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 aim of this study is to assess the influence of this particular treatment method on the patients' quality of life and masticatory function.
Phase 1 is an open-label, dose finding, multicenter study of ibrutinib in combination with pomalidomide and dexamethasone in subjects with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. Phase 2b is a randomized, double-blind, multicenter study of ibrutinib or placebo, in combination with pomalidomide and dexamethasone in subjects with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.
Use of high loading doses of clopidogrel (antiplatelet drug) just before coronary interventions is associated with improved outcomes after coronary stenting. However the onset of platelet inhibition after clopidogrel loading takes 2 to 4 hours and its action if very variable. A way to overcome this limitation is loading with a more potent antiplatelet drug such as prasugrel. Therefore in the current study the investigators want to compare loading with 60 mg prasugrel (potent antiplatelet drug) and loading with clopidogrel (standard drug) in patients undergoing elective coronary intervention.
The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the effect of Obeticholic Acid treatment compared to placebo on 1) histological improvement and 2) liver-related clinical outcomes in patients with non-cirrhotic nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) with liver fibrosis.
The main purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of CINRYZE administered with plasmapheresis, plasma exchange, or immune adsorption treatments and sucrose-free immunoglobulin (IVIg) for the treatment of acute antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) of renal allograft in kidney transplant recipients as measured by the proportion of participants with new or worsening transplant glomerulopathy (TG) at 6 months after treatment initiation.
The purpose of this study is to characterize left ventricular acute hemodynamic and electrical responses during cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) with different Multipoint Pacing (MPP) settings, and assess the relationship between electrical activation patterns and hemodynamic measurements during these pacing settings.
This is a multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study designed to compare overall survival in participants with relapsed or refractory AML treated with idasanutlin in combination with cytarabine versus participants treated with placebo and cytarabine. Participants will receive induction treatment with idasanutlin/placebo and cytarabine (Cycle 1). Responding participants may continue to receive a maximum of further two cycles of consolidation (Cycle 2 and Cycle 3). Complete remission (CR), CR with incomplete platelet count recovery (CRp), overall remission rate (ORR), event-free survival (EFS) and percentage of participants with an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) will also be compared between treatment arms. This study will include participants with and without TP53 wild type (TP53 WT) mutations.
The aim of this phase I/II trial is induction of anti leukemic T cell immunity in a clinical situation of "minimal residual disease". This might be a strategy to immunologically eradicate the residual leukemia cells. Patients to be included are chronic phase bcr/abl+ CML (chronic myeloid leukemia) patients in stable cytogenetic and/or molecular remission. These patients can be included if they have: 1. not achieved a CMR (complete molecular response) or 2. achieved bcr/abl < 10% on qPCR (quantitative polymerase chain reaction) (=MCyR) (Major cytogenic Response), but less than a CCyR (complete cytogenic Response). Autologous DC (Dendritic cells), generated under GMP (Good manufacturing conditions) conditions, are used as a vaccine. These DC constitutively express all putative tumor antigens. In order to ensure sufficient presentation of distinct CML-related antigens, particularly in good responders to TKIs, DC are additionally pulsed with peptides from bcr/abl, WT-1 (Wilms Tumor Protein) and proteinase-3. Monitoring of T cell reactivity against these peptides can then serve as surrogate marker for anti leukemic immunity induced by the vaccine. Vaccination is performed with 10^7 DC i.d. (intra dermal) in weeks 1, 3, 5, 8, 11, 14, 17, 20, 23 and 26. KLH (keyhole limpet hemocyanin) is used as an adjuvant for vaccine preparations in weeks 3, 5 and 8 (and 11).
Prospective, multi-center, post-market, non-randomized, nested-control, observational study of the CE marked CardioKinetix Parachute Implant System.
Aim of the study is the determination of the ideal timepoint for the treatment of patients with acute Non-ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI) and an acute or chronic kidney disease (CKD) with a GRACE score < 140. It should be determine if a prompt coronary angiography or the protection of the kidneys from the used contrast agent is more important for the outcome of the patients. Additionally it will be investigated if the ischemic precondition can help to prevent heart damages.
