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.
Primary objective: To determine the effect of Rimonabant 20mg on the co-primary endpoint including Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG), HDL-Cholesterol (HDL-C) and triglyceride (TG) levels over a period of 12 months when prescribed with a mild hypocaloric diet in abdominally obese patients with impaired fasting blood glucose and with or without associated comorbidities. Main Secondary objectives: To determine the effect of 12 months Rimonabant treatment versus placebo on changes in waist circumference (WC), body weight, glycemic parameters and lipid parameters. To assess the safety of 12 months Rimonabant treatment versus placebo in these patients.
This is a randomized (1:1), open-label, multicenter, active-controlled study in patients with previously treated CD23+ and CD20+ relapsed CLL. Patients will receive treatment with either lumiliximab in combination with FCR or FCR alone.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of siltuximab administered in combination with mitoxantrone and prednisone in participants with metastatic (spread of cancer cells from one part of the body to another) hormone-refractory (not responding to treatment) prostate cancer (abnormal tissue that grows and spreads in the body) (HRPC).
The study is designed to compare the efficacy and safety of 2 treatment types for the prevention of tumor recurrence of superficial bladder cancer: 1. A combination of bladder wall heating and local chemotherapy (Synergo) 2. Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG)
Background: Standard therapy is ill-defined for patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) suffering from the membraneous form of Lupus nephritis (WHO class V). Therapeutic options used at present include azathioprine. In a small, open label safety study, patients with lupus nephritis, including patients with membraneous lupus nephritis, have experienced a long-lasting therapeutic response, with sustained reduction in proteinuria, following a 10 weeks course of 4 infusions of infliximab in combination with azathioprine. This short course appeared safe with regard to SLE activity, despite increases in autoantibody levels. Study hypothesis: 1. The combination of four infusions of infliximab (5 mg/kg of body weight)administered at weeks 0, 2,6, and 10, with azathioprine will be faster than azathioprine alone in reducing proteinuria to less than 1.5 g/day in patients with active lupus nephritis WHO class V (proteinuria > 3g/day). 2. This combination therapy will show a tolerable safety profile with regard to SLE activity and infections.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness and safety of the drug GSK189254 in treating patients with narcolepsy.
To compare efficacy and safety of Exubera® vs Humalog in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus
To assess the effects of visilizumab on the safety of subsequent salvage therapies in subjects who experienced disease progression in a previous visilizumab study and subsequently received salvage therapy.
This trial is conducted in Europe. The aim of this research study is to compare the efficacy of adding inhaled preprandial insulin to metformin compared to adding rosiglitazone to metformin for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and to verify its safety (hypoglycaemia, pulmonary function, body weight, insulin antibodies and side effects).
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of adjunctive treatment of pregabalin with [S,S]-Reboxetine against pregabalin monotherapy in patients with PHN
