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.
We would investigate in a controlled, randomized open study in the winter season: 1) If serum levels of vitamin D (25(OH)D) increase in subjects treated with sunbed with sunlamps emitting mainly UVA and only 0·5% or 1·4% UVB compared to non-sunbed treated controls 2) If yes, are the 25(OH)D serum levels then dependent on the UVB dose?
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder that is primarily characterized by insulin resistance, relative insulin deficiency, and hyperglycemia. People with type 2 diabetes are at high risk of many serious diabetic complications, including cardiovascular disease, blindness, nerve damage and kidney damage. Balaglitazone is a thiazolidinedione derivative that is being developed as an oral anti-diabetic drug to improve blood glucose control in patients with type 2 diabetes. The purpose of this study is to assess if additional treatment with balaglitazone in patients with type 2 diabetes on stable insulin treatment will improve blood glucose control and decrease the daily insulin dose compared to placebo, but with less impact on weight gain and oedema than pioglitazone (Actos®) 45 mg.
Objective: GH induces insulin resistance in muscle and fat and in vitro data indicate that this may involve crosstalk between the signaling pathways of the two hormones. Aim: To investigate GH and insulin signaling in vivo in human muscle and fat tissue in response to GH, GH receptor blockade and insulin stimulation..
The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of the Anti-Adhesion Product (AAP) in preventing or reducing post-operative adhesion formation and re-formation in a subject population having abdominal surgery and being left with a rectal stump and a temporary stoma from a first procedure and scheduled for a laparoscopy/ laparotomy as a second procedure in the normal treatment of the subjects' disease. In both study groups, surgical measures to prevent adhesions were taken, e.g. using minimum traumatizing surgical technique, using powder-free gloves. In the investigational product group, AAP was applied to the rectal stump and the incision line while no specific additional treatment was applied in the control group. The surgeon assessed preexisting adhesions during the first surgery. Newly developed and re-formed adhesions were evaluated during the second surgery by a surgeon or assistant who did not know the result of randomization. The safety of the study drug was also monitored.
This is a phase 2, randomized, placebo controlled, multi-center study to estimate the treatment effect and evaluate the safety and tolerability of AMG 386 in combination with paclitaxel and paclitaxel/bevacizumab in the treatment of subjects with Her2-negative metastatic or locally recurrent breast cancer. AMG 386 is a man-made medication that is designed to stop the development of blood vessels in cancer tissues. Cancer tissues rely on the development of new blood vessels, a process called angiogenesis, to obtain a supply of oxygen and nutrients to grow.
Laparoscopic Ultrasound (LUS) is an important part of the pre-treatment evaluation of patients with upper gastrointestinal tract cancer (esophageal, gastric, pancreatic and liver cancer). When a suspect lesion is visualized during LUS a biopsy should be provided in order to differentiate between benign and malignant lesions. A new system for LUS guided biopsy has been developed, but how often these biopsies are clinically relevant (i.e. changing patient management)and how reliable are these biopsies are unknown. The study hypothesis is that LUS guided biopsies are accurate and clinically relevant in the pre-treatment evaluation of patients with upper gastrointestinal tract cancer.
The study will examine the efficacy,safety and tolerability of combination therapy of tamsulosin and solifenacin compared to placebo and monotherapy of tamsulosin and solifenacin in the treatment of males with LUTS associated with BPH.
Standard treatment of patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction consist of acute re-opening of the occluded coronary artery (primary PCI). Despite successful treatment of the epicardial vessel reperfusion is sometimes inadequate leading to large final infarct sizes. This phenomenon is known as the reperfusion injury. Several animal studies have indicated that graded re-opening of the artery may limit tissue damage. Generally this is referred to as mechanical postconditioning. The study investigates the effect on final infarct size evaluated by magnetic resonance scan of postconditioning of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarctions. Mechanical postconditioning is performed by means of several balloon inflations in the injured vessel following its acute re-opening.
This patient follow-up programme was designed to describe the extent of Symbicort use in patients prescribed Symbicort as maintenance and reliever therapy in routine clinical practice in comparison with the already documented use of Symbicort as maintenance and reliever therapy in clinical therapies
To investigate the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in patients with Heart Failure. To investigate if vitamin D levels are correlated to the degree of Heart Failure.
