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.
Research question: The study investigates possible effects of the lifestyle product "Qi-Shield" on a subjective and (neuro-)physiological level. Thereby, effects on well-being, stress perception and the sleep quality as well as influencing factors like personality and beliefs are of particular interest. Sample and Design: In the study 90 test persons are to be tested in a double-blind pre-post between-subject design with three groups (real device (A) - sham device without effectiveness (also called placebo, B) - no device (C)). Measurement methods: Established questionnaires and scales as well as (neuro-)physiological methods comprising electroencephalography (EEG), electrocardiogram (ECG) and skin conductance level measure (electrodermal activity, EDA) during a 20 mins resting state measure with alternating eyes open and closed are used. Statistical evaluation: Group comparisons (A, B, C) in the difference between the measurement points (post - pre) on a subjective and (neuro-)physiological level.
This is a prospective observational trial investigating correlation with histopathology, positive predictive value, detection rate, reproducibility and impact on clinical management of 68-Ga-FAPI PET/CT or PET/MRI in patients receiving this imaging modality for tumor staging or restaging as part of clinical care.
The present study evaluates patients after interventional therapy of valvular diseases of the right heart. Follow-up examinations include medical history taking, laboratory measurements and an echo. The aim is to assess the different interventional therapies and their impact on patient's outcome.
Patients with breast cancer, who have completed first line therapy (e.g., radiotherapy, chemotherapy, surgery), and who have to be identified with having a high risk of recurrence of cancer, will be eligible for the study. This patient group is currently offered a standard of care chemotherapy plus endocrine therapy (ET). The study investigates whether the patient group with high-risk early breast cancer benefits from treatment with the medication abemaciclib in combination with ET compared to ET alone.
High-protein diets have been recently demonstrated to effectively reduce insulin resistance, derangements of the lipid profile and liver fat content in subjects with moderately and severely impaired glucose metabolism and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (LeguAN, LEMBAS, DiNA-P, DiNA-D). The effects can be attributed to prolonged insulin secretion and improved second meal effect, higher energy expenditure by urea synthesis, suppression of glucagon or other mechanisms. Up to now, it is unclear, if proteins with slower or faster digestibility lead to differential results in these study designs. The proposed study will elucidate this question. The Investigators hypothesize, that slowly-digestible proteins induce a prolonged insulin plateau supporting the second-meal effect. The investigators also assume, that these dietary proteins lead to a markedly stronger short-term secretion of glucagon followed by desensitisation of this hormone release. Fast-digestible proteins, on the other hand, will presumably induce a smaller second-meal effect and do not inhibit a second rise of glucagon in a consecutive meal. The investigators intend to study the effects of a 3-weeks high-protein diet in 80 subjects with NAFLD and T2DM on liver fat content (MR spectroscopy) and glucose metabolism. The investigators expect different results for slow protein (casein) and fast protein (whey), thus comparing both protein species. The two major clinical visits before and after the intervention period will include MRI spectroscopy, fasting blood sampling for later analysis, full anthropometric assessment, a mixed meal tolerance test and a set of behavioral tests, investigating decision making processes. In order to characterize the postprandial profiles (e.g. insulin, glucagon, amino acids) of the varying protein sources, preliminary meal tests are performed in overweight subjects with and without T2DM.
The objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ravulizumab administered by intravenous (IV) infusion compared to placebo and demonstrate proof-of-concept of the efficacy of terminal complement inhibition in participants with LN (LN Cohort) or IgAN (IgAN Cohort).
This is a randomized, double-blind study of rilzabrutinib in participants with persistent or chronic ITP, with an average platelet count of <30,000/μL (and no single platelet count >35,000/μL) on two counts at least 5 days apart in the 14 days before treatment begins. Participants will receive rilzabrutinib or placebo 400mg twice daily. For each participant, the study will last up to 60 weeks from the start of the Screening Period to the End of Study (EOS) visit. This includes Screening (up to 4 weeks) through a 12 to 24-week Blinded Treatment Period followed by a 28-week Open-Label Period. Followed by a 4-week post dose follow-up. For adult participants, the maximum duration of the long-term extension (LTE) period will be 12 months from the date of the last adult participant to enter the LTE. For pediatric participants, the maximum duration of the LTE period will be 12 months from the date of the last pediatric participant to enter the LTE.
This is a global, multicenter Phase 1/3 study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of selinexor plus ruxolitinib in JAK inhibitor (JAKi) treatment-naïve myelofibrosis (MF) participants. The study will be conducted in two phases: Phase 1 (open-label) and Phase 3 (double-blind). Phase 1 (enrollment completed) was an open-label evaluation of the safety and recommended dose (RD) of selinexor in combination with ruxolitinib and included a dose escalation using a standard 3+3 design (Phase 1a) and a dose expansion part (Phase 1b). In Phase 3, JAKi treatment-naïve MF participants are enrolled in 2:1 ratio to receive the combination therapy of selinexor + ruxolitinib or the combination of placebo + ruxolitinib.
The purpose of this study is to: - Describe epidemiological and clinical characteristics, natural history and real-world clinical management of ATTR amyloidosis patients - Characterize the safety and effectiveness of patisiran and vutrisiran as part of routine clinical practice in the real-world clinical setting - Describe disease emergence/progression in pre-symptomatic carriers of a known disease-causing transthyretin (TTR) variant
In this study the investigators are examining the neuronal processes of a mindfulness based emotion regulation training for reducing depressive rumination. The research of depressive rumination helps in the developement of new therapies for depressive disorders. Goal of this project is to have a look at the coherences between stress, mindfulness resources, depressive rumination and their neuronal correlates. Therefore the investigators are collecting the data of 48 patients with a depressive diagnosis in a randomized intervention-study with a treatment as usual (TAU) waiting-control-list versus an active intervention group. An additional 48 healthy control subjects are planned to be measured.
