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 will be randomised to receive either placebo or the study drug for a period of 30 weeks, in addition to their standard Parkinsonian medications. During the first 8 weeks, the patient's levodopa doses may be adjusted if necessary by the investigator. For the remainder of the 22 weeks, all medications should be kept stable. Patients will be required to attend the clinic twice during the screening period and then a further 8 times during the treatment period. They will be required to complete home diaries where they will record their motor function. In addition, their doctor will assess their Parkinson's disease during the clinic visits. There will also be blood draws for safety and pharmacokinetic and pharmacogenomics evaluation. Following the treatment and assessment period, they will return to the clinic one month later for follow up.
This is an open -label randomized phase II study of dose-dense Fluorouracil/Epirubicin/Cyclophosphamide (FEC) administered with Epirubicin of 75mg/m2 (FEC75) and Epirubicin 90mg/m2 (FEC90) in untreated patients with early breast cancer.
In Patients with metastatic colorectal cancer the following treatments first-line Folfiri+Cetuximab first-line Folfox6 + Cetuximab will be concerning efficacy and safety. The trial compares Folfiri + Cetuximab and Folfox6 + Cetuximab concerning efficacy and safety as first
The purpose of this study is to investigate putative ethnic differences in the proinflammatory response in human endotoxemia.
The purpose of this study was to determine the safety and effectiveness of different doses of botulinum toxin Type A in treating lower urinary tract symptoms due to benign prostatic hyperplasia.
This trial is conducted in Europe and the United States of America (USA). The aim of the trial is to test if Insulin Detemir as add-on to current Oral Antidiabetic Drug treatment is at least as effective as Insulin Glargine as add-on to current Oral Antidiabetic Drug treatment in reducing HbA1c in patients with Type 2 Diabetes.
This is a prospective, multicenter, open-label, randomized phase III study in participants at high risk of recurrent prostate cancer after radical prostatectomy. The study will investigate - Treatment with docetaxel (TAXOTERE®) every three weeks (q3w) plus leuprolide acetate (ELIGARD®) versus leuprolide acetate alone (ELIGARD®) - Immediate treatment following prostatectomy versus deferred treatment at the time of relapse Using a 2x2 factorial design participants will therefore be randomized to - Immediate adjuvant treatment with docetaxel plus leuprolide acetate (chemotherapy and hormonal therapy) - Immediate adjuvant treatment with leuprolide acetate alone (hormonal therapy) - Deferred treatment with docetaxel plus leuprolide acetate (chemotherapy and hormonal therapy) - Deferred treatment with leuprolide acetate alone (hormonal therapy) Primary Objective: - The primary objective of the study is to compare progression-free survival using a 2x2 factorial design Secondary Objectives: - To compare the 5-year overall, cancer-specific and metastasis-free survival after systemic treatment between the groups - To compare the safety and tolerability between Docetaxel in combination with leuprolide acetate and leuprolide acetate alone. - To evaluate quality of life as measured by the FACT-P questionnaire. Originally, 1696 participants were planned in the study (with 424 participants randomized to each arm). However, only a total of 211 participants completed the randomization procedure as of 26 September 2007. Thus, sanofi-aventis, in accordance with the Steering Committee, decided to stop the participant recruitment as of 26 September 2007. Participants who had already signed their Informed Consent (IC) before September 26, 2007 were allowed to enter the randomization if they met eligibility criteria. The final revised number of planned participants to be randomly assigned to the 4 treatment arms was 250, and 228 participants were actually randomized. The final sample size did not allow all the statistical analyses to be conducted on efficacy data. Therefore, the protocol was amended to reflect the change in the plans for statistical analysis. The study was underpowered to serve as the basis for drawing conclusions regarding efficacy and quality of life (QoL) endpoints.
This randomized phase III trial is studying fludarabine, cyclophosphamide, and rituximab to see how well they work compared to fludarabine and cyclophosphamide in treating patients with B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
Minimal invasive treatment (called "endovascular") of the arteries of the lower limb remains problematic, because recurrent disease ("restenosis") frequently leads to recurrent symptoms. As yet, balloon angioplasty remains the recommended strategy to revascularize the superficial femoral artery (artery of the thigh). We investigated whether the use of a vascular endoprosthesis ("stent") improves patients´ outcome. Study hypothesis: Primary stenting with self expanding nitinol stents may improve patency after endovascular treatment of superficial femoral artery obstructions compared to balloon angioplasty with optional stenting.
Penetration of cefpirome and moxifloaxacin into abscess fluid of humans will be tested. Patients with an abscess scheduled for drainage will receive study drugs (single or multiple dose), pus samples and plasma samples will be collected and analyzed by High pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC). Pharmacokinetics of the study drugs in pus and plasma will be determined using a pharmacokinetic model.
