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 two biomarkers determined in urine, "Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinases 2 (TIMP-2)" and "Insulin-like Growth Factor-Binding Protein 7 (IGFBP7)", can indicate the occurrence of Acute kidney injury (AKI) in cardiac surgery and critically ill patients at an early stage. However, no data are available whether these parameters can also predict the occurrence of AKI in the context of COVID-19 infection. An early prediction of AKI can be helpful for the optimisation of therapeutic management to improve patient outcome and for the triage of patients. The aim of this observational study is to evaluate whether the biomarker [TIMP- 2]*[IGFBP7] can predict the occurrence of AKI in critically ill patients suffering from SARS-CoV2 associated acute respiratory distress syndrome.
The prognosis of patients with severe COVID-19 disease, whose lungs are so severely diseased that they need to be supported by veno-venous ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation), is difficult to assess so far. Previously published data from studies, case reports and case series describe a very high mortality in this patient collective. The significance of established clinical prognostic cores in this patient population has not been systematically investigated. This is aggravated by the fact that even at very specialized centers only very few patients from this collective are (can be) treated, so that valid investigations are only possible in a multicenter patient collective. In this registry study, all patients diagnosed with COVID-19 and treated with vv-ECMO in the centers participating in the study should be retrospectively examined. The primary aim of the study is to investigate 30-day survival, secondary objectives include the analysis of different clinical scores at the time of ECMO implantation.
This is a prospective, epidemiological, cohort study to assess the feasibility of screening healthy asymptomatic workers for the presence of severe acute respiratory syndrome SARS-CoV-2 by pharyngeal swaps and serology at baseline, day 21 and day 40.
This phase IIa study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of multiple dosing with VB10.16 immunotherapy in combination with atezolizumab in patients with advanced or recurrent non-resectable HPV16-positive cervical cancer, who failed or are not eligible for current standard of care.
The aim of this non-interventional study is to evaluate a German version of the triage stroke-score FAST-ED performed by ambulance service personnel in a pre-hospital setting using a smartphone app (Join-Triage, Allm).
The primary objective of this study is to investigate the efficacy of MT-7117 on time to onset and severity of first prodromal symptoms (burning, tingling, or stinging) associated with sunlight exposure in subjects with EPP or XLP aged 12-75.
This project aims to verify the hypothesis that spelt products are more tolerable than bread wheat products in a target group of individuals with self-diagnosed wheat sensitivity. In addition, the influence of different manufacturing processes will be considered.
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a highly prevalent and debilitating mental disorder with a high lifetime prevalence of 16-20%. Particularly for people with low socio-economic status, the existing and effective treatment options are hard to reach and show weaker effectivities. There is a potential to ameliorate depressive symptoms and improve quality of life in persons with mild-to-moderate depression by providing access to stimulating computerized trainings. Single computerized trainings that target depressive symptoms have been tested in laboratory and clinical settings so far. To date, innovative market access and confirmatory studies are missing for a large-scale implementation of such trainings. Thereby, the present work will foster a digitalized training paradigm (Paced-Auditory Serial Addition Task; PASAT) which was previously shown to reduce depressive symptoms, but in a novel innovative and gamified form on a tablet-PC handed out to participants. Different versions of the same training paradigm that comprise additional game elements will be compared. The feasibility study will gather data on effect size estimates of symptom severity reduction, user experience and usage in an ecological valid setting.
The objective of this study is to determine the long-term safety and effectiveness from the R3 Acetabular Hip System. The study hypothesis is that implant survivorship of the R3 cup is at least 97% at 3 years, 95% at 5 years, 93% at 7 years, and 90% at 10 years follow-up.
This is a study in adolescents and adults with Generalized Pustular Psoriasis (GPP). People between 12 and 75 years old can take part in the study. The study is open to people who had GPP flare-ups in the past but whose skin is clear or almost clear when they join the study. The purpose of the study is to test 3 different doses of a medicine called spesolimab and to see whether it helps to prevent GPP flare-ups. Participants are put into 4 groups by chance. Three groups get different doses of spesolimab. The fourth group gets a placebo. Placebo looks like spesolimab but does not contain any medicine. Spesolimab and placebo are given as an injection under the skin. Participants are in the study for about 1 year and 4 months. During this time, they visit the study site about 15 times. For the first 11 months, participants get spesolimab or placebo injections every month. At the study visits, the doctors check participants' skin for signs of a new GPP flare-up. The doctors also check the general health of the participants. If a participant has a GPP flare-up during the study, more visits may be necessary. In case of a flare-up, participants get a dose of spesolimab as an infusion into a vein.
