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 Standard Care versus Celecoxib Outcome Trial (SCOT) is a large streamline safety study designed to compare the cardiovascular safety of celecoxib versus traditional non-selective Non Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug (NSAID) therapy.Traditional NSAID's are associated with significant morbidity and mortality from gastrointestinal toxicity. Cyclooxygenase 2 (Cox-2)selective agents are associated with reduced upper gastrointestinal toxicity.Traditional NSAID's and Cox-2 inhibitors may also be associated with cardiovascular and renal disorders. Data from both randomised and observational studies suggest that celecoxib has similar or reduced cardiovascular toxicity when compared to traditional NSAID's. However, the overall safety balance of a strategy of celecoxib therapy versus a strategy of NSAID therapy is unknown. The European Medicines Evaluation Agency (EMEA) has requested that studies of the cardiovascular safety of celecoxib be carried out within the indicated population of Europe. This study addresses these issues by comparing the cardiovascular safety of celecoxib therapy with traditional NSAID therapy in the setting of the EU healthcare system. As of May 2013, 7300 patients had been randomised, and had accrued an average 4.2 years of follow up by the end of May 2014.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether GW842166 is effective in the treatment of osteoarthritis pain of the knee.
We would like to investigate the natural variation in the strokevolume of the heart. At the same time we would like to find out the minimal number of heart cycles necessary to discover a 10% increase in strokevolume, after a fluid bolus of 200ml Voluven, when using Esophageal Doppler.
Fish from the aquaculture sector constitutes an increasing part of the fish consumption in Denmark. The most important farmed fish in Denmark is the rainbow trout. Due to limited access of wild fish for the feed production, alternative feeding regimes of vegetable origin such as vegetable proteins and rapeseed oil are used instead of marine feed. This change in feeding regime may affect flesh quality and health and nutritional properties as the content of long-chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 LCPUFA) will presumably decrease in the meat. The objective of the study is to investigate the effect of vegetable based feed versus marine feed of farmed trout and its effect in healthy men on cardiovascular risk markers associated with the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD).
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of fesoterodine in comparison to tolterodine and placebo for overactive bladder
[S,S]-Reboxetine will be used to evaluate pharmacodynamic changes in urethral function in healthy volunteers using a novel methodology
We will conduct a prospective cohort study evaluating the incidence of and optimal risk estimation model for major perioperative cardiovascular events in consecutive patients undergoing noncardiac surgery at the 'Herlev University Hospital'. This national pilot study in Denmark together with other national studies will inform the feasibility of a large prospective international cohort study.
Vaccination with autologous dendritic cells pulsed with allogeneic melanoma cell lysate (MelCancerVac) in combination with the Cox-2 inhibitor of celecoxib for the treatment of patients with advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Adjuvant Aldara cream will be used as adjuvant for induction of inflammation at the injection site, and the lymphocyte growth factor of interleukin-2 (IL-2) will be given as s.c. injection. The treatment aims at boosting the patient's specific immune system against the cancer cells.
Dandelion juice has been used in herbal medicine for at least 1000 years. Vesicular hand eczema is a rare, but difficult to treat, type of hand eczema. One case report has shown that ingestion of dandelion juice could induce a beneficial effect on this type of eczema. The purpose of this study is to test whether this effect can be retrieved in other patients.
The primary objective of this study was to assess the anti-hypertensive effect of OM/HCTZ 40/12.5 mg combination therapy compared to OM 40 mg monotherapy in lowering sitting diastolic BP in hypertensive patients after 8 weeks of double-blind treatment. The study consisted of two sequential phases of 8 weeks duration each: During the first phase, OM 40 mg monotherapy was compared with OM/HCTZ 40/12.5 mg in order to evaluate the additional benefit of OM/HCTZ 40/12.5 mg in the treatment of essential moderate to severe hypertension. During the second phase, patients whose BP proved to be insufficiently controlled by the OM 40 mg monotherapy were to start OM/HCTZ 40/12.5 mg combination therapy while patients whose BP proved to be insufficiently controlled by the OM/HCTZ 40/12.5 mg combination were to be up-titrated to the OM/HCTZ 40/25 mg combination to evaluate the additional benefit of the up-titrated combination. The study was be conducted by qualified and experienced personnel with adherence to GCP, current guidelines on the design of studies in hypertension, the applicable regulatory requirements and the ethical principles based on the Declaration of Helsinki.
