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 is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, Phase 2/3 study comparing the efficacy and safety of BLU-263 + best supportive care (BSC) with placebo + BSC in patients with indolent systemic mastocytosis (ISM) whose symptoms are not adequately controlled by BSC. Parts 1 and 2 will enroll patients with ISM. Patients enrolled in Part 1 or Part 2 will roll over onto Part 3 to receive treatment with BLU-263 in an open-label fashion following completion of the earlier Part. Part M will enroll patients with monoclonal mast cell activation syndrome (mMCAS). The study also includes PK groups that will enroll patients with ISM.
Collect real-world post-market clinical follow-up data on patients treated with the GORE® VIABAHN® Endoprosthesis with PROPATEN Bioactive Surface (VSX)
As patients age, symptom control and treatment of atrial fibrillation become equally difficult, often leading to increased hospitalization. ABLATE versus PACE is a prospective, randomized clinical trial comparing pacemaker implantation with AV node ablation with pulmonary vein isolation in terms of rehospitalization and quality of life in patients with persistent AF aged 75 years and older.
This randomized clinical trial study aims to investigate the impact of home-based differential learning on tooth brushing, in particular on the reduction of plaque and maintenance of gingival health in children aged 3 to 8 years, compared to the habitual tooth brushing and instruction/demonstration tooth brushing learning method.
To demonstrate the effectiveness of the SpaceOAR Vue System in reducing late gastrointestinal (GI) toxicity in subjects undergoing Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) to treat prostate cancer.
The aim of this study is to discover inflammatory changes in the gastrointestinal tract in adult patients with suspicion of a chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) by examining the entire bowel, including the small intestine, by using a video capsule. The study compares the video capsule endoscopy with colonoscopy with the question of inflammation and patient satisfaction with the respective examinations. The study is aimed at participants who present to a gastroenterologist because of their complaints like persistent abdominal pain or diarrhea. An infectious genesis and celiac disease must be ruled out in advance. In addition, the determination of the fecal calprotectin (fCal) is necessary for this study. Fecal calprotectin is a stool marker for the severity of an inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract, an increased fecal calprotectin can be an initial indication for the presence of a chronic inflammatory bowel disease. As mentioned above, participants will be examined in one of two ways: either with an examination of the small and large intestines using video capsule endoscopy in one examination (i.e. ,panintestinal capsule endoscopy', PICE) or a colonoscopy is performed as the standard treatment. Which of the two methods is used will be decided by lot, electronically controlled. Colon cleansing is necessary in preparation for both examinations. The advantage of being assigned to the video capsule group is, in addition to showing the entire intestine in one examination, that no sedation is necessary for this examination. In addition to the examination, participants have to fill out a questionnaire with information about their state of affairs, their well-being and their experience with the examination. After a period of six month the participants will be contact by phone to inquire about their current state of health.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), immunogenicity and preliminary efficacy of VAY736 alone or in combination with other therapies in patients with NHL in a platform trial.
In a prospective study, the influence of adjuvant radiotherapy in patients with non-metastatic breast carcinoma on the epithelial tumor cells (CETCs) circulating in the blood and their immunohistochemical characteristics depending on age will be investigated. In addition to a histopathological assignment of the CETCs as cells of the primary tumor, major trigger points of the immune system will be exploratively analyzed. For this purpose, blood samples are taken from the patients at different time points after tumor resection and during adjuvant radiotherapy. In addition to the detection, isolation and genetic characterization of the CETCs, the determination of immunological biomarkers by immunophenotyping, among other methods, is planned. Furthermore, analyses of tissue from the primary tumor with respect to immunohistochemical features as well as tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) are planned. The results will be classified and correlated especially with regard to patient age. As there are insufficient data available for breast carcinoma regarding radiotherapeutic effects on the immune system depending on patient age, it is of great interest to better understand these molecular biological basics in order to identify potential prognostic biomarkers.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the efficacy of 9-valent extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli vaccine (ExPEC9V) compared to placebo in the prevention of the first invasive extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli disease (IED) event caused by ExPEC9V O-serotypes.
Interventional closure of patent foramen ovale (PFO) associates with reduced risk of stroke recurrence in patients with cryptogenic ischemic stroke as reported in the recent CLOSE and REDUCE trials. The long-term follow-up results of the RESPECT and DEFENSE-PFO trial confirmed these findings. PFO closure is therefore recommended in patient with cryptogenic ischemic stroke and PFO according to the current German interdisciplinary guidelines. It is likely that the number of PFO closure procedures will increase significantly in the near future. However, new onset atrial fibrillation (AF) appears to increase in patients following this procedure. In the REDUCE study, new onset atrial fibrillation was detected in 6.6% patients in the PFO closure group compared with 0.4% in the control group (medical treatment); 59% of these patients were diagnosed within the first two weeks following the procedure and 83% within 45 days, respectively. These results were consistent with the CLOSE study: AF was detected in 4.6% patients in the intervention group vs. 0.9% in the control group. Up until today, markers to identify and quantify the individual risk of AF onset are lacking. Furthermore, under-reporting and under-detection of AF occurrence after PFO closure is likely. This study is designed to to assess the prevalence and and identification of electrophysiological and echocardiographic parameters of new-onset AF.
