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.
To collect data on the prevalence of Chronic Abdominal Pain in Migraneurs in Germany
In patients with Pompe disease (PD) a progressive abnormal lysosomal glycogen storage in muscle tissue leads to impaired muscle function and to degeneration of muscle fibers. Children and adults with PD present with limb-girdle muscular weakness, diaphragm weakness and impaired breathing ability. Further, patients with classic infantile PD suffer from hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. To date, the muscle pathology and the extent of the disease can be assessed using invasive techniques (e.g., muscle biopsies) or imaging (e.g., MRI). These techniques are time consuming, and especially in young patients, require anesthesia, which increases the acute risk of respiratory failure. Multispectral optoacoustic tomography (MSOT) allows the detection of specific endogenous chromophores like collagen, myoglobin or hemoglobin by using a non-invasive approach comparable to conventional ultrasound. Instead of sound waves, MSOT illuminates tissue with near-infrared light of transient energy, which is absorbed and results in thermo-elastic expansion of certain molecules. This expansion generates ultrasound waves that are detected by the same device. Multispectral illumination and unmixing then allows the precise localisation and quantification of muscle-specific subcellular structures. MSOT has already been demonstrated the potential to visualize the muscular structure and the clinical extent of muscular disease in patients with Duchenne muscle dystrophy and differentiates those patients from healthy volunteers. The aim of the study is to establish glycogen as a novel PD-specific imaging target using MSOT-imaging. It intends to identify a PD-specific muscle pathology-signature by quantification of already established targets (collagen, myoglobin, hemoglobin, glycogen if applicable). This signature will aid in differentiating PD from other muscular pathologies and healthy volunteers and will ultimately serve as a potential non-invasive monitoring biomarker.
The purpose of AROC3-1001 is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and/or pharmacodynamics in adult healthy volunteers (HVs) and in adult patients with complement-mediated renal disease (C3 Glomerulopathy [C3G] and IgA Nephropathy [IgAN]). In Part 1 of the study, HVs will receive either one or two doses of ARO-C3 or placebo. In Part 2 of the study, adult patients with C3G/IgAN will receive 3 open-label doses of ARO-C3. Dose levels in Part 2 will be determined based on cumulative safety and pharmacodynamic data from Part 1.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK), efficacy, safety and immunogenicity of ustekinumab and guselkumab in active juvenile psoriatic arthritis (jPsA).
This protocol is designed to study Orthofix regulatory approved and commercially available spine devices to generate Real World Evidence (RWE) of device safety and performance in the treatment of patients with spine injuries and/or disorders following the local medical standard of care. The clinical data generated from this study will support compliance to global regulatory requirements including but not limited to the European Medical Device Regulation (EU MDR) for the applicable devices.
Orofacial clefts are the second most common birth deformity and vary in etiology and phenotype, e.g. isolated cleft palate, cleft lip or cleft lip palate. Especially newborns with unilateral complete cleft lip and palate (UCLP) present severe facial asymmetries auch as a broad and flat ala of the nose, a deviation of the columella and the philtrum to the non cleft side. Since postnatal asymmetries can even remain after surgical lip closure in a alleviated shape, therapeutic presurgical orthodontic approaches to improve symmetrie of the nose and to achieve ideal conditions for lip surgery are essential. Presurgical orthodontic treatment for newborns with UCLP start within the first days after birth to separate oral and nasal cavitiy, to improve breathing and feeding and to regulate growth of the maxillary segments using passive appliances (passive Alveolar Molding (pAM)). An advanced and widely spread concept is the Nasoalveolar Molding (NAM) by Grayson, which was first introduced in 1993 as a palate plate combined with a nasal stent as a non-invasive presurgical appliance to stimulate growth of the nose and use the postnatal potential to modulate the nasal cartilage. The aim of the NAM therapy is to reduce nasal width, to reduce deviation of the columella to the non cleft side and to increase nostril height. However, due to inhomogeneous study designs and results, so far only a slightly positive effect using NAM therapy could be detected and prospective, randomized clinical trials are necessary. The aim of the study is to analyse and to compare the effects of pAM versus NAM treatment in newborns with UCLP in the first year of life. The following parameters will be analysed on defined study time points: nostril width, nasal morphology, cleft width, maxillary growth, statical and dynamical facial asymmetries and facial perception.
This study consists of 2 parts: Dose Escalation Part 1 and Dose Expansion Part 2. The Dose Escalation Part 1 will evaluate the safety and tolerability of Avelumab in combination with Lenvatinib and determine the recommended Avelumab and Lenvatinib dose for expansion. Dose Expansion Part 2 will assess the efficacy of Avelumab in combination with Lenvatinib by Progression-free Survival in participants with pre-defined primary central nervous system (CNS) tumors.
Dinutuximab beta was designed to bind to neuroblastoma cells and other cancer cells that express the GD2 antigen, such as STS/LMS cells, and it is believed that this binding "labels" the cells an makes them a better target. In addition, γδ T cells can safely be expanded in-vivo using intravenous zoledronic acid and subcutaneous interleukin-2 (IL-2) in patients with different types of solid tumors [Dieli et al., 2007; Pressey et al., 2016]. It is supposed that combination treatment using dinutuximab beta, zoledronic acid and IL-2 is more effective than their use in isolation. The already-established safety profiles of these agents make testing of the combination in GD2 positive cancers such as GD2 expressing LMS both rational and feasible [Fisher et al., 2015].
The purpose of this study is to establish lay user performance criteria for the SavvyCheck Vaginal Yeast Test in comparison to standard vaginal yeast culture and identification method for Candida (the Reference Method). Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequencing of fungi will be used as an aid to explain the nature of the discrepancy in the case of discordant results between the lay user-performed SavvyCheck Vaginal Yeast Test and standard vaginal yeast culture and identification method for Candida.
The purpose of the study is to assess the success of a single administration of Staccato alprazolam compared with placebo both in rapidly terminating a seizure episode within 90 seconds and with no recurrence of seizure(s) up to 2 hours after investigational medicinal product (IMP) administration.
