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 main purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the study drug LY900014 compared to insulin lispro, both in combination with insulin glargine or insulin degludec, in adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D).
The major issue for a person who has suffered a stroke is the severe impairment affecting the hand and the high risk to have a poor recovery associated. Innovative approaches are needed in the next future, translating recent advances from neuro-engineering, into feasible devices for rehabilitation care. The FP7-EU project MYOSENS aims to translate known motor control logic from sEMG prosthetic control, to rehabilitation robotics. The target is to promote the closing of sensory-motor loop on the basis of intention to move, as detected from residual sEMG (i.e. Extensor Digitorum Communis, Flexor Digitorum Profundus).
Systemic inflammation is a potentially debilitating complication of thoracic surgeries that can result in significant physical and economic morbidity for afflicted patients. There is compelling evidence for the role of central nervous system in the regulation of systemic inflammatory responses through humoral mechanisms. Activation of afferent vagus nerve fibers by cytokines triggers anti-inflammatory responses. Direct electrical stimulation of the peripheral vagus nerve in vivo during lethal endotoxemia in rats inhibited Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) synthesis in liver preventing the development of shock. The vagal regulatory role of systemic inflammation after lung lobectomy is unknown.
Studies have shown that ocular surface disease (OSD) is common among patients with glaucoma with a prevalence of 50% or more. The percentage of affected patients appears to increase with increasing number of topical anti-glaucoma products instilled. Both pre-clinical and clinical work has indicated that the preservatives used in anti-glaucoma drops, particularly benzalkonium chloride, are mainly responsible for this detrimental effect. As such more and more anti-glaucoma drugs without preservatives entered the market. To prove that switching from preserved to unpreserved antiglaucoma medication improves the signs and symptom of OSD is, however, not easy. This is on the one hand related to the physiological variability of these parameters over time and on the other hand to the poor association between signs and symptoms. Recently, a new method for measuring tear film thickness (TFT) using ultra-high resolution optical coherence tomography (OCT) has been introduced. Using this method, it has been shown that there is a correlation between reduced TFT and OSD symptoms. In the present study, it is hypothesized that changing patients who are on preserved prostaglandin formulations to preservative free tafluprost may be associated with an increase in TFT.
In the present study glucose metabolism and ectopic lipids in the liver, heart and muscle were investigated in women with the polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and in healthy control subjects.
To conduct a prospective, observational study to evaluate the non-interventional feasibility of using heart sounds measurements recorded by the LifeVest® Wearable Cardioverter Defibrillator (WCD) for monitoring clinical evidence of heart failure decompensation.
This study will evaluate the long-term safety, tolerability, and durability of treatment effect of ALKS 3831 in subjects with schizophrenia, schizophreniform disorder, or bipolar I disorder
The main purpose of this study was to assess the progression-free survival (PFS) based on local investigator assessment of pazopanib in participants with advanced and/or metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) following prior treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI).
The study addresses the safety, utilisation and effectiveness of Obizur in the treatment of bleeding episodes in real-life clinical practice in Europe and the United States.
This trial is conducted in Africa, Asia, Europe and North America. The aim of the trial is to assess the efficacy of concizumab administered s.c. (subcutaneously, under the skin) once daily in preventing bleeding episodes in haemophilia A and B patients with inhibitors.
