There are about 25364 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.
Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) are the third-most abundant component in mothers' milk and are an important prebiotic factor for the development of the gut microbiota of infants, promoting the growth of certain beneficial bacterial strains and providing protection against many bacterial and viral infections. HMOs induce immunomodulatory activity by affecting immune cell populations and functions. In a simulator of the adult human intestinal microbial ecosystem, fermentation of HMOs led to an increase of bifidobacteria in parallel with an increase in short-chain fatty acids as well as a reduction in inflammation markers, supporting the potential of HMOs to provide health benefits also in adults. Long-term stay in microgravity induces many physiological responses, including diminished immune function and impaired glucose tolerance which may lead to rather severe consequences. Similarly, hypoxia conditions as in the Concordia station, affects the immune system and may lead to impaired glucose tolerance and insulin resistance. The hypothesis is that HMOs as a prebiotic supplement will mitigate changes in immune function, glucose tolerance, lipid homeostasis, and neurotransmitter production. It is expected that HMO supplementation will - Modulate gut microbiota composition and function - Improve inflammation status - Improve immune function - Improve glucose tolerance - Improve nutritional status - Prevent changes in neurotransmitters associated with anxiety and depression. During the stay in Antarctica an HMO blend will be supplemented to the verum group of volunteers. The control group will receive a placebo. Experiment days with blood drawing, an oral glucose tolerance test, saliva sampling, and feces samples are planned once before, about every second month in Concordia, and once after return.
This study will collect medical and background information from participants with diseases that affect the heart and blood vessels (cardiovascular disease). Participants will continue their normal care and will not get any treatment other than those the study doctor has prescribed.
Continuation study to provide continued access to latozinemab for participants who have previously participated in a latozinemab study
In previous studies, Speech Enhancer has been shown to improve Listening Effort using a subjective method. To overcome the weakness of subjective testing, this study uses an objective measurement that has shown convincing results in previous studies addressing Listening Effort.
Congenital Portosystemic Shunt (CPSS) is a rare condition important by the multiplicity and severity of associated complications. CPSS is venous anomaly in which blood coming from the intestines only partially passes through the liver. This leads to the accumulation of potentially toxic factors that cause systemic effects. Complications vary among the individuals, and currently, it is challenging to predict which individuals will develop severe complications. The IRCPSS registry is established with the aim of centralizing detailed clinical follow-up and biological information from participants around the world who suffer from Congenital Portosystemic Shunt (CPSS). A multidisciplinary consortium of experts is collaborating to enhance our understanding of the prevalence, natural history, individual risks, and physiopathology of the disease through the IRCPSS registry.
The system accuracy of 14 blood glucose monitoring systems is to be evaluated randomly in accordance with DIN EN ISO 15197:2015 over thr courese of 24 months
This is a long-term follow-up of a completed clinical trial which compared percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using sirolimus-eluting stents and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients with unprotected left main coronary artery disease. The purpose of the study is to obtain retrospective long-term data on clinical outcome of the study population.
The purpose of this study is to collect clinical and radiological mid-term (min. 1 year) data on the ArcadiusXP L® lumbar stand-alone cage in a post-market clinical follow-up study (PMCF) limited to 60 patients.
TransCon CNP administered once-weekly in children and adolescents with achondroplasia who have completed a prior TransCon CNP clinical trial. Participants who complete a prior TransCon CNP trial and meet all eligibility criteria will be invited to continue into the long-term open label extension trial to receive 100 µg CNP/kg/week of TransCon CNP. Trial treatment will be completed when the participant reaches 16 years of age for females and 18 years of age for males and have femur and tibial epiphyseal closure. TransCon CNP treatment will continue if femur and tibial epiphyseal closure is not confirmed at the age of 16 years for females, and 18 years for males. Treatment with TransCon CNP will be completed once femur and tibial epiphyseal closure is confirmed by radiographic imaging. The trial duration is individual for each trial participant. Visits will occur every 12-14 weeks throughout the trial.
The main aim of this study is to learn if fazirsiran is safe during long-term use in people with liver disease caused by the abnormal Z-alpha-1 antitrypsin (Z-AAT) protein. People who are currently taking part in or have completed previous fazirsiran studies (AROAAT2001 [NCT03945292] or AROAAT2002 [NCT03946449]) can continue to receive fazirsiran in this study. Participants will receive fazirsiran every 3 months for almost 2 years and will then be followed for an additional 6 months. The study may also provide information on whether fazirsiran has a long-term effect in reducing liver fibrosis or slowing down the progression of liver fibrosis in people with liver disease due to the abnormal Z-AAT protein.
