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 observational study is to learn about the influence of mechanical ventilation on the right ventricular (RV) function. The primary focus is on methods which are routinely used to improve gas exchange in ventilated patients (positive end expiratory pressure [PEEP], inhalation of NO, prone positioning). The main questions it aims to answer are: - Effects of prone positioning, PEEP and inhalation of NO on RV-function - Are there determinants (clinical, laboratory, demographic, echocardiographic) for the right ventricular response to the above? RV-Function will be assessed with right ventricular pressure-volume loops recorded with a conductance catheter at - each PEEP-Level during titration of the best PEEP - before and every 5 minutes (for max. 45 minutes) after rotation to prone position - before and under continuous inhalation of NO (if required based on clinical grounds)
Incidence of the background information, incidence and special characteristics of out- and in-hospital cardiac arrest at a tertiary hospital in Germany.
Monocentre, non-randomized, non-blinded, open-label interventional study to identification of relevant changes in molecular biology in proteome, phosphoproteome, lipidome, epigenome and transcriptome in pretransplant kidney biopsy samples in patients preconditioned by different dietary regimes (fasting mimicking diet vs. ketogenic diet vs. dietary restriction of sulfur containing amino acids vs. control patients)
This study aims to collect data in newly implanted cochlear implant-recipients to inform future development of fitting methods to optimally and efficiently program a cochlear implant.
The purpose of the clinical investigation is to verify that the device under investigation (SimplyFI) is appropriate to significantly improve fecal incontinence in patients in whom its use is indicated.
In study, liquid biopsy samples will be obtained from non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) including Squamous cell carcinoma, Adenocarcinoma and large cell carcinoma, colorectal carcinoma (CRC) and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients who undergo treatment according to established standards of care (SoC) at the University Hospital Schleswig-Holstein (UKSH). This study will observe the overall Variant Allele Frequency (VAF) of circulating tumour Desoxyribonucleic acid (ctDNA) levels over the patient therapeutic treatment course and will correlate these findings with tumour response as well as Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS)mutation status.
Patients undergoing complex free flap surgery are randomised to volatile or intravenous sedation in terms of subsequent intensive care sedation, based on the in-hospital standard of care. For study purposes, differences in management (set-up times, change of filters, etc.) will be investigated in relation to accelerated awakening and possibly improved neurocognition after the end of sedation.
Despite the fact that antithrombotic therapy (ATT) has little or even negative effects on the well-being of cancer patients during their last year of life, stopping ATT is rare in clinical practice. In contrast, antithrombotic therapy is often continued until death, resulting in excess bleeding, higher healthcare costs, and increased disease burden. SERENITY aims to develop an information-driven, palliative care shared decision-making process enabled by a user-friendly, easily accessible, web-based shared-decision support tool (SDST) that will facilitate treatment decisions regarding appropriate use of antithrombotic therapy in cancer patients at the end of life. SERENITY will use a comprehensive approach consisting of a combination of realist review, flash mob research, qualitative interviews, epidemiologic studies, and a randomized controlled trial. The sub-project described here uses the flashmob research approach to address healthcare professionals from various institutions, who deal with end-of-life care in cancer patients, or prescribe antithrombotic medication to cancer patients.The survey will be conducted with approx. 800 physicians from eight European countries, all represented in the SERENITY consortium.
This is a prospective observational substudy of the STEPCARE trial ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT05564754) with the aim to examine whether prognostication of neurological outcome after cardiac arrest can be performed earlier than the 72 h time-point recommended by guidelines today.
The purpose of this follow-up study is to describe the safety in subsequent pregnancies in participants who were previously administered the RSVPreF3 maternal vaccine or control during any prior RSV MAT study. The study participants enrolled in this follow-up study received RSVPreF3 maternal vaccination (any dose) or controls during the following prior RSV MAT studies: RSV MAT-001 (NCT03674177), RSV MAT-004 (NCT04126213), RSV MAT-010 (NCT05045144), RSV MAT-011 (NCT04138056), RSV MAT-009 (NCT04605159), RSV MAT-012 (NCT04980391) and RSV MAT-039 (NCT05169905). No intervention will be administered in this study. The exposure was the intervention (either RSVPreF3 vaccine or control) received by the study participants in the above-mentioned prior RSV MAT studies.
