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 aim of this BZKF project is to record the current care structure for breast cancer patients in order to use this as a basis for developing possible future models for improvement. The active involvement of representatives of regional and national patient organizations in the creation of a patient-based and patient-oriented survey ensures that the needs of patients are the focus. In addition to and in contrast to other projects, relevant questions are explicitly addressed not only to patients but also to physicians in order to identify and specify the interfaces between patient wishes/suggestions and to develop clinical consequences for care. The first objective is to survey the "current situation" by recording the current care structure for breast cancer. The focus is on the survey of both groups on patient-physician communication, time management and coping strategies. By planning the future harmonization of national data structures, the basis is created for the long-term goal of an improved "target", a concept developed jointly by physicians and patients for an improved communication and care structure that focuses on the patient.
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the long-term safety profile of GTX-102 in participants with Angelman Syndrome (AS)
The main objective is to investigate the effect of food on the pharmacokinetics of BI 1015550 Formulation C2.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of modulated mid-frequency whole-body electromyostimulation (WB-EMS) combined with nutritional therapy in patients with gastrointestinal cancer.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the administration of tranexamic acid can reduce the necessity of blood transfusions in adult patients undergoing major abdominal surgery. . It will also inform about safety of tranexamic acid in this setting. The main question it aims to answer is: Does tranexamic acid lower the probability of receiving at least one blood transfusion during or after surgery? Participants will compare tranexamic acid o a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug) to see if tranexamic acid works to reduce the necessity of a blood transfusion.
Tree nuts - such as almonds - contribute to beneficial effects of the Mediterranean diet on risk for cardiovascular events, type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, hypertension, inflammation and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Almonds provide few carbohydrates, but lots of unsaturated fat and dietary fiber. But to which extent and by which mechanisms may almonds improve all aspects of the Metabolic Syndrome? Previous clinical trials showed weaker effects than rodent studies, most possibly due to low statistical power and metabolically insusceptible patients. The 3-year AGAMEMNON project aims to investigate, if 16 weeks of supplementation with almonds (vs. no treatment) in 150 patients with prediabetes and NAFLD leads to significant improvements in glycemia and liver fat, lipid metabolism, body composition and inflammation. The isocaloric design will outrule effects of weight loss and will allow the analysis of metabolic pathways between fat depots, inflammation, insulin resistance and gut function. Lipidomics are assessed as novel predictor of disease progression and metabolic response.
Onchocerciasis or river blindness is an infectious disease caused by a parasitic worm. It spreads through the bite of an infected blackfly. Common symptoms include severe itching, skin problems, and eye problems including permanent blindness. Soil-transmitted helminthiasis is an infection caused by various parasitic worms, such as whipworm, hookworm, and roundworm in the intestines. The infection spreads through eggs found in the feces of infected people. This contaminates the soil in areas with poor sanitation. Common symptoms include stomach pain, loose stools, loss of blood and proteins, delayed development in children, and reduced work performance in adults. Researchers are looking for better ways to treat onchocerciasis and soil-transmitted helminthiasis. Emodepside is being tested for the treatment of onchocerciasis and soil-transmitted helminthiasis in both men and women. It works by activating a protein called 'SLO-1', which causes paralysis and death of the parasitic worms. The main purpose of this study is to find out if there is a difference in how emodepside gets absorbed in the blood when given as a new tablet compared to the existing tablet, as a single dose. Researchers also want to find the effect of food on the absorption of the new emodepside tablet. The amount of emodepside in participants' blood will be measured at various time points. These will be used to calculate and compare the following measurements after a single dose of the new and existing tablet of emodepside without food. The amount of emodepside in participants' blood will be measured at various time points. These will be used to calculate the Cmax and AUC after a single dose of the new tablet of emodepside with and without food. The number of participants who experience medical problems during this study will be documented. During this study, participants will receive 2 different types of emodepside tablets. These include the newly developed tablet and an existing tablet that has already been used in other clinical studies. At the start of the study, the researchers will ask participants about their medical and surgical history. They will also perform a health check-up for all participants, and pregnancy tests for women. During the study, participants will have blood and urine samples taken to check for any medical problems and to measure the amount of emodepside in the blood. The study doctors will confirm that the participants can take part in the study. This may take up to 21 days. This study has 3 or 4 periods and contains up to 2 in-house periods of 16 days each. On Day 1 of each period, participants will receive the treatments, but the order of the treatment will be different. • Periods 1 and 2: Each participant will receive a single oral dose of the new or the existing emodepside tablet without food. After Period 2, an initial analysis will be performed. This analysis will help decide the doses for the next periods. - Period 3: Participants will receive a selected dose of the new emodepside tablet either with or without food. - Period 4 (optional): If needed, participants may receive a selected dose of the new emodepside tablet either with or without food. The decisions to conduct Period 4 will depend on the results of the initial analysis. Participants will have a total of 6 additional weekly visits to the study site for sample collection after the last period (either Period 3 or 4). Participants will attend a follow-up visit to the study site 49 days after taking their last dose for a health check-up. This study will include participants who are healthy and will gain no benefit from taking emodepside. However, the results of the study will provide useful information to support the further development of the new emodepside tablet. The results will also provide information on the emodepside doses to be used in patients who need treatment with emodepside. Participants will be closely monitored by the study doctors for any medical problems.
The oral cavity's microbiome is a diverse community, hosting over 700 bacterial species. Due to its varied niches, the oral cavity constitutes a highly complex environment where different microbes preferentially colonize distinct habitats. The aim of the study was to investigate the alteration of the oral microbiome during therapy with fixed orthodontic appliances using dietary supplements.
