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.
SGLT2 antagonists and GLP1 agonists are used since a relatively short period as second line therapy if indicated and are well tolerated by patients featuring low risk of hypoglycaemia in comparison to insulin or other oral glucose lowering drug. This new treatment options offer an effective modality to lower blood glucose, if first line therapeutics fail. According to national and international guidelines combination of oral glucose lowering drugs is possible in multiple ways, but is currently not recommended for GLP1 agonists and SGLT2 inhibitors yet, as evidence and supporting studies are missing proving efficacy and safety]. Thus studies under standardized conditions are urgently needed to answer these unsolved questions. First results of a combination of a SGLT2 Inhibitor and a GLP1 agonist demonstrated huge potential regarding glucose and weight reduction and safety issues. However, further studies are necessary to elucidate potential mechanisms of combination therapy with SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP1 agonists and its effect on weight loss, glucose control, effects on incretins and adipokines, as well as further effects on ectopic lipid accumulation in liver and other tissues as myocard or pancreas in humans. As both monotherapies have effects on weight and metabolism, changes in abdominal, subcutaneous, hepatic, myocardial or pancreatic lipid content might be speculated and are focus of interest in this study. Recently GLP1 agonists were shown to have effects on hepatic lipid reduction in humans with diabetes. Hepatic lipid content and steatosis hepatis are widely discussed to have major effects on progression of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Thus reduction of lipid accumulation in hepatic tissue might have an effect on diabetes progression. Also higher myocardial lipid accumulation is seen in diabetic patients probably partly responsible for higher cardiovascular risk in diabetics. So far results combining these two drug classes show less weight loss as might have been expected using monotherapy, so that further investigation will definitely shed light on combination of therapeutic concepts. Facing a multiple of positive side effects (weight loss, blood pressure lowering, potential protective cardiac effects) using a combination of SGLT2 and GLP1 seems to be a promising therapeutic option in diabetic subjects.
This study aims to show whether the hyperglycaemic phases following a treatment with glucocorticoids, as well as blood measurements correlated to high blood glucose levels and insulin resistance, vary significantly between patients with and without gestational diabetes mellitus.
The purpose of this study is to determine if an investigational treatment is effective compared with placebo and PVP-Iodine in the treatment of adults and children with bacterial conjunctivitis.
Pandemics and re-emerging diseases put pressure on the health care system to prepare for patient care and sample logistics requiring enhanced personnel protective equipment (PPE) for health care workers. We generated quantifiable data on ergonomics of PPE applicable in a health care setting by defining error rates and physically limiting factors due to PPE-induced restrictions. Nineteen study volunteers tested randomly allocated head- or full body-ventilated PPE suits equipped with powered-air-purifying-respirators and performed four different tests (two laboratory tutorials, a timed test of selective attention and a test investigating reaction time, mobility, speed and physical exercise) during 6 working hours at 22°C on one day and 4 working hours at 28°C on another day. Error rates and physical parameters (fluid loss, body temperature, heart rate) were determined and ergonomic-related parameters were assessed hourly using questionnaires. Depending on the PPE system the most restrictive factors were: reduced dexterity due to multiple glove layers, impaired visibility by flexible face shields and back pain related to the respirator of the fully ventilated suit. Heat stress and liquid loss were perceived as restrictive at a working temperature of 28°C but not 22°C.
This Phase 2, two-arm, open-label study is designed to evaluate the safety, clinical activity, and predictive biomarkers of durvalumab in combination with R-CHOP or R2-CHOP, followed by durvalumab consolidation therapy in previously untreated subjects with high-risk diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Induction treatment with R-CHOP (± lenalidomide) will last for a total of up to 6 to 8 treatment cycles (21 day cycles), and the total time on study treatment, including durvalumab consolidation, will last up to 12 months. On 05-Sep-2017, the US FDA has issued a Partial Clinical Hold on this study resulting in the discontinuation of enrollment into Arm B (Durvalumab + Lenalidomide + R-CHOP). After the US FDA Partial Clinical Hold, new eligible participants have been enrolled in Arm A (Durvalumab + R-CHOP).
The aim of this non-interventional study is to collect primarily the percentage of patients who receive the full dose of dexamethasone (20 or 40 mg orally once daily on days 1, 8, 15 and 22 of the repetitive 28-day cycles, 20 mg in >75 year old patients) in the registered indication under practice conditions.
To assess preliminary safety and efficacy of the Serranatorâ„¢ Alto PTA Serration Balloon Catheter in subjects with atherosclerotic peripheral artery disease of the superficial femoral and popliteal arteries.
This is a single-arm, multicenter, Phase 2 study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination regimen of daratumumab plus durvalumab (D2). The study will consist of 2 parts; Part 1 has a 2-stage design while Part 2 consists of an expansion phase. Subjects will receive intravenous (IV) DARA at 16 mg/kg on the same dosing schedule (weekly [QW], every 2 weeks [Q2W] or every 4 weeks [Q4W] of each 28-day cycle) received on their last prior therapy containing DARA. The dosing schedule for DARA may be adjusted during the course of the study as outlined in the protocol. Subjects will also receive IV DURVA at 1500 mg on Day 2 (Cycle 1) and on Day 1 (Cycles ≥ 2) of each 28-day treatment cycle.
This is an open-label, Phase I, dose-escalation study to determine the recommended Phase 2 dose (RPTD), maximum tolerated dose (MTD), and evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of budigalimab. This study will also evaluate the safety and tolerability of budigalimab in combination with Rovalpituzumab Tesirine and budigalimab in combination with venetoclax. The study will consist of 3 parts: budigalimab monotherapy dose escalation and expansion, budigalimab in combination with Rovalpituzumab Tesirine and budigalimab in combination with venetoclax.
With this study we will be able to dose-dependently measure real-time glucose metabolism changes after non-invasively stimulating superficial parts of the dlPFC, a commonly used target in therapeutic tDCS applications. This will provide further insight if and how tDCS is capable to change one of most reliable parameters of brain metabolism.
