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.
Although the clinical effectiveness of sarcoma treatment has improved, long-lasting and cumulative treatment side-effects may often detract from the overall marginal advantage. Information only on survival is insufficient to determine the net clinical benefit of a treatment. It is important to assess treatment effectiveness both in terms of objective outcomes (e.g., response, recurrence and survival) and in terms of subjective patient reported outcomes (PROs), objective functional outcomes including health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Previous studies have predominantly used generic HRQoL instruments, which cover some relevant issues but do not capture all the unique experiences of patients with sarcoma, and thus lack content validity. A sarcoma-specific questionnaire should be able to detect, with more sensitivity, side-effects, symptoms and problems with function that are particularly relevant to patients with sarcoma. To date , there is no specific sarcoma HRQoL instrument available; and, given the heterogeneity of the disease in terms of subtype, location, age and treatment, the development of such an instrument may be challenging. The aim of this collaborative project between the EORTC Quality of Life Group (QLG) and the EORTC Soft Tissue and Bone Sarcoma Group (STBSG) is to raise the standard of HRQoL measurement in patients with sarcoma. An important question remains to be answered: Is it possible to develop one PROs questionnaire covering HRQoL issues that are relevant to all adult patients with sarcoma, or are the HRQoL issues related to the different localization / treatment sufficiently different to warrant the creation of separate item lists selected from the EORTC QLG Item Library?
With this study we want to investigate the impact of self-help tools on the subjective tinnitus distress in chronic tinnitus patients. Furthermore, we want to investigate the influence of personal characteristics on the individual tinnitus improvement.
This first-in-human (FIH) dose-escalation and dose-validation/expansion study will assess ziftomenib, a menin-MLL(KMT2A) inhibitor, in patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) as part of Phase 1. In Phase 2, assessment of ziftomenib will continue in patients with NPM1-m AML.
The purpose of the current study is to analyze the effects of ICU-care on changes in microbiome and the influence of intestinal microbiome changes on short-term and long-term morbidity and mortality of ICU patients.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of a 12-week flexi band resistance training program compared to different whole-body electromyostimulation (WB-EMS) exercise programs on muscle strength, body composition (in particular muscle mass), cardiorespiratory fitness, inflammation, and patient-reported subjective outcomes (e.g. quality of life, fatigue, performance status) in patients with malignant disease undergoing curative or palliative anti-cancer treatment.
Brain tumors are the second most frequent malignant diseases in children and adolescents. In the study the short and medium term consequences of proton therapy on cognitive processes in particular on executive functions in pediatric patients shall be highlighted/analysed/evalutated. In a second step, these results are to be compared with 1. a group of children and adolescents who had only /exclusively had operative therapy and 2. with a healthy control group. Thus, the extent to which these treatment options differ in terms of their short and medium-term effect is assessed. Methods of neurocognitive/neurophysiology brain research approaches are applied that may potentially visualize even small / subtle changes in mental activities/neurocognitive function. Therefore the effects of treatment can be evaluated and the neuropsychological outcome of children and adolescents with brain tumors can be improved.
This study aims to evaluate the effects of a 12-week protein-rich individualized nutritional therapy combined with different time-efficient exercise programs on overall physical fitness (cardiorespiratory fitness and muscular fitness), inflammation, and muscle mass/body composition in patients with malignant disease undergoing curative or palliative anti-cancer treatment
Phase 1 dose escalation will determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of revumenib in participants with acute leukemia. In Phase 2, participants will be enrolled in 3 indication-specific expansion cohorts to determine the efficacy, short- and long-term safety, and tolerability of revumenib.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of an extremely time-efficient high-intensity interval training program, performed over a period of six months in a real-world (workplace) setting, on cardiorespiratory fitness, cardiometabolic risk profile, and self-reported outcomes including perceived stress and subjective work ability in previously sedentary employees.
A Phase 3b, open-label, single-arm, rollover study to evaluate the long-term safety of luspatercept, to the following participants: - Participants receiving luspatercept on a parent protocol at the time of their transition to the rollover study, who tolerate the protocol-prescribed regimen in the parent trial and, in the opinion of the investigator, may derive clinical benefit from continuing treatment with luspatercept - Participants in the follow-up phase previously treated with luspatercept or placebo in the parent protocol will continue into long-term post-treatment follow-up in the rollover study until the follow-up commitments are met - The study design is divided into the Transition Phase, Treatment Phase and Follow-up Phase. Participants will enter transition phase and depending on their background will enter either the treatment phase or the Long-term Post-treatment Follow-up (LTPTFU) phase - Transition Phase is defined as one Enrollment visit - Treatment Phase: For participants in luspatercept treatment the dose and schedule of luspatercept in this study will be the same as the last dose and schedule in the parent luspatercept study. This does not apply to participants that are in long-term follow-up from the parent protocol - Follow-up Phase includes: - 42 Day Safety Follow-up Visit - During the Safety Follow up, the participants will be followed for 42 days after the last dose of luspatercept, for the assessment of safety-related parameters and adverse event (AE) reporting - Long-term Post-treatment Follow-up (LTPTFU) Phase - Participants will be followed for overall survival every 6 months for at least 5 years from first dose of luspatercept in the parent protocol, or 3 years of post-treatment from last dose, whichever occurs later, or until death, withdrawal of consent, study termination, or until a subject is lost to follow-up. Participants will also be monitored for progression to AML or any malignancies/pre-malignancies. New anticancer or disease related therapies should be collected at the same time schedule Participants transitioning from a parent luspatercept study in post-treatment follow-up (safety or LTPTFU) will continue from the same equivalent point in this rollover study. The rollover study will be terminated, and relevant participants will discontinue from the study when all participants fulfill at least 5 years from the first dose of luspatercept in the parent protocol, or 3 years of post-treatment from last dose, whichever occurs later.
