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.
This is a randomized, controlled, multi-center trial in subjects diagnosed with Actinic Keratosis (AK) where each subject serves as their own control. The trial will be conducted at 2 sites, one in Germany and one in the United States. Approximately 60 subjects will be randomized to ensure 51 subjects complete the study.
The pathophysiological implications of various cancer diseases and anti-cancer therapies is the occurrence of a cardiac disease-like phenotype with cardiac dysfunction, cardiac wasting, and cardiac homeostasis changes (incl. fibrosis and apoptosis) in end-stage cancer patients, causing heart failure like syndrome with development of congestion, dyspnoea and severely reduced physical functioning. The present trial aims to evaluate, if a heart failure medication improves the self-care ability and self-reported health care status of patients with pre-terminal cancer in palliative care.
The goal of this observational study is to collect more clinical information on how safe it is, and how well the NEXUS™ Aortic Arch Stent Graft System works for the treatment of aortic aneurysms, which is a bulg involving the aortic arch in the standard-of-care setting following CE-approval. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Early mortality, defined as lesion related death, or any death that occurs within 30 days following the procedure - Safety outcomes throughout the study - Device failure throughout the study - Procedural and hospitalisation information Participants will be treated per institutional standard of care that includes the following: - Medical History, blood tests, ABI, Rutherford Classification, physical examination, CTA, ECG, Echocardiography, and neurological assessment at baseline - Collection of procedural and hospitalisation information - Follow-up information will be collected at discharge, after 30 days, after 6 months and annually through to five years. Data collected may include: AE/SAE, physical examination, AKI classification, neurological assessment, lab tests, CTA
This study will be done to see if ziltivekimab can be used to treat people living with heart failure and inflammation. Participants will either get ziltivekimab or placebo. Participants will get study medicine for once-monthly injections either in a pre-filled syringe to inject the study medicine into a skinfold or a pen-injector to inject the study medicine into flat skin. The study is expected to last for up to 4 years. Participants will have up to 20 clinic visits. Participants will have to use a study app on their phone to record and share information about all their injections of study medicine and to fill in questionnaires.
The aim of this prospective, monocentric, non-randomized trial is to investigate the impact of catheter ablation of atrial tachyarrhythmias on the ABC-stroke and ABC-bleeding risk scores. Participants planned for first catheter ablation for symptomatic atrial tachyarrrhythmias (atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter) will be enrolled. Serial blood samples will be collected before and 3, 6 and 12 months after catheter ablation to calculate the ABC scores as well as the traditional bleeding and stroke risks. Following catheter ablation, continuous rhythm monitoring will be achieved using an insertable monitor or an implanted atrial lead of a cardiac implantable electronic device. Additionally, heart rate monitoring via photoplethysmography using a smartwatch and/or smartphone is performed for a period of six months. Data are analyzed for differences in ABC scores before and after ablation in relation to possible AF/AT recurrences. Furthermore, we are going to compare the sensitivity and specificity of different follow-up modalities post ablation. The monitoring via ICM (gold standard) is compared to smartwatch-based monitoring alone, versus smartphone-based monitoring alone or a combination of both for AT/AF recurrences.
The goal of this observational, prospective study is to in depth analyze the retinal microvasculature in patients with Post-COVID-19 Syndrome (PCS). The main questions it aims to answer is: Do patients with PCS show a prolonged endothelial dysfunction when compared with fully COVID-19 recovered participants? Does symptom severity in PCS patients correlate with the extend of endothelial dysfunction? Do these changes correlate with improvement in symptoms in the prospective observation?
The primary objective of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of multiple doses of QRL-201 in people living with ALS
Observational data collection of information after undergoing standard Cervical spine fusion surgery.
This is a two-part, Phase IIa, multicenter, 12-week, open-label study. Up to 56 participants with deletion Angelman Syndrome (AS) aged 5-17 years (inclusive) will be enrolled in the study.
The evidence for an autoimmune etiology in postinfectious myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is growing. The investigators observed in a not yet published study that in ME/CFS triggered by COVID, similar to ME/CFS after other infections, there is a close correlation of ß2 adrenergic receptor (ß2R) autoantibodies with symptom severity. Immunoadsorption (IA) to remove autoantibodies has been used successfully in many autoantibody-mediated diseases. The investigators have already performed two proof of concept studies of IA in postinfectious ME/CFS with elevated ß2R antibodies, which resulted in improvement in most patients. This observational study aims to assess symptom outcome and functional ability in 20 patients with Post-COVID Syndrome (PCS) meeting ME/CFS diagnostic criteria with elevated ß2R antibodies undergoing antibody depletion by IA. The study will be conducted as a non-interventional observational study. IA with Miltenyi's TheraSorb® column in PCS will be performed in the approved use. Patients who have symptom improvement after the 1st IA will receive two additional IAs at 3 and 6 months, which will also be documented. The results of this observational study will provide the basis for a randomized controlled clinical trial (RCT) combining IA with B-cell depletion therapy preferentially with Obinutuzumab.
