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.
Background: Family caregivers are of great importance to patients undergoing treatment for cancer, but at the same time, caregivers themselves are in great risk of distress and high symptom burden which affects their quality of life and ability to support the patients. Within hematology the context of treatment from hospital to home has changed in the past years placing more responsibilities on caregivers. Finding new ways to support caregivers within the health care context is important. Psychosocial interventions can enhance emotional well-being, and peer to peer support model has been found to be effective for patients coping with cancer. There is a lack of knowledge and evidence of the feasibility and effects of a peer-to-peer support in caregivers within hematology. Aims: The study aim to examine the feasibility and safety of Family Caregiver Ambassador Support in caregivers of newly diagnosed patients with hematological disease, and to examine if it has an effects on symptoms and psychological wellbeing in both family caregivers and ambassadors. It is hypothesized that the family caregiver peer to peer support model will reduce symptoms of burden, reduce concerns and improve emotional and social well-being in family caregivers. Design and methods: The study is a one arm feasibility intervention trial with family caregivers (n=30) and family caregiver ambassadors (N=20). Family Caregivers will be recruited at the Department of Hematology, Rigshospitalet. Family Caregivers will be partnered with a family caregiver ambassador. The intervention will be carried out in a 12-week period and consist of telephone and/or e-mail contact and face to face meetings with one follow-up at three months. Both caregiver and ambassador data will be collected at baseline, post intervention and follow-up 3 months. Implication: The study has the potential to be a new model of care incorporated in the clinical setting to strengthen the support system for caregivers and may likely be tailored to other cancer groups and caregivers.
This study evaluates the cardiovascular effects of adding the ketone body 3-hydroxy butyrate (3-OHB) to whey protein during human endotoxemia. Further, this study compares cardiovascular changes during healthy and catabolic 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).
Food allergy is a common disease in childhood affecting up to 8% of children in Westernized countries. About 30 percent of children with food allergies are allergic to more than one food, most often milk, egg, wheat, peanut and tree nut. Peanut and hazelnut are common triggers of severe and potentially fatal food-induced anaphylactic reactions. Currently, there is no curative treatment for food allergy. Novel therapies for this potentially life-threatening condition are therefore much needed.
This study is a multi center, open-label, study of ANX005 in combination with IVIg in subjects diagnosed with GBS.
This study looks into how the type 2 diabetes medicine, semaglutide, can prevent risk of heart disease complications and stroke. Participants will either get semaglutide or placebo ("dummy" medicine) - which treatment is decided by chance. Semaglutide is a new medicine to treat type 2 diabetes and can be prescribed by doctors in some countries. The study medicine will be in a pen, and must be injected with a needle in the stomach, thigh or upper arm once a week. The study will last for 57-63 weeks. Participants will have 10 clinic visits with the study doctor, 5 visits to the specialised clinic for imaging and at least 1 phone contact. Participants' health will be monitored carefully and blood samples will therefore be taken at the clinic visits. Women cannot take part if pregnant, breast-feeding or planning to become pregnant during the study period.
The primary purpose of this study is to investigate if treatment with Ixazomib in multiple myeloma (MM) can strengthen the bones, thus making it resilient to future fractures. Ixazomib will be given at a time point when the disease is in a stable phase, decreasing the likelihood that the potential bone anabolic effect will be abrogated by catabolic effect of active MM. In order to be included in the study, the patient must have treatment demanding MM, and the disease must have been brought into at least partial remission with chemotherapy before inclusion. Moreover, the patient must have pathological bone structure on low dose CT due to the pre-existing disease.
This study is a post-market clinical follow-up (PMCF) study to identify and evaluate residual risks associated with the use of the BIOMONITOR III and BIOMONITOR IIIm that are discovered or remain even after risk analysis, risk mitigation and successful conformity assessment. Furthermore, this study will also provide additional data as required by regulatory authorities outside of the CE-region.
The aim of this study is to determine if virologically suppressed Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Type 1 infected adults on a current antiretroviral regimen (CAR) (including 2 nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors [NRTIs] plus a third agent) remain suppressed upon switching to dolutegravir/lamivudine (DTG/3TC) fixed dose combination (FDC). The main objective of the study is to demonstrate the non-inferior antiviral activity of switching to DTG/3TC FDC once daily compared to continuation of CAR over 48 weeks in virologically suppressed adults living with HIV-1. The study will also evaluate information regarding the safety and health related quality of life. The study will include Screening Phase (up to 28 days), a Randomization Phase (up to Week 52) and a Continuation Phase (post Week 52). The Continuation Phase is not applicable for participants in Sweden and Denmark. Approximately 490 participants will be randomized in 1:1 ratio to receive DTG/3TC FDC once daily for up to 52 weeks or continue their CAR for 52 weeks. Participants in the DTG/3TC FDC arm who successfully complete up to 52 weeks of treatment will have the opportunity to continue receiving DTG/3TC FDC once daily in Continuation Phase.
The present study is based on the hypothesis, that recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is associated with abnormal plasma mannose binding lectin (p-MBL) level. Secondarily, p-MBL level may affect the reproductive and the perinatal outcome in the first pregnancy following RPL. Thus, the present study aim to examine whether MBL should be a biomarker for women at risk for RPL and, secondarily, affect the reproductive and perinatal outcome, and thereby help clinicians identify fragile women who need intensified perinatal care.
The purpose of this clinical study is to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of a 3-dose schedule (2-dose primary series followed by a toddler dose) of pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) as one of the currently recommended schedules by the World Health Organization (WHO) Strategic Advisory Group of Experts (SAGE) on Immunizations and practiced in many countries. The primary hypotheses are that V114 is non-inferior to Prevenar 13™ for the 13 shared serotypes based on response rates and on anti-pneumococcal polysaccharide (PnPs) serotype-specific Immunoglobulin G (IgG) geometric mean concentrations (GMCs) at 30 days following Dose 3; that V114 is superior to Prevenar 13™ for the 2 serotypes unique to V114 based on the response rates and on anti-PnPs serotype-specific IgG GMCs at 30 days following Dose 3; and that Vaxelis™ administered concomitantly with V114 is non-inferior to Vaxelis™ administered concomitantly with Prevenar 13™ at 30 days following Dose 3 for each antigen included in Vaxelis™.
