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.
It will be investigated whether it is possible to predict the effect or lack of effect of first-line treatment by analysing cancer cells from the individual patient receiving standard first line treatment. Also, the feasibility of selecting second-line therapy based on pre-treatment biopsies will be investigated. Cells from pancreatic cancer will be grown in the laboratory to form small, circulating tumors and adjacent tissue, so called tumoroids. The tumoroids will then be exposed to different pre-specified anticancer drugs to hopefully reveal sensitivity or lack of sensitivity in the specific patient.
Background: despite developments a substantial part of patients with depression will only recover slowly. Light therapy from light boxes has shown antidepressant effects but have several limitations: time consuming, only allowing a fixed spectral distribution, only delivered at a specific time-point, and often with inadequate light intensity delivered at the retina. Therefore, we developed a new dynamic lighting system using light fixtures that are built into the room and can change intensity and spectral distribution of light during the 24-hour day. Objectives: the objective of this trial is to assess the beneficial and harmful effects of a newly developed dynamic lighting system using Light Emitting Diodes (LED) -light armatures aiming to mimic sunlight, when installed in the patient rooms of a psychiatric inpatient ward, compared with usual care. Design: the design is a randomised controlled trial with two arms: an active dynamic light trial arm and a usual care arm with blinding of depression outcome, and data analyses. Randomisation will be 1:1. Inclusion criteria: a current episode of a major depressive episode as part of a unipolar or bipolar disorder. Patients with bipolar depression should be in current and recent (minimum two months before admission) mood stabilising treatment, age > 18 years, informed consent. Exclusion criteria: severe suicidality, abuse of alcohol and / or drugs, actual psychotic state, Young Mania Rating score above 7 or fulfilling diagnostic criteria for a current hypomanic or manic episode. Interventions: the experimental intervention is a dynamic LED-light system in 10 separate patient single rooms with three dynamic lamps: a window jamb built-in light panel, two ceiling mounted lamps, and a wall mounted lamp. The usual care is constant standard LED-light. Primary outcome: score on the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale 6 item version (HAM-D6) scale at week 3 Secondary outcomes: score on the Suicidal Ideation Attribution Scale (SIDAS ) scale at week 3, and score in the Hamilton. Depression Rating Scale 17 item version (HAM-D17) scale at week 3, and score on the World Health Organisation Quality Of Life questionaire abbreviated version (WHOQOL-BREF) at week 3. Trial size: in total, 150 patients. Time schedule: the trial will be submitted for regulatory approvals January 2019, the first participant will be included April 2019, the expected last follow-up of the last participant will be December 2020, the expected last follow-up after 6 months will be June 2021, data will be analysed from June 2021 till September 2021, manuscripts will be prepared from December 2020, and we expect to submit first manuscript December 2021.
To investigate which treatment option (corticosteroid treatment alone or combined corticosteroid treatment and vestibular rehabilitation) is the most effective in patients diagnosed with vestibular neuritis.
The aim of this study is to make a health economic evaluation comparing novice physicians use of VivaSight double-lumen tube and a conventional double-lumen tube for single-lung ventilation during thoracic surgery at a teaching hospital. The hypothesis is, that both double-lumen tubes are equally cost-effective and the the incidence of fiberoptic bronchoscope use it the same for both tubes.
Non-interventional, multi-country cohort study using existing data and including adults (≥18 years) with a diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Atrial fibrillation is the most common heart rhythm disorder, and the incidence is rapidly increasing. Cardioversion using an electrical shock (DC-cardioversion) is an important treatment to reduce symptoms and improve patient's quality-of-life. The treatment is performed by applying gel electrodes to the chest. Cardioversion is not always successful, and it is unknown which electrode-position provides the optimal efficacy. This study aims to compare two electrode positions, which are in clinical use: Anterior-posterior (left front and left back) versus anterior-lateral (right front and left side of the chest).
This is a prospective, 6 week cross-over study on the effect of High flow nasal cannula (HFNC) delivered air in patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD), in need of ambulatory oxygen therapy. Primary outcome: To investigate intra-personal differences in 6MWT, as well as SO2 and BORG score at the end of the 6MWT, at baseline, at 6 weeks and 12 weeks To investigate intra-personal differences in SGRQ at baseline, at 6 weeks and 12 weeks To investigate intra-personal differences in quality of sleep, using the Richards-Campbell sleep questionnaire (RCSQ) at baseline, at 6 weeks and 12 weeks To investigate intra-personal differences in IC, at baseline, at 6 weeks and 12 weeks Secondary outcome: To investigate intra-personal differences in FVC, at baseline, at 6 weeks and 12 weeks To investigate intra-personal differences in DLCO at baseline, at 6 weeks and 12 weeks To investigate intra-personal differences in mMRC-score at baseline, at 6 weeks and 12 weeks
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of a manualized intervention (FITS) to families living with brain injury or spinal cord injury. The intervention will be provided by a trained neuropsychologist and consists of 8 structured sessions of 90 minutes duration. The intervention group will be compared to a control group receiving treatment as usual, one psycho-educational group session of a 2 hour duration.
Scientific evidence for the dietary treatment of type 2 diabetes (T2D) is insufficient, which is why the investigators aim to reform dietary recommendation to the overweight or obese patient with type 2 diabetes. This clinical study will examine the effect of a highly controlled hypo-energetic carbohydrate-reduced high-protein (CRHP) diet intervention under caloric restriction-induced body weight loss as a treatment modality in T2D. The investigators hypothesize that this intervention compared to the conventional diabetes (CD) diet with similar loss in body weight improves metabolic control and cardiovascular risk profile in T2D by: - Reducing diurnal and postprandial glycaemia, thereby facilitating a significant reduction in HbA1c - Reducing ectopic lipid deposits in liver, muscle and pancreas - Improving lipid profile towards a less atherogenic profile - Improving metabolic actions of insulin, through increased sensitivity and β-cell function - Reducing diurnal blood pressure with no adverse effect on heart rate variability
Older cancer patients referred to Oncology outpatient Clinic at Aarhus University Hospital have for a period been offered Comprehensive geriatric Assessment (CGA) as part of a routine practice. Oncology Department was responsible for planning the CGA. A number of patients did however not recieve this offer as planning failed. This Group of patients will be compared to patients recieving Geriatric assessment. Patients recieving CGA is part of a Randomised controlled study (ID: NCT02837679) comparing CGA without 90 days follow-up to CGA with 90 days of Comprehensive geriatric care. Patients are identified from electronic medical files. Data regarding death is obtained from Medical files.
