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.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the investigator standardized pain treatment plus local pain treatment is more effective than the investigator standardized pain treatment plus placebo in total hip arthroplasty.
study hypothesis: treatment with GLP-1 and/or GIP is able to potentiate the maximal stimulated insulin secretion even in c-peptide negative type-1 diabetic patients classified as having no residual beta cell function left.
The purpose of the study is to compare thalidomide + dexamethasone with bortezomib + dexamethasone in patients with multiple myeloma refractory to melphalan therapy. The main goal is to find out which of these two 2:nd line regimens that offers the patients the best chance for a response with as long duration and as good quality of life as possible.
This study will be conducted in an observational multiple-cohort design aimed at acquiring clinical, treatment, health status, and economic data. Patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) will be enrolled.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate whether the patients with Type 1 diabetes mellitus in sub-optimal glycemic control can achieve better glycemic control by using the Medtronic MiniMed Paradigm® REAL-Time Pump System with continuous glucose monitoring versus the Medtronic MiniMed Paradigm® REAL-Time Pump alone with Self Monitoring Blood Glucose (SMBG).Our null hypothesis is there is a 0% reduction in HbA1c from baseline compared to control group, after 6 months of treatment.
Chemotherapy and bevacizumab is given for 4 months. Patients who have not progressed will continue with maintenance treatment with either bevacizumab (Avastin) alone, or bevacizumab and erlotinib (Tarceva).
Part 1: To define the recommended dose of brivanib that can be safely administered in combination with Erbitux (Cetuximab) and irinotecan to subjects with advanced metastatic colorectal cancer (MCRC) Part 2: To compare median duration of progression free survival (PFS)
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a fatal degenerative disease of the brain for which there is no cure. AD causes brain cells to die. AD is thought to be caused by an excess of beta-amyloid (β-amyloid), a sticky protein in the brain that forms amyloid plaques. At autopsy, AD patients are required to have these amyloid plaques in the brain in order to have a definitive diagnosis of AD. Inhibiting the enzyme gamma-secretase (γ-secretase) lowers the production of β-amyloid. Semagacestat (LY450139) is a functional γ-secretase inhibitor and was shown to lower β-amyloid in blood and spinal fluid in humans tested thus far and in blood, spinal fluid, and brain in animals tested thus far. This study used several different tests to measure the effect of semagacestat on both β-amyloid and amyloid plaques for some participants. The build-up of amyloid plaques was measured by a brain scan that takes a picture of amyloid plaques in the brain. Other tests measured the overall function of the brain and brain size in some participants. In this trial, participants who initially received placebo (inactive sugar pill) were, at a certain point in the study, switched over to active drug, semagacestat. In other words, all participants could eventually receive active drug. Participation could last approximately 2 years. Participants taking approved AD medications were permitted to participate in this study and continue taking these medications during the study. All participants who completed this study had the option to continue receiving semagacestat by participating in an open-label study. Preliminary results from this study (H6L-MC-LFAN [LFAN]) and another similar study (H6L-MC-LFBC [LFBC; NCT00762411]) showed semagacestat did not slow disease progression and was associated with worsening of clinical measures of cognition and the ability to perform activities of daily living. Study drug was stopped in all studies. Studies LFAN, LFBC, and open-label H6L-MC-LFBF (LFBF; NCT01035138) were amended to continue collecting safety data, including cognitive scores, for at least 7 months. The Clinical Trial Registry (CTR) will reflect results of analyses from the original LFAN protocol in addition to those from the amended LFAN protocol.
In COPD patients with desaturation during exercise, several studies have shown an acute beneficial effect of supplemental oxygen. Therefore, both the British Thoracic Society and the American Thoracic Society guidelines recommend supplemental oxygen to patients who desaturate >4% and to below 88-90%. However, long-term studies have not been able to support this intervention. In this study of COPD patients, who desaturate and participate in a 7-week pulmonary rehabilitation programme, we examine the effect of supplemental oxygen on exercise tolerance, health status, and exacerbation rates. In a randomised design patients trained either with room air or with 2 litres oxygen per minute from a portable oxygen concentrator. All patients were asked to exercise every day for 30 minutes.
The primary objective of the study is to explore the relationship between a new image technology (ImaTx), that analyzes the trabecular structure of the bone using digitized radiographs and the bone mineral density (BMD) measured by Dual X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) in the lumbar spine of postmenopausal (PM) women with osteoporosis (OP) after treatment with PTH (1-84).
