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.
Weakness is a major cause of disability in stroke survivors. Rehabilitation techniques are often not effective in restoring full function of the upper limb. Specifically, many individuals remain with weakness in the hand, preventing its return to full use. Robotic therapies have been developed as exercise tools for stroke survivors. Devices, such as the InMotion2, have been shown to be useful in restoring some motor function in the upper limb. However, most existing devices designed to be used with the upper limb have primarily been developed to treat the shoulder, elbow and wrist. They have not specifically addressed hand function. Tyromotion, Inc. has developed the Amadeo, which is primarily intended to provide rehabilitation for patients with neurological or orthopedic deficits in hand function. Initial clinical testing has demonstrated the practicality of using this device in a population of stroke survivors, although further research is needed to better understand the usefulness of the Amadeo device as compared with conventional rehabilitation methods. The purpose of this study was to compare results of training with the Amadeo device or training with conventional therapies. A total of 28 subjects from two separate sites participated in the study and underwent baseline testing of upper limb motor and sensory performance and function. Subjects were then assigned to one of two treatment groups with a 50:50 chance of being in either group. One group underwent training with the Amadeo device and the other group underwent training with conventional therapy. All training sessions were 60 minutes in duration, three days/week for eight weeks (24 total sessions). Subjects were reassessed on completion of the training program.
In this study, participants will receive either intranasal anti-IgE-antibodies (n=5) or intranasal allergen (n=5) or intranasal placebo (n=5). Blood samples will be obtained before nasal administration of study drugs and 3, 5 and 8 weeks thereafter. In the serum samples, specific and total IgE levels will be assessed.
This study is designed as a multi-center prospective observational study of newly diagnosed Heart Failure (HF) patients to test the hypothesis that additional Ejection Fraction (EF) recovery occurs between 90 and 180 days as Guideline Directed Medical Therapy (GDMT) is achieved. Although the study doesn't start until day 90, all eligible, consenting patients will be entered into a registry at the start of wearable cardioverter defibrillator (WCD) use. The pre-study registry will allow us to collect early (90 day) outcomes and data in those patients who are likely to be eligible for the study at day 90, or are eligible, but refuse the study at day 90.
This Phase III, multicenter, randomized, open-label study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of atezolizumab (anti-programmed death-ligand 1 [anti-PD-L1] antibody) in combination with enzalutamide compared with enzalutamide alone in participants with mCRPC after failure of an androgen synthesis inhibitor (e.g., abiraterone) and failure of, ineligibility for, or refusal of a taxane regimen. Participants will be randomized to one of the two treatment arms (atezolizumab in combination with enzalutamide, and enzalutamide alone) in a 1:1 ratio (experimental to control arm) in global randomized phase. Participants will receive treatment until investigator-assessed confirmed radiographic disease progression per Prostate Cancer Working Group 3 (PCWG3) criteria or unacceptable toxicity.
Different enteral nutrition formulas are tested on their effect on glucose homeostasis in critically ill medical patients.
This is a single-center, prospective, open-label, controlled, randomized, cross-over study in 34 prevalent end-stage renal disease patients on chronic hemodialysis treatment with hyperphosphatemia.
Whereas there are several validated systems for reporting postoperative complications, there are only a few and not prospectively validated systems for reporting intraoperative complications. The investigators developed a definition and CLASSification for Intraoperative Complications CLASSIC within a Delphi study involving international interdisciplinary experts. As both surgery and anaesthesia may be involved in complications in the perioperative period, all patient-related intraoperative complications occurring between skin incision and closure are considered in this reporting system. CLASSIC was updated to ClassIntra® v1·0, by encompassing five severity grades to align with the validated Clavien-Dindo Classification for grading postoperative complications. The aim of this international multicentre observational cohort study is to assess the validity and practicability of this newly derived and updated classification system ClassIntra® in patient undergoing an in-hospital surgical procedure. Providing an easy applicable and internationally validated classification system is a contribution to improve quality of health care and patient safety.
AntibioTx is developping ATx201 as a topical product for treatment of skin infections, including infected atopic dermatitis.
In the present study, the investigators aim to evaluate the potential of oral probiotics, containing Lactobacillus strains, to eradicate and reduce the vaginal colonization with group B Streptococcus (GBS) during pregnancy. This could help to prevent neonatal morbidity and mortality by reducing the risk for neonatal sepsis, pneumonia, and meningitis, known as early-onset or late-onset GBS infection.
Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, abbreviated as NASH, is a chronic liver disease that may progress to cirrhosis. The disease is mostly associated with obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus, or insulin resistance and is very common. However, Treatment of NASH is a significant unmet clinical need. IVA337 (lanifibranor) is a next generation pan-PPAR (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors) agonist addressing the pathophysiology of NASH : metabolic, inflammatory and fibrotic. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the efficacy and the safety of two doses of IVA337 (800mg, 1200 mg) per day for 24 weeks versus placebo in adult NASH patients with liver steatosis and moderate to severe necroinflammation without cirrhosis.
