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 goal of this project is to develop the international validation of two new rating scales, the Neuropsychiatric Fluctuations Scale (NFS) and the Shame in PARKinson's disease (SPARK) Scale, in order to improve the understanding of the extent and severity of non-motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease (PD).
This clinical phase II study is designed to investigate the efficacy of intratumorally administered L19IL2/L19TNF in patients with injectable lesions of BCC or cSCC. Favorable tumor responses following intralesional treatment with L19IL2/L19TNF have been observed in patients with injectable melanoma lesions of stage III or IV, for injected and non-injected lesions. The proposed clinical phase II study plans to investigate the intralesional administration of 6.5 Mio IU of L19IL2 (~1.08 mg) and 200 µg of L19TNF to be administered in an approximate volume of 1.0 mL as a single or multiple intratumoral injections in patients with high-risk BCC or cSCC. There is a high medical need for non-invasive therapeutic strategies with a comparable good response rate and high recurrence free survival for treatment of patients with BCC or cSCC, who cannot be treated by or refuse surgery. Surgery is not always applicable, as it may not be feasible due to the anatomic location, may have a poor cosmetic outcome for the patient or is generally not accepted as treatment strategy by the patient. However, current non-surgical treatment strategies have a considerably reduced response rate and recurrence free survival. Based on the favorable results for injected and non-injected lesions obtained in the phase II study of L19IL2/L19TNF and the good safety profile seen in the subsequent phase III study, both in stage III or IV melanoma patients, we believe, that patients with BCC or cSCC will profit from intralesional treatment with L19IL2/L19TNF.
GEIST is a multicenter, international observational registry of patients with Takotsubo syndrome. Data regarding the clinical profile (demographic characteristics, clinical presentation, laboratory measures, electrocardiography /echocardiography / coronary angiography parameters, treatment and medication), in-hospital course and complications and short-/long-term outcome are collected prospectively and retrospectively to increase the understanding of the disease.
The purpose of this registry study is to investigate the effectiveness and safety of the Seraph® 100 Microbind® Affinity Blood Filter (Seraph 100) in the treatment of COVID-19 patients.
To better understand the immune response to SARS-CoV-2 infection, we devised a precision immunology approach to systematically study the immune function of different patient cohorts
This registry is a prospective observational study in order to describe primarily the natural course of PP subtypes and to gain detailed information about their phenotype.
In this observational pilot study, we assess the diagnostic performance of an artificial intelligence sytem for automated detection of colorectal polyps.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of an 8-week high-intensity interval training (HIIT) or HIIT plus resistance training program combined with post-exercise protein supplementation on cardiorespiratory fitness and cardiometabolic risk indices in previously untrained individuals.
The influence of an individualized sports program on dilated cardiomyopathy patients will be investigated in a randomized, prospective intervention study. 300 patients with dilated cardiomyopathy are included and examined over a period of 13 months. All participants will receive an Apple Watch, which serves for monitoring of activity and symptoms.The primary endpoint of the study is the change in maximum oxygen intake. In addition, the changes in well-being, objective parameters of cardiac function and the subject's compliance to his excercise program are of interest as secondary endpoints and for further exploratory research. In addition, the safety of a personalized sports program is evaluated. Molecules circulating in the blood (including proteins, RNA) are beeing measured at the beginning and in the course of the training program in order to be able to derive a connection between the training and the changed cardiovascular function. A gene analysis will be carried out, which serves to identify the genetic requirements of protective excercise.
The project "QV-Delirium" is based on the decision of the Federal Joint Committee (G-BA) from 2017. The aim is to improve inpatient care for older patients who are undergoing inpatient surgery and thus to specifically reduce the postoperative risk of delirium. This is achieved through the implementation of evidence-based and consensus-based measures to prevent postoperative delirium in a comprehensive structured concept in routine care. The transparent documentation in an electronic patient file enables the relationships between the symptoms to be depicted in accordance with the clinical circumstances and the genesis of the postoperative delirium to be recorded and treated at an early stage.The independent Institute for Quality Assurance and Transparency in Health Care (IQTIG) receives the elements predefined (e.g. incidence of delirium) by IQTIG with which the quality is measured. The content of the additional elements from the routine data (see primary and secondary outcome measures) is merged internally and with BARMER and other health insurance data for a joint evaluation. Subproject 1: Preoperative evaluation of systolic and diastolic heart function in patients of the QV delirium cohort: In this process, this subproject relates to the evaluation of patients during the premedication visit. During the visit, an evaluation of the heart function using TTE should also take place in order to be able to evaluate later whether there is a association between the preoperative cardiac function examined and the development of postoperative delirium. The parameters to be collected are for the systolic heart function (LVEF, TAPSE, rest LV-SV and SVI, LVCO, LVCI LV / RV index, as well as for the diastolic dysfunction according to current recommendations (Nagueh SF et al., 2016) : MV DecT, MV E / A ratio, E'lat, E'sept, E ', E / E', IVRT-LV, S ', A', LAVI, tricuspid valve flow in tricuspid valve insufficiency: TR V max. Subproject 2 starts in April 2022: Anonymous quantitative employee (nurses and doctors) survey on the content of the quality contract with regard to employee satisfaction, feasibility, effectiveness, efficiency (cost-benefit balance), acceptance, needs, quality of the introduction, quality of the implementation.
