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 purpose of this study is to evaluate the serum concentration of guselkumab after administration using three different devices in healthy participants.
Self-monitoring of blood glucose using capillary glucose testing has a number of shortcomings compared to continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). We aimed to compare these two methods and used blood glucose measurements in venous blood as a reference. Despite considerable inter-individual variability of postprandial glycemic responses, CGM evaluated postprandial glycemic excursions which had comparable results compared to standard blood glucose measurements under real-life conditions.
Sleeping under hypoxic conditions can impair cognition and autonomic nervous activity. A short daytime nap can modify these changes. Here we propose a randomized, cross-over study to evaluate the heart rate variability during a 90 min nap in a normobaric hypoxic chamber. In addition, we will investigate sleep architecture, vigilance, attention and memory.
Prostate biopsy is indicated in patients with suspected prostate cancer and has been traditionally performed through the rectum using antibiotic prophylaxis. Increasing antibiotic resistance of intestinal bacteria is causing a growing number of patients to get post-biopsy infections. Sepsis rate after transrectal biopsies is approximately 4-10%. To reduce the risk of post-biopsy infections, transperineal approach in general anesthesia and antibiotic prophylaxis has been used. The investigators at Oslo University Hospital Aker developed MRI -TURS elastic image fusion guided transperineal prostate biopsy technique in local anesthesia and Bactrim prophylaxis as outpatient procedure. The investigators found 0.4% post-biopsy infection rate. Afterwards a pilot study using the same biopsy technique however without antibiotic prophylaxis was realized in 90 patients. None of these subjects experienced infection. The investigators wish to perform a prospective randomized trial of antibiotic prophylaxis versus none before transperineal MRI-TRUS fusion guided prostate biopsy in local anesthesia in outpatient clinic.
Study of the psychological impact of breast cancer risk communication in Cancer Genetics based on the personalized estimation of the BOADICEA V5/PLUS model ("Breast and Ovarian Analysis of Disease Incidence and Carrier Estimation Algorithm-version 5 or PLUS").
The primary objective is to assess the performance of a new magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) metrics software prototype when used in radiological practice in multiple sclerosis (MS).
A research study of how house dust mite tablets work compared to placebo in children aged between 5 and 11 years and who have allergy to house dust mites (MATIC)
The primary objective of this study is to collect safety and performance data on the Indigo Aspiration System in a patient population with lower extremity acute limb ischemia (LE ALI).
The aim of this study is to characterise the use of clinical nutrition support, especially of parenteral nutrition that is administered directly into a vein, in adult patients with critical illness. The study wants to assess nutritional balance (that means the ratio of calories and protein prescribed to calories and protein actually received). Furthermore, it wants to evaluate whether the nutrition received has influence on the patients' clinical outcome, with focus on measures of physical function, such as capability of conducting daily living activities. As the study is "observational", no specific medications or treatments will be provided as part of the study to the patients. Study patients will be observed during their stay on an intensive care unit, for a maximum duration of 15 days. Furthermore, questions on the well-being of the patients will be asked via telephone interviews 30 and 90 days after their admission to the intensive care unit. Data of approximately 1250 patients will be collected and evaluated in this study, from approximately 100 hospitals in 11 European countries (Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Spain, Sweden and United Kingdom).
The Neuroguard IEP System is a 3-in-1 carotid stent delivery system consisting of an angioplasty balloon, an integrated embolic protection device and a nitinol self-expanding stent loaded over the balloon and constrained by an outer sheath. The PERFORMANCE I study is a multi-center, prospective, single arm open label study to evaluate the safety and feasibility of the Neuroguard IEP System for the treatment of carotid artery stenosis. The primary endpoint will be the proportion of patients with Major Adverse Events (MAE) reported within 30 days from the index procedure. The primary objective of the PERFORMANCE I study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of the Neuroguard IEP Carotid Stent System when used in patients with clinically significant carotid artery stenosis requiring revascularization.
