There are about 23593 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.
Early diagnosis of cardiac amyloidosis (CA) is crucial because of the poor overall survival, high mortality and the need for early therapy including new treatment possibilities for transthyretin amyloidosis. Previously considered a rare condition, CA is being demonstrated to account for up to 17 % of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction cases as well as up to 16 % of Patients with severe aortic stenosis, undergoing surgical of transcatheter aortic valve replacement. It seems that CA is being underdiagnosed as the data of post-mortem studies demonstrate that at least 25% of elderly individuals have histologic evidence of amyloid deposits. Other common conditions with increased afterload such as hypertensive or hypertrophic heart disease that mimic echocardiographic features or clinical symptoms may be the reason of postponed recognition of CA. Furthermore, the lack of definitive biomarkers makes the diagnosis even more challenging. However, it has been shown that some clinical, laboratory and echocardiographic findings, so called "red flags", may indicate occult CA. A deeper and constructive analysis of the findings and establishment of prediction criteria could possibly lead to improvement of early CA recognition and survival in subjects at risk. We aim to prospectively perform a systematic screening for CA in individuals at risk based on predefined selection criteria. Our aim is to evaluate if specific criteria would lead to increased detection of CA and in this case, to define major and minor diagnostic criteria.
To assess quantitatively the evolution over time of electrolyte-free water clearance and electrolyte mass balance in patients with non-hypervolemic hypotonic hyponatremia
A study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of benralizumab administered subcutaneously in patients ≥ 6 to < 18 years of age with severe eosinophilic asthma, including a well-documented history of asthma exacerbations and uncontrolled asthma receiving high-dose inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) plus at least one additional controller medication.
The goal of this clinical trial is to study the effects of aerobic exercise during the early rehabilitation after ischemic stroke. The main questions it aims to answer are: - How is the recovery of motor function affected by regularly walking during the first 90 days after an ischemic stroke? - Does regularly walking during the first 90 days after ischemic stroke affect cognition, physical comfort and the immune system? Participants will exert a heart rate controlled walking programme of walking 3-5 times 30-45 minutes per week. Researchers will compare the recovery of the walking group to a control group without any demands regarding physical exercise.
The interventional, randomized, placebo-controlled, single blind phase II-trial FLORA will assess safety and immunogenicity of fecal microbiota transfer in combination with standard of care immunotherapy in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in a parallel group design. Subjects will be randomized 2:1 into either the FMT or placebo group.
Pneumonia is a common infectious disease of the lung, often requiring treatment in the hospital. Clinical scoring systems are available, identifying patients not requiring hospitalization. However, the course of disease of patients in the hospital remains hard to predict. While most patients will recover quickly, some will, despite appropriate treatment, develop a severe course leading to sepsis and systemic responses resulting in organ dysfunction. The PROGRESS consortium aims to identify clinical, genetic, and other molecular markers and combinations there of predicting a severe course of pneumonia in the hospital. Such predictors will, for instance, support decisions on earlier transfer of patients to intensive care and thus improving outcome. PROGRESS-COMORB aims to extend findings from the previous PROGRESS study to patients with more severe preexisting conditions and immunosuppression.
This is a Phase III, randomized, open-label, multicenter, global study to compare the efficacy and safety of Datopotamab Deruxtecan (Dato-DXd) in combination with durvalumab and carboplatin compared with pembrolizumab in combination with histology-specific platinum-based chemotherapy as first-line treatment of adults with stage IIIB, IIIC, or IV NSCLC without actionable genomic alterations (including sensitizing EGFR mutations, and ALK and ROS1 rearrangements).
Researchers are looking for a better way to prevent an ischemic stroke which occurs when a blood clot travelled to the brain in people who within the last 72 hours had: - a stroke due to a blood clot that formed outside the heart (acute non-cardioembolic ischemic stroke), or - temporary stroke-like symptoms with a high risk of turning into a stroke (high-risk transient ischemic attack), and who are planned to receive standard of care therapy. Ischemic strokes or transient ischemic attacks result from a blocked or reduced blood flow to a part of the brain. They are caused by blood clots that travel to the brain and block the vessels that supply it. If these blood clots form elsewhere than in the heart, the stroke is called non-cardioembolic. People who already had a non-cardioembolic stroke are more likely to have another stroke. This is why they are treated preventively with an antiplatelet therapy, the current standard of care. Antiplatelet medicines prevent platelets, components of blood clotting, from clumping together. Anticoagulants are another type of medicine that prevents blood clots from forming by interfering with a process known as coagulation (or blood clotting). The study treatment asundexian is a new type of anticoagulant currently under development to provide further treatment options. The way it works, it aims to further improve the standard of care with regard to the risk of bleeding. The main purpose of this study is to learn whether asundexian works better than placebo at reducing ischemic strokes in participants who recently had a non-cardioembolic ischemic stroke or temporary stroke-like symptoms when given in addition to standard antiplatelet therapy. A placebo is a treatment that looks like a medicine but does not have any medicine in it. Another aim is to compare the occurrence of major bleeding events during the study between the asundexian and the placebo group. Major bleedings have a serious or even life-threatening impact on a person's health. Dependent on the treatment group, the participants will either take asundexian or placebo as tablets once a day for at least 3 months up to 31 months. Approximately every 3 months during the treatment period, either a phone call or a visit to the study site is scheduled on an alternating basis. In addition, one visit before and up to two visits after the treatment period are planned. During the study, the study team will: - Check vital signs such as blood pressure and heart rate - Examine the participants' heart health using an electrocardiogram (ECG) - Take blood samples - Ask the participants questions about how they are feeling and what adverse events they are having. An adverse event is any medical problem that a participant has during a study. Doctors keep track of all adverse events that happen in studies, even if they do not think the adverse events might be related to the study treatments. In addition, the participants will be asked to complete a questionnaire on quality of life at certain time points during the study.
The goal of this observational study is to compare the recommendations of the artificial intelligence clinical decision support system 'ADBoard', with the recommendations of physicians by tumor conferences in patients with hepatobiliary tumors. The main questions it aims to answer are: Can ADBoard achieve a high level of similar recommendations as physicians' tumor conferences? Can ADBoard consider a more complete set of patient-related data than in physicians' tumor conferences? Can ADBoard reduce the time between the first time the patient is discussed at the tumor conference and the start of the recommended treatment plan? Participants will have their hepatobiliary tumor treatments determined by either tumor conference with ADBoard, or tumor conference without ADBoard.
Novo Nordisk is developing the study medicine Mim8 for the treatment of haemophilia A. The study aims to show similar levels of Mim8 in blood when using a new pen injector, called DV3407-C1 pen injector, and when using a syringe and cartridge. The new pen injector is intended to facilitate the administration of Mim8 for patients with haemophilia A. The participants will get Mim8 as injection under the skin (subcutaneously) of the belly using the DV3407-C1 pen injector and a needle (hereinafter referred to as pen injector) or using a needle and syringe from a cartridge (hereafter called syringe and cartridge). The participants will receive one injection with Mim8, either with the DV3407-C1 pen injector or with a syringe and cartridge. The study participation will last up to 20 weeks. Only healthy men can take part in the study.
