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.
Experimental studies and previous clinical trials suggest an improvement in mortality and neurological function with hypothermia after cardiac arrest. However, the accrued evidence is inconclusive and associated with risks of systematic error, design error and random error. Elevated body temperature after cardiac arrest is associated with a worse outcome. Previous trials did not treat elevated body temperature in the control groups. The optimal target temperature for post-resuscitation care is not known. The primary purpose with the TTM-trial is to evaluate if there are differences in all-cause mortality, neurological function and adverse events between a target temperature management at 33°C and 36°C for 24 hours following return of spontaneous circulation after cardiac arrest.
Metabolic syndrome and thereby obesity is associated with low-grade systemic inflammation and it is likely that this is also the case in children (Ley et al., 2005). It has also been shown that the gut microbiota is different in obese individuals compared to normal weight individuals and that the microbiota seems to have a role in fat storage (Backhead et al, 2004). Intervention study with overweight and normal weight school age children. The children will be randomised to receive selected probiotics or a placebo. Fecal and blood samples will be collected, and anthropometric measurements (weight, height, skin folds) will be recorded before and after the intervention. The dynamic of the microbiota of the GI will be monitored by molecular methods. Markers of intestinal inflammation (calprotectin) and permeability will be analysed. Blood samples will be analysed to evaluate how the intervention influence the systemic polarization of the immune response by means of cytokine analyses. Furthermore, blood pressure, blood lipid profile and early markers of metabolic syndrome will be evaluated. Hypotheses This study will examine if overweight in children is associated with a different intestinal microbiota and if a change in microbiota caused by probiotics can modify inflammation and risk factors for the metabolic syndrome.
The purpose of the study is to assess the responder rate as defined by the achievement of the primary goal from the Goal Attainment Scale following one BoNT-A injection cycle in accordance with routine practices.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of an initial hormonal treatment gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH Agonist) on 2 biomarkers (PCA3 and TMPRSS2-ERG), in patients with histologically confirmed and advanced stages of prostate cancer. Their characteristics, according to risk factors such as PSA and Gleason score will be determined at baseline and 1, 3 and 6 month post-treatment.
The purpose of the study is to compare sensitivity of visceral pain in the esophagus using different pain stimuli.
Conventional right ventricular (RV) apical pacing may result in asynchronous ventricular contraction with delayed left ventricular activation, interventricular motion abnormalities, and worsening of left ventricular ejection fraction. His pacing is preserving a synchronous contraction and may prevent a decrease in left ventricular ejection fraction. Hypothesis: His-pacing preserves left ventricular function and is a feasable alternative compared to RV septal septal pacing in patients with AV-block.
Aim of the present study is twofold. - First we want to evaluate the effect of mobilization on acute postoperative pain - Second to test weather chances in pain sensitivity are occurring following surgery and mobilization after total knee arthroplasty
This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled parallel arm study will assess efficacy and safety and the effects of taspoglutide on cardiovascular events in patients with inadequately controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus and established cardiovascular disease. Patients will be randomized to receive either taspoglutide subcutaneously (sc) 10mg weekly for 4 weeks followed by 20mg sc weekly, or weekly sc placebo, in addition to background anti-hyperglycemic medication and standard of care treatment for cardiovascular disease. Anticipated time on study treatment is up to 2 years. Target sample size is 2000 patients.
The Purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of three strengths of the FF/GW642444 Inhalation Powder in subject with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
The purpose of the trial is to demonstrate that intravenous iron oligosaccharide is non-inferior to oral iron sulphate in reducing iron deficiency anaemia secondary to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), evaluated as the ability to increase haemoglobin (Hb).
