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 CELC200A2401 study has been designed in order to evaluate the hypothesis that administering the combination carbidopa/levodopa/entacapone at the time that levodopa therapy is initiated results in a decrease in the risk of the development of motor complications for patients with Parkinson's disease.
The goal of this research study is to evaluate the effectiveness, tolerability and safety of rivastigmine capsules in males and females between the ages of 50 and 85 years old with probable vascular dementia.
The study is designed to evaluate whether Neoral dose optimization together with a therapeutic drug monitoring of Certican will prevent renal dysfunction as observed in the pivotal cardiac trial while maintaining the efficacy. This objective will be assessed by comparing renal function post-transplant between 2 groups of patients.
This study is a test of the safety and effectiveness of two drugs, one for diabetes and one for hypertension, in keeping patients with high lab values of glucose from progressing to frank diabetes and developing cardiovascular complications. People in this study cannot have frank diabetes but are considered "borderline" based on blood tests. People in the study take none, one or both of the drugs and do not know which one(s) they are taking.
The VITATOPS study is a multi-center, randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled secondary stroke prevention trial to determine whether the addition of vitamin supplements (B12 500 ug, B6 25 mg, Folate 2 mg) to best medical/surgical management (including modification of risk factors) will reduce the combined incidence of recurrent vascular events (stroke, myocardial infarction) and vascular death in patients with recent stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA). All patients presenting to one of the participating neurologists or general physicians within seven months of stroke (ischemic or hemorrhagic) or TIA (eye or brain) are eligible for this trial. Eligible patients will be randomized in a double-blind fashion to receive multi-vitamins or placebo, 1 tablet daily. The primary outcome event is the composite event "stroke, myocardial infarction, or death from any vascular cause", whichever occurs first. Our target is to recruit a total of 8,000 patients over the next two years with a median follow-up of 2.5 years. Recruitment to the trial began in November 1998 and is planned to continue until December 2005. We aim to complete final follow-up by the end of 2006. However, the Steering Committee will be flexible in dictating the need for ongoing recruitment and continuing follow-up, depending on the overall rate of the primary outcome event in the entire cohort at each interim analysis.
The primary purpose of the clinical research study is to assess the safety of treating children and juvenile subjects with BMS-188667 (Abatacept). In addition, the study will assess the effectiveness of BMS-188667 in reducing disease activity of Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis (JRA) or Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) as measured by the time to occurrence of disease flare.
The purpose of this clinical research study is to learn whether a muraglitazar-metformin combination is at least as effective as a glimepiride-metformin combination to treat type 2 diabetics who are not sufficiently controlled with metformin alone. The safety of this treatment will also be studied.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether treatment with etoposide, doxorubicin, cisplatin and mitotane (EDP/M) prolongs survival as compared to streptozotocin and mitotane (Sz/M) in patients with advanced adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) whose disease is not amenable to complete surgical resection.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of three different treatments for patients with Crohns disease who have not responded to previous treatment with a group of drugs commonly used to treat Crohn's Disease (5-ASA) and corticosteroids. Patients will receive either infliximab (a drug used to treat autoimmune diseases) or azathioprine (an immunosuppressant or drug used to suppress the immune system) or a combination of both for up to 34 weeks. This research study will involve approximately 500 patients. The main study involves up to 34 weeks (approximately 8 months). A study extension of an additional 20 weeks (approximately 5 months) is optional for patients who successfully complete the main study. A country-specific study extension of open label infliximab treatment for an additional 1 year is optional for patients who successfully complete the main study extension.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate fulvestrant in the preliminary stage of breast cancer treatment and assess the relationship between dose, exposure, degree of reduction in tumor markers, and efficacy in postmenopausal women with estrogen receptor positive disease.
