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.
Severe aortic stenosis, a common heart valve issue, is usually treated surgically or through intervention. Diagnosis typically occurs after symptoms appear, but research suggests already treating asymptomatic cases may help patients live longer. Current diagnostics using echocardiography are detailed but time-consuming, prompting the exploration of a smartphone application using built-in microphones and machine learning for quicker and more accessible screening.
This study will look at how CagriSema, semaglutide and cagrilintide regulate insulin effects in the body of people with type 2 diabetes (T2D). CagriSema is a new investigational medicine that combines two medicines called cagrilintide and semaglutide. Doctors may not yet prescribe CagriSema. Participants will either get CagriSema, semaglutide, cagrilintide, or a ''dummy'' medicine. Which treatment the participants will get is decided by chance. Participants will get the study medicine together with the current daily diabetes medicine metformin. Participants should not take other medicines for diabetes during the study. The study will last for about 42 weeks.
To assess if ultrasound guided venous puncture reduces the risk for access site complication in the contex of atrial fibrillation ablation.
The aim of this observational register study is to establish a registry that completely records and compiles the data from routinely performed technical examinations (navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation, intraoperative neuromonitoring and stimulation, MRI imaging including tractography and connectome) and clinical tests over time (pre-, intra- and postoperative, under adjuvant therapy, as part of follow-up care) of patients with intracranial masses and lesions.
The availability as well as the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) systems for severe acute respiratory or cardiocirculatory failure is steadily increasing. The decision to initiate ECMO therapy is predominantly made in emergency situations, for which the focus is on acute survival. The decisions if a patient will profit from ECMO therapy are mainly made from clinical experience and educated guess by the attending team. However, it is unknown how useful these clinical predictions are. Therefore, this observational study will compare estimated and real outcome of ECMO patients.
Comparison of preparation times (in seconds) for emergency airway management (equipment only) with and without a template.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of ide-cel with lenalidomide (LEN) maintenance to that of LEN maintenance alone in adult participants with Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma (NDMM) who have achieved a suboptimal response post autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT).
The goal of this cross-sectional observational study is to to perform a thorough characterization of the quantitative and qualitative differences in peripheral blood cells, and circulating factors (proteins, metabolites, lipids, extracellular vesicles) in different stages of several metabolic diseases (diabetes, obesity, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease) that share common pathophysiological mechanisms and in comparison with adult healthy controls. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Which are the quantitative (number and concentration) and qualtitative (characteristics, functional assays) differences in platelets in patients with metabolic diseases vs subjects without metabolic diseases - Which are the quantitative (number and concentration) and qualtitative (characteristics, functional assays) differences in leucocytes or circulating molecules in patients with metabolic diseases vs subjects without metabolic diseases
DECIDE- Deep phenotyping for clinical inferring response in treatment resistant depression -Study Building upon the "Biobanking" initiative at the Max Planck Institute of Psychiatry, the present project aims to identify clinically relevant subtypes of treatment-resistant depression (TRD) through Clinical Deep Phenotyping (CDP). According to clinical trials, 30-40% of the patients suffering from TRD benefit from lithium treatment. By collecting multimodal biological and clinical-diagnostic markers, such as structural and functional brain imaging via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), brain signals from electroencephalography, comprehensive blood tests, assessment of perception and cognition through neuropsychological testing, as well as the evaluation of specific depression symptoms and psychological and other comorbidities using standardized questionnaires, a bio-clinical signature will be identified using multivariate machine learning algorithms as an integration method. This signature aims to predict the response to lithium therapy in TRD. Prospectively, such an algorithm could later personalize the treatment decision of 'lithium administration in TRD'. This concept is in line with the Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) of the National Institute of Mental Health (NIH) and aims to offer lithium therapy as a personalized treatment strategy for TRD. Specifically, this means that the likelihood of treatment response can be estimated before administration based on the results of the present study, thus enabling lithium to be offered specifically to those patients who are likely to benefit from it. The study design is non-interventional, meaning the decision for lithium treatment is made for patients according to clinical routine in accordance with the recommendation of the German National Treatment Guideline (NVL) independent of study enrollment. Study participation does not influence treatment decisions for the patients.
The main objective of this trial is to establish the bioequivalence of the BI 1015550 Formulation C2 (Test, T) and the BI 1015550 Formulation C1 (Reference, R), following a single oral dose administration.
