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.
A multi-centre, open-label, single-arm, dose-finding phase I/II study to evaluate safety, tolerability, dosing schedule, and preliminary efficacy of carrier-added 4-L-[131I]iodo-phenylalanine (131I-IPA), administered as single or repetitive injections in patients with recurrent glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), concomitantly to 2nd line external radiation therapy (XRT) - IPAX-1
Prevalence of aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD) is 16% amongst patients suffering from chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). The mechanisms underlying the observed dysregulation of pro and anti-inflammatory pathways in AERD are still not fully understood. To address this and also to identify potential factors characterizing the disease the investigators plan to prospectively collect blood samples, nasal secretions as well as nasal biopsies from allergic, non-allergic and AERD patients suffering from CRSwNP. Initially, polyps of aforementioned patients will be subjected to RNA sequencing analysis using microarray technology. Once distinct factors are identified in nasal polyp tissue, their presence will be assessed in nasal secretions and serum of the respective patients to investigate their potential role as biomarkers. Furthermore presence of these parameters will be confirmed in situ in biopsies by confocal microscopy. Knowledge about factors differently upregulated in polyp tissue from AERD may contribute to a better understanding of the underlying mechanism of the disease.
This is a one year observational field study investigating changes in sedentary behaviour and the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders of office workers induced by sit/stand workstations. All employees of an Austrian bank headquarter (approx. 1200 people) will be newly equipped with electric sit/stand workstations by their company in February and March 2019. The main outcomes will be occupational sitting and standing time as well as the occurence and intensity of neck and back pain.
This study will evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of RO7234292 (RG6042) in participants who have completed other F. Hoffmann-La Roche, Ltd.-sponsored and/or Genentech-sponsored studies in the Huntington's disease (HD) in the development program for RG6042.
This study involves a retrospective evaluation of brachial plexus anaesthesia in children and adolescents (patients under the age of 18) undergoing surgical procedures of the upper extremity following trauma. The investigators plan to recruit patients from our hospital patient database meeting our inclusion criteria. Observational period was defined between 1st of January 2002 and 31st of October 2018. Necessity to convert to general anaesthesia was defined as primary endpoint.
The optimal surgical approach in functional mitral regurgitation (MI) was questioned in favour for prosthetic replacement due to the reduced risk of recurrent MI . However, adjustable mitral rings may provide an alternative . In this first-in-man trial, a novel balloon-adjustable mitral-ring was assessed regarding clinical safety and feasibility. 5 patients will be enrolled according to the inclusion/ exclusion criteria and subsequently implanted with the study device. Study visits will be performed preoperatively, perioperatively, at discharge, at 30 days, 3 months and 6 months. Primary outcome parameter will be morbidity and mortality at 30 days following implantation.
The main purpose of this study is to determine the prevalence of ATTR Cardiomyopathy among patients admitted due to Left Ventricular Hypertrophy (LVH) >15mm of unknown etiology by using a 99mTc-tracer scintigraphy based protocol
Primary objective: • To evaluate the potential efficacy of safinamide 100 mg once daily (OD), compared with placebo, as add-on therapy for PD-related chronic pain Secondary objectives: - Percentage of pain responders - Clinical Global Impression for pain - Patient Global Impression for pain - Reduction in use of pain drugs - Mood - Motor and non-motor symptoms Safety Objectives: • Safety and tolerability
The conventional CRT-D system consists of 3 leads in patients with Heart Failure (HF). A part of HF patients have non-impaired sinus node function and will not be stimulated in the right atrium. The implantation of the right atrial lead, which is not mandatory in these patients, harbors potential complication risks and prolongs implantation procedure. The new CRT-DX system uses 2 leads only: a right ventricular lead extended with floating RA sending dipole and a left ventricular lead. The aim of the BIO|REDUCE study is to assess the residual safety and performance aspects of the CRT-DX system within 12 months follow-up in HF patients with an indication for a CRT-D, sinus rhythm, and no need for an atrial lead implantation.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of the combination of the polyadenosine 5'-diphosphoribose poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor olaparib and pembrolizumab in the treatment of participants with mCRPC who have failed to respond to either abiraterone acetate or enzalutamide (but not both) and to chemotherapy. The primary study hypotheses are that the combination of pembrolizumab plus olaparib is superior to abiraterone acetate or enzalutamide with respect to: 1. Overall Survival (OS) and 2. Radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) per Prostate Cancer Working Group (PCWG)-modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 as assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR) As of Amendment 06, the Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) is no longer applicable. Participants still on treatment may have the option to continue receiving study intervention or SOC if they are deriving clinical benefit, until criteria for discontinuation are met. Participants who are still on study treatment and deriving clinical benefit will no longer have tumor response assessments by BICR. However, local tumor imaging assessments should continue per SOC schedule. In addition, ePRO assessments will no longer be performed and biomarker samples will no longer be collected.
