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 aim is to explore the human urine composition and its relation to urine tract infections
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is a gastrointestinal hormone used to treat type 2 diabetes and severe overweight (Liraglutide).The two pancreas enzymes: amylase and lipase are slightly elevated in GLP-1 treated compared with placebo-treated individuals. Increased levels of these two enzymes (amylase and lipase) are associated with acute inflammation of the pancreas (acute pancreatitis). In humans treated with GLP-1 (receptor agonist) there have not been found an increased risk of acute pancreatitis. Animal and cell studies have shown that the increased levels of amylase and lipase in the blood are not due to an inflammatory state but adaptive changes (volume increase) of the pancreas. The investigators (professor Jens Juul Holst, professor Sten Madsbad) want to investigate whether the increased levels of amylase and lipase in the blood of individuals treated with the GLP-1 analogue Saxenda are due adaptive changes of the pancreas. This will be achieved by measuring amylase and lipase before, during and after treatment with a GLP-1 receptor agonist, and at the same time use advanced scanning equipment (PET-MR) from the Clinical Physiological and Nuclear Medical Department at Rigshospitalet, which can determine any volumetric changes in the pancreas with high reproducibility. The scan will be centered on the pancreas, other organs are not evaluated why the study is not designed to detect any malignant findings in the pancreas or other organs.
This clinical study has been launched to collect spectral Raman data paired with validated glucose reference values in private homes of subjects.
We will investigate the safety and pharmacokinetics of melatonin, when administered rectally, intravesically, vaginally and transdermally. We will recruit 10 healthy female volunteers. The volunteers will have melatonin administered over 5 days; intravenously, rectally, intravesically, vaginally and transdermally. The participants will be followed for 24-48 hours with blood samples and questions about adverse events. There will be a wash-out between each session of a minimum of 7 days.
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether a four-week individual nutritional intervention can reduce the readmission/hospitalization rate among geriatric patients who are discharged to their private home or respite care. Secondarily, whether an individual nutritional intervention can improve nutritional status, functional status, quality of life, muscle strength and reduce mortality in geriatric patients after discharge Two sub-points are investigated using feasibility studies - if photography documentation of meals can be used in practice to assess the energy and protein intake of geriatric patients and whether photography documentation of the refrigerator content at first home visits in the intervention group can predict whether there is an increased risk of readmission.
The purpose of this study is to develop simple diagnostic screeningtests and investigate potential biomarkers for identifying patients with abnormalities of mitochondrial function, which also can be used as outcome measures in future clinical trials. The study will investigate two submaximal tests: a submaximal handgrip test and a walking test. Furthermore investigators will investigate Acyl-carnitine profiles and GDF-15 levels in patients with mitochondrial myopathy.
The study aims include: - Exploring potential predictive molecular profiles to immunotherapy/chemotherapy - Investigating the role of circulating tumor DNA as a dynamic biomarker during immunotherapy/chemotherapy - Identifying possible resistance mechanisms to immunotherapy/chemotherapy Materials and methods: Approximately 150 patients diagnosed with metastatic NSCLC assigned for immunotherapy or chemotherapy will be candidates for inclusion during a 1-2 years period. A comprehensive molecular profiling will be made from the diagnostic biopsy. Before every treatment-cycle a blood sample will be taken to quantify ctDNA. At time of progressive disease during/after first line treatment, patients will be asked to participate in a new biopsy and a comprehensive molecular profiling will be performed. The tissue and blood samples collected will be stored in a biobank. Clinical data will be collected to perform a comprehensive database. Analysis: Potentially predictive molecular profiles for immunotherapy/chemotherapy will be found by comparison of treatment outcome for patients with specific molecular characteristics. Through quantification of ctDNA during treatment and upon progression, the role of ctDNA as a dynamic biomarker will be further strengthened. Differences in molecular profiles pre- and post-treatment may reveal resistance mechanisms to treatment. Molecular profiling on progression can be valuable in second-line treatment guidance.
The study is a single-blind, randomised crossover study, investigating how a high glycaemic potato affects satiety in humans compared to a low glycaemic potato. This is done to shed further light on the discussion about whether potatoes with a high glycaemic index increases the risk of overweight and obesity and thus indirectly type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
The primary objective of this study was to compare the two alternate primary endpoints of radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients with progressive prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-positive metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who received 177Lu-PSMA-617 in addition to best supportive/best standard of care (BSC/BSoC) versus patients treated with best supportive/best standard of care alone.
The number of pregnant women affected by chronic diseases such as epilepsy, hypertension and thyroid disease is rising, and in the Danish population 15 % of all pregnant women had a chronic disease in 2016. Chronic disease increase the risk of complications during pregnancy such as preterm birth and caesarian section, while children born of mothers with chronic disease have an increased risk of low birthweight, prematurity and birth effects. Moreover, pregnant women with chronic disease have an increased risk of post-natal depression and report higher rates of anxiety during pregnancy and have described dissatisfaction with the communication with care providers about issues such as breastfeeding, lack of coherence during the course of pregnancy and after delivery. The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of an increased, interdisciplinary, coordinated and specialized maternity care multimodal intervention for pregnant women with chronic disease on the length of hospitalization (during pregnancy and after delivery). Secondarily, the purpose is to examine the effect of the intervention on psychological well-being and patient satisfaction. The investigators hypothesis is that the delivery of an increased interdisciplinary, coordinated and specialized intervention targeted pregnant women with pre-existing chronic disease will be beneficial for this group of pregnant women's' length of hospitalization during pregnancy and after delivery due to improved maternity care and improved self-care. Also, the investigators hypothesize that the effect of the intervention will be improved psychological well-being and satisfaction with care during pregnancy and after delivery.
