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.
Background: Post-transplant hyperglycaemia occurs frequently in renal transplant recipients within the first two weeks after transplantation. Standard-of-care is primarily based on insulin treatment with the adherent risk of hypoglycaemia and weight gain. Semaglutide produces an effective lowering of plasma glucose in diabetes patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and leads to a reduction in weight and the incidence of hypoglycaemia. The efficacy of semaglutide is untested in renal transplant recipients, and safety concerns remain, primarily on renal graft function. Objectives: The primary objective is to establish whether tablet semaglutide (Rybelsus) compared with placebo, both as add-on to standard-of-care, is non-inferior in regulating plasma glucose in patients with hyperglycaemia after renal transplantation. Secondary objectives aim to evaluate the effect of tablet semaglutide on renal graft function, weight, use of insulin, cardiovascular parameters and safety parameters (plasma semaglutide concentration, gastrointestinal side effects, dose of immunosuppressants). Design: An investigator-initiated, placebo-controlled, double-blinded, parallel-group, randomised trial. Population: Patients (n = 104) with post-transplant hyperglycaemia and an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) > 15 ml/min/1.73 m2. Methods: Participants diagnosed with post-transplant hyperglycaemia, 10 to 15 days post-transplant, will be randomised 1:1 to either 14 weeks of tablet semaglutide once daily or placebo both as add-on to standard glucose-lowering therapy. Participants will maintain weekly contact with the clinic during the first five weeks and at two to four weeks intervals during the remaining study period. During the trial, each patient will be monitored according to blood laboratory values with safety assessed at every visit by a nephrologist. Pre-prandial plasma glucose will be measured in the morning and evening to adjust glucose-lowering therapy after consultation with an endocrinologist. Double blinded continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) will be performed for 10-14 days from baseline and at weeks 5, 9, and 13. Primary endpoint: - Mean sensor glucose (mmol/L) evaluated by CGM Key secondary endpoints: - Incidence of hypoglycaemia - Body weight (kg) - Creatinine (μmol/L) - Daily insulin dose (IE per day) - Plasma concentration of semaglutide (nmol/L) - Blood concentrations of cyclosporine and tacrolimus (μg/L)
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether milvexian compared to placebo reduce the risk of recurrent ischemic stroke.
The study investigates the prevalence of cardiac amyloidosis among patients with a history of lumbar spinal stenosis within the last ten years in the region of central Denmark.
Patients undergoing surgery for lumbar spinal stenosis will have biopsies of the ligamentum flavum sent to the department of pathology for histologic screening. If the ligament biopsy contains amyloid, patients will receive an echocardiogram, an ecg, biomarker testing, and a bone tracer scintigraphy diagnostic of cardiac amyloidosis.
COMPLETE-2 is a prospective, multi-centre, randomized controlled trial comparing a strategy of physiology-guided complete revascularization to angiography-guided complete revascularization in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) or non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) and multivessel coronary artery disease (CAD) who have undergone successful culprit lesion Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI). COMPLETE-2 OCT is a large scale, prospective, multi-centre, observational, imaging study of patients with STEMI or NSTEMI and multivessel CAD in a subset of eligible COMPLETE-2 patients.
The investigators intend to perform a landmark study to answer whether a combined CVD screening and treatment strategy is beneficial for patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) without known cardiovascular disease (CVD) The investigators aim to answer the following main research questions: Do screening detected high-risk patients benefit of intensified medical treatment? Is it safe to de-intensify medical treatment among patients with a screening detected low risk of CVD? Does a CVD screening and treatment program improve patient reported health status? Cardiovascular risk remains high in patients with T2DM but unevenly distributed. Our current risk stratification strategies are far from optimal leading to both under- and over-treatment of patients. In recent years, noninvasive imaging of subclinical coronary artery disease by cardiac CT has improved considerably. This allows for easily accessible evaluations of coronary atherosclerosis burden and composition - exceptionally strong imaging biomarkers of future cardiovascular disease. An increasing amount of data suggests that cardiac CT may permit better risk stratification in patients with T2DM. At the same time, the pharmaceutical treatment of T2DM has changed with several new and expensive drug classes, each individually documented to reduce the risk for new or recurrent cardiovascular events. Thus, these new drugs may improve outcome in high-risk patients, whereas they may be wasteful and only lead to side effects in low-risk patients. In the Inten-CT study, the investigators combine these two pivotal developments. The investigators intend to improve risk stratification of patients with T2DM by use of cardiac CT and, based on this knowledge, the investigators wish to investigate if upgraded medical treatment in the high-risk population is beneficial and if de-intensified treatment in the low-risk population is safe. As a secondary aim, the investigators wish to investigate if such a strategy improves patient reported health status. These aims are in agreement with one of the important health indicators from The Danish College of General Practitioners: "We find and treat the patients and let the healthy stay healthy". The investigators intend with this strategy to improve not only cardiovascular outcome among patients with T2DM, but also their quality of life. The Inten-CT study is an investigator-initiated open-label event-driven randomized controlled trial including patients with T2DM stratified according to screen detected coronary artery calcification. The investigators expect inclusion of 7300 patients in 2 years and a mean follow-up period of 5 years.
The investigators will nationally investigate the prevalence of Transthyretin Amyloidosis wildtype (ATTRwt) in patients of ≥ 65 years with left ventricular hypertrophy who present with high degree atrioventricular block (AV-block) and are admitted for pacemaker implantation. The investigators aim to characterize the group of patients with positive screening of ATTR and compare the ATTRwt disease stage at time of diagnosis for patients identified with ATTR at screening with a control group of routinely clinically diagnosed ATTRwt patients.
The aim of the study is to investigate the incidence and clinical implications of intermetatarsal bursitis (IMB) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The hypothesis is that IMB is a cause of pain in patients with RA.
This is a Phase 3, multi-center, randomized withdrawal study to evaluate the efficacy and durability of ampreloxetine in participants with MSA and symptomatic nOH after 20 weeks of treatment. This study includes 4 periods: Screening, open label, randomized withdrawal, and long-term treatment extension (LTE).
The purpose of the study is to compare the sensitivity and specificity of transoral ultrasound, transcervical ultrasound, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Positron Emission Tomography-Computerized Tomography (PET-CT) in terms of detecting primary oropharynx tumors.
