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.
The main objective of this double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled study is to assess the benefit and tolerability of Arterin Cholesterol in subjects with elevated lipid levels within a 12-week period of use.
This study is an open-label, single arm, multicenter, roll-over extension study to characterize long-term safety, tolerability and efficacy of iptacopan and to provide access to iptacopan to patients with PNH who have completed Novartis-sponsored Phase 2 or 3 studies with iptacopan
NAPKON-HAP is the deep phenotyping platform of the National Pandemic Cohort Network (NAPKON) in Germany. NAPKON is a data and biospecimen collection of patients with COVID-19 and is part of the University Medicine Network (NUM) in Germany. The primary objective of the study is to provide a comprehensive collection of data and biosamples for researchers from national consortia and for participation in international research collaborations for studying COVID-19 and future pandemics. Data is collected from patients with COVID-19 three times per week during their hospitalization and at follow-up visits after hospital discharge 3, 6, 12, 24, and 36 months after symptom onset. Data include epidemiological and demographic parameters, medical history and potential risk factors, documentation of routine medical procedures, and clinical course, including different patterns of organ involvement, quality of care, morbidity, and quality of life. Moreover, extensive serial high-quality bio sampling consisting of various sample types is performed to allow deep molecular, immunological, and virological phenotyping. Patients not requiring Intensive Care Unit (ICU)/ Intermediate Care (IMC) treatment will receive 7 and patients requiring ICU/IMC treatment will receive 16 full-phenotyping visits including sampling for biobanking. During hospitalisation the planned blood sampling rate in total is 35 ml at each visit. The total amounts and/or sampling dates may differ according to the ethics committee's regulations for different study centers. At follow-up visits, the clinical assessment includes an update of the medical history and recent medical events from which additional clinical data is collected (i.e. outpatient CT-scans, echocardiography, external laboratory data). Clinical symptoms are recorded and a physical examination will be performed. Vital signs are recorded and routine blood testing and biosampling is continued. Quality of life is measured with patient-reported outcome questionnaires. Follow-up visits at months 3 and 12 are "deep phenotyping" visits with a comprehensive and detailed set of examinations. In the following visits at months 24 and 36, only examinations with pathologic results from the last deep phenotyping visit at month 12 will be performed. A shorter follow-up visit to record quality of life, recent medical events and with a reduced number of examinations focusing on cardiorespiratory performance will take place at month 6. In case of relevant medical events, new medical information or changes in the participant´s health status, an unscheduled visit can take place anytime within the entire study period. Data collection during follow up includes standardized quality of life assessment including PROMIS® (Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System). The pulmonary characterization will include body plethysmography, diffusion capacity, respiratory muscles strength measurement, spiroergometry, capillary blood gas analysis and lung imaging studies (low-dose Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the lung). Cardiological phenotyping includes echocardiography, electrocardiogram (ECG), 24h-ECG, 24h-blood pressure monitoring, stress cardiac MRI and pulse wave analysis. Neurocognitive testing includes brain MRI, electroencephalogram (EEG), somatosensory testing, refractometry (Visit 3 and 12 months), physical activity test, neurocognitive tests, somatosensory phenotyping, taste- and smell-test. Endocrinological phenotyping will incorporate Advanced Glycation Endproducts (AGE) reader, continuous glucose monitoring for 14 days, Air Displacement Plethysmography (ADP) or bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA).
The goal of the HARMONIC-RT study is to evaluate late health and social outcomes of contemporary techniques of external beam radiotherapy in paediatric patients, based on the setting-up of a European, long-term registry complemented by a biobank.
This is a prospective, multi-center, observational study that will enroll patients receiving dialysis (hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis) or patients with kidney transplantation who will be vaccinated against COVID-19.
A study using medical records to evaluate safety issues for the NOCDURNA drug using national register data from Denmark and Sweden, and a health care register covering parts of Germany.
Autophagy is considered one of the key molecular mechanisms for the broad preventive and therapeutic effects of periodic fasting. While it is generally known that fasting induces autophagy, there are no human studies that focus on the size and temporal kinetics of autophagy and its association with fasting specific signaling pathways. The kinetics of autophagy in patients with chronic diseases will now be compared with the kinetics of autophagy in healthy subjects, who both fast according to the same scheme; and further changes in metabolic and inflammatory parameters will be investigated.
The proposed study will investigate respiratory aerosols in SARS-CoV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona Virus 2) positive and negative children and adults with the Resp-Aer-Meter (Palas GmbH). For this purpose, first, the measurement of respiratory aerosols (particle sizes and concentration) with the Resp-Aer-Meter will be established. Thereafter, a comparison between polymerase chain reaction (PCR) SARS-CoV-2 positive and negative participants (children and adults) will be conducted. In addition to the measurement of aerosols, the clinical symptoms, lung function (FEV1) and laboratory inflammatory markers will be analyzed.
In this prospective, open, single-armed, multicenter, phase II study for application of 5-ALA in children and adolescents with supratentorial brain tumors 80 patients will be investigated. Primary objective of the study is to determine the safety of 5-ALA for fluorescence-guided resections in children and adolescents with supratentorial, intra-axial brain tumors. Secondary objectives are - to determine whether fluorescent tissue truly signifies tumor (positive predictive value) in various pediatric brain tumors - to determine the degree of tumor resection on early post-operative MRI - and to determine the pharmacokinetics of 5-ALA in this population.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the accuracy of the current diagnostic criteria of cardiac sarcoidosis.
