There are about 6874 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 purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of balcinrenone/dapagliflozin compared with dapagliflozin alone on patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and albuminuria. This study will evaluate the effect of the balcinrenone/dapagliflozin on urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR), compared with dapagliflozin in patients with CKD. This is a dose-finding study aiming to identify an optimal dose of balcinrenone/dapagliflozin for a future Phase III study in patients with CKD.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate safety and tolerability of preservative-free parenteral treprostinil in paediatric patients with PAH (PH Group 1) who are below 18 years of age. The main question it aims to answer is: • if preservative-free parenteral treprostinil is safe and tolerable in the treatment of paediatric PAH in patients who are either treatment-naïve or have been previously treated with commercially available parenteral treprostinil formulations. Participants will receive either subcutaneous (SC) or intravenous (IV) preservative-free treprostinil and will be observed for 5 months (20 weeks ± 1 week).
The goal of this observational study is to learn about epidemiology, biologic markers, disease subtypes and possible prognostic factors in essential tremor (ET) patients. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - The prevalence of ET-plus compared to ET in a prospectively collected ET population. - To assess in detail the heterogenous group of ET patients using comprehensive clinical (motor and non-motor scales, questionnaires), imaging [magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), sonography of substantia nigra and cerebral vessels], neurophysiological (tremor analysis, digital spiral drawing) and laboratory markers (sGFAP, sNfL, routine laboratory parameters). - To assess possible non-invasive markers of neurodegeneration in ET patients (optic coherence tomography, alpha-synuclein in olfactory mucosa) Participants will be asked to undergo the above mention evaluation at baseline and at follow-up approx. 5 years later. Researchers will compare the findings within the ET group to independently existing cohorts of healthy controls and/or patients with other movement disorders like Parkinson's disease.
Assessment and differences in the centration, tilt and wobble of two secondary IOLs without capsular support.
Comparison of the clinical performance of two enhanced monofocal IOLs with similar design.
The aim of this cross-over intervention study is to investigate the influence of hesperetin applied in combination with sucrose in comparison to an equally sweet-tasting sucrose-only solution and an isocaloric sucrose-only solution on markers of energy metabolism
The goal of this case-control study is to investigate energy metabolism and brown adipose tissue (BAT) activity in individuals with Gilbert's syndrome (GS) and controls. The main focus of the study is to analyze: 1. the link between bilirubin metabolism and metabolic health. 2. energy metabolism and body composition in individuals with Gilbert's syndrome and control subjects 3. brown adipose tissue activity in Gilbert's syndrome and healthy controls. Participants will undergo the following investigations: 1. cold exposure 2. PET-CT imaging with 18-F-FDG 3. MRI imaging of liver, abdominal fat and muscle 4. blood sampling 5. indirect calorimetry 6. bioelectrical impedance analysis 7. infrared thermography Researchers will compare individuals with GS and control subjects in terms of metabolic health, body composition and BAT activity.
Background and aim: Colorectal Cancer (CRC) is one of the most frequent cancer entities in the western world. It is known that obesity is one of the major risk factors for CRC. In contrast, mild obesity seems to have a positive effect on postoperative outcome, which is known as the "obesity paradox". Also, the number of resected lymph nodes (LN) during surgery is very important for correct staging. The aim of the present project is to evaluate the impact of BMI and LN-yield on long term overall survival (OS) of CRC patients treated with curative intent. Methods: Patients treated for CRC between 1998 and 2011 at the Klinik Favoriten in Vienna, Austria were analyzed in this retrospective single-center cohort analysis concerning OS.
The main aim of this project is to gain knowledge about the muscle-tendon pathology of moderately to severely affected young people with cerebral palsy and their risk for cardiometabolic diseases and chronic inflammation. Furthermore, it will be investigated whether there are associations between the existing pathophysiology as well as inactivity and muscle function, cardiometabolic risk factors and inflammation. Moreover, the potential of the target group for adaptation of its muscular, cardiorespiratory, and endocrine system will be investigated. The study parameters will be determined in adolescents and young adults aged 14 to 25 years with moderate to severe spastic cerebral palsy and compared with those of their less severely affected and healthy peers (cross-sectional study). In addition, the more affected individuals will participate in a 12-week training intervention (longitudinal study) performed with special tricycles (i.e., Frame Runners). To measure the study parameters, ultrasound, strength tests, near-infrared spectroscopy, blood analyses, and spiroergometry will be used. The fitness training will be performed two times a week for 12 weeks with the Frame Runners.
The goal of this clinical trials to learn about potential additives in reducing dental plaque. The main questions it aims to answer is: • is there a difference in the plaque reducing effect of oil pulling with sesame oil compared to rinsing with distilled water? Participants will rinse with 15 ml of their allocated liquid for 15 min every morning for 8 weeks. Researchers will compare sesame oil against distilled water to see if there is a difference in the plaque reducing effect.
