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.
This is a Phase II, Randomized, Blinded, Sham Procedure-Controlled, Parallel-Group Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of LYR-210 in Adult Subjects with Chronic Sinusitis.
In an avalanche burial with an air pocket hypercapnia (and hypoxia) develops within few minutes, hypercapnia increases the rate of cooling and therefore the development of hypothermia. The Triple H Syndrome (Hypoxia, Hypercapnia, Hypothermia) occurs. This specific combination of the three parameters is unique for avalanche burial with an air pocket. Every single parameter has a substantial effect on the hemoglobin-oxygen dissociation curve, but until now no study described the combination of these three parameters. This curve will be measured under these specific conditions in a specifically developed in vitro model, to quantify its shifts and to show if there are combined effects of pCO2 and temperature. The newly developed method will be validated in comparison with an established method. The project will be performed with whole blood, drawn by healthy volunteers, in an experimental setting. The samples will be blinded to the investigator and analyzed in a randomized manner.
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication in critically ill patients. Based on the sensitive KDIGO criteria, the incidence of AKI on ICU varies between 30-60 %. These large variations of incidence of AKI are due to different baseline characteristics of studied patients, the length of observation period, use of creatinine criteria only or use of creatinine and urine output criteria. Furthermore, back estimation of baseline creatinine instead of measured creatinine in patients with missing laboratory values may lead to overestimation of AKI severity and outcomes. Major surgery, trauma, infection, sepsis or a complication of severe illness can lead to an abrupt decrease in glomerular filtration in critically ill patients. Such episode of AKI is associated with short term adverse effects such as fluid overload, electrolyte imbalance, acid-base derangements, immune dysfunction, coagulation abnormalities and alterations in mental status. Additionally, AKI in critically ill patients leads to prolonged ICU length of stay, increase in morbidity and mortality as well as higher costs. Multiple large studies found, after correction for potential confounders, that AKI was independently associated with worse outcomes. Moderate and severe AKI stages were associated with 2.9 - 6.9 fold increased in-hospital mortality (3). Increasing AKI severity in ICU patients was not only associated with increased mortality, AKI patients had also worse renal function at the time of hospital discharge. The individual condition leading to AKI in combination with increased susceptibility to AKI may significantly influence outcome. Indeed, current data from many studies show that mortality from AKI differs in various clinical settings. However, there are not enough data on different types of surgery and their effect on AKI yet. The aim of our epidemiological study is to investigate the occurrence and outcomes of AKI in different types of surgery in postoperative ICU patients at the Vienna General Hospital.
The main objective of the trial is to assess the efficacy of the CT LUCIA 611P intraocular lens (IOL) with regard to the horizontal IOL position stability. The horizontal position collected at 1 month and 4 to 6 months post-operatively will be compared to the horizontal IOL position recorded at baseline (1 week post-operatively) as well as to the position stability of the reference IOL, CT ASPHINA 409MP.
This study is designed to investigate, at first, safety and tolerability of a novel liquid vaccine formulation named MV-ZIKA-RSP, in healthy adults aged 18 to 55 years
This study looks into how the type 2 diabetes medicine, semaglutide, can prevent risk of heart disease complications and stroke. Participants will either get semaglutide or placebo ("dummy" medicine) - which treatment is decided by chance. Semaglutide is a new medicine to treat type 2 diabetes and can be prescribed by doctors in some countries. The study medicine will be in a pen, and must be injected with a needle in the stomach, thigh or upper arm once a week. The study will last for 57-63 weeks. Participants will have 10 clinic visits with the study doctor, 5 visits to the specialised clinic for imaging and at least 1 phone contact. Participants' health will be monitored carefully and blood samples will therefore be taken at the clinic visits. Women cannot take part if pregnant, breast-feeding or planning to become pregnant during the study period.
Aim of the study is to specify the best analgosedation technique during placement of regional anaesthesia from the patients' view. In this double blind randomized trial the investigators will be testing the application of drugs administered intravenously (fentanyl-bolus, remifentanil-infusion, clonidine-bolus) or transcutaneously (EMLA salve) or placebo (NaCl 0,9% i.v. and skin protection salve).
Aim of the study is an examination whether a modified perioperative pain management system, that integrates the 2017 European Society of Anaesthesiology (ESA) guidelines for treatment of postoperative Delirium, can improve patient's wellbeing in comparison to the current certified standard management.
This study is a post-market clinical follow-up (PMCF) study to identify and evaluate residual risks associated with the use of the BIOMONITOR III and BIOMONITOR IIIm that are discovered or remain even after risk analysis, risk mitigation and successful conformity assessment. Furthermore, this study will also provide additional data as required by regulatory authorities outside of the CE-region.
The aim of the present study is to determine the effect of dietary fiber on intestinal function in healthy subjects.
