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.
PORTICO is a Phase IIb study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of vafidemstat in an adult borderline personality disorder (BPD) population.
Gait disturbances and movement restrictions occur frequently in Parkinson's disease. Patient-centered monitoring with objective aids in the patient's daily life, supports and promotes therapy decisions made by physicians and patients. Technical, sensor-based monitoring has the potential to generate objective target parameters at any point in time during therapy (patient journey), representing the state of health and its progression, and to make this information available to physicians and patients via telemedical data management. In this study, the gait analysis system "Mobile GaitLab Home 2.0", consisting of sensors for gait data acquisition, a smartphone application for study participants (Mobile GaitLab app) and a web portal for physicians (Mobile GaitLab portal) is used for data collection. The research question is divided into three sub-objectives: First, the study explores and tests how technically generated parameters of sensor-based gait analysis can map the symptom "bradykinesis". The second goal is the explorative investigation of how a tele-health service support with low-threshold access to medical professionals, can be integrated into the care process. The third goal is the implementation evaluation of the technological developments. Here, it is examined to determine the extent to which the implementation of gait data and patient feedback (PROMs) in the patient-centered care process within the framework of clinical decision support contributes to early gait-associated therapy optimization and thus improves the general health of patients and how initial indications of positive care effects for patients can be derived. During a 60-day observation phase, study participants use the gait analysis system, which records their gait pattern throughout the day and collects data via the Mobile GaitLab app. Study participants are asked to perform standardized gait tests in the home environment several times a day, in addition to continuous measurements during the awake phase. Frequency of data collection is controlled by Mobile GaitLab Home 2.0 and can be flexibly adjusted to the study participant's health status and therapy. The Mobile GaitLab app uses questionnaires to record data on gait safety, activity, general well-being, and events relevant to the disease. An evaluation of these data (PROMs) and the results from the gait analyses, are visualized for the study participants via the Mobile GaitLab app.
This observational follow-up study of the randomized trial (RCT) DIQOL investigates long-term effects of an intervention with quality of life (QoL) diagnosis and therapy on present QoL, survival, and recurrence-free survival of colorectal cancer survivors more than 5 years after surgery. Moreover, patients' experiences with aftercare for colorectal cancer during the COVID-19 pandemic and their recollections of their illness and therapy are examined.
The objective of the study is to gain a better understanding of disease progression over time in participants with X-linked retinitis pigmentosa (XLRP).
Observational study to perform Whole Genome Sequencing in participants clinically suspected for HPP and negative for known pathogenic ALPL variants
Androcur is a type of treatment called cyproterone acetate (CPA). Androcur and other CPA treatments work by blocking a group of male sex hormones called androgens in the body. It can be given to men and women to treat conditions that are caused by higher levels of androgens. CPAs, including androcur, are currently available as treatments for doctors to give to patients who have these types of conditions. But, in a study, researchers found that participants had a certain medical problem when they took CPAs for a long time. This medical problem was a tumor of the brain or spinal cord that is mostly not malignant and is called meningioma. This eventually led health authorities to change the instructions for how doctors should use CPAs to treat patients. This included what health conditions should be treated with CPAs, how long patients should receive them, and what dose of CPA should be given. In this study, the researchers want to learn more about how doctors are using CPAs to treat patients after the update to the instructions. To answer this research question, they will give to the doctors a web-based questionnaire asking about the advisability or necessity of the treatment (also called "indications of approved use"), the measures to be followed to reduce the risk and how much the doctors knew about the risk of meningioma. The researches will then analyze the answers to the questionnaire. The results will be the percentage of physicians with correct answers for each individual knowledge question from the questionnaire. The study will include information collected from a diverse sample of doctors during approximately 3 months. The doctors must have given CPAs as a treatment to at least 1 patient in the last 12 months. There are no required visits or tests in this study.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and immunogenicity of MK-6194 in participants with active UC.
In this trial, patients that are severely affected by the disease COVID-19 will either receive infliximab, an anti-inflammatory drug, or standard therapy. Infliximab is a drug that inhibits inflammation by blocking a molecule called TNFα. The patients receive the drug via an infusion into a vein. The primary goal of this trial is to see whether the drug infliximab affects how many people died from COVID-19 after 28 days by comparing patients receiving the drug in addition to standard therapy with patients only receiving standard therapy. Furthermore, this trial will look at whether the drug is safe to use in these patients, whether it has an effect on the inflammation and whether it can affect how ill patients are after surviving the disease. The trial is conducted in more than one hospital. As COVID-19 is responsible for a global pandemic, positive results of this trial could affect patients, healthcare and economic systems worldwide.
This is a clinical study in adult participants with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (AD). The purpose of the study is to test a new medicine (LEO 138559) given by injection to see if it works to treat AD and what the side effects are when compared with a placebo injection with no medical ingredient. The study will last up to 36 weeks for each participant. The study will include a treatment period of 16 weeks, during which the participants will receive the injections, followed by a period of 16 weeks without treatment with the main purpose of continuing safety evaluations. The participants will regularly visit the clinic for tests and the study doctor will evaluate their AD. The participants will also be asked to answer questions about their AD symptoms and quality of life.
Cochlear implants are routine treatment for people with severe hearing loss. This study tests the RONDO 3, MED-EL's newest single-unit audio processor which comes with new features (Beamformer, Wind-Noise reduction, Ambient noise reduction, Transient noise reduction, Adaptive intelligence).
