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.
CT-Staging is crucial for therapy planning of patients with malignancies. Dose efficiency and image quality are important parameters for these examinations. Up to now, scientific evidence of dose efficiency of modern CT scanners is mostly derived from retrospective analyses. This prospective study systematically analyzes dose efficiency and image quality of three modern CT scanners by randomization of patients who are scheduled for a CT scan to examine the status of malignancies. After giving informed consent and randomization (1:1:1), the CT scan will be performed at one of the modern CT scanners available at our department. This will allow a systematic allocation to the different scanners.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of efavaleukin alfa on induction of clinical remission in participants with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC). Participants will be randomized to receive 1 of 3 efavaleukin alfa doses or placebo during a 12-week induction period. Participants who complete the 12-week induction period will have the option to enter an exploratory long-term treatment period for up to 40 weeks (total of up to 52 weeks of treatment) if, in the opinion of the investigator, they may benefit from continued treatment. During the long-term period, participants randomized to efavaleukin alfa will remain on the same efavaleukin alfa blinded dose; participants randomized to placebo who achieved clinical response at week 12 will remain on placebo; and placebo non-responders (ie, participants randomized to placebo who did not achieve clinical response at week 12) will receive efavaleukin alfa in a blinded manner during continued treatment. All participants will complete a safety follow-up visit 6 weeks after their last dose of investigational product.
The hyper- or hypo-attribution of risks is deeply related to the core pathological mechanisms of mental disorders and at the same time engaging in risky behaviors influences their course and outcomes. The investigators study risk perception, risk behaviors and underlying brain mechanisms in a longitudinal design in three groups of psychiatric patients who participate in a psychological intervention that is aimed to reduce risk behavior and increase risk perception. Patients with schizophrenia (SZ), alcohol use disorder (AUD) and both disorders (SZ + AUD) are recruited during psychiatric in-patient treatment and participate in a combined face-to-face and mobile intervention that starts before release and ends four weeks after discharge. The standardized 4-session face-to-face group intervention that is based on motivational interviewing (Miller & Rollnick, 2013) and relapse prevention (Marlatt & Donovan, 2005) and addresses the reduction of disorder-specific risk behaviors, i.e. alcohol use for AUD and SZ+AUD and medication non-adherence for SZ. After discharge, a 4-week ecological momentary intervention (EMI) supports participants to maintain abstinence from risk behaviors and to strengthen coping in high-risk situations relying on mental contrasting and implementation intentions (Oettingen & Gollwitzer, 2011). Participants will be assessed in fMRI and behavioral measurements and by self-report pre and post interventional phase, furthermore they participate in an ecological momentary assessment during the post-discharge phase which assesses risk behaviors, high-risk situations and risk perception in real life contexts.
The objective of this national, prospective, multi-centre observational study is to describe the prescription rational and practice in Germany, confirm the efficacy of caplacizumab in a real-world setting, and identify predicting factors in iTTP-patients with regard to persistent autoimmune activity, therapy guidance and risk of complications. The rational is to develop new treatment algorithms that optimize overall patient outcome and reduce treatment cost.
This is an open-label multicenter randomized non comparative phase II study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the monoclonal anti-KIR3DL2 antibody Lacutamab in patients with Refractory/Relapsing (R/R) KIR3DL2 positive Peripheral T Cell Lymphoma (PTCL) : Not Other Specified (NOS), PTCL-TFH (including Angioimmunoblastic T-cell Lymphoma (AITL), Follicular T-cell lymphoma, Nodal peripheral T-cell lymphoma with TFH phenotype), Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL), Adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL), Hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma (HSTL), Enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma (EATL), Monomorphic epitheliotropic intestinal T cell lymphoma (MEITL), NK-T cell lymphoma (NKT) and Aggressive NK-cell leukemia (ANKL). The design is non comparative meaning that non comparison between arms will be performed as the control arm will ensure that the assumptions used for sample size calculation are verified. For that reason, randomization is unbalanced in favor of the experimental arm (2:1).
This is a Phase I, first-in-human, randomised, double-blinded, placebo-and active-controlled study to assess the safety, tolerability, PK, PD, efficacy, and food-effect of IDG-16177 in healthy male subjects and patients with T2DM at different dose levels.
The purpose of this study is to describe the natural history and progression of patients diagnosed with PH1, and to characterize the long-term real-world safety and effectiveness of lumasiran.
The selection of the optimal antithrombotic therapy in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (AF) and acute coronary syndrome (ACS) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is challenging. Until recently, triple antithrombotic therapy (TAT) consisting in Aspirin plus Clopidogrel plus OAC was considered the treatment of choice. While efficiently preventing ischaemic events, TAT is associated with an increase in bleeding complications. Therefore, in the past years several randomized controlled trials challenged TAT by comparing a triple antithrombotic therapy (TAT) regimen based on Vitamin K antagonists (VKA) to a dual antithrombotic regimen (DAT) based on non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) and P2Y12-inhibitors, mainly Clopidogrel in patients with AF undergoing PCI. However, approximately 30-40% of patients show low response to Clopidogrel and are not adequately protected against ischaemic events, in particular when presenting with ACS. This is supported by a recent meta-analysis reporting that TAT compared to DAT is associated with lower rates of stent thrombosis within 30 days after PCI. It is therefore reasonable to assume that a more potent platelet inhibition within the first month after PCI might reduce the rate of ischaemic complications observed in AF patients undergoing PCI, when receiving DAT. Moreover, a subsequent de-escalation to a less potent platelet inhibition one month after PCI might prevent an increase in bleeding complications. In EPIDAURUS the investigators will therefore test the hypothesis that DAT using NOAC plus an escalated antiplatelet therapy with a potent P2Y12-inhibitor for one month followed by Clopidogrel reduces ischaemic events without a relevant increase in bleeding complications in patients with AF and ACS undergoing PCI compared to standard DAT with NOAC plus Clopidogrel.
