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 study is to evaluate if metformin is taken up into the failing myocardium. Recent experimental and epidemiological studies have shown beneficial effects of metformin on heart failure. It is unknown whether this effect is direct or indirect. The aim of the study is to investigate if metformin is taken up in heart failure using a novel 11C-metformin tracer and positron emission tomography (PET).
While the analgesic effects of opioids are well known, evidence suggest that there are differences in the adverse dizziness of the different opioid types, which may influence the gait function differently. However, this has not been investigated scientifically under controlled conditions. Normal gait function is characterized by cyclic movements with a high degree of predictability. As such, the amount of kinematic variability can provide important information about a condition or an intervention that may affect the gait function . Three-dimensional gait analysis is a recognized method to assess changes in stride-to-stride variability associated with a medical condition or caused by an intervention. Thus, opioid induced changes in gait variability, and possible differences between opioid types, can be assessed objectively from differences in the variability of movements obtained from a three-dimensional gait analysis. The purpose of this study is to investigate differences in gait variability induced by two different single-dose opioid formulations and an inert placebo in healthy volunteers and knee osteoarthritis patients.
The purpose of this study is to select a suitable dose of BPS804 by measuring the strength/quality of bone using a special type of CT scanner. Participants will be treated for 12 months and followed up for a further 12 months.
The purpose of the study is to acquire additional data on safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of HyQvia in pediatric (age two to <18 years) patients with Primary Immunodeficiency Diseases (PIDD)
The study evaluates whether the introduction of e-alcohol therapy (alcohol therapy delivered via video conference) can break with some of the barriers related to alcohol treatment and thereby appeal to people with a problematic alcohol use (Alcohol Use Disorder Test score ≥ 8). The study aims to evaluate the effect of e-alcohol therapy on initiation, treatment compliance and alcohol intake as compared to treatment as usual .
The aim of the study Collabri Flex is to: - Develop a Danish model for collaborative care for patients with depression in general practice, based on past experience gained in the Collabri Project. - Examine the impact of this model compared with liaison-consultation for people with depression in a randomized controlled design from selected endpoints.
The aim of the study Collabri Flex is to: - Develop a Danish model for collaborative care for patients with anxiety in general practice, based on past experience gained in the Collabri Project. - Examine the impact of this model compared with liaison-consultation for people with anxiety in a randomized controlled design from selected endpoints.
Background Diabetic eye disease is the most frequent complication among the 320,000 Danes with diabetes. The formation of new vessels (PDR) in the inner part of the eye (retina) is a feared complication and a leading cause of blindness, since these vessels are fragile and often cause bleeding within the eye. Peripheral retinal laser treatment (PRP) halves the risk of blindness, but often comes with a high prize. The peripheral part of the retina is responsible for the visual field and the night vision, and PRP limits these abilities (i.e. loss of driving license). The technique of PRP has principally been the same for the past 40 years with standard treatment given for all patients. With this one size fits all approach, a substantial number of patients will either be treated too much or too little. Too little treatment is inefficient, and disease progression may occur. Excessive treatment may cause side effects like loss of visual fields and decreased night vision. Therefore, it is important to test if treatment can be applied on an individual basis to give high efficacy treatment with minimal side effects. IMPETUS 2018 - TREAT is the second of two studies aimed at making an individual design for retinal laser treatment. In IMPETUS 2018 - DETECT the investigators demonstrated that non-invasive examinations of the oxygen level and measurements of the retinal vascular tree provide important information of individual treatment response. For instance, if standard PRP led to three per cent higher retinal oxygen saturation, there was a 4-fold risk of disease progression despite treatment. Hence, such a patient would benefit from more treatment to avoid blindness. With these observations at hand, the investigators want to compare a less invasive treatment (individualized laser treatment) against the standard PRP. Another essential aspect in the treatment of PDR is to be able to give the right diagnosis and to evaluate the efficacy of laser treatment. So far, this has been performed by fluorescein angiography. However, this examination are highly person-dependent and unpleasant to patients, and a more objective approach is needed. Optical coherent tomography angiography (OCT-A) is a quick, noninvasive scanning of the retina which is ideal to visualize moving objects like blood within the retinal vessels. The method has been successfully implemented in a number of retinal diseases, but it has never been validated in PDR. Standard PRP is often performed in 3-4 sessions. However, it may be painful, and patients sometimes choose not to complete all sessions after the initial treatment has been given. There is insufficient knowledge of the patient-barriers to treatment, and it is important to address these in an individualized treatment design. Aim In this 6-month 1:1 randomized, prospective study the investigators want to investigate 1) whether individualized retinal laser treatment compared with standard PRP has the same efficacy but less side effects, 2) whether OCT-A can be used as an objective marker for disease activity, and 3) to obtain a better understanding of patient-reported barriers to standard laser treatment PRP and whether these can be addressed with personalized retinal laser treatment. Setup Fifty eight consecutively recruited patients (1 May 2017 - 30 April 2018) with newly diagnosed PDR referred to the Department of Ophthalmology, OUH, and randomly assigned to standard PRP (n=29) or individualized laser treatment (n=29). Intervention Standard laser treatment is performed in all four quadrants of the retina. Individualized laser treatment is only performed in the part(s) of the retina with proliferation(s). Both treatments are carried out at baseline (BL), and additional treatment is given at month three (M3) and/or (M6), if necessary. Investigations Retinal digital images, fluorescein angiography, OCT-A (BL, M3, M6). Test of visual fields, dark adaptation and quality of life (BL, M6). Semi-structured interview will be performed with five patients who have received PRP in one eye and individualized laser treatment in the other eye. This will address treatment experience, potential barriers to treatment, etc. What to measure: Differences in need for retreatment, night blindness, visual fields, visual acuity, bleeding in the eye, surgery, and quality of life between the groups.
McArdle disease is a metabolic myopathy characterised by the absence of glycogen phosphorylase in skeletal muscle. Sodium Valproate is part of a group of drugs known as histone deacetylase inhibitors, which have a direct effect on chromatin. Recently a drug trial in an animal model of McArdle disease showed that sodium valproate stimulated the expression of a different isoform of the missing enzyme in skeletal muscle. A safety and feasibility study of sodium valproate in people with McArdle disease has been carried out in London (UK) and Copenhagen (DK) since January 2015. Participants will receive 20mg/Kg/day of sodium valproate for 6 months. The primary outcome measure is exercise performance assessed by cycle ergometry. Pre and post-treatment skeletal muscle biopsies will be performed to assess for glycogen phosphorylase. Together with blood analyses for safety. Additional functional exercise tests will be performed.
