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.
Safety and Performance Evaluation of Seraph 100 Microbind Affinity Blood Filter (Seraph 100) in the reduction of pathogen load from the blood in septic patients with suspected, life-threatening bloodstream infection
Venom immunotherapy (VIT) is an established treatment for Hymenoptera venom allergy and provides long-term protection from further generalized reactions in almost all patients. However, it is still unclear why bee VIT is less effective than vespid VIT. The preliminary data show that not only predominant Api m 10 sensitization but also other predominant sensitizations may be relevant as risk factors for treatment failure. Interestingly, all patients with a predominant Api m 10 sensitization who received bee VIT with a venom preparation with a supposed lack of Api m 10 tolerated sting challenges. Therefore, a multicenter study with a sufficient number of patients with treatment failure is urgently required, to clarify if predominant sensitization to a bee venom allergen is a risk factor for treatment failure. If predominant sensitization is a risk factor and caused by underrepresented components in bee venom preparations used for VIT, bee venom preparations may be optimized in the future and patients would benefit from a more effective VIT.
Fundus imaging has become an integral tool in retinal diagnosis. Although single-field fundus photography covers a vital region of the retina, it leaves a large portion of the periphery undiscovered. Ultra-wide-field imaging systems allowed for visualization of peripheral perfusion abnormalities in myopic eyes that were previously unknown. In Austria, there are two different wide-field imaging systems available. The first device on the market was the Optos (Optos PLC, Dunfermline, UK) and several years later the Clarus 500 (Carl Zeiss, Meditec AG, Jena, Germany) was introduced.
This is a non-interventional, multi-national, observational, prospective patient registry to further evaluate the effectiveness and safety of dinutuximab beta - a monoclonal immunoglobulin G 1 (IgG1) antibody, to obtain information on survival, pain severity and incidence of neuro-toxicity, visual impairment, capillary leak syndrome, cardiovascular events, hypersensitivity reactions and long-term safety.
The rapid mobilization of cardiac surgery patients within the first 48 postoperative hours in the intensive care unit is common practice and decisive for the outcome, especially in this group (over 65 years). If sitting on the edge of the bed was successful, a standing attempt is usually made. Both can be accompanied by blood pressure dysregulations in the sense of hypotensive phases as well as dizziness. Postural control is the ability of the body to balance an upright body position under the influence of gravity.The aim of the study is to investigate whether training with the Galileo device by means of vibration on the soles of the feet and / or by changing the position to 15 ° can improve the postural control and thus the postoperative mobilization of patients.
Gliomas are the most common malignant brain tumor. Glioblastoma, WHO grade IV astrocytoma, is the most common subtype and unfortunately also the most aggressive subtype with median survival in population based cohorts being only 10 months. Extensive surgical resections followed by postoperative fractioned radiotherapy and concomitant and adjuvant temozolomide prolong survival and is the standard treatment. The investigators think there is significant potential in individualized surgical decision-making in glioblastoma management. The idea that some patients are amendable to radical surgery, while others should be treated more conservatively, is not controversial in other fields of oncology. The current concept in all patients with glioblastoma is "maximum safe resection of the contrast enhancing tumor", but this may in selected cases be extended to simply "maximum safe resection" tailored to the patient and extent of disease at hand. Densely proliferating tumor cells have been found from at an average of 10 mm beyond the margins of contrast enhancement in high-grade gliomas. There are now several case series, using various definitions of supramarginal resection, but they have in common that they report a benefit of resection with a margin. This potential benefit also comes together with an associated neurological risk, making this approach unethical and simply not feasible in the patients with glioblastoma as a whole. Objective of this study is: To investigate if resection with a margin, that is significantly beyond the radiological contrast enhancement, improves survival in selected patients with glioblastoma.
The purpose of this observational, multi-center prospective, post-market registry is to confirm real-world device safety and performance, to ensure the continued acceptability of identified risks, and detect emerging risks.
A study to find out whether olaparib is safe and well tolerated when administered to children and adolescents with solid tumours.
The reason for this study is to determine the long-term efficacy and safety of the study drug mirikizumab in participants with Crohn's disease.
Primary objective of this open label, two-arm, multicenter, multinational, randomized trial is to compare anti-leukemic activity of allogeneic stem cell transplantation for patients with acute leukemia in complete remission between a 10/10 HLA matched unrelated donor and a haploidentical donor. The hypothesis: Haploidentical stem cell transplantation with post cyclophosphamide induces a stronger anti-leukemic activity in comparison to 10/10 HLA matched unrelated donor and reduces the risk of relapse at 2 years after stem cell transplantation by 10%.
