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.
Recently, the investigators described a new mucoid phenotype of Staphylococcus aureus cultured from the airways of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients.In this observational study, the investigators plan to determine the prevalence of mucoid S. aureus in respiratory specimens of CF patients and a possible impact of mucoid S. aureus on lung disease severity.
The objective of this study is to demonstrate the superiority of Distal Radial Access (DTRA) to Conventional Transradial Access (CTRA) regarding forearm radial artery occlusion (RAO). This trial plans to include 1300 patients in around 12 locations around the world (11 participating sites in Europe and 1 participating site in Japan).
This study aims to investigate the effects of short, psychological interventions on bio-psychological stress responses after an acute stressor. The efficacy of two different approaches (expectation-bases vs. acceptance-based) will be compared to a control-group.
In this observational study, data from patients treated with the antibiotic ceftobiprole in the past will be collected. The sponsor of the study is Correvio International Sárl, based in Switzerland. Correvio has committed to the health authorities to obtain further information on possible side effects especially in patients suffering from impaired liver or renal function or immune system deficiency and compare these effects to the ones observed in patients without these health problems. Patient data are collected from historic patient charts, patients will not be treated for the purpose of this data collection. All efforts are being made to capture the data of all patients who meet the inclusion criteria and have received at least one dose of ceftobiprole since this drug was first prescribed at the site.
To assess self-reported cognitive function and health-related quality of life in patients with and without early postoperative delirium
A prospective, randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled study to determine if a hydroponically-cultivated red ginseng preparation is superior to conventionally grown ginseng and placebo for positively affecting electrical activity of the brain during performance of various cognitive tasks.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of oral edaravone in subjects with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) over 24 and 48 weeks.
The evaluation of an accurate occurrence rate for AKI is of great importance for health policy, quality initiatives as well as for designing clinical trials. The primary objective is to prospectively evaluate the incidence of AKI within 72 h after extended surgical procedures that require admission to an observation unit.
Mitochondrial diseases, estimated prevalence 1 in 4,300 adults, is caused by pathogenic mutations in genes finally encoding for mitochondrial proteins of the various enzyme complexes of the OXPHOS. Among these mutations, the 3243A>G nucleotide change in the mitochondrially encoded transfer RNALeu(UUR) leucine 1 gene (MT TL 1) is the most prevalent one. The OXPHOS dysfunction resulting from such mutations leads to increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), ultimately leading to irreversible oxidative damage of macromolecules, or to more selective and reversible redox modulation of cell signaling that may impact (adult) neurogenesis. Despite advances in the understanding of mitochondrial disorders, treatment options are extremely limited and, to date, largely supportive. Therefore, there is an urgent need for novel treatments. KH176, a new active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), is an orally bio-available small molecule under development for the treatment of these disorders (see Section 1.4). The current study will further evaluate the effect of KH176 in various cognitive domains and evaluate the effect of different doses of KH176 (See Section 1.5). In view of the growing recognition of the importance of mitochondrial function in maintaining cognitive processes in the brain, as well as the understanding of the safety profile and pharmacokinetics of KH176 following the two clinical studies described above, a more detailed study is indicated of the effects of KH176 in various cognitive domains, using the confirmed safe and well-tolerated KH176 dose of 100 mg bid, as well as a lower dose of 50 mg bid. The primary objective is an evaluation of KH176 in the attention domain of cognitive functioning, as assessed by the visual identification test score of the Cogstate computerised cognitive testing battery.
This is a randomized, double-blind, double-dummy study of single dose HDIT101 versus Standard of Care Valaciclovir. HSV-2-positive patients with at least 4 anogenital herpes lesions in the last 12 months (or at least 2 herpes lesions with previous valaciclovir long-term therapy) can be included. If a patients develops a anogenital Herpes lesion within 4 months after the screening visit, the patients will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to HDIT i.v. infusion + episodic treatment with 500 mg Valaciclovir-placebo OR to a single HDIT placebo infusion + episodic treatment with 500 mg Valaciclovir orally bid for 3 days. Study duration per patient will be 180 days starting with the randomization visit. In addition to the randomization visit, 4 visits at the site and 2 phone calls are scheduled. At every occurence of a herpetic lesion during the study, patients are treated with Valaciclovir/ Valaciclovir-placebo and need to present at the site twice to document start and end date of the lesion (unscheduled visits).
