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 purpose of this study is to evaluate the incidence and severity of retinopathy and opticopathy one year after treatment with hypofractionated stereotactic photon radiotherapy due to uveal melanoma. Patients will be imaged before radiation, as well as 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after radiation using sonography funds photography, optical coherence tomography angiography, oximeter and microperimetry.
This double-blinded proof-of-concept study is proposed to explore the effects of fecal microbiota transfer (FMT) in human subjects. Here we perform FMTs into obese recipients using stool from lean unoperated donors and from previously obese patients after successfull treatment with bariatric Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) surgery. Obese patients treated with their own material (autologous FMT) serve as controls. After FMT treatment the functional impact of post-surgery microbiome changes on host energy consumption and regulation of blood glucose levels will be analysed. Additionally the variations on the microbiota and metabolite composition will be profiled using extensive sequencing analyses. The major aim of the study is to explore the scientific rationale for targeted gut microbiota modulation in management of obesity and related metabolic diseases.We estimate the transfer of microbiota from RYGB donors is superior to the transfer of lean microbiota at inducing reduced adiposity and improving high blood glucose levels in obese recipients. Each is better than a sham procedure (autologous FMT), which itself can also induce considerable short-term effects.
The aim of this study is to investigate the association between increased lifetime physical activity and the development of wild-type transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy.
Prospective single-center phase II study to evaluate the PSA, imaging and pathological response, as well as oncological outcomes of systemic radioligand therapy [177Lu]Lu-PSMAI&T (PSMA-RLT) in patients planned for radical prostatectomy (RP) for oligometastatic prostate cancer (PCa) diagnosed using [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET examination. Ten patients with oligometastatic primary PCa diagnosed using [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET-CT/MRI imaging will be included in this study.
Primary objective: To determine whether pregnancy increases the risk of recurrent CeAD and delayed stroke in women with prior CeAD based on long-term data. Methods: Multicentric, observational case-control study based on pooled individual patient data from several stroke centers. Primary endpoint: Primary composite outcome measure includes the following outcomes: (i) occurrence of recurrent CeAD, (ii) occurrence of ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke, (iii) death.
The primary goal of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety and pharmacodynamic effects of PTC518 in participants with HD.
For until very recently CLL has been considered an uncurable disease, with the only few exceptions of a part of patients capable of undergoing and successfully standing allogeneic stem cell transplant. However, the introduction of chemoimmunotherapy in particular the FCR (fludarabine, cyclophosphamide, rituximab) regimen has established a relevant population of IgVH mutated patients, who remain relapse-free for up to 10 years with a clear plateau at this level. However, for the largest proportion of all CLL patients the disease is still associated with a reduction in life expectancy as compared to a matched population. The field has made further substantial progress by the introduction of BTK inhibitors and Bcl2 inhibitors, novel antibodies as well as by the understanding of the role of minimal residual disease (MRD), mutations and their clonal evolution over time as risk factors and factors governing the kind and duration of therapy. Due to the limited follow up of frontline therapy trials using novel drugs, it is not yet clear, what the long-term results with many of the new drugs will be. Particularly, long-term PFS, the potential for cure and the long-term safety issues remain relevant parameters requiring examination, as are infections, interactions with other drugs or quality of life issues. CLL has not been systematically assessed in Austria to date. This medical registry of the AGMT is thus the first Austrian-wide standardized documentation of this disease.
Ambispective post-market data collection on visual symptoms, patient satisfaction and surgeon experience with the TECNIS PC IOL.
The goal of this prospective observational study is to investigate the feasibility of using doppler point-of-care ultrasound on the femoral artery with a portable device to assess the presence of a pulse in patients suffering from cardiac arrest in the out-of-hospital environment. The main question is how often researchers are successful in acquiring the necessary ultrasound signal in the out-of-hospital environment.
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a chronic compression of the median nerve, which can lead to symptoms such as nocturnal pain and paresthesia in the area innervated by the median nerve. The affected patients also describe discomfort and hypoesthesia in the nerve supply area. Due to the COVID (Coronavirus disease) pandemic, CTS operations have been postponed and delayed. A promising and safe alternative for improving CTS-related symptoms appears to be non-invasive, non-thermal low-level-laser therapy. As a possible conservative, alternative method, low-level-laser therapy has the potential to enable patients with CTS to improve their disease-related symptoms or at least to alleviate the symptoms until the indicated CTS operation (carpal tunnel release). The aim of this randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial is to investigate the influence of 3 weeks of low-level-laser therapy on the symptoms typical of CTS in patients with surgery-indicated carpal tunnel syndrome and its influence on quality of life.
