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.
An international consortium of leading medical experts in the field of chronic respiratory disease, the research team of Galenus Health and the non-profit organization EUFOREA (European Forum for Research and Education in Allergy and Airway diseases) has been conceived to conduct real-life outcome research. The Galenus Health digital platform consisting of a mobile application for patients and an online dashboard for physicians will be implemented in each of the participating centres. The data will be centralized in a pseudonymized database and will be the basis of the Chronic RhinoSinusitis Outcome Registry.
The principal aim is to analyze total left and right ventricular activation time in different CRT device programming algorithms (SyncAV) measured by non-invasive electrophysiology
The aim of the regional online questionnaire is to better understand the pattern of acute infection and the time of recovery of various symptoms.
The objective of this study is to compare surgical outcomes between patients who underwent valve replacement with and without the help of the automated annular suturing technology. In addition, data of the early and intermediate postoperative period will be collected within routine clinical follow-up in order to assess morbidity and mortality as well as echocardiographic parameters.
The purpose of study is to compare bladder intact-event free survival (BI-EFS) in participants receiving TAR-200 in combination with intravenous (IV) cetrelimab versus concurrent chemoradiotherapy.
Study WR42221 is a Phase IIIb, global, multicenter, randomized, visual assessor-masked study designed to assess the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of the Port Delivery System with ranibizumab (PDS) 100 mg/mL delivered every 36 weeks (Q36W) compared with every 24 weeks (Q24W) in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD).
Elderly Patients often suffer from radius fracture. Treatment options are conservative and operative. Aim of the stdy is to find out if there are diffrences in Patient's satisfaction depending on the different treatment. A randomized prospective trial is palnned
The aim of this study is to investigate the underlying inflammatory profile in patients with chronic lung disease and determine the association pulmonary hypertension.
Lung cancer is the second most common cancer in Austria with 2.868 men and 2.009 women diagnosed in 2016. Reflecting the high mortality of this disease, 2.415 men and 1.534 women died from lung cancer. Therefore, lung cancer is the most common reason for cancer associated death in men and second most common reason in women. This malignant disease can be divided into two main groups: small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). NSCLC is a paradigm for personalized medicine, with an increasing number of targetable gene alterations. Despite this growing diversity of molecular subtypes, in most patients no targetable mutation can be detected. For these patients check-point inhibitors with or without chemotherapy is the mainstay of the initial tumor therapy. Until recently, little progress has been made in the treatment of SCLC in last decades. Recently, an overall survival benefit by the addition of an immune-checkpoint inhibitor to first-line chemotherapy for advanced SCLC has been reported. Despite the progress in the treatment of NSCLC, the performance of predictive biomarkers is weak. Therefore, the development of more precise prediction models is of great importance for the progress of personalized treatment strategies.
Nimodipine reduces the risk of poor outcome and delayed cerebral ischemia in patients suffering aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH), but its mode of action is unknown. Its beneficial effect is assumed to be due its neuroprotective effects by reducing intracellular calcium and thereby cellular apoptosis, but higher concentrations might induce marked systemic hypotension, thereby inducing cerebral ischemia. Since several dosing regimes and routes of administration with inconclusive superiority exist and since the target site concentration of nimodipine - the unbound drug concentrations beyond the blood-brain barrier - is still not known, it is reasonable to measure nimodipine concentrations within the blood, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and interstitial brain tissue following oral, intra-venous and intra-arterial administration and correlate intra-arterial nimodipine administration to measures of cerebral metabolism and oxygenation. Therefore, the investigators propose to investigate in 30 patients suffering severe aneurysmal SAH and requiring cerebral microdialysis for cerebral neurochemical monitoring: - the ability of nimodipine to penetrate into the brain of neurointensive care patients by comparing exposure in brain, CSF and plasma, dependent on the route of administration (i.e. oral, intra-venous, and intra-arterial) and dosing intra-venously (0.5 - 2mg/h) - the impact of orally, intra-venously, and intra-arterially delivered nimodipine on cerebral metabolism, i.e. lactate/pyruvate ratio, pbtO2 and transcranial doppler flow velocities - the effect of oral and intra-venous nimodipine on systemic hemodynamic and cardiac parameters, using continuous Pulse Contour Cardiac Output (PiCCO) monitoring - the penetration properties of ethanol - as an excipient of nimodipine infusion - into the brain by comparing exposure in brain, CSF and plasma and quantifying the neuronal exposure to alcohol dependent on blood levels
