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.
Nordic randomized phase II trial which evaluates whether biweekly cetuximab with alternating FOLFIRI and mFOLFOX6 is more effective than biweekly cetuximab with continuously FOLFIRI in patients with potential resectable KRAS wildtype metastatic colorectal cancer. All patients will be randomized to biweekly cetuximab 500 mg/m2 in combination with arm A) FOLFIRI (irinotecan 180 mg/m2 IV, leucovorin: 400 mg/m2 IV, 5FU bolus: 400 mg/m2 IV and 46 hours 5FU infusion of 2400 mg/m2 every 2 weeks) or arm B) FOLFIRI alternating with FOLFOX6 (Oxaliplatin: 85 mg/m2 IV, leucovorin: 400 mg/m2 IV, 5FU bolus: 400 mg/m2 IV and 46 hours 5FU infusion of 2400 mg/m2 every 2 weeks) . Primary objective: response rate (RECIST 1.1) in patients with with potential resectable KRAS wildtype metastatic colorectal cancer. Secondary objectives: Resection rate, PFS, OS, Quality of life, tolerability. Biomarker evaluation to measure plasma biomarkers, Tumour blocks and sequential serum and plasma will be collected to search for markers that may predict efficacy including respectability and safety.
The aim of the proposed study is to investigate whether women treated for breast cancer who experience cognitive difficulties will profit from the Internet-based program Scientific Brain Training Pro with respect to: 1) attention, working memory, learning and recall, and executive function as assessed by standardized neuropsychological tests and 2,) self-reported cognitive difficulties in daily life as measured by questionnaires.
The investigators wish to evaluate the effect of minimal access spinal surgery compared to traditional open surgery spinal surgery in patients with metastatic spinal cord compression. Minimal access surgery has been shown to bee less damaging for the tissue compared to traditional open surgery and also cause fewer wound complications, the investigators expect the above could have impact in a vulnerable patient group like patients with metastatic spinal cord compression.
With increasing rates of obesity the number of anti-obesity operations performed is increasing; one of the most common is gastric bypass. Anti-obesity surgery ameliorates diabetes and several other serious comorbidities, but bariatric surgery is also associated with medical and nutritional complications. Post-gastric bypass hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia is a relative rare but serious complication often seen months to years after gastric bypass surgery. The patients experience neuroglycopenic symptoms (eg. inability to concentrate, weakness, altered mental status, loss of consciousness). The purpose of this study is to determine whether glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1)or other enteropancreatic factors (eg. gastric emptying rate) are responsible for the excessed insulin secretion seen in some patients after bariatric surgery.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of Cabozantinib (XL184) compared with Everolimus (Afinitor) on progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in subjects with advanced renal cell cancer that has progressed after prior VEGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy.
Liposomal formulations are frequently used today in the treatment of cancer. LiPlaCis is the first targeted liposomal formulation with a tumour triggered release mechanism to undergo clinical development in oncology and it is expected that LiPlaCis will improve the therapeutic index of cisplatin compared to conventional cisplatin. Cisplatin is one of the most widely used drugs in the treatment of cancer due to its documented efficacy in a number of tumour types. Furthermore, it seems highly likely that cisplatin will remain an important drug in the future treatment of cancer. However, the drug is associated with a number of serious toxicities that complicates or necessitates discontinuation of therapy - e.g. need for pre-hydration, neurotoxicity, nausea and vomiting. Thus, there is a well-established need for improving cisplatin therapy in cancer patients. One option here is improving the formulation of the drug, so that a more selective up-take of cisplatin administered takes place at the tumour sites. Based on the results of the pre-clinical studies of LiPlaCis, it seems clear that LiPlaCis offers the potential to improve cisplatin therapy to the benefits of cancer patients. In a prematurely stopped Phase I Dutch study a Recommended Dose (RD) for a Phase II study was never reached which was the aim of the finished Phase I dose escalating part of this study for advanced or refractory solid tumors. In the Phase 2 part of this study, patients with advanced breast cancer with a biopsy examination showing a pattern compatible with sensitivity to LiPlaCis or patients with skin cancer will be included.
We hypothesize that the number of needed endoscopic procedure performed at IBD patients (adult and children), can be reduced by using an individualized algorithm of symptoms, blood and faecal biomarkers. The aim of the study is to reduce the numbers of endoscopies, as the procedure is uncomfortable for the patient, time consuming and expensive. Through indirect tests - blood test, fecal inflammation marker and clinical symptoms - compared to endoscopic findings, we want to construct an algorithm by which the intestinal healing can be foreseen without performing an endoscopy. Furthermore, we will correlate FC, blood tests, clinical symptom score and endoscopic score, with the histo-pathological inflammation score from intestinal biopsies and the immunological score depicted by TNF- alpha and IL17A levels in intestinal tissue, in order to assess the gold standard - endoscopic remission.
The investigators hypothesize that E-health - web based monitoring of disease and treatment - in young patients with chronic inflammatory disease (IBD) can improve the disease course and quality of life. Adherence (to take the prescribed medicine) is difficult for young patients. In this E-health project the investigators seek to improve young patients (10-17 years) responsibility for treatment, to empower them and thereby enhance the adherence in order to achieve a more quiet disease course. Through the e-Health program and web-app the disease activity will be presented to the young patient via a simple traffic light chart and the patient will be guided to: continue the prescribed medication, call the physician or visit the out-patient clinic. In future the concept is believed also to be applicable for young patients with other chronic diseases.
