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.
Dyspnea is among the most common symptoms in patients with respiratory diseases such as Asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), Fibrosis, and Pulmonary Hypertension. However, the pathophysiology and underlying mechanisms of dyspnea in patients with respiratory diseases are still poorly understood. Diaphragm dysfunction might be highly prevalent in patients with dyspnea and respiratory diseases. The association of diaphragm function and potential prognostic significance in patients with respiratory diseases has not yet been investigated.
The brain is protected from any toxic or inflammatory molecule by the blood-brain barrier (BBB). This physical barrier is located at the level of the blood vessel walls. Because of these barrier properties, the blood vessels are also impermeable to the passage of therapeutic molecules from the blood to the brain. The development of effective treatments against glioblastoma is thus limited due to the BBB that prevents most drugs injected in the bloodstream from getting into brain tissue where the tumour is seated. The SonoCloud-9 (SC9) is an investigational device using ultrasound technology and specially developed to open the BBB in the area of and surrounding the tumour. The transient opening of the BBB allows more drugs to reach the brain tumour tissue. Carboplatin is a chemotherapy that is approved to treat different cancer types alone or in combination with other drugs, and has been used in the treatment of glioblastoma. Despite its proven efficacy in the laboratory on glioblastoma cells, carboplatin does not readily cross the BBB in humans. A clinical trial has shown that in combination with the SonoCloud-9, more carboplatin can reach the brain tumour tissue. The objective of the proposed trial is to show that the association - carboplatin with the SonoCloud-9 - will increase efficacy of the drug in patients with recurrent glioblastoma.
Researchers are looking for a better way to treat people with chronic kidney disease (CKD), a progressive decrease in the kidneys' ability to work properly, and type 1 diabetes. In people with type 1 diabetes, the body does not make enough of a hormone called insulin, resulting in high blood sugar levels that can cause damage to the kidneys. CKD often occurs together with or as a consequence of type 1 diabetes. The study treatment finerenone works by blocking certain proteins, called mineralocorticoid receptors. An increased stimulation of these proteins is thought to damage the kidneys and the heart. By lowering their stimulation, finerenone reduces the risk of kidney disease progressively getting worse. Finerenone is approved for doctors to prescribe to people with CKD and type 2 diabetes. In this study, researchers want to learn if finerenone works better than placebo in reducing the participants' kidney disease from getting worse when given in addition to standard of care (SOC) treatment. A placebo looks like a treatment but does not have any medicine in it. SOC is a procedure or treatment that medical experts consider most appropriate for a condition or disease. To find out how well finerenone works, the level of a protein (albumin) in the urine will be measured. Researchers also want to know how safe finerenone is. To do this, the researchers will collect the number of participants with: - medical problems (also called treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs)) - serious TEAEs. An TEAE is considered 'serious' when it leads to death, puts the participant's life at risk, requires hospitalization, causes disability, causes a baby being born with medical problems, or is medically important - higher than normal blood levels of potassium (hyperkalaemia). Depending on the treatment group, the participants will either take finerenone or placebo, Importantly, the participants will also continue to take their regular SOC medicines. The participants will be in the study for up to 7.5 months and will take the study treatments for 6 months. During the study, they will visit the study site at least 6 times. The study team will: - collect blood and urine samples - check the participants' vital signs such as blood pressure and heart rate - do a physical examination including height and weight - check the participants' heart health by using an electrocardiogram (ECG) - do pregnancy tests in women of childbearing potential
The purpose of this study is to assess the real-world outcomes differences between apalutamide or enzalutamide plus androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for the treatment of participants with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC).
This non-randomized, open-label extension study will provide post-trial access to pelacarsen (TQJ230) to participants in Germany with hyperlipoproteinemia(a) and established cardiovascular disease who have successfully completed the double-blind parent study (CTQJ230A12302).
A Phase 2, multi-center, randomized, controlled, open-label study to evaluate the effects of the intraperitoneal, liposomal formulation VS-01 in patients with an acute episode of hepatic and/or extrahepatic organ dysfunctions and failures in the presence of liver cirrhosis (Acute-on-Chronic Liver Failure, ACLF) and accumulation of fluid in the abdominal cavity (ascites)
The study is designed as international, prospective, multicenter non-AMG/MPG study in cooperation with EUBREAST e.V. (European Breast Cancer Research Association of Surgical Trialists). Furthermore, it is planned to initiate a registry for postoperative breast seromas.
The Avacostar PASS is a non-interventional, multi-national, prospective cohort study that will collect data from 2 cohorts of patients: those treated with avacopan for active severe AAV, and a second cohort treated with a cyclophosphamide or rituximab-based induction regimen without avacopan for active severe AAV. The overall study duration is anticipated to be up to 7 years, including a recruitment period of approximately 3 years.
The smartNTx trial: Prospective, randomized controlled trial (RCT) to investigate additional interventional telemedical management versus standard aftercare in kidney transplant recipients (KTR). STUDY PURPOSE: To demonstrate that additional interventional telemedical management will lead to a higher chance for long-term graft survival, increase adherence, quality of life (QoL), and reduce complications and healthcare costs after kidney transplantation.
PREcoopERA is a randomized (2:2:1), multicenter, open-label, three-arm (A, B, C), Window-of-Opportunity (WOO) trial to evaluate the activity and safety of giredestrant (A) versus giredestrant plus triptorelin (B) versus anastrozole plus triptorelin (C).
