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 assess the long-term effects of early therapeutic intervention, i.e. within two years following a first clinical demyelinating event suggestive of MS.
The primary objective of this study is to determine the efficacy of ICD therapy compared with control on the endpoint of death from any cause in patients with heart failure of non-ischemic oetiology.
This study is to assess the effects with two different inhaled respiratory medications with regards to improvement of lung function, symptoms and morning activities.
The aim of the present study is to explore the importance of migraine genes on the headache/migraine responses after GTN in FHM-patients and healthy volunteers.
The primary purpose of the study is to investigate whether an intensive educational intervention can reduce the use of antipsychotic polypharmacy. It is hypothesised that the use of antipsychotic polypharmacy is, in some degree, dependent on non-patient related factors.
Primary objective: The primary objective of this study is to determine the efficacy of ICD therapy compared with control on the endpoint of death from any cause. Secondary objective: The secondary objectives of the study are to determine if ICD therapy reduces sudden death. Study design: Randomized, unblinded, controlled, parallel two group trial. Primary endpoint: Time to death from any cause. Sample size: In total, 1000 patients with 500 receiving ICD and 500 patients constituting the control group. Summary of Subject Eligibility Criteria: Patients with clinical heart failure, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≤ 35%, non-ischemic etiology and NT-proBNP above 200 pg/ml. Patients in NYHA class IV will only be randomised if also fulfilling criteria for a biventricular pacemaker. Control group: Patients receiving standard therapy for heart failure including ACE-inhibitor/Angiotensin-Receptor-Blocker and Betablocker unless not tolerated. Aldosterone antagonism is optional. Study Duration: The study comprises a screening period of up to 2 years, followed by a treatment phase of a minimum of 36 months. Randomisation: After fulfilling all eligibility criteria, subjects will be randomized 1:1 to receive ICD implantation or continue usual control. Randomisation will be stratified according to treatment with a biventricular pacemaker. Treatment: After randomisation patients allocated to ICD treatment should receive this as fast as possible and preferably within 2 weeks (latest 4 weeks). The ICD will be programmed with anti-tachycardia pacing and shock therapy. Assessments: Deaths and hospitalisations for heart failure, stroke or arrhythmias will be recorded throughout the study duration. Statistical Considerations: Median lifetime in the control group is expected to be 5 years. A p-value of 5% (2-sided) is required for significance together with a power of at least 80%. With a relative risk reduction of 25% a sample size of 812 patients in total is required. In order to allow for cross-over a sample size of 1000 is planned. Primary Endpoint Analysis: The principal analysis for the primary endpoint (time to death from any cause) will employ the intent-to-treat principle and use a survival analysis. Secondary Endpoint Analysis: All time-to-event secondary endpoints will be analyzed similarly to the primary endpoint.
The purpose of this trial is to compare the effectiveness, safety and tolerability of TMC278 given at a dose of 25 mg once daily versus efavirenz (EFV) at a dose of 600 mg once daily, when combined with a fixed background regimen consisting of emtricitabine (FTC) + tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF), in HIV-1 infected patients who have not yet taken any anti-HIV drugs. The following evaluations will be done: antiviral activity, immunologic changes, and viral geno-/phenotype evolution, relationship of Pharmacokinetics (PK) and PK/Pharmacodynamics, medical resource utilization and treatment adherence.
It is the study aim to investigate the effect of glp-2 on blood flow in humans. we wish to study eventual changes in renal blood flow, carotic blood flow and cardiac out put. GLP-2 will be administered subcutaneously, and the effect monitored by doppler ultra sound scannings and cotinuesly measuring of cardiac out put and blood pressure. The study will include 15 healhty volunteers, 10 wil receive 450 nmol GLP-2 and 5 will receive 1 ml of isotonic saline (as baseline reference).
Aim: To optimize the use of rocuronium (a neuromuscular blocking agent) in obese patients undergoing gastric bypass or gastric banding. Background: During general anaesthesia, a neuromuscular blocking agent is needed to allow surgery and airway management. Optimal dosing is important in order to avoid inadequately muscle relaxation, but also to avoid overdosage, which can result in prolonged anaesthesia and respiratory complications. Main hypothesis: Rocuronium dosed according to ideal body weight results in shorter duration of action compared to rocuronium dosed according to corrected body weight without prolonged onset time or compromised airway management or surgical demands for muscle relaxation.
The primary goal was to describe the safety of the investigational product when given monthly to prevent serious respiratory infection among children with significant heart disease.
