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 investigators wanted to elucidate the effects of metformin in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) by performing a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled cross-over study.
This registry is a prospective, non-interventional, post authorisation safety study for patients diagnosed with Transfusion Dependent, IPSS low or intermediate-1-Risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS), associated to a single abnormality of the chromosome 5 [del(5q)]. The purpose of this study is to collect additional data about the safety of an oral drug (lenalidomide, Revlimid®) that may have been prescribed to relieve anemia and decrease the need of blood transfusions. However, also patients affected by the MDS del(5q) who receive other treatments different from lenalidomide can be included in this study, if they agree.
Group based cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is an effective treatment of depression, however, one third of patients do not respond satisfactorily (McDermut, Miller, & Brown, 2001), and relapse rates around 30% have been reported from several studies (Butler, Chapman, Forman, & Beck, 2006). The present study compares group based CBT with rumination focused CBT for depression with respect to outcome and relapse. Rumination has been evidenced as a crucial vulnerability to depression (Smith & Alloy, 2009), predicting the onset, severity and duration of future depression (Nolen-Hoeksema, 2000). Depressed individuals show a negative bias in the perception of facial emotion, in the acute phase as well as in remission (Bouhuys, Geerts, & Gordijn, 1999), and display difficulties in disengaging from negative stimuli (Koster, De Raedt, Goeleven, Franck, & Crombez, 2005). In addition the present study investigate rumination and perceptual attention bias as potential key mechanisms underlying depression. 128 depressed patients will be recruited and randomised for group based CBT or group based rumination focused CBT. Patients are assessed subsequently during treatment and at 6 month follow-up regarding depression, rumination, worry, negative perceptual bias, attention control. Results are expected at spring 2016.
Medtronic , Inc. is sponsoring the World-wide Randomized Antibiotic Envelope Infection Prevention Trial (WRAP-IT), a randomized, prospective, multi-center, single blinded, post-market, interventional clinical study. This study will evaluate the ability of the TYRX™ envelope to reduce major Cardiac Implantable Electronic Device (CIED) infections through 12-months post-procedure following CIED generator replacement, upgrade, revision, or de novo cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D) implant. Additionally, this large device study provides the unique opportunity to prospectively characterize the performance of Medtronic's lead monitoring features in subjects whose CIED system includes a transvenous right ventricular (RV) defibrillation lead. Finally, the WRAP-IT study will serve as a post-approval study for those geographies requiring a post-approval study of the TYRX™ envelope.
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study to confirm the efficacy and safety of Dupilumab monotherapy in adults with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD).
BIOLUX P-III is a prospective, international, multi-centre, postmarket all-comers registry to collect clinical performance data on the Passeo-18 Lux paclitaxel releasing balloon catheter in the treatment of atherosclerotic disease of the infrainguinal arteries.
This study investigates the use of a new healing cap which, through altered design and choice of material, has been improved when it comes to minimizing the risk of it falling off as well as increasing patient comfort.
The global prevalence of dementia is close to 36 million (2010). Furthermore the number is predicted to double in the next 20 years, primarily due to the demographic ageing. A perspective that will challenge the current healthcare systems and national economies. Dementia is characterized by progressive deterioration in cognition, function and behavior that is sufficiently severe to compromise social and occupational functioning. The pathogenesis of dementia remains elusive. Thus, there is a need to increase our understanding of the mechanisms leading to the most common forms of dementia. A better understanding of the disease may enable an earlier diagnosis and importantly, a causal treatment of Alzheimer as opposed to the merely symptomatic options available to day. An experiment with rats and memory might already have taken the first step towards this. The experiment has demonstrated that administration of IGF-II to rats significantly enhances memory retention and prevents forgetting. Furthermore inhibitory avoidance learning leads to an increase in the hippocampal expression of IGF-II. Finally, yet importantly, injections of recombinant IGF-II into hippocampus after training or memory retrieval significantly enhance memory retention and prevent forgetting. The spinal fluid and the serum will be analysed at the Medical Research Laboratory. The immunological concentrations of IGF-I and -II are measured by validated in-house analyses. Furthermore, Aarhus University Hospital has a unique technique, whereby it is possible to measure the bioactivity of IGF-I and -II in the cerebrospinal fluid. The concentrations of NGF, BDNF and sCD-163 in spinal fluid and serum will be analysed by already established techniques. The purpose of this study is therefore to define the concentration and biological activity of IGF-I, IGF-II, BDNF, NGF and sCD-163 in the cerebrospinal fluid and serum in patients with Alzheimer's compared with controls.
A 4 week double blinded parallel design with an intervention condition and a control condition will be employed. After having completed screening procedure and a baseline test day, participants will be randomized to either intervention or control condition. In the following 4 weeks, the participants will have to consume the distributed food product daily before completing another test day.
The purpose of this study is to study the effect of a physical exercise program on patients suffering from migraine and co-existing tension-type headache and neck pain. The investigators hypothesized that migraine patients are ofte physically inactive because of their headache and that they will benefit from a specific exercise program.
