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 study shall determine the clinical performance of the BÜHLMANN fecal pancreatic elastase (fPELA) assays in the diagnosis of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (PEI). This is a observational and cross-sectional performance study. Specimens and clinical data are collected by a single study site. Included are subjects for which pancreatic elastase testing was indicated due to a suspected exocrine pancreatic insufficiency and which were at least 18 years of age. Subjects which suffered from diarrhea (stool water content ≥ 75%) at the time of sample collection are excluded from the study.
Safety and Effectiveness Evaluation of Seraph 100 Microbind Affinity Blood Filter (Seraph 100) in the treatment of patients with COVID-19
Recently published studies could demonstrate that detection of specific biomarkers in breath could be applied for the diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2.
The purpose of this registry is to collect safety and performance data on all commercially available Terumo Aortic knitted and woven grafts, and cardiovascular patches in standard clinical practice. Data will be collected both retrospectively and prospectively.
This study has been set up within the framework of the INNODIA network. INNODIA is a global partnership between 31 academic institutions, 6 industrial partners, a small sized enterprise and 2 patient organizations, bringing their knowledge and experience together with one common goal: "To fight type 1 diabetes". (www.innodia.eu) The overall aim of INNODIA is to advance in a decisive way how to predict, stage, evaluate and prevent the onset and progression of type 1 diabetes (T1D). For this, INNODIA has established a comprehensive and interdisciplinary network of clinical and basic scientists, who are leading experts in the field of T1D research in Europe and UK (United Kingdom), with complementary expertise from the areas of immunology, Beta-cell biology, biomarker research and T1D therapy, joining forces in a coordinated fashion with industry partners and two foundations, as well as with all major stakeholders in the process, including regulatory bodies and patients with T1D and their families.
Evaluation of the individual cardiovascular risk profile of patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) using 24-hour ambulatory long-term blood pressure measurement and pulse wave analysis
The main objective of this study is to establish the safety as well as the efficacy of local insertion of Iloprost at the fracture site for bone healing of the proximal humeral fracture. The study will have two treatment groups and one control group. All patients will receive the standard of care procedure (reduction and angular stable (PHILOS) plate fixation). The two treatment groups will additionally be treated with two different Iloprost doses. Subjects will be assessed for study eligibility within 24h after admission (screening period). Eligible subjects will be assessed for baseline parameters on day 0. Within 96 hours of the study, subjects will undergo surgery, reduction, and angular stable (PHILOS) plate fixation. During the procedure, a catheter will be inserted in the fracture site of the treatment groups in order to deliver the Iloprost locally in the fracture site. The expected total duration of study participation for each subject comprises 52 weeks, among which 26 weeks include active study participation. At the study end, a telephone call with the subjects will be performed for safety assessment. Recruitment will be completed in approximately 18 months. Follow up visits following the surgical operation shall take place during weeks 3, 6, 12, and 26. The last follow-up will be a phone call during week 52 for the purpose of safety assessment.
This study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of ravulizumab in adult and adolescent participants with hematopoietic stem cell transplant-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (HSCT-TMA). In Stage 1, an open-label, single-arm period, the dosing regimen will be confirmed. In Stage 2, participants will be randomized to receive either blinded ravulizumab plus best supportive care or matching placebo plus best supportive care. The treatment period is 26 weeks (open-label for Stage 1, and randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled for Stage 2) followed by a 26-week follow-up period.
Dysphagia and the intensive care unit-acquired weakness (ICU-AW) are common and outcome-relevant neuromuscular complications in critically ill patients, especially after prolonged mechanical ventilation, sepsis and multi-organ failure. However, the impact of these two complications on the clinical course of critically ill patients needs further investigation. Furthermore, the standard diagnostic procedure to detect and grade the acquired dysphagia using the fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) and the Medical Research Council sum score (MRC-ss) to detect ICU-AW are time-consuming and strongly dependent on patient compliance. An early and easy-to-use detection of these neuromuscular complications is currently difficult to be achieved in this patient population. Neuromuscular ultrasound (NMUS) and the measurement of neuromuscular damage blood biomarkers became increasingly interesting for clinical researchers in the recent years due to their broad availability and their simple and non-invasive application. However, the value of these new diagnostic tests to evaluate dysphagia and ICU-AW needs to be verified.
The objectives of this clinical trial are to assess, for up to 5 years, the safety, tolerability and pharmacological activity of a single ascending doses of VTX-801, a gene therapy, administered intravenously (IV) to adult patients with Wilson's Disease prior to and following background WD therapy withdrawal.
