There are about 6888 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.
This is a phase 1, safety and PK Open-Label trial evaluating the plasma, epithelial lining fluid, and alveolar macrophage concentrations of intravenous Minocin® (Minocycline) for injection in healthy adult subjects.
The diagnosis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is currently one of the most common diagnoses for patients under evaluation for lung transplantation. In recent years, an absolute increase in prevalence/ incidence of IPF has been observed. There is evidence that patients with IPF on waiting list for lung transplantation might benefit from pirfenidone treatment. Until now, no data are published regarding this important issue in lung transplantation. Primary objective is to determine whether there is a difference in the duration time of mechanical ventilation (weaning) directly after lung transplantation between patients treated with pirfenidone and patients without pirfenidone treatment. The Secondary objectives are to determine whether there are differences between the pirfenidone treatment group and the control group regarding survival after LUTX, the score on the Saint Georges Respiratory Questionnaire and the decline in forced vital capacity (FVC%) In this Investigator initiated, non- interventional single center study , patients on the waiting list for transplant pirfenidone treatment receive oral pirfenidone at the standard dose of 2403 mg per day. The treatment duration will range from 6 to 12 months. A control group will be used to correlate the outcome-parameters for a descriptive comparison. The control group includes patients with IPF on the waiting list who were on another IPF specific (or no) treatment for IPF The Study Population are Patients aged between 40-70 years who are admitted to the lung transplantation department and fulfill the international criteria for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis ( existence of a usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) pattern in the high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) is necessary). Variables: Duration of mechanical ventilation after LUTX (hours), Forced Vital capacity relative to reference value at baseline (FVC0%), Forced Vital capacity relative to reference value after 6 months (FVC6%),Forced Vital capacity relative to reference value after 12 months (FVC12%) Study Size: 30 patients in the Pirfenidone group, 20 patients in the control group. For the primary Endpoint, the mean, standard deviation, median, minimum and maximum of the weaning time of patients who received a pirfenidone treatment, as well as of patients from the control group will be computed and presented in a table. Additionally, a Kaplan-Meier curve will be estimated and plotted alongside the respective 95% CI calculated using the method of Brookmeyer and Crowley. Furthermore, a stepwise linear regression using forward selection and Age, RBMI, FVC0%, (FVC6%-FVC0%), TLC, FEV1% and ECMO, as well as the pirfenidone treatment as predictors will be computed. The null hypothesis is that the pirfenidone treatment has no influence on the weaning time. The according model coefficient estimate and standard error will be used to test the null hypothesis using a t-test at significance level α=0.05. For the secondary endpoints, the mean, standard deviation, median, minimum and maximum of patients who received a pirfenidone treatment, as well as of patients from the control group will be computed and presented in a tableStepwise Cox Regression using forward selection and Age, RBMI, FVC0%, (FVC6%-FVC0%) and ECMO, as well as the pirfenidone treatment as predictors will be computed in order to compare the treatment and the control group a . If p-values are calculated for the secondary endpoint analysis, they serve only descriptive purposes. Therefore no multiple testing corrections are applied.
This study investigates the effect of 4 different methods of rapid sequence induction (RSI) in morbidly obese patients on the amount of air insufflation into the stomach.
To investigate the safety and efficacy of abatacept with steroid treatment in comparison to steroid treatment alone in up to a 28 week taper of steroid treatment to sustain remission of Giant Cell Arteritis in adults.
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of a routine individualized antiplatelet therapy after coronary stent implantation by evaluating "on-treatment" platelet reactivity with Multiple Electrode Aggregometry (MEA, Multiplate® Analyzer). IDEAL-PCI Extended is the continuation of the IDEAL-PCI registry with additional focus on bleeding events and net clinical benefit
The purpose of study is to test the effect of an experimental medication GED-0301(mongersen) and evaluate its safety in patients (≥ 12 years of age) with active Crohn's disease. The study will test GED-0301 compare to placebo for 12 weeks. The study treatment is blinded which means that patients and the study doctor will not know which treatment has been assigned. Patients in this study will be allowed treatment with stable doses of oral aminosalicylates, oral corticosteroids, immunosupressants and antibiotics for the treatment of Crohn's disease. Adolescent patients will also be allowed treatment with stable doses of exclusive enteral nutrition and growth hormone. All patients who complete the study will have the option to enter a long term active treatment study.
Ascitic fluid microbiome is going to be investigated in this study by using internal transcripted spacer (ITS) and 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequencing as conventional culture methods are lacking sensitivity regarding diagnosis of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP). All patients with routinely performed ascitic fluid puncture and underlying liver cirrhosis are included in this study. Next generation sequencing (NGS) in ascitic fluid, skin swaps from puncture side and stool samples as well as conventional culture methods are performed to investigate the difference in the microbiome between patients with and without SBP.
Invasive infections with CMV and Adenovirus, not responding to virostatic treatment are treated with virusspecific donor derived or autologous virusspecific T-cells.
In end-stage renal disease (ESRD) cardiovascular and infectious complications are common. The gut microbiome might play an important pathophysiological role. ESRD is hypothesized to be associated with profound alterations of gut microbiome and gut permeability. The investigators aim to test whether a multispecies probiotic mixture is able to revert the microbiome changes and decrease gut permeability. Furthermore the investigators aim to test whether this improvement in microbiome composition and gut permeability is also associated with improvements in endotoxemia, uremia and cardiovascular risk factors.
Patients with hepatitis C show impaired neutrophil function. It is not known whether this is a direct of an indirect phenomenon. Using bone marrow biopsies from patients with hepatitis C it is possible to see whether neutrophil granulocyte progenitors are already infected with hepatitis C.
