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.
With this study, the investigators aim to test whether acute administration of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) improves motor performance in a sequential motor learning task in comparison to placebo in healthy humans.
FAST is an investigator-initiated multicenter study embedded in a German multistate acute stroke network. The main objectives of the FAST study are to improve outcomes and quality of care for stroke patients, to quantify the number of patients in need of thrombectomy within an integrated stroke network, to study the best way of delivering and performing thrombectomy and to investigate the best model of pre-hospital selection and referral for stroke patients.
This is an open-label, first-in-human study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and preliminary anti-tumor activity of selpercatinib (also known as LOXO-292) administered orally to participants with advanced solid tumors, including rearranged during transfection (RET)-fusion-positive solid tumors, medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) and other tumors with RET activation.
This study is an Investigator-initiated, placebo-controlled, multicenter noninferiority trial, comparing rapid termination of systemic glucocorticoid treatment with a tapering regime over 4 weeks.
Five-year, Prospective, multi-center, non-randomized, non-controlled study of the ATTUNE® Revision total knee prostheses, utilizing the fixed bearing (FB) and rotating platform (RP) tibial component with the posterior stabilizing (PS) femoral component in complex primary total knee arthroplasty.
Patients suffering from cancer often experience a loss of muscle mass and strength during disease and its therapy. Muscle wasting is the main characteristic of the so-called cancer cachexia syndrome and responsible for many therapy-related complications and a poorer prognosis of the patient. Stabilizing muscle mass should therefore be a great goal in cancer care. Physical exercise and nutrition are promising measures to combat cancer-related muscle atrophy but conventional exercise programs may not always be suitable for physical-weakened patients and increased catabolic processes are difficult to overcome by normal Nutrition - especially in advanced cancer. Therefore, the present study aims to test a combined approach of specific nutritional supplementation and exercise using the novel strength training method of Whole-Body electromyostimulation (WB-EMS). The study investigates the effect of a 12-week WB-EMS training combined with a dietary supplementation of β-hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate (HMB), L-carnitine (LC) or the omega-3-fatty acid eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) on skeletal muscle mass, body composition, physical function, nutritional and inflammatory status, fatigue and quality of life in cancer patients undergoing oncological treatment. The results of this study may help to clarify the effectiveness of those combined interventions to counteract muscle wasting and other symptoms of cancer cachexia.
Currently, diagnostic possibilities for the detection of food allergy in the gastrointestinal tract are scarce. The endoscopic segmental Lavage is the method of choice, but it´s controversial. Additional to the endoscopic segmental lavage fluid a cytobrush is used for collecting the mucosa cells and biopsies are taken. Comparative to the Lavage specific IgE antibodies, Tumor necrosis factor- alpha, Eosinophilic cation protein and mastcell tryptase were measured.
Patients with claudication or critical limb ischemia will be treated either with uncoated balloons or paclitaxel coated balloons in order to enhance the vessel patency in stenosed or occluded below the knee arteries
The purpose of the main study is to describe the incidence of influenza virus and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in adults hospitalized with acute respiratory tract infection (ARTI) during the influenza/RSV season, and the purpose of the substudy is to describe the clinical and economic burden in adults hospitalized with confirmed influenza/RSV infection.
COLLECT is a monocentric, prospective, observational study, which aims to assess the association between changes in the intestinal microbiota and the incidence of gastrointestinal graft-versus-host diseases (GvHD). Patients admitted for performance of an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) or patients with a first diagnosis of an acute myeloid leukemia (AML) will be enrolled and stool samples will be analyzed using next-generation sequencing. In addition to stool, blood and urine samples will be collected for cytokine and 3-indoxylsulfate analysis. Exposure to drugs will not be influenced and remains at the discretion of the treating physician.
