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 an open-label, common follow-up trial. Subjects who were enrolled in a Merck KGaA, EMD Serono or Merck Serono Japan sponsored trial with Tecemotide (L-BLP25) can be enrolled in this follow-up trial to continue their maintenance treatment with Tecemotide (L-BLP25). Subjects will be transferred once all feeder trial objectives have been met. Subjects who received Tecemotide (L-BLP25) in a feeder trial will continue Tecemotide (L-BLP25) treatment in this follow-up trial and have safety assessments performed as well as be observed for progressive disease and survival in 6- month intervals. Subjects who had not received Tecemotide (L-BLP25) in feeder trials, or discontinued treatment will only be observed for progressive disease and survival in 6-month intervals and will not be provided treatment with Tecemotide (L-BLP25).
At present, trabeculectomy is the most common performed and effective surgical method of filtration surgery for patients with medically uncontrolled glaucoma. The aim of this prospective observational case study is to determine changes of the peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thickness using spectral domain optical coherence tomography in patients with glaucoma after surgical reduction of intraocular pressure.
Net-Pac investigates if radiation prior to surgical resection improves survival in patients with pancreatic head cancer without metastases.
Skin toxicity treatment in patients with advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) and non-mutated (wild-type) KRAS treated with panitumumab monotherapy after failure of fluoropyrimidine-, oxaliplatin-, and irinotecan-containing chemotherapy regimens.
Nab-paclitaxel has demonstrated to be an active agent in breast cancer and probably a less toxic alternative to solvent based taxanes. It is indicated in metastatic breast cancer after failure of anthracyclines. However, most patients receive anthracyclines as well as taxanes as part of their (neo-)adjuvant therapy. There is currently no standard treatment for patients with an early relapse (<12 months) after a taxane containing (neo-)adjuvant therapy. Nab-paclitaxel, a novel nano-particle encapsulated paclitaxel is expected to have only limited cross-resistant to solvent-based taxanes and might therefore be indicated in this setting.
This is a Phase 3b, multicenter, international study conducted in 2 parts. Upon completion of the placebo-controlled period (Part 1), participants will have the option of enrolling in a 2-year open-label extension (Part 2). Part 1: The primary objective of the study is to investigate whether treatment with natalizumab slows the accumulation of disability not related to relapses in participants with secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (SPMS). The secondary objectives of Part 1 of this study are to determine the proportion of participants with consistent improvement in Timed 25-Foot Walk (T25FW), the change in participant-reported ambulatory status as measured by the 12-item MS Walking Scale (MSWS-12), the change in manual ability based on the ABILHAND Questionnaire, the impact of natalizumab on participant-reported quality of life using the Multiple Sclerosis Impact Scale-29 Physical (MSIS-29 Physical), the change in whole brain volume between the end of study and Week 24 using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and the proportion of participants experiencing progression of disability as measured by individual physical Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) system scores. Part 2: The primary objective of Part 2 of the study is to evaluate the safety profile of natalizumab in participants with SPMS. The secondary objectives of Part 2 of the study are to investigate long-term disability (based on clinical or patient-reported assessments) in participants with SPMS receiving natalizumab treatment for approximately 4 years and to assess change in brain volume and T2 lesion volume.
Central sleep apnea (CSA) has been associated with increased mortality and primarily occurs in patients with heart failure (HF). The primary purpose of this study is to document the natural progression of moderate to severe CSA in heart failure patients.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that rhBSSL improves growth in preterm infants as compared with placebo.
Trichuris suis ova (TSO) is a probiotic treatment based on the hygiene hypothesis, that has proven safe and effective in autoimmune inflammatory bowel disease. Clinical trails indicate that helminth infections have an immunomodulatory effect in multiple sclerosis as well. Investigators hypothesize that TSO® 2500 eggs given oral every 2 weeks for 12 months is - due to its immunomodulatory and antiinflammatory effect - in recurrent remittent multiple sclerosis and clinically isolated syndrome significantly more effective than an oral placebo treatment as assed by new T2 lesions in cerebral magnetic resonance imaging and clinical examination.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate source data for the survival and the investigation of the preliminary efficacy of immunoadsorption in patients with severe systemic sclerosis.
