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 an unbiased metabolomics approach with subsequent pathway analyses, the current study seeks to examine the effect of Liraglutide treatment on the metabolic signature in treated patients as well as the effect of Liraglutide on various echocardiographic parameters of cardiac function and rhythm profile, thus paving the way for future research to explain the effects of Liraglutide on cardiovascular mortality and overall mortality in treated patients.
Longterm oral anticoagulation with very low dose rivaroxaban (2.5mg bid) in combination with aspirin has been shown superior over standard aspirin monotherapy in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD) in the COMPASS trial. To date, there are no data comparing these - antithrombotic strategies and to provide insights about mechanistic effects of very low dose rivaroxaban on top of aspirin for longterm treatment. Thus, the goal of the planned pilot study will be to identify effects of rivaroxaban on platelet function, platelet-mediated vascular inflammation and particularly, platelet-mediated thrombin generation as well as the underlying mechanisms and to reveal differences in mechanistic effects during longterm treatment with combined novel antiplatelet/anticoagulant strategies. This study is planned as descriptive study.
This pivotal multicenter study has been launched to collect spectral Raman data paired with validated glucose reference values in diabetic patients.
Pharmacological stress-echocardiography examinations are routinely performed in daily clinical practice. Usually, the echo probe is manually placed on the patient's thorax by the physician. The ProbeFix is a novel device, enabling the fixation of the ultrasound probe on the patient's thorax. Therefore, there is no need to manually hold the probe. This may improve the standardization of the examination and my reduce its duration. The present trial will investigate, whether the utilization of the ProbeFix reduces the duration of stress-echocardiography examinations and improves standardization of image acquisition.
The primary research question: In critically ill patients with nutrition 'risk factors', what is the effect of providing combined EN/PN to the group prescribed a higher dose (≥2.2 grams/kg/day) of protein/amino acid administration compared to a low group prescribed ≤1.2 gram/kg/day (EN only) on patient's functional recovery as measured by 6-minute walk distance just prior to hospital discharge? The hypothesis: Compared to a control group reflective of usual care prescribing practices and an EN only approach, the administration of a higher dose protein/amino acids using EN and PN to nutritionally high-risk critically ill patients will be associated with improved functional outcome.
This is a prospective observational study of vaccine efficacy and safety in adult patients with malignancies (melanoma/Hodgkin's lymphoma/Non-small cell lung cancer). The primary objective is to compare serotype specific immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody titres before and after pneumococcal vaccination in patients receiving Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors (ICI). As an explorative objective, serotype specific IgG antibodies measured by ELISA and those measured by Opsonophagocytosis assay (OPA) after pneumococcal vaccination in patients receiving ICI will be correlated. In addition, the incidence of immune related adverse events (irAE) in patients vaccinated during ICI treatment will be determined.
The reason for this study is to see if the drug abemaciclib in combination with nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitors (anastrozole or letrozole) is effective in participants with Hormone Receptor Positive (HR+), Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 Negative (HER2-) advanced breast cancer that have certain disease characteristics.
This phase 2 study is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of allogeneic donor lymphocyte infusions (DLI) combined with the bispecific T cell engager blinatumomab in B-precursor ALL patients who have mixed chimerism (MC) or are MRD-positive after allogeneic SCT and are refractory to at least one MRD- or MC-targeted therapy (i.e. blinatumomab, DLI, tyrosine kinase inhibitors or other agents).
Study to compare pharmacokinetics of tacrolimus prolonged-release (PR) capsules and Advagraf® PR capsules in stable kidney transplant patients.
This study aims at assessing additional performance characteristics of the SoundBite™ Crossing System with regards to the luminal passage of complex Chronic Total Occlusions (CTO) by evaluating clinically relevant efficacy, safety, cost benefit and treatment pathway endpoints.
