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.
Pivotal Summary: The study is designed to demonstrate safety and efficacy of the Extravascular Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (EV ICD) System. Continued Access Summary: This study is designed to provide continued access to the Extravascular Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (EV ICD) System.
Urinary dipsticks are commonly used in emergency departments since they are a cheap and quick diagnostic tool. However the sensitivity and specificity of urinary dipsticks might be compromised in emergency departments due to fluid imbalance and acute illness itself.
This study evaluated the long-term safety, efficacy, and pharmacodynamics of elexacaftor (ELX, VX-445) in triple combination (TC) with tezacaftor (TEZ) and ivacaftor (IVA) in subjects with cystic fibrosis (CF) who are heterozygous for the F508del mutation and a gating or residual function mutation (F/G and F/RF genotypes).

While the majority of patients with acute pancreatitis suffer a mild and uncomplicated course of disease, up to 20% develop a more severe course with development of pancreatic and/or peripancreatic necroses. With time, these necroses become encapsulated with a well-defined inflammatory wall, so called walled-off necroses (WON). Up to 30% of WONs become infected, which prolongs the length of hospital stay, increases morbidity and mortality significantly, and generally requires an invasive intervention. During the last decade, minimally invasive therapies consisting of percutaneous and endoscopic, transluminal drainage followed, if necessary, by percutaneous or endoscopic necrosectomy, have replaced open surgery as the standard treatment resulting in better patient outcomes. The investigators have for nearly two decades been practicing an endoscopic step-up approach as standard treatment for infected WON. Recently, lumen apposing metal stents (LAMS) have been introduced for the treatment of pancreatic fluid collections. The stent is fully-covered and shaped with two bilateral anchor flanges with a saddle in between. A dedicated through-the-scope delivery system, where the tip serves as an electro cautery device enables extra-luminal access and deployment of the stent. Initial results from primarily retrospective case series were promising. However, a recent randomized controlled trial failed to demonstrate superiority in terms of number of necrosectomies needed, treatment success, clinical adverse events, readmissions, length of hospital stay (LOS), and overall treatment costs. Furthermore, a number of serious adverse events with development of pseudoaneurisms probably due to collapse of the cavity have led to alterations in treatment with sequential computed tomography (CT) scans and insertion of double pigtail stents within the metal stent. In that trial, the mean diameter of the treated necroses was limited and in addition, the study was launched before the introduction of a novel 20 mm in diameter LAMS. The investigators hypothesize, that use of a 20 mm LAMS in large caliber WON is superior to the standard double pigtail technique. Aim To compare the use of a novel 20 mm lumen apposing metal stent (LAMS) (Hot Axios, Boston Scientific) with a conventional double pigtail technique for endoscopic transluminal drainage of large (> 15 cm) pancreatic and/or peripancreatic walled-of necrosis (WON).
The aim of this study is to describe hormonal responses and changes of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract during healthy and catabolic inflammatory conditions. Participants will receive isocaloric, isonitrogenous beverages of either whey or 3-OHB+whey in a randomized crossover design during either healthy (overnight fast) or catabolic conditions (inflammation/endotoxemia + 36 h fast and bed rest).
Our hypothesis is that decreased concentration of ghrelin after LSG is important for the decreased appetite and food intake postoperatively. We therefore expect infusion of ghrelin will increase an ad libitum food intake after LSG. We also expect that a decreased postprandial concentration of ghrelin after LSG play a role for increased insulin secretion and decreased postprandial plasma glucose concentrations after surgery.
Despite recent pharmacological and technological advantages, hypoglycemia remains to be the key limiting factor in achieving optimal glycemic control in people with type 1 diabetes. State-of-the-art treatment for type 1 diabetes is insulin in pens or pumps that focus on reducing hyperglycemia after relative insulin deficiency e.g. after food intake. In recent years, we focused on adding low-dose glucagon to insulin therapies for the treatment and prevention of hypoglycemia - referred to as "dual-hormone treatment". We have shown that low-dose glucagon is efficient in treating mild hypoglycemia and that several factors may affect its glucose response. Our next step is to test whether the combined delivery of insulin and glucagon can improve glucose control in individuals with type 1 diabetes. In this proposal, we want to test the efficacy, safety and feasibility of a dual-hormone closed-loop system, also known as an artificial pancreas. The closed-loop system involves automatic infusion of glucagon and insulin based on continuous glucose measurements. The system will be tested in a 33-hour in-clinic study comparing the glucose control by the combined automatic delivery of insulin and glucagon with the automatic delivery of insulin-only. The study is performed at Steno Diabetes Center Copenhagen (SDCC) in collaboration with the Technical University of Denmark (DTU). We expect that the study will clarify whether low-dose glucagon added to insulin therapy can improve the glucose control in adults with type 1 diabetes. We believe that the utilization of glucagon will allow for a weight neutral optimization of glucose control, reduce risk of hypoglycemia and reduce disease burden that will reduce diabetes complications and cardiovascular diseases.
In this study we aim to determine the incidence of fatal spontaneous subarachnoid haemorrhage outside hospital. Also, we aim to investigate these patient´s pattern of contact to the health care system immediately before their death and to describe the circumstances under which they died.
The purpose of the study is to assess long-term safety and tolerability of weekly doses of rozanolixizumab in subjects with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP).
