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.
Newly diagnosed pediatric patients (age < 19 years) with bcr-abl-positive CML will be treated with imatinib. Serial monitoring of treatment response is performed in one month intervals during the first three months of treatment and in three months intervals thereafter. Patients with non-response, poor response (either molecular, cytogenetic, or hematologic non-/poor response) or progress of the disease while under imatinib treatment will stop imatinib and undergo stem cell transplantation. All responders to imatinib treatment with an HLA matched donor will undergo stem cell transplantation not later than 2 years after diagnosis.
Obesity in children and adolescents is associated with morphologic and functional changes of the vascular wall, suggesting a potential role of juvenile obesity for the development of atherosclerosis later in life. However, no evidence from intervention studies has been provided so far that weight loss in obese children can improve vascular function. Therefore we designed this study including a cohort of obese children before and after a structured weight reduction program in order to answer the question, whether such an intervention can improve vascular function and reverse destructive vascular changes.
Children with congenital heart defects have shown to develop motor coordinative deficiencies. In this study we want to show that a motor pedagogic physical training can improve the coordinative capabilities of children aged 4-6 years.
This study is undertaken to investigate the effect of navigated knee implantation surgery on physical function, joint stiffness, pain, quality of life and coordinative abilities. One group of patients will receive navigated knee implantation surgery, the other traditional knee implantation surgery, without use of the navigation system. The study is designed as a randomized trial. That means that all patients who have given their consent to participate in this study will be allocated to either navigated or conventional surgery by chance. A total of 477 patients will be included in this study and will be followed up for 12 month. In this period all patients will be asked to fill in functional and quality of life questionnaires at baseline, 6 weeks and 3, 6 and 12 month follow-up. Coordinative abilities will be evaluated once in the time-frame 3 to 6 months postoperatively.
Aim of the study is to show additional effects of the combined therapy of niacin and statins analyzing number and function of EPCs and other stem cell populations and adiponectin as well as hsCRP levels in patients with CAD.
The purpose of the present study is to provide the first in-human safety and efficacy evaluations of systemic oral anti-proliferative Everolimus therapy compared to placebo in patients treated by bare metal stents for significant coronary artery disease. The aim is to reduce Major Adverse Cardiac Events (MACEs) including death, coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) to the target vessel, Q-wave and non-Q-wave myocardial infarction, and target lesion revascularization within the first 6 months after intervention. Additionally safety and tolerability of Everolimus at the selected dose in this patient population will be analyzed.
Human papillomavirus (HPV)-infection belong to the most common sexually transmitted diseases worldwide. HIV-infected men having sex with men /MSM) are strongly associated with a higher prevalence of genitoanal HPV-infection, and perianal HPV-infections have been detected in up to 90% of HIV-positive men. The data concerning the incidence of oral HPV-infection in HIV-positive men, especially in the era of highly antiretroviral therapy, are conflicting. Thus, this prospective study mainly focuses on the incidence and prevalence of oral HPV-infection, spectrum of HPV-types, and oral high-risk HPV viral load in HIV-positive men.
This study investigates how different degrees of muscular unloading during mechanical ventilation impact endurance of succeeding spontaneous breathing trials
The study analysis the influence of benzalkonium chloride on the density of antigen presenting Langerhans cells. This is achieved in a double blind randomized study using in-vivo confocal microscopy to identify and quantify Langerhans cells of the human cornea in its central and peripheral part. This study design is based on observations with raised Langerhans cell density after the application of benzalkonium chloride containing eye drops in glaucoma patients.
We analyze the effects of combined intramuscular and intraarterial transplantation of BMCs in patients with PAD. BMCs were transplanted into the ischemic limb. After 2 and 13 months walking distance and perfusion indices were monitored.
