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 the Micra Atrial TRacking Using A Ventricular AccELerometer 2 (MARVEL 2) study is to demonstrate safe and effective operation of the MARVEL 2 features for providing AV synchronous pacing in patients with normal sinus node function and AV block
The primary objective is to determine if the trend in Respiratory Rate measurements provided by the device under investigation can be used to predict an increase in Sequential/Sepsis-related Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score. The RR trend will be measured as the difference between the RR recorded by the device at a point 15 minutes after commencement of treatment, as per the standard of care for patients suspected of being septic, and a point 3 hours following this.
Inequalities in stillbirth, infant and child mortality as well as other reproductive health outcomes have been reported among ethnic minority groups in Denmark. The MAMAACT study aims to improve the communication between non-Western immigrant women and midwives regarding body symptoms that need prompt reaction, and thus improve perinatal health. 19 of 21 maternity wards in Denmark participate in the study. By simple randomization 10 maternity wards have been selected to the intervention group and 9 maternity wards to the control group. The intervention consist of post graduate training of midwives in intercultural competence and use of health education materials (leaflet and app) on pregnancy warning signs. The intervention will be implemented in the antenatal care from October 2018- September 2019. The training is expected to reach 350 midwives working with antenatal care and 27000 pregnant women, of whom 2700 are expected to be non-Western migrant women. The effect of the MAMAACT intervention will be analyzed by assessing women's ability to actively engage with health care providers (primary outcome), women's knowledge about warning signs of pregnancy complications and health system navigation using survey data. Secondary outcomes are 5-minute Apgar score, umbilical-cord blood gas analysis, transfer to a neonatal intensive care unit, gestational age at birth, fetal birthweight according to gestational age and ICD-10 code for sign of asphyxia. MAMAACTs overall target group is all pregnant women, and the specific target group is women of non-Western origin. Therefore, the outcomes of the trial will be analysed for both the total population and for the effects among non-Western immigrant women specifically. Hypothesis: Training of midwives in intercultural competence and increased attention to communication of warning signs of pregnancy during antenatal care will improve the communication and interaction between women and midwives, improve health literacy of the women and enable them to better access the relevant care in case of a pregnancy complication, which will then increase survival and health of newborn children.
Several studies indicate beneficial effects of eicosapentanoic acid (EPA) on cancer cachexia. However, compliance is generally low. This case control study is conducted in order to investigate if compliance depends upon the physical properties of the supplement (capsules vs. drinks). In order to further investigate how compliance can be improved, a possible correlation between sideeffects and rate of increased polyunsaturated fatty acid concentration in blood is also tested
A Phase 3 study to evaluate efficacy, safety, and tolerability of ampreloxetine (TD-9855) in subjects with primary autonomic failures (MSA, PD, or PAF) and symptomatic nOH with up to 4 weeks of treatment.
Background: Total hip- and knee arthroplasty (THA and TKA) is recommended for relieving pain and restoring function for end-stage osteoarthritis, when non-surgical treatment has failed to relieve symptoms. Following THA and TKA post-discharge physical rehabilitation is common practice, but vary significantly regarding content, duration, intensity and mode of delivery. Recent systematic reviews have found home-based rehabilitation to be as good as outpatient rehabilitation in terms of pain and physical function. Additionally, no long-term benefits seem to persist compared to minimal or no intervention following THA or TKA; questioning the true effectiveness of postoperative rehabilitation. However, a true "no intervention" (e.g. no prescribed exercises) has never been investigated following total THA or TKA. The purpose of this present trial is to compare the effectiveness of telerehabilitation, unsupervised rehabilitation and no rehabilitation to enhance recovery following THA and TKA. Methods: This pragmatic, randomised controlled trial will include 168 patients following discharge after THA or TKA. Patients will be randomized into one of the three 6-week interventions: telerehabilitation, unsupervised rehabilitation or no intervention. The trial is designed as a superiority trial to test the hypothesis that rehabilitation (telerehabilitation and unsupervised rehabilitation) is superior to no rehabilitation. The primary outcome will be the difference between intervention groups in terms of the mean score of the Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS)/ the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS)-subscale: function of daily living at first follow-up (end of the 6-week intervention). Additional follow-up are scheduled at 3 and 12 months. Outcome assessors and data analysts are blinded to group allocation. Discussion: As the number of THA and TKA procedures are expected to increase, the need to find effective postoperative rehabilitation strategies are warranted. Knowledge on the effectiveness of the three investigated rehabilitation strategies will help guide the future direction of post-discharge rehabilitation following THA and TKA.
The present study will investigate the feasibility and clinical value of using circulating tumor DNA as selection for anti-epidermal growth factor receptor treatment for metastatic colorectal cancer.
By means of digital droplet PCR (ddPCR), this study examines blood samples from patients newly diagnosed with cervical cancer to investigate whether it is possible to measure the presence and amount of HPV DNA in these blood samples. The first blood sample is taken at time of diagnosis, and follow-up blood samples are collected during treatment- and follow-up visits. We expect to find a correlation between the disease stage and the viral load and also a decline in viral load after treatment. Furthermore, we hope that this method may serve as a way of detecting disease recurrence earlier than what is possible today.
This project aims to investigate the absorption of enzymatically hydrolysed and non-enzymatically hydrolysed collagen on the Amino acid profile of the blood
This will be a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, proof-of-mechanism phase 2 trial investigating the effect of quinagolide extended-release vaginal ring on reduction of lesions assessed by high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging in women with endometrioma, deep infiltrating endometriosis, and/or adenomyosis.
