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.
This observational study seeks to investigate the underlying processes of myasthenia gravis by employing multimodal monitoring techniques. By integrating digital biomarkers alongside clinical monitoring, we aim to enhance the detection of disease activity and establish correlations between digital measures, clinical scores and various questionnaires including sores on quality of life, sleep quality or activities of daily living. Primarily including patients treated with newly approved drugs, it aims at improving and monitoring the efficacy and safety of treatment and allowing a more individualized treatment.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a rapidly progressing and disabling disease with the majority of patients dying 3-5 years after symptom onset. Given the high symptom burden, many patients and its caregivers are highly distressed. However, few programs to improve mental health for this patient group exist, and the sparse research implies that programs effective in other medical conditions may not be feasible in ALS patients. Therefore, it is highly needed to involve ALS patients, caregivers and medical staff as contributors into the development of such programs to meet the needs they really have. The envisaged project has two aims: First, the investigators want to examine whether and how it is possible to involve ALS patients in the whole research process despite rapid disease progress and severe functional impairments. Second, the investigators are interested in how contributors (i.e., patients, caregivers and medical staff) would compile a concrete psychotherapeutic program, i.e., how they set priorities in terms of format, content and treatment techniques of such a program. The investigators will closely collaborate with contributors across the whole project in designing the research process, planning assessment as well as interpreting and disseminating the findings. At the end of the study, the investigators will gather contributor feedback on their experience with the participatory approach. Results will provide important information on how ALS patients can be effectively involved in psychosocial intervention research. Identified priorites regarding psychotherapeutic programs will serve as concrete starting points to develop and test a disease-specific program within a subsequent study.
The objective of this study is to investigate the feasibility for the treatment of precancerous peri-ampullary FAP polyps in the duodenum using low-thermal argonplasma.
This is a first-in-human, phase I, open-label, monocenter, single dose-escalation study with 4 cohorts. The total trial duration for each participant will be not more than 98 d from screening to the end of the follow-up. Twenty-four participants are planned to be enrolled in the trial. Each cohort may be expanded by up to 6 additional volunteers, resulting in a maximum of 48 participants possibly enrolled in the trial. Ninety-six volunteers may need to be screened to include 48 volunteers.
- For treating unwanted tattoos, the gold standard treatment is a nanosecond or picosecond laser. However, comparative microscopic analysis is limited. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to analysis morphological changes of tattoo particles and surrounding tissue in human skin.
- Weakly crossed-linked hyaluronic acid (HA) can be delivered through multiple injections into the dermal and subnormal layer to improve skin quality. However, this treatment comes with multiple bumps for several days. - Alternatively, HA can be delivered after CO2 laser or thulium laser pretreatment. As microscopic analysis after this treatment is limited, the object of the present study is to investigate the morphological cellular changes after CO2 laser and thulium laser delivered HA into human skin.
RED4MS is a clinical trial to assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy of autologous peptide coupled red blood cells (CLS12311) in patients with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). CLS12311 consists of autologous red blood cells (RBCs) chemically coupled with antigenic peptides and aims to treat RRMS by induction of antigen-specific immune tolerance.
This study is a proof-of-concept trial of vonafexor safety, its effects on kidney function in subjects with at risk of progression Alport syndrome.
The study investigates the genetic backgrounds of extreme childhood obesity (using saliva sample) and contains short online questionnaires on family history, phenotypical characteristics and hunger behavior. It is an observational study in a predefined cohort (subjects with data in CrescNet aged 0-18 with BMI measurement(s) above the 99.5th percentile). Recruitment will initially be from CrescNet data through the cooperating pediatric and adolescent medical institutions associated with these initiative of data collection in Germany.
The main objective of this trial is to investigate the effect of the proton pump inhibitor esomeprazole on the pharmacokinetics of BI 3000202 in plasma.
