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 trial will include 5000 patients with evident or suspected ischemic heart disease refered to Department of Nuclear Medicine & PET Centre, Aarhus University Hospital, for perfusion imaging by 15O-H2O PET/CT scan of the heart during rest and stress. The patients will undergo the clinical scan as normal. Data from the scans will be used to determine reference values of the examination. Follow up will be done for up to 10 years in regards to major cardiovascular events in order to determine the prognostic value of the scan.
This project aims to investigate the prevalence of bacterial colonization and associated factors in health care workers with hand eczema with focus on Staphylococcus aureus.
The study aims to increase proportions of bystander defibrillation during out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (hereof referred to as cardiac arrest) in residential areas with a high density of cardiac arrests. The intervention consists of Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) and residents' involvement in resuscitation through training and enrollment as citizen responders.
Extension of the PFBIO cohort which includes patients with newly diagnosed idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) for longitudinal follow-up for up to 5 years. In the PFBIO-EXA extension, patients are included if they experience an exacerbation, or other increase in respiratory symptoms requiring hospital admission, for further collection of clinical and biological data.
Background: Acute heart failure is a potentially life-threatening condition, reaching mortality rates of up to 50% in advanced cases. The investigators have shown that infusion of ketone bodies increase cardiac output by 40% in stabile patients with chronic heart failure. However, there are no data showing the effects of ketone on patients with acute heart failure Objectives: To investigate the effect of ketone supplementation in patients with acute heart failure and cardiogenic shock, using two different types of oral ketone supplements. Methods: The investigators will conduct four randomized placebo-controlled studies, to investigate the hemodynamic effect of exogenous ketones in acute heart failure and cardiogenic shock. Perspectives: The present study will determine the potential beneficial effects of ketone supplements in patients with acute heart failure.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and performance of an acoustic approach based on skin-contact microphones as a routine assessment of placental vascular function as predictor of fetal growth restriction.
The HERMES intervention was developed in a Danish setting after a comprehensive investigation on caregivers' needs. The intervention consists of: 1) a systematic identification of the caregiver's unmet information needs and 2) a subsequent consultation with a nurse providing the lacking information. The evaluation carried out in a randomized trial at Herlev Hospital showed positive results. It reduced the unmet information needs and improved the caregivers' evaluation of the information from and communication with the health care professionals and the perception of being seen and acknowledged as a caregiver. However, although research projects may show a positive effect, this does not mean that the intervention will be easily implemented in the health care system. Nor does it guarantee that the intervention will show the expected results once implemented in a busy clinical routine. Therefore, the present project will adapt the HERMES intervention to be implemented in Danish departments of oncology and haematology by (in the first part of the project): 1. Elucidating how the HERMES intervention is best implemented in the clinical setting according to the clinical staff. 2. Elucidating how the HERMES intervention is best implemented in the treatment and follow-up period according to the patients and their caregivers. 3. Developing a technological solution (an app) for the HERMES intervention in which the responses given by the caregivers will form the basis for a subsequent consultation with the health care staff. 4. Revising the HERMES intervention based on the outcomes of a-c. 5. Testing the revised HERMES intervention in a pilot study. In the second part of the project, the revised HERMES intervention will be tested in a large scale trial with the purpose to: 1. Implement the revised HERMES intervention in the departments of oncology/haematology. 2. Test the effect of the revised HERMES intervention. 3. Evaluate the feasibility of the revised HERMES intervention in a large scale. 4. Elucidate the effectiveness and the feasibility of the intervention and assess possibilities and potential needs for further adaptation in order to secure the future applicability in the Danish Health Care System. Thus, the overall aim is that by the end of the study, an evidence based and practical implementable method to (continous) use of the HERMES intervention in the Danish health care system is available.
In the current study, the investigators will examine the extent of subclinical epileptic activity in patients with Alzheimer's disease and patients with Lewy body dementia as compared to healthy elderly controls. The participants will wear a new device called "ear-EEG", which makes it possible to record EEG for longer periods of time while at home. Furthermore, the investigators want to investigate whether there is an association between subclinical epileptic activity and the cerebral blood flow as measured with functional MRI.
The aim of this study is to apply serology testing methods for SARS-CoV2 antibodies in samples collected from HCWs in an acute hospital. This will enable the identification of those who are protected and non-infectious for SARS-CoV2 and those who are seronegative and therefore potentially susceptible and infectious on patient contact. Prospective testing will provide data on the acquisition of SARS-CoV2 infections among HCWs and associated risk factors for transmission during a pandemic at an acute care hospital facility in the capital region of Denmark. Hypothesis: Serial seroconversion measurements in hospital employees improve the organization of the clinical treatment and care during the COVID-19 pandemic at Nordsjællands Hospital and Nykøbing Falster County Hospital.
This study is designed to assess the safety and efficacy of lenvatinib in combination with pembrolizumab versus standard of care (SOC) chemotherapy, and to also assess the safety and efficacy of lenvatinib monotherapy in participants with recurrent/metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (R/M HNSCC) that have progressed after platinum therapy and a programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) or anti-programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibitor. The primary hypothesis is that lenvatinib + pembrolizumab is superior to SOC chemotherapy with respect to ORR per modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 as assessed by blinded independent central review.
