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.
Today Alzheimers disease can not be cured. Animal experiments have shown that the hormone GLP-1 can improve memory in Alzheimer-prone mice. The investigators hypothesis is that a 6-month treatment with the GLP-1 receptor stimulating drug liraglutide will reduce the intracerebral amyloid deposition in the central nervous system (CNS) in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and thereby reduce the clinical symptoms of the disease.
The purpose of this study is: - To compare blood glucose (blood sugar) control on LY2605541 with insulin glargine after 26 weeks of treatment. - To compare the rate of night time hypoglycemia (low blood glucose) on LY2605541 with insulin glargine during 26 weeks of treatment. - To compare the number of participants on LY2605541 reaching blood glucose targets without hypoglycemia episodes at night to those taking insulin glargine after 26 weeks of treatment. - To compare the rate of hypoglycemia over a 24-hour period on LY2605541 with insulin glargine during 26 weeks of treatment.
This is a pharmacokinetic comparison of CHF 1535 50/6 NEXT DPI versus the free combination of Beclomethasone DPI and Formoterol DPI in children (5 to 11 years old) of a formulation already approved in adults.
The aim of the study is to do a 7-year follow-up of a consecutive inception cohort of 562 adults and children diagnosed and registered with inflammatory bowel disease in 2003-04 in order to evaluate the consequences of biological therapy in the treatment of IBD. The cohort is established after the implementation of biological agents in the treatment of IBD and the investigators hypothesis is that a) Severe disease course in IBD can be predicted by phenotypic presentation by serological, genetic, clinical and endoscopic characteristics to be used as guidance in the selection of treatment strategy and b) Introduction of biological treatment changes the course of disease in IBD and reduces the need of surgical procedures. Methods: Medical records will be reviewed to register the use of medication, flare ups (medical and surgical) and hospital admissions. Diagnosis, disease localization and behavior will be evaluated. At outpatient visits patients will get a clinical examination, blood and faeces will be collected to biobank and patients will be offered an endoscopical examination. The Montreal classification, The Harvey & Bradshaw's activity index (CD) and the SCAAI score (UC) will be used to describe disease localization, extent, behavior and severity. An electronic database will be established in use of processing data.
This multi-center, randomized, parallel-group, active-controlled, open-label study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of a shortened RoActemra/Actemra (tocilizumab) infusion time compared to the normal infusion time. Patients will be randomized to 8 mg/kg RoActemra/Actemra infusion of 31 minutes every 4 weeks or to RoActemra/Actemra 8 mg/kg infusion of 60 minutes every 4 weeks. The anticipated time on study treatment is 24 weeks.
This trial is conducted in Europe. The aim of this trial is to investigate the efficacy and safety of biphasic insulin aspart (NovoMix®30) to that of biphasic human insulin (Mixtard® 30) in subjects with type 2 diabetes.
The aims of this study is to compare healing time and quality of newly formed bone in cardiac surgery patients treated with PTH post-surgically and a control group treated with saline.
This pilot study aims at validating 18F-flourodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) in the detection and characterization of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in the entire human body, especially deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). On completion of this study the investigators will hopefully be able to demonstrate the importance of functional/molecular imaging technique in managing patients with this common and potentially fatal disorder.
This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tofacitinib (CP-690,550) in patients with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis who have failed or be intolerant to one of following treatments for ulcerative colitis: oral steroids, azathiopurine/6-mercaptopurine, or anti-TNF-alpha therapy.
Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is an inflammatory arthritis associated with psoriasis, which has a estimated prevalence of 0.3 - 1 %. The clinical course varies, but PsA is often a progressive, erosive arthritis causing severe disability and increased mortality. The biologic treatment infliximab and etanercept have recently been introduced for treatment of PsA and psoriasis, and current data indicate a higher efficacy than with previously available therapies. No clinical trials on adalimumab in PsA are yet published (2005), but preliminary data are encouraging. The improved treatment options have increased the need for sensitive methods for diagnosis, monitoring and prognostication of PsA, so that the efficient therapies can be initiated at the optimal time point and monitored optimally. Ultrasonography (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and a number of biomarkers are promising, but not yet sufficiently studied, methods for this. The hypothesis is that adalimumab will be an effective treatment option for PsA. Novel imaging- and biomarkers can provide additional information, compared to clinical measures and radiography, concerning activity, destructive progression and prediction of therapeutic response in PsA patients receiving adalimumab. The perspective is a potential improvement in diagnosis, monitoring and prognostication of patients with PsA.
