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 TeamOBS study is an observational study. We analyze actually recordings of obstetric emergencies to get an even better understanding and knowledge of the association between the communication and cooperation and the quality of the performance of the interdisciplinary team.
This is a study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of deutetrabenazine (TEV-50717) tablets for the reduction of motor and phonic tics associated with TS in children and adolescents 6 through 16 years of age.
The primary aim of the study is - in a prospective controlled design - to examine whether treatment-induced decreases in testosterone acts as a mechanism of cancer-related cognitive impairment (CRCI) in testicular and prostate cancer patients. Secondary aims are 1) to explore whether decreases in testosterone interacts with increasing age to cause more severe CRCI in older patients, 2) to explore underlying neurophysiological (brain morphology) mechanisms of CRCI, and 3) to evaluate selected genetic variants as possible moderators of CRCI.
Disruption of the blood brain barrier (BBB) is associated with inflammatory conditions of the central nervous system (CNS). This clinical trial aims to investigate whether following a gluten-free diet (GFD) for six months can contribute to normalizing BBB permeability in patients with newly diagnosed clinically isolated syndrome (CIS) and multiple sclerosis (MS). Furthermore, the study seeks to identify possible effects of a GFD on markers of systemic as well as CNS inflammation. Lastly, gut permeability is measured in order to examine whether there are any correlations between the permeability of the gut and the BBB as well as the inflammatory state in the intestine and CNS. From a patient's view, potential positive effects of a GFD will be manifested through an alleviation of symptoms, improved quality of life and reduced risk of CIS progressing to MS. Evaluating a possible role of gluten in MS pathogenesis can contribute to directing future research and optimizing treatment protocols.
This is a multi-center, open-label, international study to evaluate the dose, safety and tolerability, antitumor activity, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamics of avelumab in pediatric subjects 0 to less than 18 years of age with refractory or relapsed malignant solid tumors (including central nervous system tumors) and lymphoma for which no standard therapy is available or for which the subject is not eligible for the existing therapy. The study was planned to be conducted in 2 parts: the dose-finding part (Phase I) and the tumor-specified expansion part (Phase II). However, Phase II was cancelled due to limited clinical benefit of PD-L1 monotherapy in pediatric participants.
The air we breathe contains 21% of oxygen. Oxygen is vital for the cells ability to produce energy and without it we could not survive. Oxygen normally exists as a molecule consisting of two atoms, O2. It has two unpaired electrons and thus is unstable and willing to accept electrons to become stable. During the formation of ATP a transportation of electrons happens over the inner membrane of the mitochondria's. Oxygen can accept these and is thereby reduced to water. Normally about 4% is not fully reduced and instead produces superoxide. Superoxide is transformed to hydrogen peroxide by superoxide dismutase (SOD) and then into oxygen and water by catalase and glutathione peroxidase. It is also possible for hydrogen peroxide to be converted to hydroxyl radicals by Fenton reactions. All these radicals are called reactive oxygen species (ROS) and they are highly reactive and capable to induce damage to cellular components as proteins, DNA and lipids. Under normal conditions SOD, catalase and glutathione peroxidase work as anti-oxidative compounds to prevent oxidative stress and damage. However, under hyperoxic conditions these defences can be overwhelmed, resulting in the formation of excess ROS and thus oxidative damage. During general anaesthesia the use of supplemental oxygen to avoid life-threatening hypoxaemia has been common practice for many years and a fixed fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) ranging from 0.3 to 1.0 is often used. This lead to supranormal levels of oxygen in the lungs and most of the patients also have supranormal levels of partial pressure of arterial oxygen in their blood. This study will examine otherwise healthy ambulant patients undergoing minor orthopaedic surgery during general anaesthesia to elucidate metabolic and physiological changes caused by ventilation with FiO2 0.50 for at least 45 minutes using standard respiratory settings. Exhaled breath condensate (EBC) and arterial blood will be collected prior to and after surgery. The two EBCs and two blood samples will be stored at -80°C for analysis after all patients have been included. The metabolic changes will be measured with NMR technique and multivariate statistical analysis comparing baseline values with values obtained after oxygen exposure. Collapse of the small airways induced by anaesthesia and FiO2 will be evaluated by measuring resistance and reactance with airway oscillometry after surgery compared to a baseline measurement before surgery.
Patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) suitable for endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) with Treovance were eligible to participate. Main inclusion criteria were: age 18-85 years; infrarenal AAA without significant infrarenal or distal iliac landing neck calcification or thrombus formation; infrarenal or distal iliac landing neck size requirements specified in the instructions for use. Main exclusion criteria: dissection/ruptured aneurysm or prior AAA endovascular or surgical repair. The primary endpoints were standard EVAR criteria.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the mechanism behind the anti-atherogenic effects of liraglutide. In a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel trial we will included 100 patients with type 2 diabetes. Patients will be randomized 1:1 to an active treatment period of 26 weeks or placebo for 26 weeks. The primary endpoint is change from baseline to week 26 in vascular inflammation, assessed by Flour Deoxy Glucose (FDG)-Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (PET/CT)
Observational study looking at the burden of illness in achondroplasia subjects aged 5-70. The study will include a 5 year review of historical clinical data as well as a single point collection of questionnaire data to look at the impact on the following in individuals with achondroplasia versus a normative population: - Quality of life - Clinical burden - Healthcare resource use - Socio-economic burden - Psychosocial burden Up to 300 subjects will be included in sites in Germany, Spain, Italy, Sweden, Austria and Denmark
The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the efficacy of gefapixant (MK-7264) in reducing cough frequency as measured over a 24-hour period, and to determine the safety and tolerability of gefapixant. The primary hypothesis is that at least one dose of gefapixant is superior to placebo in reducing coughs per hour (over 24 hours) at Week 24.
