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.
Investigation of two transdermal hormone patch formulations for contraception regarding inhibition of ovulation over a period of 3 treatment cycles in healthy young female volunteers
The present study is assessing the efficacy and safety of AVE5530 (25 mg and 50 mg) in add-on to ongoing statin treatment in a double-blind manner in comparison with placebo, in the management of patients with primary hypercholesterolemia considered as inadequately controlled despite their ongoing statin treatment. The main objective is to evaluate the effects of the association AVE5530+statin on LDL-C level reduction after 12 weeks of treatment. The effects of AVE5530 on other lipid parameters will be assessed as secondary objectives.
RATIONALE: Everolimus may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well everolimus works in treating older patients with mantle cell lymphoma who received previous first-line or second-line chemotherapy.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Diamyd (rhGAD65 formulated in alum) is effective in preserving the body's own insulin producing capacity in patients recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes.
The main purpose of this study is the identification, description, and segmentation of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients based on their value appraisal of treatment outcomes and all intermediate states of health, to obtain patient preferences in direct correlation with clinical data from patients suffering from NSCLC (stage IIIB / IV) who are in transition from 1st to 2nd line treatment, and to gain utility scores by health state derived from patients' perceived value and taken from their perspective.
The hypothesis of this study is that lenalidomide can be an effective drug in preventing relapse of MDS and AML patients with chromosomal abnormalities involving monosomy 5 or del5q after allogeneic HSCT. Due to its immunomodulatory action it might also be able to enhance a T - or NK cell mediated graft versus leukemia (GVL) effects. Nevertheless, one has to keep in mind a possible, yet unknown influence on modulation of clinical GVHD.
This study will determine the value of adding AMG 479 (fully human monoclonal antibody against IGF-1R) to paclitaxel and carboplatin first line chemotherapy in patients with optimally debulked (<1 cm) FIGO stage III and IV (positive pleural cytology only) ovarian epithelial (including fallopian tube and primary peritoneal) carcinoma.
This study aims at investigating the diagnostic accuracy of magnetic resonance angiography using the contrast agent Vasovist® in the detection of relevant vascular narrowing of the lower extremity. Patients who have been scheduled for intra-arterial conventional angiography are eligible for this trial.
This randomised placebo controlled double-blinded bicentre study (phase III) was designed to evaluate the preemptive and postoperative analgetic impact of etoricoxibe in open abdominal and thoracic surgery. Etoricoxib selectively inhibits isoform 2 of cyclo-oxigenase enzyme (COX-2). Therefore 120 patients (ASA-risk 1-2) with upcoming abdominal or thoracic surgery should be included into this study. Patients are randomly allocated to either the preemptive or the postoperative Etoricoxibe group. These two groups are divided each into two arms. Preemptive group patients get Etoricoxibe either twice (before and after surgery) or just a single preoperative dose. Postoperative group patients get placebo before surgery and either a drug application or a placebo again after surgery (so called 2x2 factorial study design). Cumulative use of morphine as assessed within first 48 hours after surgery is the primary trial outcome indicating the analgesic potency of Etoricoxibe. In addition, changes in patients level of sensibilisation will be measured with help of quantitative sensory testing (a standardised procedure) before and after surgery (secondary outcome). In addition pharmacogenetic testing will provide information about genetic aberrations (so called polymorphisms) of the patients enzymes that should be compared to the individual reaction regarding Etoricoxibe. The results will give hint about the analgesic impact of etoricoxibe in acute postoperative pain. There will be findings for preemptive analgesia and nerval processes. All this could lead to an improvement of postoperative pain relief while administrating preemptively a COX-2 selective inhibitor before surgery.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the target lesion failure rate of the NEVO Sirolimus-eluting Coronary Stent System.
