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.
To demonstrate a reduction in the number of ventricular therapies (ATP and Shocks) delivered for treating spontaneous arrhythmia episodes with a fast cycle length (CL≤ 320ms) as a consequence of self-termination and better arrhythmia discrimination due to a greater number of R-R intervals necessary to detect ventricular events.
The purpose of the study is to measure the effects of AZD1305 on cardiac electrophysiological properties and intracardiac pressures
The purpose of the trial is to determine if erythropoietin (EPO) can enhance cognitive function during hypoglycaemia in patients with type 1 diabetes. Patients with type 1 diabetes will receive one injection of EPO. Hypoglycaemia will be induced 6 days after. Before (1 hour), during and after (1 hour) hypoglycaemia, the cognitive function will be measured.
The prevalence of an increased pulmonary blood pressure amongst patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)is unclear. So is the impact of abnormal pulmonary blood pressure on symptoms. The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of an increased pulmonary blood pressure in 200 patients with COPD. Furthermore we will investigate if lung function test results and blood tests can predict an increased pulmonary blood pressure, and explore whether COPD patients with a high pulmonary blood pressure have more symptoms that their co-patients.
The primary objective of this trial is to assess the efficacy and safety of the fixed dose combinations telmisartan 40 mg / amlodipine 5 mg (T40/A5) or telmisartan 80 mg / amlodipine 5 mg (T80/A5) during long-term open-label treatment.
The objective of this trial is to evaluate the impact of elimination of albumin bound substances during albumin dialysis (MARS®) on mortality and the clinical time course in patients with a recent severe clinical deterioration of chronic liver disease caused by a precipitating (trigger) event within 4 weeks manifested by jaundice, encephalopathy and/or renal failure.
Depression is the most common psychiatric disorder. - 3-5% of a given population has major depression. - Less than 50% of the depressed in Denmark are diagnosed with major depression. - 25-50% of the depressed have a relative with major depression-underlying brain pathology? The purpose of this study is to use MRI to evaluate cerebral morphology and function in ambulant patients with major depression
Testosterone(T) has known effects on many organ systems, although many of its metabolic actions are unrevealed. T is an anabolic hormone stimulating protein synthesis but this effect has barely been investigated in controlled studies. It also has lipolytic actions influencing body composition, but little is known of its regional impact on fat tissue. T affects insulin sensitivity. There is an increased incidence of hypogonadism in type 2 diabetes, and among patients with hypogonadism there is an increased incidence of type 2 diabetes. The actions of testosterone on glucose metabolism are unknown. The purpose of this study is therefore to: Investigate the lipolytic effect of testosterone on muscle and fat tissue. To gain insight in the intracellular mechanisms of testosterone on lipolysis and investigate possible regional differences in lipolysis and changes in body composition. Finally to investigate the effect of short term experimental hypogonadism and acute testosterone substitution on cytokines, insulin sensitivity and protein metabolism. The trial is a randomised double blinded cross-over study of 4 x 2 days with an interval of 1 month in between. 12 healthy young men will receive GnRH treatment over a 3 month period and examined on 4 occasions with various degrees of T substitution and placebo . The examinations take place at the Research Lab within the Medical Department M. The investigations are deemed relevant to the understanding of the interrelationship between male hypogonadism and type 2 diabetes. The hypothesis is that T has beneficial effects on carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism. The generated knowledge would therefore hopefully improve prophylaxis, screening and early treatment of both group of patients.
The incretin effect is attenuated in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus partly due to impaired potentiation of beta-cell responsiveness to glucose by glucose dependent insulinotropic polypeptide and glucagon-like peptide-1 respectively. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether 4 weeks of near-normalization of blood glucose could improve the insulin responses to GIP and GLP-1 in patients with type 2 diabetes.
The main purpose of this study is to estimate the proportion of patients with a type of skin cancer called melanoma who are progression free, (that is, the cancer has not gotten substantially worse), when treated with Anti-CD137 (4-1BB) (BMS-663513) at 0.1 mg/kg, 1 mg/kg or 5 mg/kg every 3 weeks or 1 mg/kg every 6 weeks
