There are about 25560 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Germany. 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.
A Study of Anti-CD19 Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cell Therapy for Subjects With Refractory Lupus Nephritis
This study compares insulin icodec, a new insulin taken once a week, to insulin glargine, an insulin taken once a day. The study medicine will be investigated in participants with type 2 diabetes. Participants will either get insulin icodec or insulin glargine. Which treatment participants get is decided by chance. Insulin icodec is the new medicine being tested, while insulin glargine is already approved and can be prescribed by doctors. Participants will get one injection of insulin icodec once a week, or one injection of insulin glargine once a day, depending on the treatment group participants are assigned into. Participants will use a pen with a small needle to inject the medicine under participants skin into participants thigh, upper arm or stomach.The study will last for about 9 months, but participants will only be taking the study medicine for 6 months.
Heart failure (HF) is a global, public health issue that affects more than 63 million people worldwide; this burden is expected to increase substantially as the population ages. Despite advancements in treatment, a HF diagnosis still leads to significant morbidity and mortality; there is also an immense impact on patients' health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Dapagliflozin was recently granted approval for heart failure by the European Commission, regardless of ejection fraction and whether the patient has diabetes. Real-world observational data are necessary to describe dapagliflozin use in real-world settings in order to assess treatment patterns, HF symptoms and their impact on physical limitation, HRQoL and work productivity, as well as health care utilization of patients treated with dapagliflozin in this setting under local treatment standard conditions in Germany.
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of ACU193 infusions administered once every four weeks (Q4W) in slowing cognitive and functional decline as compared to placebo in participants with early Alzheimer's disease.
The present study aims to investigate the impact of Tumescent Local Anesthesia (TLA) on pain perception following surgeries typical for breast cancer. Previous research has already confirmed the feasibility of conducting operations in TLA for benign breast conditions. In contrast to general anesthesia, Tumescent Local Anesthesia involves local anesthesia of the surgical site, allowing patients to remain awake during the procedure and eliminating the risks associated with general anesthesia. Additionally, if needed, sedatives or further anesthesia can be administered through the vein. Building upon the successful applications of TLA in benign breast surgeries, this follow-up study at the Department of Women's Health focuses on enhancing surgical techniques, pain management, and postoperative care for breast cancer-related procedures. Simultaneously, our goal is to gather scientific data regarding the application of this technique. This research contributes to the continuous advancement of medical practices in the field of breast surgery.
Investigation of the influence of the sense of presence during a Virtual Reality Cue-Exposure Therapy (VR-CET) with alcohol-associated cues on craving and relapse rates. Study group: abstinent patients (at least 18 years old) with a diagnosed alcohol dependence after completed inpatient withdrawal treatment in the the last 3 months. Primary hypothesis: the experience of presence during a virtual presentation of alcohol in alcohol-dependent patients is associated with levels of craving for alcohol during VR-CET.
Technical advances in radiotherapy (RT) treatment planning and delivery have substantially changed RT concepts for primary prostate cancer (PCa) by (i) enabling a reduction of treatment time and by (ii) enabling a safe delivery of high RT doses. Several studies proposed a dose-response relationship for patients with primary prostate cancer (PCa) and especially in patients with high-risk features a dose escalation should lead to improved tumor control. In parallel to the improvements in RT techniques, diagnostic imaging techniques like multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) and positron-emission tomography (PET) evolved and enable an accurate depiction of the intraprostatic tumor mass for the first time. The HypoFocal-SBRT study combines ultra-hypofractionated RT / stereotactic body RT (reduction of treatment time) with a focal RT dose escalation on intraprostatic tumor sides by applying state of the art diagnostic imaging and most modern RT concepts. This novel concept will be compared with moderate hypofractionated RT (MHRT), one option for the curative primary treatment of PCa, which has been proven by several prospective trials and is recommended and carried out worldwide. We suspect an increase in relapse-free survival (RFS) and we will also assess quality of life in order to detect potential changes.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare implant stability, and crestal bone loss, when using minimal invasive ridge splitting versus convenient open flap technique. The main question is Does Minimal Invasive Implant ridge splitting ("transmucosal" without flap) influence the implant stability and crystal bone loss, when compared with the conventional open flap techniques? Researchers will compare Group A: Minimal Invasive Implant ridge splitting and Group B: Triangular flap technique is used to see if there is significant difference between the two groups when measuring implant stability, and crestal bone density.
The aim of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effects of water-filtered Infrared-A radiation on patients suffering from hand osteoarthritis. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does water-filtered Infrared-A radiation reduce pain and improve the function of finger joints over time? - Are patients satisfied with the treatment results when compared to those who were on a wait-list?
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the performance of 2 intraocular lenses (IOLs): ARTIS SYMBIOSE (study lenses) vs PANOPTIX (comparator) through binocular Distance Corrected Intermediate Visual Acuity (DCIVA) assessed at 80 cm in photopic conditions at minimum 1-month post-operative by a blinded evaluator. This main objective will be to show superiority of the ARTIS SYMBIOSE system on the primary endpoint. The patient population to be included is patient suffering from cataract who requires cataract surgery procedure that meet the inclusion and non-inclusion criteria and provide written informed consent. Participants will attend a total of 5 study visits: 1 preoperative visit, 1 surgery visit and 3 postoperative visits.
