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 a two center phase II prospective single-arm safety and feasibility trial for 20 patients with resectable esophageal carcinoma with an increased risk for anastomotic leakage, as based upon UCS and NASCET calcification scores on pre-op CT-scan. In these patients, laparoscopic ischemic conditioning is performed 12-18 days before an Ivor-Lewis esophagectomy. The primary outcome is all complications grade 2 and higher (Clavien-Dindo classification) occurring during or after the laparoscopic ischemic conditioning. Secondary outcomes are complications after the esophagectomy, and the induction of angiogenesis by biomarkers of microcirculation and redistribution of blood flow by measurement of indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence angiography.
The objective of this registry is to collect information on the performance and clinical benefits of the AMDS (Ascyrus Medical Dissection Stent) to treat patients with acute "DeBakey type I dissections" and with or without so called "preoperative clinically relevant malperfusion" and/or "intramural hematomas". In a healthy aorta (the vessel that supplies blood to most of the body) the blood flows freely through the main lumen (a space inside the vessel where blood flows). The participants involved in this study have a tear that has separated the inner layer of the aorta wall and created a secondary channel (false lumen) in addition to the main channel (true lumen), and huts, the blood flows through both channels. AMDS is a stent (a metal tube helping to keep the vessel open) that is placed in the descending thoracic aorta. AMDS is a medical device commercially available in the countries in which the study is being conducted and it is used as standard of care according to its indication.
In this study, cardiopulmonary exercise will be assessed to characterize the relevance of severity of COPD and coexisting cardiovascular comorbidities for exercise capacity.
Primary objective is to assess the anti-tumor activity of single agent odronextamab as measured by the objective response rate (ORR) according to the Lugano Classification of response in malignant lymphoma (Cheson, 2014) and as assessed by independent central review in each of the following B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL) subgroups: - In patients with follicular lymphoma (FL) grade 1-3a *1,2 - In patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) *1,2 - In patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) that has relapsed after or is refractory to a BTK inhibitor. This cohort will also include patients who have relapsed or have disease refractory to prior systemic therapy, or patients who have demonstrated intolerance to BTK inhibitor therapy, and who have progressed after other systemic therapy. - In patients with marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) *1 - In patients with other B-NHL subtypes *1 Secondary objectives are: - To assess the anti-tumor activity of single agent odronextamab in each of 5 disease-specific cohorts, as measured by: - ORR according to the Lugano Classification and as assessed by local investigator evaluation - Complete response (CR) rate according to the Lugano Classification and as assessed local by local investigator evaluation and independent central review - Progression-free survival (PFS)*3 - Overall survival (OS) - Duration of response (DOR)*3 - Disease control rate (DCR)*3 - To evaluate the safety and tolerability of odronextamab - To assess the pharmacokinetics (PK) of odronextamab - To assess the immunogenicity of odronextamab - To assess the effect of odronextamab on patient reported outcomes, including health-related quality of life (HRQL), as measured by the validated instruments European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30), Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Lymphoma (FACT-Lym), and EuroQoL 5 Dimensions 3 Levels (EQ-5D-3L) - 1 that has relapsed after or is refractory to at least 2 prior lines of systemic therapy - 2 including an anti-CD20 antibody and an alkylating agent - 3 according to Lugano Classification and as assessed by independent central review and local investigator evaluation
Approximately 300 patients presenting orbital blow-out fracture will be enrolled prospectively in this registry. All patients, surgically and nonsurgically treated as per standard (routine) of care will be followed-up (FU) within the registry for a period of 6 months.
The aim is to validate an in vitro diagnosis medical device to predict grade II to IV aGVHD after a cell graft
For the first time panic disorder and agoraphobia are included as separate disorders in the DSM-5. Thus, agoraphobia no longer represents a subcategory of panic disorder. To diagnose both of the disorders, questionnaires are the method of choice. However, there are no measuring instruments available free of charge in German-speaking countries. In order to improve this situation, the Witten Panic Disorder Questionnaire (WPF) and the Witten Agoraphobia Questionnaire (WAF) are constructed in accordance with the DSM-5 criteria. Both measuring instruments are included as a part of a ten instrument battery. WAF and WPF will be delivered to a patient sample of patients with panic disorder and/or agoraphobia as well as depressed patients (discriminant validity). Factor analyzes and item analyses will be conducted.
The purpose of this international multicenter, patient and outcome-assessor blinded randomized controlled trial is to determine whether the application of an individualized high PEEP strategy, aiming at avoiding an increase in the driving pressure during intraoperative ventilation, protects against the development of postoperative pulmonary complications.
Stroke patients frequently suffer from stroke associated pneumonia. Pathophysiologically speaking, dysphagia and central nervous system (CNS)-injury induced immunosuppression largely contribute to the risk for pneumonia. In mouse models for stroke, the self-cleaning mechanisms of the lung are also affected by stroke, possibly further contributing to this risk. The investigators designed a pilot-study to examine the structural and functional integrity of the self-cleaning mechanisms of the lung in stroke patients.
This study explores the use of CRP level reduction in patients after suffering from acute ischemic stroke. Using selective CRP-apheresis, the investigators aim to reduce the secondary inflammatory tissue damage in the course of infarction maturation using infarction growth in MRI as the primary outcome as a surrogate.
