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.
Patient suffering a Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) or stroke are subsequently at high risk of a new stroke, however, poor adherence to secondary prevention medications occurs frequently within this patient group. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether a complex tailored pharmacist intervention will lead to increased adherence to secondary stroke prevention medications and less new stroke events when compared to a usual care group. Interventions focus on motivational interviewing, medication review and telephone follow up.
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel, placebo-controlled, multiple dose study that will enroll approximately 40 systemic lupus erythematosus subjects with active lupus arthritis.
Primary Objective: - To compare the efficacy of a new formulation of insulin glargine and Lantus (overall, regardless the injection time) in terms of change of HbA1c from baseline to endpoint (scheduled Month 6) in participants with type 1 diabetes mellitus Secondary Objective: - To compare HOE901-U300 and Lantus when given in the morning or in the evening in terms of: - Change of HbA1c from baseline to endpoint (scheduled Month 6) - Change from baseline to endpoint (Month 6) in fasting plasma glucose (FPG), plasma glucose prior to injection of study drug, plasma glucose at 03:00 hours, mean plasma glucose (8-point profiles), glucose variability, treatment satisfaction and health related quality of life in participants with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) - Reaching target HbA1c values and controlled plasma glucose (all and reaching target without hypoglycemia) - Frequency of occurrence and diurnal distribution of hypoglycemia by category of hypoglycemia (symptomatic, asymptomatic, nocturnal, severe, probable and relative) - Safety and tolerability of HOE901-U300 including development of anti-insulin antibody (AIAs) during the 12-month study period
This was a two-arm, randomized, double-blind Phase III study of dabrafenib in combination with trametinib versus two placebos in the adjuvant treatment of melanoma after surgical resection. Patients with completely resected, histologically confirmed, BRAF V600E/K mutation-positive, high-risk [Stage IIIa (lymph node metastasis >1 mm), IIIb or IIIc] cutaneous melanoma were screened for eligibility. Subjects were randomized to receive either dabrafenib (150 milligram (mg) twice daily [BID]) and trametinib (2 mg once daily [QD]) combination therapy or two placebos for 12 months.
The overall objective of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of repeated Lamazym i.v. treatment, compared with placebo, in subjects 5-35 years of age with alpha-Mannosidosis
The overall objective is to evaluate the long-term efficacy, safety and tolerability of repeated Lamazym i.v. treatment in patients 5-21 years of age with alpha-Mannosidosis
Parkinson's disease is a chronic progressive neurological disorder. Symptoms are tremor, slowness in movement, rigidity and postural instability. As the disease progresses and treatment with L-dopa is no longer sufficient, some patients may be treated with deep brain stimulation. When treated with deep brain stimulation, electrodes are inserted in the affected area of the brain and through stimulation, motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease are significantly reduced. During the first year of DBS treatment patients and spouses may experience changes in everyday life and illness trajectory posing new opportunities as well as new challenges. The purpose of the study is to develop an individualised and targeted nursing program to support patients and relatives manage changes and challenges in life the first three months after Deep Brain Stimulation. The intervention is expected to generate important knowledge that will serve as a foundation for the further development of a future nursing program.
Background: Current treatment for Alzheimer's disease (AD) is symptomatic and can only temporarily slow down progression. Exercise has the potential to improve cognition, psychological symptoms, physical performance and quality of life, but evidence is scarce. Previous trials are short, often underpowered and involving home based light exercise programs. Most have included nursing homes residents with severe or undefined dementia. The aim of the ADEX trial is to establish whether exercise is effective in improving cognition, physical performance and quality of life as well as reducing the prevalence of psychological symptoms among AD patients. Methods: The ADEX Trial is a multicentre, single-blind, randomized clinical trial. Based on power calculations the investigators plan to recruit 192 home-dwelling patients aged 50-90 years with mild to moderate AD. The participants will be randomly allocated into two groups: An intervention group attending 16 weeks of continuously supervised moderate aerobic exercise 1 hour three times a week and a control group only receiving usual care. The hypothesis is that aerobic exercise will improve physical function, the cognitive and daily functioning and quality of life in people with mild to moderate AS. Blood sampling will be performed in all subjects to examine effects on biomarkers. A subgroup of the patients will also undergo MRI, PiB-PET and lumbar puncture to investigate structural changes and β-amyloid accumulation. Further, a health-economic analysis will be performed. Recruitment was started in January 2012. Last study visits are planned to be performed in January 2014 and results will be available in 2014. This RCT will contribute to evidence regarding the potential effects of a systematic program of physical exercise for patients with Alzheimer's disease.
In lean subjects, free fatty acid (FFA) promotes gut hormone release, delays gastric emptying, and reduces appetite and energy intake more than an isocaloric load of triglyceride (TG). In obesity, the gastrointestinal sensitivity to food components may be reduced. In this study, the investigators compare the effects of the FFA oleic acid and the TG olive oil on gut hormone secretion, gastric emptying, appetite sensation, and subsequent energy intake in lean and severely obese subjects.
Sleep investigation in respirator treated ICU patients: the importance of intensive environment. Sleep disturbances in the ICU seem to lead to development of delirium, prolonged ICU stay and increased mortality. The hypothesis of this study is: minimizing of disturbing factors in the ICU, such as noise, light, therapeutic and diagnostic procedures between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. will improve sleep quality in respirator treated ICU patients. Methods: randomized interventional study. 48-hour polysomnographic sleep measurement acc. AASM's standard in 46 awake respirator treated patients: 24 hours under ordinary circumstances and 24 hours under the protocol 'Quiet in the room' between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. after randomization.
