There are about 11304 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Denmark. 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 purpose of this study is to investigate the difference in late radiation morbidity between hypofractionated and standard fractionated breast irradiation given to women operated with breast conservation for early breast cancer.
This study is being done to find out what factors may be related to the risk of getting a second breast cancer among women who already have breast cancer in one breast. It will look at how genes, treatment for breast cancer; including radiation therapy, and the effects of different lifestyle activities, may affect the risk of breast cancer. It will use different processes to find genes that might increase the risk of breast cancer. The results of this study may help to develop better ways to detect, treat and prevent breast cancer. This study will compare women who have breast cancer in both breasts to women who have breast cancer in only one breast.
The aim of this study is to enroll 785 eligible stage II colon cancer patients in order to validate the performance of ColoPrint in estimating 3-year relapse rate. Secondary objectives include comparing the objective risk assessment results from the prognostic profile (ColoPrint) to both the risk assessment based on the ASCO criteria, as well as the Investigator's independent assessment. As this is the first prospective study of ColoPrint, this study will also address the logistics and quality assurance of using ColoPrint in clinical practice. Patient treatment is at the discretion of the physician, adhering to National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN)-approved regimens or a recognized alternative. The enrollment period will be 6 years. It is expected that 1800 to 2400 patients will be enrolled in order to obtain 785 analysable stage II samples from eligible patients. Approximately 25-35 clinical sites will be involved worldwide. The statistical analysis will be performed by Agendia and an independent research institute or hospital. Study Design Extension Study: This will be a prospective study to measure the impact of ColoPrint on adjuvant treatment in stage 2 colorectal cancer patients. After surgery the tumor sample will be shipped in RNA Retain to Agendia. The online Clinical Report Form (CRF) 0 will be completed to document if the patient fulfils the inclusion criteria. Baseline clinical data and the patient and physician chemotherapy intention, patient's perceived recurrence risk and decisional conflict without knowing the ColoPrint result will be entered in CRF 1. After completion of CRF1 the ColoPrint result is released. CRF2 will be completed after the final treatment decision has been made. This CRF will capture the patient and physician chemotherapy intention, patient's perceived recurrence risk and decisional conflict, impact of ColoPrint and the actual treatment the patient will receive. CRF3 will be completed 12 months after enrolment and will capture the patient status, patient's perceived recurrence risk and decisional conflict. CRF4 and 5 will be completed 3 and 5 years after surgery and will capture the patient status. A sample size of 210 stage 2 colon cancer patients is required to detect a 10% overall treatment change (5% significance and 90% power). Reporting of the Results: Blinded Study; The ColoPrint results will not be reported to the physician and/or patient at the time of enrolment. All samples will be stored in a freezer until 550-575 eligible stage II patients have been enrolled. Samples will then be analyzed in one batch in a blinded fashion from the clinical results. Extension Study; The ColoPrint results will be reported to the physician and patient after CRF1 has been completed.
The purpose of this trial is to investigate the difference in late radiation morbidity between partial breast irradiation and whole breast irradiation given to women operated on with breast conservation surgery for early breast cancer with a low risk of local recurrence.
The aim of the present study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of MK-0683 in the treatment of PV and ET. This agent has most recently been shown to be a potent inhibitor of the autonomous proliferation of haematopoietic cells of PV and ET patients carrying the JAK2 V617F mutation. Accordingly, it may be anticipated that MK-0683 - by decreasing the JAK2 allele burden - may influence clonal myeloproliferation and in vivo granulocyte, platelet and endothelial activation , which are considered to be major determinants of morbidity and mortality ( thrombosis, bleeding, extramedullary haematopoiesis , myelofibrosis ) in these disorders. The effects of MK-0683 at the molecular level will be studied by global/ focused gene expression profiling, epigenome profiling and proteomics.
The aim of this study is to prevent asthma symptoms (recurrent wheeze) in childhood by supplementation with high dose vitamin D to the mother during pregnancy. Participants are mothers and children of the ABC (Asthma Begins in Childhood) cohort. Mothers are recruited during pregnancy and receive daily supplement with 2400 IU of Vitamin D3 or placebo from week 24 og gestation to 1 week after delivery. In addition all mothers are advised to take the recommended dose of 400 IU vitamin D daily. The mothers in ABC also participate in an interventional trial with fish oil supplementation, and the vitamin D randomization is stratified by fish oil treatment group. The child is followed with acute and planned vits at the research unit, and wheeze is diagnosed according to predefined algorithms.
To compare treatment outcome in patients with Crohn's disease with secondary loss of response to infliximab (i.e. initial good response follow by loss of response) treated according to current standards based only on clinical features versus treatment based on serum levels of infliximab and anti-infliximab antibody (Ab) status.
Objective: To investigate the role of maternal serum YKL-40 and uterine artery doppler, at gestational age 12, 20, 25 and 32 weeks, and the relation to preeclampsia and intrauterine growth restriction. The serum marker YKL-40 is related to conditions involving inflammation, infection, tissue remodeling, fibrosis and cancer. IUGR and preeclampsia are known to be related to inflammation and tissue remodeling. Methods: women attending screening for downs syndrome is scanned with uterine artery doppler and delivered blood samples at GA 12, 20, 25 and 32 respectively. When pregnancy outcome is registered by medical records blood samples are retrieved and analyzed for serum YKL-40. Serum YKL-40 are correlated to the presence of bilateral notching, preeclampsia and different degrees of intrauterine growth restriction.
This is a Phase III, randomized, multicenter, international, 2-arm, open-label clinical trial designed to compare the safety and efficacy of trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) with that of capecitabine + lapatinib for HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Patients were treated until disease progression, unmanageable toxicity, or study termination. Once disease progression was reported, all patients were followed for survival every 3 months until death, loss to follow-up, withdrawal of consent, or study termination.
Background: Repetition rate after a suicide attempt and self harm is very high, about 12-30 percent. Studies, reviewed by Hawton, 1999 show a lack of evidence for psychosocial interventions. Compliance with aftercare is also often very poor. Objective: Inspired by the Norwegian Baerum project, the aim is to study if active, assertive outreach, seeking contact, talking about problem solution, motivate to comply to other appointments, will reduce repetition of suicidal acts in the following years. Methods: The design is a prospective randomized, controlled trial. The patients (immediately after a suicide attempt or deliberate self harm)) included are randomized to intervention or standard (treatment as usual), aiming at at least 60 persons in each arm. The intervention is carried out through research nurses with about 8 home visits, phone contact, phone messaging, e-mails.Included are persons 12 years of age and older, danish speaking without translator and without diagnoses of severe mental illness (schizophrenia, bipolar illness, mania and severe/psychotic depression) or severe dementia. Results: Outcome is measured by repetition of suicidal act (suicide attempt, self harm or completed suicide)as recorded in medical records and by the Danish Cause of Death Register. Repetition measured by persons and by acts throughout 1 year, 2 and 3 years periods. Additional outcome is number and character of health system contacts.
