Researchers are evaluating various approved injectable and oral disease-modifying treatments (DMTs) in patients with relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS) in Germany. This observational, non-interventional, multicenter, open-label study collects primary data prospectively over up to four years, alongside retrospective data. The study captures medical history, disease duration, laboratory values, disability scores (EDSS), MRI results, and relapse information to provide real-world insights into treatment use and outcomes. Patients receiving routine medical treatment with any approved injectable or selected oral DMTs—including ofatumumab, glatiramer acetate, interferon 21, teriflunomide, dimethyl fumarate, and diroximel fumarate—are enrolled without treatment allocation by the study. Two cohorts are observed: one treated primarily with injectable DMTs and another with injectable or oral DMTs. The core study period lasts about two years, with an optional extension providing an additional two years of observation, totaling up to four years. Follow-up visits and monitoring happen at the investigator's discretion and may include telemedicine. During the study, participants provide data through questionnaires and electronic case report forms. Routine clinical care procedures, such as diagnostic tests and monitoring, continue as usual. Researchers measure the proportion of patients continuing their baseline treatment at 24 months and collect ongoing clinical and imaging data. The study emphasizes real-world treatment patterns, safety, and disease activity over the extended follow-up period.

Researchers are evaluating the real-world effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of ribociclib combined with an aromatase inhibitor, with or without luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) therapy, for adjuvant treatment in patients with hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative early breast cancer at high risk of recurrence. The study also compares data from patients treated with abemaciclib plus endocrine therapy with or without LHRH, and those receiving endocrine monotherapy with or without LHRH. This observational study aims to understand treatment decisions and clinical use of ribociclib after its approval, collecting socio-economic data, quality of life, and patient compliance information. Participants receive treatment based on their physician's clinical judgment without study-assigned interventions. The treatments observed include ribociclib with an aromatase inhibitor LHRH, abemaciclib with endocrine therapy LHRH, or endocrine monotherapy LHRH. The study is conducted in various breast cancer centers and gynecological practices in Germany and Austria to represent local healthcare settings. Participants undergo assessments to monitor treatment effectiveness, safety, quality of life, and adherence to therapy over time. Data collected include clinical outcomes, adverse events, socio-economic status, and patient-reported compliance. The primary outcome measured is invasive disease-free survival over 36 months. This information will help inform clinical decision-making and improve outcomes for patients with early breast cancer in routine practice.

Researchers are evaluating how well insulin icodec helps people with type 1 diabetes control their blood sugar levels. This study focuses on participants who have never used insulin icodec before and aims to observe their treatment experience over a period of about 22 to 30 weeks. The study is designed as a real-world, multi-center, prospective observational study to assess glycemic control, treatment satisfaction, and adherence. Participants will be treated with commercially available insulin icodec as prescribed by their doctors, following usual clinical practice. There is no randomization or placebo group; all participants receive insulin icodec. The treatment period lasts approximately 22 to 30 weeks, during which participants continue their daily basal and bolus insulin regimen prior to starting insulin icodec. During the study, participants will have their blood sugar control monitored, including measuring changes in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) from baseline to week 26. Researchers will also assess treatment satisfaction and adherence. Participants must provide consent and be available for study visits and data recording throughout the study duration.

Researchers are collecting detailed information on adults diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) and related blood cancers such as other leukemias and certain types of Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. The purpose is to gather real-world data on diagnosis, treatments, and outcomes to support ALL research and improve quality of care. This registry includes patients whether or not they are part of other clinical trials. Participants included in this registry are adults aged 18 and older diagnosed with ALL or similar leukemias who are treated according to established ALL treatment protocols. It also includes patients with specific subtypes of Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma treated according to B-ALL protocols. The study involves collecting clinical data and biological samples over time to understand treatment responses and disease progression. Throughout the study, researchers will monitor participants' health outcomes, including overall survival for up to 10 years. Data collected will cover diagnostics, treatments received, and patient outcomes in routine clinical care. This long-term follow-up aims to provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of current therapies and patient experiences with these blood cancers.

Researchers are collecting new real-world data on first-line treatment for women newly diagnosed with advanced high-grade epithelial ovarian cancer in Germany. This study aims to understand how maintenance treatment with Poly ADP ribose polymerase inhibitors (PARPi) affects routine medical care, patient outcomes, and treatment sequences, especially in those undergoing surgery and chemotherapy. It also explores patient-reported experiences, physician insights, genetic testing practices, and drug safety in this setting. The study observes patients receiving first-line platinum-based chemotherapy, including those who have completed primary debulking surgery. It includes patients who have started or are planning to start chemotherapy, with the total number of chemotherapy cycles tailored by the treating physician. Women of childbearing potential must use reliable contraception during the study. The study does not involve any experimental interventions but monitors treatments as they occur in regular clinical practice. Participants will be followed to evaluate progression-free survival and other outcomes up to 84 months from the start of chemotherapy. Patient-reported outcomes will be collected electronically to capture experiences and needs during and after maintenance therapy. The study also tracks the use of BRCA/HRD testing, treatment safety, and physician experiences to better understand care patterns and long-term results in routine clinical settings.

This research focuses on adult patients with newly diagnosed or relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and related myeloid neoplasms. It aims to register all patients treated at approximately 80-90 sites in Germany and Austria, capturing comprehensive data on patient characteristics, family history, biological disease features, and clinical outcomes. The study also seeks to analyze genetic markers related to the disease and evaluate treatment responses and survival outcomes over an extended period. Patients enrolled in the study will have their disease-related genetic markers analyzed rapidly to inform treatment recommendations. Biosamples such as bone marrow, blood, plasma, skin biopsy, fingernails, hair, sputum, or urine will be collected and stored for further analysis. The study intends to assess measurable residual disease using various methods and correlate biological markers with clinical outcomes. Participants will be observed for up to 10 years, during which researchers will monitor event-free survival, relapse-free survival, cumulative incidence of relapse and death, overall survival, and quality of life. Treatment decisions, response to therapy, and geographical representation will also be recorded. Data collection includes clinical assessments and storage of biosamples, with ongoing evaluation of disease progression and patient outcomes throughout the study period.
