Start date: January 2012
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

Split-face investigation of the efficacy of applying Eflornithin cream twice daily for six months after a period with six laser treatments for hair removal.

NCT ID: NCT01817881 Completed - Sepsis Clinical Trials

Investigation of the Accuracy of Temporal Artery Thermometers

Start date: March 2013
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

The purpose of this study is to determine whether temporal artery thermometers are accurate tools in temperature measurements of patients presenting to the Emergency Department. The investigators´ hypothesis is that there is a difference of > 0,3 degrees centigrade (Bland-Altman) between the temperatures measured with the temporal artery thermometers used at the investigators´ hospital (Exergen TAT-5000) and those measured with rectal thermometers (OMRON MC-341-E), which is considered to be the gold standard in Denmark defined by the Danish Center for Clinical Guidelines. The investigators furthermore hypothesize that the difference between these measurements is greater if measured in a patient with hyperthermia (temperature > 37,9 degrees Centigrade).

NCT ID: NCT01817426 Completed - Crohn Disease Clinical Trials

Discontinuation of Infliximab Therapy in Patients With Crohn's Disease During Sustained Complete Remission

STOP IT
Start date: January 2013
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to determine whether infliximab can favourably and safely be discontinued in patients with Crohn's disease in sustained complete clinical, biochemical, and endoscopic remission on infliximab. Further to examine the clinical utility of measuring levels/activity of infliximab and activity of anti-infliximab Ab in patients in sustained complete remission, in order to investigate whether pharmacoimmunological data can predict the clinical outcome and rationalize therapeutic management of these patients with respect to continuation or discontinuation of infliximab therapy. Additional, to investigate the optimal time-point, out of three, to measure this activity.

NCT ID: NCT01816711 Completed - Clinical trials for Vitamin D Deficiency

Vitamin D Levels in Frail Elderly Patients With a Hip Fracture

Start date: January 2010
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The purpose of this study is to assess whether all frail elderly admitted with hip fracture has a vitamin D deficiency, and if s-25(OH)D deficiency increases the risk of hip fracture in frail elderly. Frail elderly are defined as being 65 years of age or older, and living in nursing homes or senior housings. The investigators' hypotheses state that: 1. Frail elderly with hip fractures will have a suboptimal level of vitamin D. 2. Frail elderly with hip fractures are more likely to have a suboptimal level of vitamin D than frail elderly without any hip fractures during the last ten years.

NCT ID: NCT01815736 Completed - HIV Infections Clinical Trials

Study to Evaluate Switching From a TDF-Containing Combination Regimen to a TAF-Containing Fixed Dose Combination (FDC) in Virologically-Suppressed, HIV-1 Positive Participants

Start date: March 27, 2013
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the non-inferiority of switching to a tenofovir alafenamide (TAF)-containing fixed dose combination (FDC) relative to maintaining tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF)-containing combination regimens in virologically suppressed HIV-infected participants as determined by having HIV-1 RNA < 50 copies/mL at Week 48.

NCT ID: NCT01815372 Completed - Clinical trials for Lower Leg Surgery, e.g. Ankle Fractures

Ultrasound-guided Nerve Blocks for the Sciatic and Saphenous Nerves: Characteristics of the Single Penetration Dual Injection (SPEDI) Technique

Start date: October 2012
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Background and aims: Ultrasound-guided (USG) nerve blocks of the sciatic nerve (popliteal level = PL) and the saphenous nerve (mid-femoral level = MFL) provides analgesia following leg surgery. Traditionally two separate injections are performed. The aim was to describe a novel, faster USG block combination requiring only one skin penetration to block the sciatic and saphenous nerves; i.e. the SPEDI block = Single PEnetration Dual Injection. Methods: A randomized, controlled and double-blinded trial. Following ethics committee approval 60 patients will be randomized to the administration of an USG SPEDI block compared to two separate USG blocks of the saphenous (MFL) and sciatic (PL) nerves. Blocks will be performed after induction of general anaesthesia. Outcome measures will be performance time (primary outcome measure), Post-Anaesthesia Care Unit pain scores (VAS scores 0-10), block difficulty level (easy, middle, difficult), opioid consumption (in the PACU), serum-ropivacaine pharmacokinetics (blood sample 0-180 minutes). Both block combinations will be evaluated by MR imaging (MRI). Hypothesis: The USG SPEDI block combination is expected to be performed significantly faster without moving the leg, and achieve successful perioperative pain management. The SPEDI block may find important use in the emergency setting.

NCT ID: NCT01814280 Completed - Drug Safety Clinical Trials

Reducing Medication Errors on Basis of an Individual Risk Assessment

MERIS1
Start date: January 2013
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Background: Medication reviews performed on admission to hospitals reduce medication errors; however, evidence of effect on morbidity and mortality is currently inconsistent. It is known that patients' risks of experiencing medication errors are dependent on both patient- and drug factors, e.g. age, co-morbidity, number of drugs, risk of side effects. Aim and hypothesis: The aim of this pilot study is to study acute medical patients' risk of getting a medication error based on an algorithm that takes into account both patient and drug related factors. Secondary, the investigators will explore whether our methods are applicable in a randomised controlled trial. The investigators will also decide the number of patients in a randomised controlled trial based on this pilot study. The hypothesis is that an algorithm that has already been developed can stratify patients according to their risk of experiencing a medication error. Methods: 100 acute admitted patients will be risk stratified at admission (>8 hours after). The patients who have highest risks of medication errors will receive a medication review performed by either a clinical pharmacist or a clinical pharmacologist.

NCT ID: NCT01813435 Completed - Clinical trials for Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)

GLOBAL LEADERS: A Clinical Study Comparing Two Forms of Anti-platelet Therapy After Stent Implantation

Start date: July 1, 2013
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

After a stent procedure, it is common practice to prescribe anti-platelet medication to prevent the blood from clotting. The main objective of this study is to determine if there is a better medication strategy to prevent blood from clotting and at the same time minimising the number of complications. There are two medication strategies: - Study group: Dual anti-platelet therapy (ticagrelor combined with aspirin) for 1 month, and then ticagrelor alone for another 23 months OR - Control group: Standard treatment, being dual anti-platelet therapy (ticagrelor or clopidogrel combined with aspirin) for 12 months, and then aspirin alone indefinitely

NCT ID: NCT01813422 Completed - Clinical trials for Hypercholesterolemia

GLobal Assessment of Plaque reGression With a PCSK9 antibOdy as Measured by intraVascular Ultrasound

GLAGOV
Start date: April 18, 2013
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

This study will evaluate whether low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C) lowering with evolocumab (AMG 145) results in greater change from baseline in percent atheroma volume (PAV) at week 78 than placebo in adults with coronary artery disease taking lipid lowering therapy.
