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 aim of this project is to improve the integration of digital processes, including e-prescriptions, within medical and dental practices for healthcare professionals. Through a better understanding of the obstacles healthcare workers encounter during the adoption of digital processes and their feedback post-implementation, this study will add to the current state of science, contributing to digital process optimization in healthcare.
The purpose of this study is to measure the efficacy and safety of baxdrostat/dapagliflozin in participants ≥ 18 years of age with CKD and HTN. This study consists of a screening, a 4-week dapagliflozin run-in period for participants naïve to SGLT2i at baseline; a 24-month double-blind period in which participants will receive either baxdrostat/dapagliflozin or dapagliflozin; and a 6-week open-label period in which all participants will discontinue baxdrostat/placebo and receive dapagliflozin alone. Site visits will take place at 2-, 4-, 8-, and 16- weeks following randomisation. Thereafter visits will occur approximately every 4 months, until the 24-month visit at which time baxdrostat/placebo will be discontinued. Participants will continue open-label dapagliflozin for another 6-weeks (approximately), where reassessment of GFR will occur for the primary efficacy endpoint. In the event of premature discontinuation of blinded study intervention, participants will continue in the study and receive open-label dapagliflozin monotherapy, unless the participant meets dapagliflozin specific discontinuation criteria, in which case all study interventions will be discontinued.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the bioavailability and practicability of two different formulations of tacrolimus in kidney transplant recipients. The main objective is to demonstrate that Envarsus® (test drug) has superior (higher) oral bioavailability compared with Advagraf™ (comparator drug) at 12 weeks after kidney transplantation. The trial also aims to compare the practicability (handling) of the two drugs using a series of pharmacokinetic parameters and to explore the relationship between drug bioavailability and long-term clinical outcomes, with a special focus on dose-dependent adverse reactions, measured until 3 years post-transplantation. The trial incorporates a pharmacokinetic sub-study designed to profile the peak tacrolimus blood concentration up to 6 hours after drug intake on the day of the 12-week study visit.
Part A: The study will look at participants appetite and energy intake and also look at the mechanisms of brain associated with appetite and food intake. Participants will not get any medicine and will be in a group that will be compared to another group receiving a weight-loss medicine. The study will last for about 6 months. Part B: The study will look at how CagriSema works on participants appetite and energy intake and will be compared with a ''dummy'' medicine. The study will also look at how participants brain works when participants take the medicine. Participants will either get CagriSema or ''dummy'' medicine.
Breast cancer is one of the most worrisome health concerns facing women. Early detection and active patient monitoring are crucial to survival. The chances of a cure are high when detected and treated in the early stages. Standard breast cancer diagnostic methods such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI have limitations such as ionizing radiation, high false-positive rates, and/or high expenses. Medical Thermography might overcome these limitations: It is a non-invasive , adjunctive physiologic imaging technology that uses a high-resolution infrared camera and computer processing to produce an image (thermogram) of a patient's skin surface temperatures. It is a non-contact screening method, which does not involve radiation exposure or invasive procedures, and is safe for both the patient and the trained personnel performing the screening. While mammography and ultrasound depend primarily on structural and anatomical variation of the tumor from the surrounding breast tissue, thermography detects pathophysiological changes within the breast such as metabolic and vascular changes caused by cancer. The heat transfer in the body is conducted by the circulatory system; hence, pathologies identified by thermography are generally associated with changes in blood perfusion. To date, there has been no completed or ongoing large-scale, prospective, multicenter, international study that evaluates the diagnostic performance of thermal video streams coupled with advanced Artificial Intelligence algorithms for early-stage breast cancer screening and diagnosis. The proposed study will be crucial for the development of a new imaging modality that aims to be both cost-effective and to carry a minimal level of risk, facilitating screening of women of all age groups and breast densities, enabling early detection of abnormalities caused by malignant processes and improving patient monitoring.
The aim of this project is to set up a cross-sectional cohort study (France, Germany, The Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Switzerland, Italy, United Kingdom and Portugal) to assess the implementation of EACS guidelines for HDV-testing among PLWH with positive HbsAg and thereby evaluate the prevalence of HDV infection among HIV/HBV-coinfected in 2023, as well as corresponding risk factors. In addition to the testing itself, this study will also set up a cohort and databasee for future HDV studies among PLWH, including clinical, virological und laboratory parameters. 1. Analyze the rate of HDV-testing and evaluate the prevalence of HDV-infection by testing. 1. Evaluation of former screening of HDV by assessing existing data at study sites. 2. Determination of the HDV prevalence in European PLWH and HBV coinfection. 2. Setting up a database of all PLWH with HBV/HDV coinfection 1. Analysis of transmission risk factors for HDV coinfection 2. Asses the rate of HDV positive patients with ongoing HDV replication. 3. Define the liver disease state by APRI score, fibroscan, ultrasound and routine laboratory test results.
This is a prospective, randomized trial to determine whether the use of sonographic parameters during labor results in less intrapartum infection compared to traditional invasive examination. Other secondary outcomes include maternal satisfaction and overall birth outcomes.
This study will test a medicine, NNC6019-0001, for people who have a heart disease due to TTR amyloidosis. It will look at how safe this medicine is in the long term and if it can reduce symptoms of a heart disease due to TTR amyloidosis, such as heart failure. It is an extension to a study called "A research study to look at how a new medicine called NNC6019-0001 works and how safe it is for people who have a heart disease due to TTR amyloidosis". Only participants who have completed that study will be invited for this new study. Participants will get NNC6019-0001, regardless of whether they got placebo or NNC6019-0001 in the first study. The study will last for up to 157 weeks (36 months/3 years).
The aim of the 3-year longitudinal study is to investigate the cardiovascular system's response to training loads in young athletes. For the first time, these parameters will be examined alongside biochemical and metabolic laboratory measures, as well as body composition. The study focuses on the impact of training frequency and intensity, as well as performance, on cardiovascular structure and function. The following research questions are being investigated: What structural and functional cardiovascular changes can be observed in young athletes compared to the norm? What is the relationship between cardiac and vascular parameters depending on the athletic load (training frequency and intensity) as well as athletic performance? Do cardiac/vascular parameters change over the course of the study, and what role do athletic load (training frequency and intensity) as well as athletic performance play? What laboratory chemical changes can be observed in young athletes depending on the athletic load (training frequency and intensity) as well as athletic performance? What connections exist between laboratory chemical parameters and cardiac and vascular parameters in young athletes? Is there a correlation between structural and functional cardiovascular changes and body composition as well as eating behavior?
The present study aims to examine whether the efficacy of an exposure treatment in individuals with public speaking anxiety can be enhanced by implementing interventions that target reward processes. Optimized exposure enriched with reward-focused interventions will be compared to exposure in combination with interventions targeting cognitive flexibility. The efficacy of the exposure training will be assessed by behavioural and self-report measures of public-speaking anxiety at baseline (before intervention), intermediate-assessment (7-9 days after baseline assessment) and post-assessment (at least 7-9 days after intermediate-assessment). The investigators expect that exposure optimized by implementing reward-focused interventions is more effective in reducing public speaking anxiety compared to exposure in combination with interventions targeting cognitive flexibility.
