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.
Patients with gastric or colon cancer with peritoneal carcinomatosis will receive a biopsy of the tumor during their primary curative surgery. The operation is performed according to standard and includes resection of the primary tumor and any metastases and followed by HIPEC (Intraperitoneal hyperthermic chemoperfusion) according to the respective hospital standard. Organoid cultures from the biopsies are established in the research laboratory. Various chemotherapeutic agents are tested on these tumor organoids in the laboratory and the tumor organoids are analyzed in detail with regard to genetic alterations in order to find alterations that can be addressed, if necessary, by means of targeted drugs against peritoneal carcinomatosis.
The primary purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the long-term use of TPIP in participants with PAH from studies INS1009-201 (NCT04791514), INS1009-202 (NCT05147805) and other lead-in studies of TPIP in participants with PAH.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the long-term use of TPIP in participants with PH-ILD from Study INS1009-211 (NCT05176951) and other lead-in studies of TPIP in participants with PH-ILD.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate efficacy and safety of ianalumab compared to placebo in patients with warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia, who failed at least one line of treatment.
Postoperative mortality within 30 days after surgery is around 2% in patients having major noncardiac surgery in Europe and the USA. In fact, if the first 30 days after surgery were considered a disease, it would be the third leading cause of death globally. Postoperative deaths are a consequence of postoperative organ injury and complications - including acute myocardial injury, acute kidney injury, and severe infectious complications. To avoid postoperative deaths, it is thus crucial to reduce postoperative organ injury and complications. To reduce postoperative organ injury and complications, modifiable risk factors need to be addressed. These modifiable risk factors for postoperative organ injury include low blood flow states and intraoperative hypotension. Optimizing blood flow (i.e., cardiac index) during surgery may thus be effective in reducing postoperative organ injury and complications. However, the optimal hemodynamic treatment strategy for high-risk surgical patients remains unclear. Cardiac index varies substantially between individuals. However, current intraoperative hemodynamic treatment strategies mainly aim to maximize cardiac index instead of using personalized cardiac index targets for each individual patient. A single-center pilot trial suggests that using individualized cardiac index targets during surgery may reduce postoperative organ injury and complications compared to routine hemodynamic management. However, large robust trials investigating the effect of personalized hemodynamic management targeting preoperative baseline cardiac index on postoperative complications are missing. The investigators, therefore, propose a multicenter randomized trial to test the hypothesis that personalized hemodynamic management targeting preoperative baseline cardiac index reduces the incidence of a composite outcome of acute kidney injury, acute myocardial injury, non-fatal cardiac arrest, severe infectious complications, and death within 7 days after surgery compared to routine hemodynamic management in high-risk patients having major abdominal surgery.
Patients undergoing minimally invasive mitral valve reconstruction via small thoracotomy are randomized into two groups. The intervention group receives serratus anterior plane block after minimally invasive mitral-valve reconstruction, following 48h infusion with ropivacaine 2% continually. The control group receives a placebo pump without infusion. Primary endpoints are perceived pain using a numeric pain rating scale and opioid consumption during the hospital stay.
This is a Phase III, multicenter, randomized, open-label, global study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of inavolisib plus fulvestrant compared with alpelisib plus fulvestrant in patients with hormone receptor (HR)-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) -negative, PIK3CA-mutated, locally advanced (LA) or metastatic breast cancer (mBC), who progressed during or after cyclin dependent kinase 4/6i (CDK4/6i)-based therapy.
This trial is a phase I open-label, single center study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability and preliminary efficacy of the bispecific prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) and cluster of differentiation protein 3 (CD3) antibody CC-1 in men with biochemical recurrence (BCR) of prostate cancer (PC). The PSMA binder in CC-1 reacts with tumor cells and also binds to tumor vessels, thereby allowing for a dual mode of anti-cancer action. CC-1 was developed in a novel format, which not only prolongs serum half-life, but most importantly reduces off-target T-cell activation with accordingly reduced side effects. The study entails a part I (dose escalation part) to identify the maximally tolerated dose of CC-1, which then will be further evaluated in part II of the study (dose expansion part). After application of two low doses as safety steps in the first cycle, CC-1 will be applied twice weekly for three consecutive weeks within 4 week cycles as a short-term intravenous infusion (3 hours). The planned trial ultimately shall define the recommended phase II dose (RP2D) of CC-1 in the disease setting of BCR of PC.
Background: Small-Fiber-Neuropathy describes the degeneration of mildly or unmyelinated nerve fibers and causes neuropathic pain and autonomic dysfunction. Gold standard for the diagnosis is a small skin punch biopsy from the lower leg and the histological quantification of the intraepidermal nerve fiber density (IENFD). In children, the normal IENFD has not been systematically assessed and normal reference values are needed. In Parkinson´s disease, the neurodegeneration also affects the peripheral nerves and SFN is present already in the early stages. Whether neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) in childhood are likewise associated with SFN is largely unknown. The IENFD is age-dependent and declines with age. Aims: In this study, we are establishing the reference values for the physiological IENFD in children from 0-18 years. Moreover, we are investigating if children with NDDs have a reduced IENFD and if SNF is a clinically relevant cause of pain and autonomic dysfunction.
This study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of tobemstomig alone or in combination with tiragolumab compared with atezolizumab in participants with previously untreated, locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer (mUC) who are ineligible to receive a platinum containing chemotherapy.
