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 an exploratory observational biomarker study in approximately 100 eligible patients with resectable adenocarcinomas of the esophagus and gastro- esophageal junction (GEJ) type I-II (GEAC) to investigate the difference deletion frequency of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) between peripheral veins and tumor-draining veins (primary endpoint), prognostic value, relevance of a set of two additional blood-based biomarkers analyzed from a single blood sampling tube (secondary endpoints). The underlying hypothesis is that the biomarker alone or in combination improve preoperative staging and help to identify patients at risk for metastasis. This should enable a better stratification of GEAC patients to neo-adjuvant treatment, (intensified) peri-operative treatment, or even surgery alone, in selected cases. The data of the CIRCULATE study shall be used design subsequent studies testing the predictive role of these biomarkers for surgical management. Patients will provide blood samples and lymphatic fluid during the operation and annual blood samples during clinical follow up of 5 years.
This is an prospective, interventional, non-randomized multicenter phase II study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of Cabozantinib as a second-line therapy (after one prior systemic therapy) in patients with intermediate to advanced HCC (BCLC B/C) and concomitant impaired liver function CP score B7-8. Subjects who meet all study eligibility criteria will receive Cabozantinib 40 mg daily orally. Subjects will receive Cabozantinib as long as they continue to experience clinical benefit in the opinion of the Investigator or until there is unacceptable toxicity or the need for subsequent systemic anti-cancer treatment or liver directed local anti-cancer therapy. Treatment may continue in this fashion after radiographic progression as long as the Investigator believes that the subject is still receiving clinical benefit from Cabozantinib and that the potential benefit of continuing Cabozantinib outweighs potential risk. In addition, all subjects will be treated with best supportive care. This excludes systemic anti-cancer therapy and liver-directed local anti-cancer therapy.
This is a European observational cohort study (data research) involving multiple centres to look at the potential impact of COVID infection on patients with rare skin diseases examining factors such as comorbidity, protection factors, and clinical and/or therapeutic factors. The data collected may provide additional information on the situation of patients and, on a wider basis, provide useful data applicable to the general population.
Prospective, monocentric open-label observational study for the assessment of acute hemodynamic effects following implantation of the IMPELLA CP cardiac support device
In Patients with stable Angina pectoris CCS 1-3 exercise testing for ischemia detection is widely used despite the known limitations. Measurement of the FFR is invasive but gold standard for Ischemia detection. Adding of parameters of spiroergometer might help to improve diagnostic accuracy of non invasive exercise testing. Therefore the trial is evaluating diagnostic accuracy of spiroergometric parameters compared to invasive FFR measurement.
This is a Phase I dose-escalation and dose-expansion study that will evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and preliminary activity of GDC-6036 in patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors with a KRAS G12C mutation.
Neuropsychological and functional long-term consequences of subarachnoid hemorrhages (SAH) represent a great challenge, since sometimes considerable cognitive deficits occur without evidence of substantial brain damage. In this study, we want to examine if the frequently observed memory deficits are associated with hippocampal atrophy.
Arterial Fibrillation (AF) is well-recognized as a cause for cryptogenic Acute Ischemic Stroke (AIS) and is associated with Silent Brain Infarction (SBI). However, the role of AF in the formation of lesions (SBIs) is less well established than its role in AIS and needs clarification. The investigators hypothesize that continuous rhythm monitoring will yield a similar incidence of AF diagnosis in patients with SBI as compared to patients with cryptogenic AIS. The primary objective is to assess the cumulative incidence of AF diagnosis at 24 months in patients with SBI.
This randomized controlled exploratory phase II trial will test the hypothesis that oral dronabinol improves nightmares (primary outcome) and other PTSD symptoms (secondary outcomes) to a greater extent than placebo over a ten week intervention phase in a parallel group design.
It is not yet known whether an analysis of daytime sleepiness over the course of the day can predict the diagnosis or severity of sleep apnea. The goal of the study is to examine whether a psychometric determination of daytime sleepiness can adequately and practicably record daytime sleepiness in patients with mainly sleep apnea in comparison to other standardized methods.
