There are about 6915 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Austria. 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 compare Robotic Assisted, functionally aligned vs Custom Made Total Knee Arthroplasty in patients with knee osteoarthritis. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Which implant/philosophy yields better clinical outcomes? - Which implant/philosophy yields better satisfaction? - Which system is more OR efficient? Participants will be followed for 2 years postoperatively.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the incidence and severity of retinopathy and opticopathy one year after treatment with hypofractionated stereotactic photon radiotherapy due to uveal melanoma. Patients will be imaged before radiation, as well as 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after radiation using sonography funds photography, optical coherence tomography angiography, oximeter and microperimetry.
The purpose of this Medical Access Program (also referred to as an Expanded Access Program in the USA) is to provide access to Dato-DXd for eligible patients with previously treated advanced or metastatic nonsquamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who, in their treating physician's opinion, have an unmet clinical need, are unlikely to obtain optimal benefit from currently approved and commercially available drugs, and who cannot enter a suitable clinical trial.
This double-blinded proof-of-concept study is proposed to explore the effects of fecal microbiota transfer (FMT) in human subjects. Here we perform FMTs into obese recipients using stool from lean unoperated donors and from previously obese patients after successfull treatment with bariatric Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) surgery. Obese patients treated with their own material (autologous FMT) serve as controls. After FMT treatment the functional impact of post-surgery microbiome changes on host energy consumption and regulation of blood glucose levels will be analysed. Additionally the variations on the microbiota and metabolite composition will be profiled using extensive sequencing analyses. The major aim of the study is to explore the scientific rationale for targeted gut microbiota modulation in management of obesity and related metabolic diseases.We estimate the transfer of microbiota from RYGB donors is superior to the transfer of lean microbiota at inducing reduced adiposity and improving high blood glucose levels in obese recipients. Each is better than a sham procedure (autologous FMT), which itself can also induce considerable short-term effects.
The goal of this randomized control intervention study is to test the effect of i) a specific physical training for e-sport and ii) a general physical training on e-sport performance, compared to iii) not training physically at all. Participants are gamers and e-athletes who play at least >2hours peer week. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does physical training have an effect on e-sport related abilities (hand grip strength, reaction, anticipation) - Does the training of specific elements, which aim at these abilities "out-game", transfer on the actual skills needed using a keyboard and mouse Participants will be randomly - but mediated by hours of playing per week - distributed in 1 of 3 groups. - Group 1 will 3 times per week for 30 minutes perform a specific physical training with focus on abilities needed in e-sport (grip strength, reaction, anticipation) over a timespan of 8 weeks. - Group 2 will perform a similar physical training (load, intensity) to Group 1, but without specific elements. - Group 3 will serve as control group without any training. Researchers will compare Group 1, Group 2 and Groups 3 to see if the different trainings (Group 1 and Group 2) have different effect on e-sport performance and if no training (Group 3) differs in e-sport performance development.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the treatment of Hallux Valgus using the conventional method (metal screw) with the new method (human allogeneic cortical bone screw (Shark Screw®) in adult patients with confirmed Hallux Valgus. The main questions it aims to answer are: Can the new method obtain comparable results as the conventional method in regard to union rate and time to union? Are the number of complications lower with the new method? Participants will be operated either with the metal screw or with the Shark Screw®. The assignment to the groups is randomized.
The aim of this study is to investigate the association between increased lifetime physical activity and the development of wild-type transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy.
A large number of different organ functions are recorded in real time for patients being monitored in an intensive care unit. On the one hand, the measured values collected are used for continuous monitoring of vital parameters, e.g. blood pressure, heart rate and respiratory rate, but are also evaluated several times a day in conjunction with other data as part of ward rounds. In both cases, continuous monitoring from a limited number of parameters, but also in the distinct evaluation with a more extensive set of analyzable parameters, there are limitations in the evaluability even with all the care and expertise available: In continuous analysis, interpretation is limited by the restricted number of continuously recorded parameters described above. Although a large number of such measurements are possible, and at least theoretically a larger number of parameters could be measured, patient-specific limits such as patient cooperation, medical limits such as the significance of the measured values in specific situations, but also economic limits are often decisive in this context. Although accurate conclusions can be drawn from the continuous and therefore complete representation of aspects of human physiology, the limitation of the available parameters reduces the interpretability of the synthesis of different statuses. In the broader, more comprehensive assessments during visits at specific points in time, on the other hand, there are limitations due to, among other things, point recordings of individual measured values and the predefined visit times. Even if limit values are (or can be) defined for the measured data, and a consequence, e.g. a therapy step, is initiated if these values are exceeded or not reached, this alert can only be initiated retrospectively if these values are exceeded and a consequence can only be initiated retrospectively. In this situation, a pathophysiological change is already so far advanced that in many cases a compensation mechanism no longer functions adequately and turns into a decompensation situation. In this situation, the patients affected in an intensive care unit are in many cases in mortal danger. Both situations, continuous recording of a limited number of parameters and the evaluation of extensive data in the form of a snapshot could be optimized despite the limitations mentioned. Without changing the collection of data (time, scope, etc.), the possibilities for optimizing their interpretation and the consequences that can be derived from the interpretation remain. The interpretation of the data is primarily determined by the interpreters as the method of interpretation. Current approaches attempt to use machine learning (ML) methods to predict individual situations that recognize adverse events in the given data and at the same time allow alarms to be triggered pre-emptively, i.e. before a life-threatening situation occurs. Furthermore, there are already studies on the change of early warning scores in time series, which are, however, limited in their informative value for longer prediction periods.
Prospective single-center phase II study to evaluate the PSA, imaging and pathological response, as well as oncological outcomes of systemic radioligand therapy [177Lu]Lu-PSMAI&T (PSMA-RLT) in patients planned for radical prostatectomy (RP) for oligometastatic prostate cancer (PCa) diagnosed using [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET examination. Ten patients with oligometastatic primary PCa diagnosed using [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET-CT/MRI imaging will be included in this study.

Methods: Multicentric, observational case-control study based on pooled individual patient data from several stroke centers. Primary endpoint: Primary composite outcome measure includes the following outcomes: (i) occurrence of recurrent CeAD, (ii) occurrence of ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke, (iii) death.
