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.
Alemtuzumab is a highly effective therapy in relapse remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). The aim of this study is to elucidate the mechanism of action of the neuroprotective potential of alemtuzumab in RRMS. Therefore, the investigators will semi-annually analyse blood samples of RRMS patients treated with alemtuzumab up to 36 months. Using in vitro/ ex vivo assays the investigators aim to detect and characterize immune cells including their functional activity. Furthermore, the study aims to combine this analysis with clinical data (MRI, EDSS: Expanded Disability Status Scale, MSFC: Multiple Sclerosis Functional Composite) to reveal the underlining mechanism of action of alemtuzumab to further improve its efficacy and safety for present and future patients.
The acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a severe form of respiratory failure with a mortality rate of approximately 40%. Despite advances in its supportive treatment such as lung protective ventilation or restrictive fluid management, no effective pharmacotherapy exists to treat ARDS. Emerging preclinical data indicates that excessive activation of the inflammasome-Caspase 1 pathway plays a key role in the development of ARDS. Tetracycline has anti-inflammatory properties via inhibiting inflammasome-caspase-1 activation. Since not much is known about the activation of the inflammasome in clinical ARDS, the purpose of this study is i) to investigate the the inflammasome-caspase-1 activation in clinical ARDS and ii) inhibit the innate immune response of alveolar leucocytes obtained by tetracycline from patients with ARDS
Documentation of the safety and effectiveness profile of the CE-labelled immunoadsorber GLOBAFFIN® in clinical routine according to their intended use.
The purpose of this study is to confirm the tolerability of recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of Lazertinib (Phase 1), to determine the tolerability and identify the recommended Phase 2 combination dose of Lazertinib when combined with Amivantamab (JNJ-61186372) (Phase 1b), to characterize the safety and tolerability of Lazertinib and Amivantamab combinations at the RP2CD in participants with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with documented advanced or metastatic epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation (Phase 1b expansion cohorts A, B, C, D and E), to estimate the antitumor activity of Lazertinib and Amivantamab combinations at the RP2CD in participants with advanced NSCLC with documented advanced or metastatic EGFR mutation (Phase 1b expansion cohorts A, B, C, and D), to validate the biomarker identified in Phase 1b expansion Cohort D as a predictor of antitumor activity of Lazertinib and Amivantamab combination (Cohort E) or Amivantamab monotherapy (Cohort F) in participants with osimertinib-relapsed, chemotherapy-naïve, EGFR Exon19del or L858R mutated NSCLC, to identify the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2ChD) of Lazertinib when combined with Amivantamab and standard of care chemotherapy and to determine the tolerability of the Lazertinib, Amivantamab, and platinum-doublet chemotherapy (LACP) combination (Phase 1b LACP combination cohort) and to characterize the safety and tolerability of Lazertinib at the RP2ChD and Amivantamab and standard of care chemotherapy in participants with advanced or metastatic EGFR-mutated NSCLC (Phase 1b LACP combination cohort), to assess 2 potential biomarker strategies to identify participants at increased, or decreased, probability of tumor response with JNJ-61186372 and lazertinib combination in participants with EGFR Exon19del or L858R mutated NSCLC progressed on or after osimertinib (Phase 1b expansion Cohort D).
The German PBC Cohort is a multi-centric, observational (non-interventional) study with three parallel groups. The main objective of this observational study is to describe the course of Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) in patients in Germany under routine treatment with approved drugs. Therefore, the effectiveness and safety/tolerability of PBC treatment options in a real-life setting will be evaluated.
Transient ischemic attack (TIA) is a common neurologic emergency. Although the detection of atrial fibrillation (AF) has identical consequences for preventive therapy in patients with ischemic stroke and TIA, the management setting and diagnostic pathways frequently differ substantially between both manifestations. Despite these differences between stroke and TIA patients, previous studies have investigated diagnostic work-up for AF primarily in stroke patients. Thus, there is no common practice or "gold standard" of rhythm monitoring for TIA patients in most healthcare systems and the optimal method and duration of cardiac monitoring for TIA patients is currently unknown. This is likely to result in a substantial under-diagnosis of AF in TIA patients, failure to initiate appropriate secondary preventive medication (i.e. anticoagulation) and ultimately the occurrence of many otherwise preventable strokes. The primary research question of the trial is whether prolonged ECG recording (intervention) significantly increases the rate of detection of paroxysmal AF compared to 24 h electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring (control) 6 months after start of monitoring in patients with recent TIA. The co-primary question of the trial is whether 28 d non-invasive continuous ECG monitoring is non-inferior to ECG recording using an implanted event recorder for AF detection.
The Multi-OutcoMe EvaluatioN of radiation Therapy Using the Unity MR-Linac Study (MOMENTUM) is a multi-institutional, international registry facilitating evidenced based implementation of the Unity MR-Linac technology and further technical development of the MR-Linac system with the ultimate purpose to improve patients' survival, local, and regional tumor control and quality of life.
This registry is performed for the long-term assessment of outcome, performance and residual safety aspects of the BIOMONITOR III and possible successors in a real-life clinical set-up. In addition, this registry is set up in a way that it may also be used as a platform for submodules to investigate additional scientific and regulatory aspects while minimizing the additional effort for the investigational sites and patients.
This registry is being conducted to support ongoing post-market surveillance activities.
The purpose of this international study is to evaluate long-term safety and effectiveness of Abbott deep brain stimulation (DBS) systems for all indications, including Parkinson's disease, essential tremor or other disabling tremor and dystonia.
