There are about 6881 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 this study is to evaluate the efficacy of lepodisiran in reducing cardiovascular risk in participants with high lipoprotein(a) who have cardiovascular disease or are at risk of a heart attack or stroke. The study drug will be administered subcutaneously (SC) (under the skin).
Background: Gender affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) leads to profound changes in sex hormone levels, carrying a wide range of implications for major physiological processes in the body. GAHT has been shown to be associated with changes in cardiovascular parameters, the insulin system, body composition, and the psychological state. However, despite the fact that GAHT is usually a long-term intervention, the majority of the research concerns itself with an overall short duration of the therapy and the data on the mid- to long-term effects of GAHT is scarce. Objectives: The study aims to investigate the effects of gender affirming hormone therapy on the cardiovascular risk profile, insulin system, body composition, various metabolic parameters, and the psychological state after 2, 5, and 10 years of the treatment. Study design: The study is designed as an observational longitudinal monocentric study, which includes transgender men and transgender women who have been taking gender affirming hormone therapy during the past 2 years and took part in our pilot study. Our probands will undergo a magnetic resonance scan, extensive bloodwork, an oral glucose tolerance test, and a psychological self-assessment after 2, 5, and 10 years of the treatment. Materials and methods: The magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy will be performed with a 3-Tesla magnetic resonance device. We will also perform an extensive blood analysis and an 75g- 2h oral glucose tolerance test. Additionally, the psychological state of the probands will be assessed with 3 questionnaires. Study population: 30 transgender men 30 transgender women who participated in our pilot study and have been taking the gender affirming hormone therapy for the past 2 years. Relevance and implications of the study: The majority of previous research has focused on the short-term effects of gender affirming hormone therapy. Contrastingly, our study aims to focus on the effects of hormone therapy at 2, 5 and 10 years after the beginning of the treatment. Moreover, our study group utilizes measurements of myocardial, hepatic, and pancreatic fat content as well as an MR-assisted measurement of cardiac function, which is a topic that has not been present in research into the effects of gender affirming hormone therapy outside of our pilot study.
The primary objective of this study to evaluate the efficacy of ravulizumab compared with placebo to reduce proteinuria and slow the rate of eGFR decline in adult participants with IgAN who are at risk of disease progression.
The study will investigate the safety of once weekly insulin icodec subcutaenously (s.c.) during and after exercise and prolonged fasting in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Participants will first receive insulin decludec (Tresiba®, a long-acting insulin taken once daily) for atleast one week. Afterwards participants will receive insulin icodec that will be administered once weekly at the study site (for a minimum of 7 weeks and maximum of 14 weeks). Insulin icodec is a novel long-acting insulin analogue for once-weekly administration for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. The study will last for about 16-30 weeks. Participant must not participate if participant have suspected hypersensitivity reactions to the study products or cardiovascular diseases within the last 180 days. Female participant cannot take part if she is pregnant, breast-feeding or planning to become pregnant during the study period.
The aim of the present study is to determine if a regular oral supplementation of xanthohumol attenuate the severity of symptoms and duration of´viral infections.
The aim of the present study is to determine the effect of Iso-alpha-Acids and Xanthohumol from hops on the immune response of healthy participants over a timeframe of 6 hours.
The progress of uveal melanoma is typically monitored with sonography by experienced onco-ophthalmologists. However, there is evidence that twodimensional measurements in color fundus photography match precisely with sonography measurements. This study aims to compare sonography and color fundus photography measurements in order to evaluate the feasibility of monitoring of uveal melanoma with color fundus photography.
This study will evaluate the effect of triple ICS/LAMA/LABA therapy with BGF MDI 320/14.4/9.6 μg on cardiopulmonary outcomes relative to LAMA/LABA therapy with GFF MDI 14.4/9.6 μg in a population with COPD and elevated cardiopulmonary risk.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare Robotic Assisted, functionally aligned vs Custom Made Total Knee Arthroplasty in patients with knee osteoarthritis. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Which implant/philosophy yields better clinical outcomes? - Which implant/philosophy yields better satisfaction? - Which system is more OR efficient? Participants will be followed for 2 years postoperatively.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the incidence and severity of retinopathy and opticopathy one year after treatment with hypofractionated stereotactic photon radiotherapy due to uveal melanoma. Patients will be imaged before radiation, as well as 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after radiation using sonography funds photography, optical coherence tomography angiography, oximeter and microperimetry.
