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.
Insulin resistance and the depletion of insulin secretion are major pathogenetic aspects of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Recently, inceptor, a receptor on the surface of beta cells was dicovered. Inceptor promotes beta cell resistance to insulin and IGF-1. In humans, the inceptor is encoded by the two genes ELAPOR1 and ELAPOR2. Whether functional mutations in these genes affect insulin secretion and glucose regulation in humans has not been investigated so far. In this study we investigate the influence of genetic variations in ELAPOR1 or ELAPOR2 on insulin secretion and glucose regulation in humans by hygerglycemic glucose clamp technique and oral glucose tolerance test respectively.
A 24-month prospective, open-label, randomized, multicenter, multinational, non-inferiority pragmatic clinical trial evaluating zoledronate single or double infusion versus oral alendronate following denosumab
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of single ascending dose of BIIB115 administered via intrathecal (IT) bolus injection to healthy male participants in Part A and multiple ascending doses of BIIB115 administered via IT bolus injection to pediatric Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) participants previously treated with onasemnogene abeparvovec in Part B. The secondary objective of the study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of single-dose of BIIB115 administered via IT bolus injection to healthy male participants in Part A and multiple ascending doses of BIIB115 administered via IT bolus injection to pediatric SMA participants who previously received onasemnogene abeparvovec in Part B.
This is a prospective non-interventional, multicenter study observing patient reported outcomes as well as real-world efficacy and safety of trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) in patients with documented Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive unresectable or metastatic breast cancer (BC) and in patients with documented HER2-low unresectable or metastatic BC receiving T-DXd in line with the applicable summary of product characteristics (SmPC) within routine clinical practice in Germany. In addition, patients will be informed about use of digital healthcare application (DiGA).
This is a prospective, observational, single-arm, multi-center registry of patients undergoing bioprosthetic aortic valve replacement with the Avalus valve. This prospective registry aims to examine the outcome and performance of surgical aortic valve replacement with the Avalus pericardial bioprosthesis.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of teclistamab with PVd/Kd.
This is a retrospective and prospective longitudinal study in participants with Otoferlin Gene-Mediated Hearing Loss.
This study will test the safety of a drug called SGN-BB228 in participants with melanoma and other solid tumors that are hard to treat or have spread through the body. It will also study the side effects of this drug. A side effect is anything a drug does to the body besides treating the disease. This study will have 3 parts. Parts A and B of the study will find out how much SGN-BB228 should be given to participants. Part C will use the information from Parts A and B to see if SGN-BB228 is safe and if it works to treat solid tumor cancers.
This is a longitudinal observation of kidney function, immune system and gut microbiota before and 24 weeks after a live kidney transplantation conducted in donor and recipient pairs living in the same household. Outcome measures include kidney function, body composition, blood pressure, gut microbiome composition, metabolomics and immune cell states.
Pain is closely linked to alpha oscillations (8 -13 Hz) which are thought to represent a supra-modal, top-down mediated gating mechanism that shapes sensory processing. Consequently, alpha oscillations might also shape the cerebral processing of nociceptive input and eventually the perception of pain. To test this mechanistic hypothesis, the investigators designed a sham-controlled and double-blind electroencephalography (EEG)-based neurofeedback study. In a short-term neurofeedback training protocol, healthy participants will learn to up- and downregulate somatosensory alpha oscillations using attention. Subsequently, the investigators will investigate how this manipulation impacts experimental pain applied during neurofeedback. Using Bayesian statistics and mediation analysis, the investigators will test whether alpha oscillations mediate attention effects on pain perception. This approach promises causal insights into the role of alpha oscillations in shaping pain, and thereby extends previous correlative evidence. Beyond, it can aid the development of novel, non-invasive modulatory treatment approaches for chronic pain, which are urgently needed. The prosed study protocol has been granted in-principle acceptance from PLOS Biology and the corresponding registration can be found at the OSF online repository [www.osf.io/qbkj2].
