual Hb levels.
