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 purpose of the present trial is therefore to assess effects of arginine vasopressin vs. saline placebo on hospital admission rate (primary end point), as well as hemodynamic variables, fluid resuscitation requirements and hospital discharge rate (secondary study end points) in presumed traumatic hemorrhagic shock patients with a systolic arterial blood pressure <90 mm Hg after 10 min of standard shock treatment. Accordingly, the study reflects an add-on design to standard traumatic shock therapy. The hypothesis is that both arginine vasopressin and saline placebo have comparable effects on hemodynamic variables, fluid resuscitation requirements, and hospital admission and discharge rate. The alternative hypothesis is that arginine vasopressin has more beneficial effects on hemodynamic variables, fluid resuscitation requirements, and hospital admission and discharge rate than saline placebo.
The study is a randomized, controlled trial, designed to test the efficacy and safety of a new medical device, the NovoTTF-100A. The device is an experimental, portable, battery operated device for chronic treatment of patients with recurrent or progressive glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) using alternating electric fields (termed TTFields).
The study is designed to show that everolimus initiation together with reduction and thereafter discontinuation of calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) will improve significantly renal function in de novo liver transplant recipients as compared to continuation of CNI-based treatment.
This study is in patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis(SAR)and will compare the effect versus placebo of repeat doses of intranasal GSK256066 using the Vienna Challenge Chamber. GSK256066 is a potent and highly selective phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE4) inhibitor, currently in development by GSK for the treatment of allergic rhinitis, asthma and COPD. Subjects will be selected on the basis that they display a defined moderate response to the pre-determined dose used. Opportunity to assess the efficacy of compounds versus placebo at maximal and trough plasma concentrations. This study aims to explore the actions of repeat doses of intranasal GSK256066 in patients with Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis in the Vienna Challenge Chamber compared to placebo. 12-lead ECG, vital signs and adverse event enquiries will be made throughout the study. Nasal examination, symptom scores (TNSS), nasal lavage, nasal scrape and allergen challenge assessments will also be performed at various time points throughout the study.
In spite of success in the management of heart failure, repetitive rehospitalisation and high mortality rate remain a serious problem. Recent studies, especially the COMPANION trial, have demonstrated that cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) reduces mortality and rehospitalisation in heart failure patients. There is also evidence that telemonitoring of heart failure patients potentially reduces both mortality and morbidity. Recently, a Home Monitoring (HM) function has been integrated into BIOTRONIK CRT-defibrillators and CRT-pacemakers with a view of harnessing the powerful combination of CRT with close remote monitoring of heart failure patients. It is possible now to transmit predefined parameters on a daily basis from the implanted devices to a web-based platform accessible by patients' physicians. Our study evaluates clinical usefulness of Biotronik HM function in CRT-defibrillators and CRT-pacemakers.
The purpose of the study is to compare the effects of recombinant factor VIIa (NovoSeven) on restoring coagulation activation between patients with hemophilia A and antibodies to factor VIII and normal subjects (controls) by use of an in vivo method.
In a prospective, randomized, double-blind trial, the effects of two different dosages of LMWH (5000 anti-Xa U od sc and 10 000 anti-Xa U od sc daily) on markers of hemostatic system and thrombin generation will be investigated in non-surgical cancer patients will be investigated.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate Thalidomide for treatment of disseminated MALT Lymphoma or at relapse following helicobacter pylori (HP) - eradication or chemotherapy or radiation.
This is a study to evaluate the effectiveness of erlotinib compared with a placebo sugar pill following complete surgical removal of the tumor with or without chemotherapy after surgery in Stage IB-IIIA NSCLC patients.
Compare the effectiveness of telaprevir (VX-950) in combination with Pegylated Interferon Alfa 2a (Peg-IFN-alfa-2a) with and without Ribavirin (RBV) in reducing plasma hepatitis C virus (HCV) ribonucleic acid (RNA) levels
