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.
This study aims to assess the effect of inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) on airway smooth muscle (ASM) Na+, K+ pumps in patients with asthma.We wish to investigate differences in Na+, K+ pump content in healthy versus asthmatic patients, whether a reduction in airway hyper-responsiveness observed in asthmatic patients treated with ICS is attributable to an increase in Na+, K+ pump content in ASM cells and compare this in patients with non-eosinophilic asthma versus eosinophilic asthma.
Unipolar and bipolar disorder combined account for nearly half of all morbidity and mortality due to mental and substance use disorders, and burden society with the highest health care costs of all psychiatric and neurological disorders. Among these, costs due to psychiatric hospitalization is a major burden. Smartphones comprise an innovative and unique platform for monitoring and treatment of depression and mania. The RADMIS trials use a randomized controlled single-blind parallel-group design. Patients with unipolar or bipolar disorder discharged from psychiatric hospitals in The Capital Region of Denmark are invited to participate. Patients are at discharge from the psychiatric hospitals randomized, separately according to psychiatric diagnosis (thus, the RADMIS trial consists of two separate trials according to diagnosis, bipolar disorder or unipolar disorder), to: 1) a smartphone-based monitoring system including a) an integrated feedback loop between patients and clinicians and b) context-aware CBT modules (intervention group) or 2) treatment-as-usual (control group) for a 6-months trial period. The trial is started in March 2017. The outcomes are 1) differences in the number and duration of re-admissions between the intervention group and the control group (primary), 2) differences in severity of depressive and manic symptoms (manic symptoms only for patients with bipolar disorder); differences in psychosocial functioning; and differences in number of affective episodes between the intervention group and the control group (secondary), and 3) differences in perceived stress, quality of life, self-rated depressive symptoms, self-rated manic symptoms (only for patients with bipolar disorder), recovery, empowerment, adherence to medication, well-being, ruminations, worrying, and satisfaction between the intervention group and the control group (tertiary).
Phase 1: The European ASV Registry (short name) will investigate the use of Adaptive Servo-Ventilation in non-heart failure conditions. The purpose is to examine the effects of ASV on quality of life, daytime symptoms and sleep, to describe usage patterns of ASV with regards to patient characteristics and to document adverse events related to therapy for a therapy safety analysis. A pilot phase will enrol at least 200 patients to test the feasibility of the registry. After the pilot phase will be completed and an intermediate data analysis had been performed, the registry will be expanded over several countries across Europe with the goal of enrolling up to 800 patients over a period of 5 years. Phase 2: The READ-ASV Registry (short name) will investigate the use of Adaptive Servo-Ventilation in non-heart failure conditions. The purpose is to examine the effects of ASV on quality of life, daytime symptoms and sleep, to describe usage patterns of ASV with regards to patient characteristics and to document adverse events related to therapy for a therapy safety analysis.
This study aims to characterise the use of single-agent olodaterol and single-agent indacaterol, the only marketed long-acting beta2-agonist (LABA)s authorised for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but not for asthma, in clinical practice.
To determine the significance of systemic RANKL inhibition for male reproduction, conducting a clinical controlled randomized double blinded intervention study on infertile men, to investigating whether Denosumab (Prolia) can increase semen quality and to investigate what subgroup of infertile men that might benefit from treatment.
The PreTBI II study aims to investigate the diagnostic potential of prehospital S100B and GFAP measurements in prediction of need for neurosurgical observation and/or intervention in moderate TBI patients, to rule-in high-risk patients. Ultimately to select patients who will benefit from neuro surgical expertise in specialized departments and thereby possibly better patient outcome. Hopefully also minimize treatment delay, secure optimal resource consumption and streamline patient courses by predicting the presence of neurotrauma. Hypotheses: 1. A prehospital serum S100B level > 0,10 microgram/L and expectedly above a certain and currently unknown cut-off value indicates the need for neurosurgical observation and/or intervention in moderate TBI patients. 2. A prehospital serum GFAP level above a certain and currently unknown cut-off value can significantly predict a need for urgent neurosurgical observation and/or intervention in moderate TBI patients. 3. Biomarker dynamics between prehospital and in-hospital biomarker values of S100B and GFAP can significantly predict a need for urgent neurosurgical observation and/or intervention. 4. Biomarker dynamics between prehospital and in-hospital biomarker values of S100B and GFAP can significantly predict hospital course and outcome of patients with moderate TBI.
The only known cure for primary hyperparathyroidism is surgical removal of one or more parathyroid glands. Some patients however, do not fulfill criteria for surgery or do not want to undergo a procedure due to fear of the associated risks. Therefore a medical alternative is warranted. This study aims to evaluate the effects of Denosumab alone, and in combination with Cinacalcet, as a medical treatment for patients suffering from primary hyperparathyroidism, with mild osteoporosis. To the best of our knowledge no previously reported randomized controlled trial has investigated the use of denosumab in primary hyperparathyroidism. 60 patients will be enrolled in three different treatment-groups: 20 receiving both Denosumab and Cinacalcet, 20 Denosumab and placebo and 20 placebo and placebo. Patients included do not meet the criteria for, or have no wish for a surgical procedure. By combining the two drugs, this study could possibly contribute to the discovery of a realistic medical alternative to surgery. It is expected that the therapy will be able to both control s-calcium and s-intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), and simultaneously enhance bone-structure. The therapy thus has the potential of preventing fractures and possibly other long-term effects of primary hyperparathyroidism such as formation of kidney stones, and coronary calcification. Another objective of this project is to investigate whether the combined therapy can facilitate an actual reset of the Calcium-sensing receptor, and thereby de facto cure the disease.
The study compares two lengths of medication therapy (a shortened versus a prolonged dual antiplatelet therapy) in order to prevent thrombus (blood cloth) formation after the successfully treatment for coronary heart disease with a drug covered stent (metallic tube). This comparison will be done in patients who, compared to the average patient, are more likely to suffer from complications on antiplatelet therapy (bleeding). Both durations are within the current medical recommendations. The aim of this study is to help improve further standard antiplatelet duration guidelines.
The EarEEG system is a novel non-invasive, unobstructed and discrete method for recording EEG in which the signal is recorded using dry-contact electrodes embedded on a customised ear piece. One intended medical indication of the EarEEG system is the detection of hypoglycaemia-induced changes in the EEG in patients with type 1 diabetes. Currently, no studies exist investigating the detection of hypoglycaemic episodes by use of ear electrodes. While a finger prick test accurately measures the blood glucose level, it does not provide continuous measurements, and hence it is unreliable as a hypoglycaemia alarm. Recent studies have indicated that the use of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) reduces the risk of severe hypoglycaemia. However, some find these devices troublesome to use and utilisation of CGM has remained limited to date. Observational data show that only a small percentage of patients with type 1 diabetes are using CGM on an ongoing basis. Thus, there is a medical need for a reliable hypoglycaemia detection device which is easy and convenient to use. This clinical study aims at investigating the feasibility of measuring hypoglycaemia induced changes in the EEG by use of the EarEEG system.
