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 study is conducted to see if ziltivekimab reduces the risk of having cardiovascular events (for example heart attack and stroke) in people with cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease and inflammation. Participants will either get ziltivekimab (active medicine) or placebo (a dummy medicine which has no effect on the body). This is known as the study medicine. Which treatment participants get is decided by chance. Participants chance of getting ziltivekimab or placebo is the same. Ziltivekimab is not yet approved in any country or region in the world. It is a new medicine doctors cannot prescribe. Participants will get the study medicine in a pre filled syringe. Participants will need to use the pre filled syringe to inject the study medicine into a skinfold once-monthly. The study is expected to last for up to 4 years. Participants will have up to 20 clinic visits. Participants will have blood and urine samples taken at most of the clinic visits. Participants will have their heart examined using sound waves (echocardiography) and electrodes (electrocardiogram). Women cannot take part if pregnant, breast-feeding or planning to get pregnant during the study period.
Adult-onset leukoencephalopathy with axonal spheroids and pigmented glia (ALSP) is a rare, rapidly progressing, genetic, neurodegenerative disease for which no definitive treatment options and limited information on the natural history of the disease are available. The structural, genetic, and neuropathophysiological abnormalities of ALSP lead to the onset of neurologic symptoms, such as moderate to severe motor and neuropsychiatric impairments. This natural history study will collect data to contribute to the development of future novel therapies that focus on the neuropathophysiological features that underlie ALSP and that are essential to reverse, delay, or stop progression of this debilitating disorder.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether the BCMA-CD3 bispecific antibody elranatamab, alone and/or in combination with the anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody, daratumumab, can provide more benefit to people with multiple myeloma compared to a combination therapy including daratumumab, pomalidomide, and dexamethasone. People with multiple myeloma who have received previous treatment including lenalidomide and a proteasome inhibitor will be enrolled in the study. Part 1 of the study will assess the safety and activity of different doses of elranatamab in combination with daratumumab. People participating in Part 2 of the study will be randomly assigned to receive either elranatamab alone, elranatamab plus daratumumab, or daratumumab, pomalidomide, and dexamethasone. Part 2 will compare the safety and activity of (1) elranatamab alone compared to daratumumab, pomalidomide, and dexamethasone, and (2) elranatamab plus daratumumab compared to daratumumab, pomalidomide, and dexamethasone. Participants in all parts of the study will receive study treatment until their disease progresses, they experience unacceptable side effects, or they choose to no longer participate in the study.
The CYTOHEP study is a prospective, randomized, single center, open-label, controlled intervention trial to assess the benefit of extracorporeal hemoadsorption using the CytoSorb device in patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure. The primary goal for this trial is to assess whether the CytoSorb device used in addition to continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) will be able to significantly reduce bilirubin in the patient blood as compared to the control group treated with CRRT alone (i.e., without extracorporeal hemoadsorption). The rationale for this study is based on considerations about the role of systemic inflammation in acute decompensation of liver cirrhosis and ACLF, in-vitro data of the effectiveness CytoSorb for the removal of molecules with a pathophysiological role in acute-on-chronic liver failure, and recent reports on the successful use of extracorporeal hemoadsorption in combination with CRRT in critically ill patients with acute liver dysfunction.
The primary objective of this study is to characterize the antibody response to seasonal influenza vaccine, in patients with active RRMS, treated with cladribine, compared to control individuals with basic immunomodulatory treatment. Serum antibody titers against the respective pathogen will be assessed prior to and 6 to 8 months following vaccination.
The objective of DIAGNODE-3 is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of three intranodal injections of 4 μg of Diamyd compared to placebo, along with oral Vitamin D supplementation, to preserve endogenous beta cell function and influence glycemic parameters in adolescent and adults recently diagnosed with T1D carrying the HLA DR3-DQ2 haplotype.
Constipation and defecation disorders affect about 15% of the European population and of those up to 30% of the patients over 65 years of age. For those affected, this is associated with major restrictions in quality of life and high health care costs . The underlying causes of constipation and defecation are complex and only partially understood. Intestinal (full wall) resections taken in clinical practice from these patients when conservative therapy has been exhausted show rarefaction of ganglion cell nests in the myenteric plexus and submucosal plexus as well as changes in cholinergic innervation. Initial histopathological investigations suggest an inflammatory genesis of this rarefaction of ganglion cell nests, which will be further characterised/investigated in the context of this study on the basis of further histopathological and serological investigations. This may lead to novel therapeutic approaches that can causally treat the symptoms of those affected.
The aim of the present study is the prospective controlled use of physical activity in a collective of patients with glioblastoma after surgery and concomitant radiation/chemotherapy and during adjuvant cytotoxic therapy. The research question is whether physical exercise is feasible and whether patients benefit physically and mentally from the activities performed. For this purpose, specific training units under the supervision of a certified trainer and sports scientist as well as standardized sports medical test procedures are implemented. Beyond the instructed training, general physical activity phases are recorded electronically using a pedometer/activity tracker, which is worn at all times. It will be examined whether the individual training program 1. improves physical fitness 2. increases quality of life/life satisfaction throughout the intervention 3. can be detected in blood due to increased concentrations of brain-derived neurotrophic factor 1 (BDNF-1) (voluntary) The measurements should be taken before and 8, 16 and 24 weeks after the start of training.
A single-center registry including all patients treated with TAVI at the Heart Center, Leipzig, Germany
This study will test a drug called enfortumab vedotin in participants with a type of bladder cancer called non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). This study will also evaluate what the side effects are and if the drug works to treat NMIBC. A side effect is anything a drug does to your body besides treating your disease. In this study enfortumab vedotin will be put into the bladder using a catheter. A catheter is a thin tube that can be put into your bladder.
