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.
The objective of this clinical trial was to evaluate whether DF2156A has a potential in improving the clinical outcome in patients with active blistering bullous pemphigoid (BP) to warrant its further development. The safety of DF2156A in the specific clinical setting was also evaluated.
The objective of this study is to determine whether early radiofrequency (RF) ablation treatment, using the CARTO® 3 or CARTO® XP System, and THERMOCOOL® Catheter Family (including THERMOCOOL® SF or THERMOCOOL® SMARTTOUCH™) in subjects with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF), delays progression of atrial fibrillation (AF) compared with drug therapy (either rate or rhythm control) using current AF management guidelines.
The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate a low rate of emergence of antibiotic resistance in P. aeruginosa and Acinetobacter spp during the treatment of hospitalized patients with pneumonia requiring mechanical ventilation treated with PD optimized meropenem administered as a prolonged infusion in combination with a parenteral aminoglycoside plus tobramycin by inhalation (Group 1) compared to therapy with meropenem alone (Group 2 - control arm).
Patients with HER2/neu expressing solid tumors progressing after standard therapy will be treated with a so called trifunctional antibody (Ertumaxomab). The main objective of this trial is to find the maximum tolerated dose. Tolerability and Safety will be assessed as well as efficacy.
The aim of the trial is to test safety, tolerability and efficacy of Propionyl-L-carnitine modified release tablets 1g/die in reducing the symptoms of the disease with respect to the proportion of patients with disease remission at the end of the 8 weeks of treatment. It will also aim to investigate capability of the treatment in the maintenance of remission after four weeks of treatment interruption; histological changes will be also evaluated and finally, improvement in the overall quality of life as measured by the Short Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (SIBDQ) will be investigated.
Utilisation of extended criteria donors due to critical organ shortage contributes to increased ischemia reperfusion injury as well as mortality following liver transplantation. Experimental data show protective effects on hepatic ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) using the calcineurin inhibitor Tacrolimus applied intravenously or directly as a hepatic rinse. Moreover clinical data indicate a protective role of a Tacrolimus rinse in human liver transplantation when using normal, healthy grafts. The effects of Tacrolimus on hepatic injury in extended donor criteria (EDC) liver grafts remain unclear. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to examine the effects of a Tacrolimus ex vivo rinse (20 ng/ml) on cellular injury after transplantation of marginal liver grafts exhibiting 2 or more EDCs according to Eurotransplant's definition of EDC grafts.
The purpose of this trial is to test the safety and tolerance of the combination therapy with cytarabine, lomustine and radiotherapy in patients with leptomeningeal metastasis from malignant melanoma.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of pomalidomide in the treatment of patients with systemic sclerosis with interstitial lung disease.
Study to assess the safety and tolerability of MEDI5117 in Rheumatoid Arthritis patients
The main purpose of this clinical trial is to find out if cilengitide has an effect on brain tumor cells but also particularly on the blood vessels supplying the tumor with nutrient and oxygen in patients newly diagnosed with non-resectable (inoperable) glioblastoma. In addition, this clinical trial will investigate if the addition of cilengitide in combination with standard treatment prolongs life in patients with non-resectable glioblastoma. Similarly, the duration of response of the cancer to this treatment and the side effects of the therapy will be analyzed. Furthermore, additional data on how the body deals with this substance will be collected (this is called pharmacokinetics or pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis). In this clinical trial the investigators would also like to learn more about the disease and the response to the experimental medication by measuring certain "markers". This imaging trial will investigate the biological effects of cilengitide monotherapy on the tumor microvascular function and tumor viability in a homogenous non-pretreated subject population with newly diagnosed Gliobastoma (GBM). The purpose of this clinical trial is to study the effect that cilengitide may have on certain markers of cancer in your tumor and/or blood and to learn if there are any disease-related markers that could help in predicting how subjects respond to the administration of cilengitide. The investigators anticipate that approximately 30 subjects will participate in this clinical trial. The clinical trial will be conducted in approximately 4 medical centers in the following countries: Germany, Poland, and Switzerland. The investigators anticipate the clinical trial will last until the end of 2013. Your participation in the trial may last up to 86 weeks.
