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.
In breast oncology, the increasing number of oral and intravenous drug therapies pose great challenges for patient management. Numerous studies demonstrate that well-informed patients develop higher confidence in their treatment and a greater sense of disease control, resulting in increased adherence and persistence as well as potentially better outcome. The electronic Patient Reported Outcome (ePRO) tool CANKADO is designed to help oncologists to fill the gap between good, personalized care and a time and resource-saving treatment for cancer patients. CANKADO helps patients and their physicians regarding therapy management by a standardized documentation procedure and, if needed, direct feedback to patients by the integrated Pro-React system. GeRA includes patients undergoing systemic therapy for breast cancer with access to CANKADO. The trial is based on questionnaires that are answered by patients via the CANKADO Patient App. Primary objective is to gain knowledge on the health economic impact of CANKADO resource utilization in breast cancer care including the evaluation of physicians' time and patient experience.
This is a Phase III, randomized, parallel-arm, placebo controlled, double blind, multicenter study assessing the efficacy and safety of durvalumab versus placebo following SoC chemotherapy in patients with completely resected stage II-III NSCLC who are MRD+ post surgery
In this study, investigators aim to explore the status of advanced endoscopy in different endoscopy units all over the world.
The authors hypothesized that inhaled sedation, either with isoflurane or sevoflurane, might be associated with improved clinical outcomes in patients with COVID-19-related ARDS, compared to intravenous sedation. The authors therefore designed the "Inhaled Sedation for COVID-19-related ARDS" (ISCA) non-interventional, observational, multicenter study of data collected from the patients' medical records in order to: 1. assess the efficacy of inhaled sedation in improving a composite outcome of mortality and time off the ventilator at 28 days in patients with COVID-19-related ARDS, in comparison to a control group receiving intravenous sedation (primary objective), 2. investigate the effects of inhaled sedation, compared to intravenous sedation, on lung function as assessed by gas exchange and physiologic measures in patients with COVID-19-related ARDS (secondary objective), 3. report sedation practice patterns in critically ill patients during the COVID-19 pandemics (secondary objective).
This study aims to investigate outcomes and predictors of outcome after extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) therapy for severe acute respiratory syndrome (ARDS) in COVID-19 patients.
In this study researchers want to gain more information on patients who are treated with Metformin for their Type 2 Diabetes. Adult female and male patients with a prescription of a Metformin containing drug will be invited to the study in a public pharmacy after the decision for treatment with Metformin has been made by the treating physician. The pharmacist will provide interested participants access to a special phone App and participants are asked to complete via this phone App a questionnaire on their health situation with special focus on their Type 2 Diabetes. This includes questions on complications and self-care activities in relation to their diabetes, questions on quality of life and health history. There will be no extra visit to the treating doctor or a pharmacy. The study is aiming to have the questionnaire completed by 300 participants.
Families of children with rare diseases (i.e., not more than 5 out of 10.000 people are affected) are often highly burdened with fears, insecurities and concerns regarding the affected child and his/her siblings. The aim of the present research project is to examine the psychosocial burden of the children with rare (congenital) pediatric surgical diseases and their family in order to draw attention to a possible psychosocial care gap in this population.
Proof of concept study to investigate the impact of a food supplement consisting of Acacia gum on changes of gut microbiota and production of short chain fatty acids. Additionally, safety, tolerability and parameters of bowel function (stool frequency, stool consistency and gastrointestinal symptoms) will be assessed during the study.
This clinical study was designed to assess the efficacy and safety of DFV890 for the treatment of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-Cov-2) infected patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia and impaired respiratory function.
This prospective observational study examines the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on oral health, taking psychosocial factors into account, and the possible impact of a high periodontitis risk on the severity of the need for treatment in Covid-19 patients.
