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 primary objective of this study is to evaluate whether the patients with Type 1 diabetes mellitus in sub-optimal glycemic control can achieve better glycemic control by using the Medtronic MiniMed Paradigm® REAL-Time Pump System with continuous glucose monitoring versus the Medtronic MiniMed Paradigm® REAL-Time Pump alone with Self Monitoring Blood Glucose (SMBG).Our null hypothesis is there is a 0% reduction in HbA1c from baseline compared to control group, after 6 months of treatment.
BACKGROUND. Arterial access site complications remain the most frequent adverse events after percutaneous transluminal procedures. We investigated the safety and efficacy of the pro-coagulant wound dressing Neptune Pad ® compared to conventional manual compression for access site management after peripheral percutaneous interventions. METHODS. We enrolled 201 consecutive patients and randomly assigned patients for Neptune Pad ® (n=100) vs. conventional manual compression (n=101). Patients were followed clinically until hospital discharge and by duplex ultrasound at 24 hours postprocedure for occurrence of access site complications. Time-to-hemostasis and time-to-ambulation were recorded, patients´ and physicians´ discomfort were measured using a visual analogue scale.
During resuscitation of out of hospital cardiac arrest patients the use of a mechanical chest compression device Autopulse will improve survival compared to manual compressions.
The objective is to demonstrate equivalence of three commercial IC51 batches in terms of geometric mean titers for anti-JEV neutralizing antibody
The objective is to assess the effect of a booster vaccination on immunogenicity of IC51 in terms of seroconversion rate.
H2-receptor antagonists are the gold standard for stress ulcer prophylaxis in critically ill patients. Various studies demonstrated superiority of proton pump inhibitors over H2-receptor antagonists in increasing gastric pH and in healing gastric acid-dependent diseases. It is unknown, whether proton pump inhibitors are more effective in increasing gastric pH than H2-receptor antagonists in critically ill patients requiring stress ulcer prophylaxis.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the effectiveness of paliperidone palmitate in patients with Schizophrenia.
The general aim of this study is to obtain long-term safety and tolerability data on pramipexole extended release (ER), in daily doses from 0.375mg to 4.5mg once daily (qd), in patients who have previously completed a pramipexole double-blind study in advanced Parkinson's disease (PD) (248.525 trial).
This study will investigate the efficacy of weekly intravenous obinutuzumab [GA101 (RO5072759)] monotherapy, in patients with relapsed CD20+ indolent Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Patients will be randomized to receive either GA101 or rituximab, given as four weekly infusions. At the conclusion of the initial trial patients may be eligible to continue therapy up to 24 months. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3- 24 months, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.
Trainees (Residents in internal medicine), naive to real patient endoscopy, will be randomized to receive either 3 weeks/2 hours per day of structured training for a total of 20 hours on the virtual endoscopy simulator GI-Mentor or no training before starting on-patient endoscopy in the University of Vienna Medical School Endoscopy Unit. Patients satisfaction and pain, technical accuracy and number of found/missed pathologies as well as average time for successful endoscopy will be recorded. After one month or 50 supervised, self performed endoscopies, trainees will be evaluated again with the above mentioned criteria during ten consecutive investigations.
