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.
In this study we intend to treat patients with chronic hepatitis C of genotype 2 or 3 having characteristics associated with poor treatment response for additional 12 or 24 weeks beyond the standard treatment of PEG-IFN alpha-2b plus ribavirin. The objective of this study is to compare the efficacy of a treatment extension of 12 versus 24 weeks in patients with HCV-genotypes 2 and 3 who are treated with 1.5 µg/kg PEG-IFN alpha-2b and 800-1400 mg ribavirin (standard dose) for 24 weeks (standard duration) and who are not HCV-RNA negative (< 15 IU/ml) after 4 weeks of standard treatment but HCV-RNA negative after 16-24 weeks of standard treatment.
The purpose of this study is to test the hypotheses that argatroban significantly increases efficacy and safety of renal replacement therapy measured as life time of haemodialysis filters as compared to lepirudin
The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate the benefit of the immunotherapeutic product GSK 2132231A in preventing disease relapse when given to melanoma patients, after surgical removal of their tumor. This Protocol Posting has been updated following Amendments 1 of the Protocol, March 2010. The impacted sections are outcome measures and entry criteria.
This multicenter, multinational, longitudinal study will quantify endurance and respiratory function in subjects diagnosed with MPS IVA and will better characterize the spectrum of symptoms and biochemical abnormalities in MPS IVA disease over time.
This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of omalizumab for the treatment of Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis (ABPA) in patients with Cystic Fibrosis aged 12 years and older.
The GTX™ Drug Eluting Coronary Stent System is intended for the treatment of patients with a lesion in the coronary artery.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate an increase in protein metabolism during treatment with Physioneal 35® (containing lactate 10 mmol/l, calcium 1.75 mmol/l) compared to treatment with Physioneal 40® (containing lactate 15 mmol/l, calcium 1.25 mmol/l) in children and adolescents with end stage renal failure receiving peritoneal dialysis.
BIOTRONIK Home Monitoring (HM) service enables the doctors to safely follow up (FU) their ICD and CRT-D patients in a remote fashion, with fewer in-clinic consultations. This may result in a more efficient FU and cost-savings for the health care payer. The EuroEco study: 1. Outlines a new HM-based FU model for the ICD and CRT-D patients that combines in-clinic consultations and regular check ups of the patient/ICD/CRT-D data received through the HM service. 2. Compares the direct costs for physicians and clinics for the HM-based FU of ICD and CRT-D patients versus the traditional FU. 3. Compares the indicators of patients' safety between the two FU models.
The ARTEMIS-IPF study was conducted to determine if ambrisentan was effective in delaying disease progression and death in participants with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), to evaluate its safety, and to evaluate its effect on development of pulmonary hypertension, quality of life, and dyspnea (shortness of breath) symptoms in this participant population. Participants were randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive ambrisentan or placebo, respectively. Participation in the study was to be up to 4 years, depending on how long it would take to enroll participants and observe study events. After randomization, visits to the clinic took place every 3 months, and laboratory procedures were performed every month.
