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 the study is to evaluate mid and long term postoperative pain and further disabling complications in open inguinal hernia repair by Lichtenstein technique after mesh fixation with fibrin sealant (FS), compared to mesh fixation with sutures.
Study examining the effect of different diuretics on fluid retention in diabetics treated with rosiglitazone.
In the present study the design of the vitamin B12 absorption test, CobaSorb, is further optimised. We investigate which test – measurement of holotranscobalamin or cobalamins – could be used for reflection of vitamin B12 absorption. Furthermore, we prolong the duration of vitamin B12 administration in order to determine the final duration of the vitamin B12 absorption test CobaSorb. Seventy-eight healthy individuals (age 21-81 years) are treated with three oral doses of 9 microgram cyanocobalamin per day for five successive days. Non-fasting blood samples are collected on day 1-5 before administration of the first dose of vitamin B12 and on day 8. Cobalamins and holotranscobalamin are measured on day 1–5 and 8. The performance of the vitamin B12 absorption test will be evaluated in individuals with borderline or low levels of holotranscobalamin or cobalamins (below the 75% percentiles) using a change larger than 2CV(day to day) of holotranscobalamin (22%) and cobalamins (12%) to indicate a change caused by absorption of the administered vitamin B12.
To study the safety and effectiveness of several doses of PD 0348292 compared to enoxaparin in preventing blood clots in the lungs or deep leg veins of patients after knee surgery
The purpose of this study is to determine whether CCX282-B is effective in treating patients with moderate to severe Crohn's Disease.
The aim of this study is to quantify the effect of IVIG treatment in a group of patients with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy(CIDP), who requires continues treatment of IVIG at regular intervals of 3-10 weeks: 1. During continues treatment of IVIG at regular intervals of 3-10 weeks. 2. During pause in treatment. Hypothesis: 1. The disease activity in the patients are cyclical correlating to the treatment intervals. 2. Pause in treatment will increase disease activity, which can be quantified with symptom scores, disability scales, and clinical test. Primary effect parameter is muscle strength quantified by isokinetic dynamometry. Added to the protocol there is an immunological study of inflammatory markers in blood samples of patients under treatment pause.
COMPASS-2 is a Phase 4, prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, event-driven study evaluating the effect of bosentan on the time to first confirmed morbidity/mortality event in patients with symptomatic PAH already receiving sildenafil therapy. Patients must have been receiving doses of sildenafil equal to or greater than 20 mg t.i.d. for at least 12 weeks prior to being randomized. The study continued until the predefined target number of morbidity/mortality events was reached.
Aim: To investigate the therapeutic potential of IL-1Ra in type 2 diabetes. Rationale: Since the major defect leading to a decrease in b-cell mass in type 2 diabetes is increased apoptosis, therapeutic approaches designed to arrest apoptosis could be a significant new development in its management. This approach might actually reverse the disease to a degree rather than just palliate glycemia. Based on current thinking, treatment with IL-1Ra appears as a promising approach. The prospected effect is blocking of the IL-1b-mediated glucotoxicity and thereby to prevent the decline in b-cell mass, together with a rapid restoration of b-cell function. FDA approval for IL-1Ra in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis occurred based on a favourable tolerability profile.
The purpose of this study is to investigate if combination treatment with Bosentan and Sildenafil to patients with Eisenmenger syndrome is beneficial.
Aim: To dissociate the effects on plasma concentrations of the inflammatory marker c-reactive protein of a negative energy balance and a reduction in body fat stores. Secondly to compare CRP with fibrinogen and interleukin-6 (IL-6).
