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.
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the role of switching from cigarette smoking (CS) to tobacco heat system (THS) on the clinical outcome of closed tibia fractures from smokers' orthopedic patients. Validated and standardized assays, medical state and self-reported outcomes will be evaluated in orthopedic patients' smokers or switch from CS to using THS throughout six months compare to ex-smokers (control).
This study aims to explore a new therapeutic approach for advanced soft tissue sarcoma (STS) by investigating the safety, tolerability, and maximum tolerable dose (MTD) of DPPG2-TSL-DOX combined with regional hyperthermia (RHT) in patients who have been pre-treated with doxorubicin (DOX).
Pro-Kids is a multi-center, double-blind, randomized and placebo-controlled intervention study in children with chronic kidney disease. The investigators address the effect of a dietary food supplementation of propionic acid on the immune system and the function of the intestinal barrier in CKD patients treated with hemodialysis.
Beside well described peripheral effects, insulin can also affect the human central nervous system. Centrally acting insulin seems to have an influence e.g. on whole-body metabolism and food intake. Targeting insulin receptors in the central nervous system can modulate peripheral insulin sensitivity as well as pancreatic insulin secretion. In humans, the effect of insulin can be measured in different brain areas as estimate of central nervous insulin sensitivity. Reduced central nervous insulin sensitivity, called "central insulin resistance," has been associated, for example, with obesity, unfavorable body fat distribution, and impaired cognitive functionality. Recently novel subtypes and risk clusters of diabetes and prediabetes have been identified. In this study the investigators want to investigate and compare central nervous insulin sensitivity as well as cognitive function in the different diabetes and prediabetes risk clusters.
This study is open to people with a skin disease called Netherton syndrome (NS). People can join the study if they are 12 years and older. The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called spesolimab helps people with NS. Participants are divided into a spesolimab and a placebo group. Placebo injections look like spesolimab injections but do not contain any medicine. Every participant has a 2 in 3 chance of being in the spesolimab group. In the beginning, participants get the study medicine as an injection into a vein. Afterwards, they get it as an injection under the skin every month. After 4 months, participants in the placebo group switch to spesolimab treatment. Participants are in the study for about 1 year. During this time, they visit the study site 16 times. Where possible, 4 of 16 visits can be done at the participant's home instead of the study site. The doctors regularly check participants' NS symptoms. The results are compared between the groups to see whether spesolimab works. The doctors also regularly check participants' general health and take note of any unwanted effects.
A study evaluating the efficacy, safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of GLPG3667 administered orally once daily for 48 weeks in approximately 180 adult participants with active Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE).
This study will evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics and efficacy of ceftobiprole in term and pre-term newborn babies and infants up to 3 months of age with late-onset sepsis (LOS). Ceftobiprole is an antibiotic which belongs to a group of medicines called 'cephalosporin antibiotics'. It is approved for its use to treat adults and children with pneumonia in many European and non-European countries.
This study is an evaluation of flexible and integrated psychiatric care models (according to § 64b of the German Social Code Book V (SGB V)) (FIT) including new FIT projects starting after 2022 and the prolongation of any of 19 already established FIT projects (mainly at German psychiatric hospitals). The central concern of this evaluation is to answer the question whether FIT care offers advantages over standard care. The orientation of model care is a more cross-sectoral provision of services through more flexible psychiatric treatment intensities. However, FIT program structures depend on the individual situation and organization of the FIT hospital together with the participating statutory health insurance (SHI) funds.
The MAESTRIA study is an international, multi-centre, non-interventional, observational registry. The main goal is to enrol a representative group of European patients diagnosed with Atrial Fibrillation (AF) to analyse clinical and relevant parameters (digitalised ECG, echocardiograms, cardiac CTs, MRIs and blood biomarkers) that could be used during clinical practise for the diagnosis of atrial cardiomyopathy. The AF patients will be distributed in 3 groups according to the different manifestation of AF: paroxysmal, persistent and permanent AF.
Every year, 5 million people throughout Germany suffer from extensive, often chronic wounds. Cold plasma is an innovative therapeutic approach in the treatment of these persistent tissue defects. However, previous therapy options with cold plasma are very time-consuming, especially with increasing wound area, and are also strongly dependent on the skill of the practitioner. This study investigates the effectiveness of a system for reproducible application of cold plasma on larger areas and observes the effect of a 4-week additional plasma treatment on wound healing of large chronic wounds. The patient-related benefit of such an additional treatment will also be evaluated. Both study arms will receive guideline-based wound therapy, which is the current gold standard.
