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.
Randomized phase II study to investigate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of ZK 230211 (100 mg vs. 25 mg) as second-line endocrine therapy for postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive metastatic breast cancer.Once the cancer has spread beyond the lymph nodes to areas such as e.g. the skin, soft tissues, lung, and liver it is called metastatic breast cancer. Patients who have been diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer that has progressed since their previous cancer treatment and that cannot be removed completely by surgery are eligible to be treated within this trial.Treatment with a new drug called Progesterone Receptor Antagonist ZK 230211 (ZK PRA) targets the progesterone receptor which may be expressed on breast cancer tumour cells. Therefore only patients with this progesterone receptor on their tumour cells can be included in this study.Progesterone receptor antagonists (including onapristone) have already shown efficacy in postmenopausal women with advanced breast cancer (Klijn et al. 2000). This phase II study investigates the efficacy (proof of concept), safety and tolerability of ZK PRA at two dose levels (25 mg and 100 mg) before initiating pivotal phase III trials.
Study aim: To determine the effect of an intensified daily photoprotection over 24 months with an SPF30 sunscreen and an after sun-lotion both containing liposomal DNA repair enzymes in a population of patients at high-risk for skin cancer, including xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) and basal cell nevus syndrome.
Polymorphic light eruption (PLE) is a photodermatosis with an extremely high prevalence, particularly among young women (up to 20%). The disease is characterized through itchy skin lesions on sun-exposed body sites occurring after sun exposure mostly in spring and early summer. Its etiopathogenesis is unknown but resistance to UV-induced immunosuppression with subsequent immune reactions against skin photoneoantigens has been suggested. Regulatory T cells (CD4+CD25+FoxP3+) (Tregs), a subset of T helper cells, are crucial for the induction of immunosuppression. We will test the hypothesis that PLE patients show pathogenic fluctuating Treg levels and function and related parameters over the seasons of the year, possibly being responsible for lack of immune modulation and autoimmunity in PLE. Natural or medical photohardening may normalize Treg deficiency in PLE and lead to clinical adaption in summer. Better insight into the pathogenesis of PLE may give clues to develop new therapeutic strategies.
Enthuse M1 is a large phase III clinical trial studying the safety and efficacy of ZD4054 (Zibotentan) in patients with hormone resistant prostate cancer and bone metastases. - This clinical trial will test if the Endothelin A Receptor Antagonist ZD4054 (Zibotentan) can improve survival compared with placebo. - ZD4054(Zibotentan) is a new type of agent, which is thought to slow tumour growth and spread by blocking Endothelin A receptor activity. This trial will look at the effects of ZD4054 (Zibotentan) in hormone resistant prostate cancer patients with bone metastases. - All patients participating in this clinical trial will receive existing standard prostate cancer treatments in addition to trial therapy. - Half the patients will receive ZD4054 (Zibotentan), and half the patients will receive placebo in addition to standard prostate cancer therapy. By participating in this trial there is a 50% chance that patients will receive an agent that may slow the progression of the tumour. - No patients will be deprived of standard prostate cancer therapy.
RATIONALE: Estrogen can cause the growth of breast cancer cells. Letrozole may fight breast cancer by lowering the amount of estrogen the body makes. It is not yet known which regimen of letrozole is more effective in postmenopausal women who have received hormone therapy for early-stage breast cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is comparing two different regimens of letrozole in preventing cancer in postmenopausal women who have received 4-6 years of hormone therapy for hormone receptor-positive, lymph node-positive, early-stage breast cancer.
The primary objective of this trial is to demonstrate that the fixed dose combination of telmisartan 40mg + amlodipine 10mg (T40/A10) or the fixed dose combination of telmisartan 80mg + amlodipine 10mg (T80/A10) is superior in reducing blood pressure at eight weeks compared with amlodipine 10mg monotherapy (A10) in patients who fail to respond to six weeks treatment with A10.
The primary objective of the study is to assess the safety of long term therapy with Certolizumab Pegol in those subjects participating in study C87085 [NCT00552058].
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate efficacy of certolizumab pegol in inducing clinical remission in patients with moderate to severe Crohn's disease as compared with placebo based on Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) score at Week 6.
To assess the long-term safety and tolerability of ACP-103 in subjects with Parkinson's disease psychosis.
Etanercept, a biological antipsoriatic drug with anti-tumor-necrosis factor (TNF) activity has been approved for the treatment of moderate to severe psoriasis. However, in a substantial portion of cases etanercept does not induce reduction in psoriasis area and severity index (PASI) of 75% or greater, now being considered as gold standard for treatment efficacy. In this study the researchers aim to determine in a randomized half-side comparison, whether additional narrowband UVB-311nm phototherapy accelerates and improves the therapeutic efficacy of etanercept.
