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.

Invasive mold infections (IMI) mainly affect patients with hematologic malignancies receiving intensive chemotherapy or after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Prolonged neutropenia after remission induction chemotherapy (>10 days duration) and continuous immunosuppression in the context of prevention or therapy of graft versus host disease (GVHD) for HSCT recipients (first 100 days post-transplantation and thereafter if GVHD is present) are considered as periods at high risk of IMI. Posaconazole prophylaxis is prescribed according to current guidelines to reduce the occurrence of IMI. Nevertheless, breakthrough IMI (bIMI), i.e. IMI occurring under mold-active prophylaxis, are still observed. The investigators hypothesized that the epidemiology of bIMI (under posaconazole prophylaxis) differs from that of IMI occurring in the absence of mold-active antifungal prophylaxis. Because bIMI are rare events since the introduction of posaconazole prophylaxis, epidemiological data of bIMI are scarce. This study aims to i) describe the epidemiology, clinical features, treatment and outcome of bIMI, ii) assess the causes of bIMI, iii) determine potential risk factors associated with the developllement of bIMI iv) assess the impact of bIMI on overall mortality. Design Retrospective and prospective, observational, case-control, multicenter, international study. The retrospective part will enroll previously identified bIMI cases and control cases (1:2) over the last five years: October 1st 2015 to September 30st 2020. The prospective part will enroll bIMI cases and control cases (1:2) occurring over a two-year period: October 1st 2020 to September 30st 2022. Setting The aim is to enroll 10 to 15 European centers with dedicated units for hematologic cancer patients. Currently, six centers have confirmed their participation (from Switzerland and Germany). Study Population Adult (≥ 18 years old) patients with a hematologic malignancy receiving posaconazole prophylaxis during induction, consolidation or re-induction chemotherapy or after HSCT. Cases : patients receiving posaconazole prophylaxis for at least 7 days and diagnosed with bIMI proven or probable according to EORTC-MSGERC. Controls: patients receiving posaconazole prophylaxis for at least 7 days, without diagnosis of bIMI possible, probable or proven according to EORTC-MSGERC. The objective is to enroll about 100 bIMI cases and 200 controls.
Palliative Sedation (PS) is defined as the intentional lowering of consciousness of a patient in the last phase of life, to relieve patients suffering from refractory symptoms. For those symptoms all possible effective treatments, within an acceptable timeframe, are exhausted. Several studies have been performed about palliative sedation, mostly focusing on continuous deep sedation, with the use of various measurements to monitor its effect. Efficacy of continuous palliative sedation has been monitored by agitation/distress levels, symptom control, levels of sedation/awareness, comfort, safety and family/caregivers satisfaction. Differences between studies occur, for instance in definition, application and monitoring. Consequently reported outcomes and associated treatment goals differ between studies which makes it difficult to compare the results. Within this international multicenter observational study, the investigators aim to evaluate the effects of palliative sedation on patient's comfort levels. Participants with different forms and intensity of palliative sedation (intermittent and continuous, from light to deep) are included in a prospective design as part of an international study. Objectives: 1. To evaluate the effect of palliative sedation on participants' comfort and other symptoms in different international hospices, palliative care units and hospital ward settings. 2. To assess the clinical practice of palliative sedation in different international care settings and the accompanying costs and consequences. Study design: Prospective observational multicentre study in hospices, palliative care units and hospital ward settings in five European countries (Belgium, Germany, Italy, Spain, The Netherlands).
This study will assess whether switching participants who have benefitted from mepolizumab or benralizumab to GSK3511294 (Depemokimab) is non-inferior to maintaining current treatment on the annualized rate of clinically significant exacerbations in participants with severe asthma with an eosinophilic phenotype. Throughout the study, all participants will continue their non-biologic Baseline standard of care (SoC) asthma treatment.
This non-interventional study aims to investigate change over time in cognitive function, sleep quality, and activity in daily life as important determinants of QoL in a large cohort of GBM patients in Germany treated with TTFields in routine clinical care using low-threshold, electronic PRO and modern automated tracking data analyses. The gained results will allow even better understanding of TTFields therapy in daily life of GBM patients and consequently, better informing patients about what to expect when starting this therapy, increasing therapy compliance in the long-term.
The purpose of this Phase 3 study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Luspatercept compared with placebo in subjects with myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN)-associated Myelofibrosis (MF) and anemia on concomitant Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) inhibitor therapy and who require red blood cell count (RBC) transfusions. The study is divided into Screening Period, a Treatment Phase (consisting of a Blinded Core Treatment Period, a Day 169 Response Assessment, a Blinded Extension Treatment Period, and an Open-label Extension Treatment Period), and a Posttreatment Follow-up Period. Following the Day 169 Response Assessment, subjects who did not show clinical benefit will have the option to unblind. Subjects who were on placebo during the Blinded Core Treatment Period will have the opportunity to crossover into the Open-Label Extension Treatment Period and receive Luspatercept.
Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by dysfunction of motile cilia associated with recurrent infections of the airways, laterality defects (Situs inversus totalis in about 50% of cases) and fertility problems. At present, mutations in > 45 genes associated with PCD and mucociliary clearance disorders have been identified, representing most likely two thirds of all human cases. Aim of this study are: - Correlation between genotype and lung function of patients with genetically confirmed PCD in an international cohort on a longitudinal basis - Determination of further parameters, such as body mass index (BMI), possibly associated with lung function in genetically confirmed PCD patients

Follow-up of participants of BANON1 study at age of at least 2 years. BANON1 (ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT03357250): Validation of biomarkers based on 24 months neuro-developmental outcome data in a human population for their ability to diagnose the severity of neonatal asphyxia. These biomarkers linked to asphyxia have been identified in animal studies and a preliminary human study.
The proposed study is an international randomized phase II, multicenter, open-label, three arms trial to assess best supportive care (BSC) vs OSE2101 and vs OSE2101 + pembrolizumab as maintenance treatment for patients with platinum sensitive relapsed ovarian cancers, previously treated with chemotherapy (regardless of the number of prior lines of platinum-based chemotherapy), bevacizumab (if eligible) and a PARP inhibitor (if eligible). Patients in Complete Response, Partial Response, or Stable Disease at the end of chemotherapy with at least 4 cycles of platinum based chemotherapy will be randomized in one of the three arms (randomization 1:1:2). They will receive one or the two study treatments or BSC until progression, or intolerance, or up to 2 years (from 1st study treatment dose).
