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.
Thirty-two healthy volunteers will be submitted to experimental pain and on the 2 study days receive Oxycodone 20 mg po vs. placebo. Half of the volunteers will be poor metabolizers according to CYP2D6 genotype and half will be extensive metabolizers (EM) and have an enzyme with normal function. The study hypothesis is that PM will experience less pain relief than EM.
This is a randomised, single blinded, multicentre trial to evaluate whether daily procalcitonin (PCT) measurements and immediate diagnostic and therapeutic responses to abnormal values and day-to-day changes can reduce the mortality of critically ill patients in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
The purpose of the study is to compare patient satisfaction, clinical efficacy and adverse effects of Q-switched YAG laser versus punch biopsies for the treatment of tattoo dots that are applied as skin markers in relation to X-ray treatment of malignant disorders.
Heart failure is a progressive disease that decreases the pumping action of the heart. This may cause a backup of fluid in the heart and may result in heart beat changes. When there are changes in the heart beat sometimes an implantable heart device is used to control the rate and rhythm of the heart beat. The purpose of the REVERSE clinical trial is to determine whether pacing in both the left and right ventricles using Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) can help slow the progression of heart failure in people who have mild or previous symptoms and poor heart pumping function. This kind of therapy has previously been shown to reduce symptoms and improve exercise capacity in people with more advanced forms of heart failure.
An accurate dosage of anesthetics during surgery is important. Usually this is achieved through close observation of the patient, but a new monitor (CSM-monitor) can measure the level of anesthesia more closely. In obese patients dosage of drugs is difficult due to the change in body composition. The CSM-monitor may provide a more accurate dosage of propofol (an anesthetic agent) during surgery, and as a consequence of that, also reduce the postoperative need for analgesics. Main objective: To optimise propofol dosing in obese patients undergoing hysterectomy. Main hypothesis: Monitoring the depth of anesthesia using the CSM-monitor reduces time to opening eyes in obese patients after hysterectomy in propofol anesthesia. Secondary hypotheses: CSM-monitoring reduce propofol dose in obese patients undergoing hysterectomy. Patients with a high CSM-level during hysterectomy have higher postoperative consumption of analgesics. Supplementary, an algorithm for the dose of propofol that most frequently results in a CSM-level between 40 and 60 is calculated.
The study aims to compare two different kinds of pain treatment after total knee replacement (operation with artificial knee joint): 1) a large local injection in and around the knee, supplemented with injection the day after, or 2) the department's conventional pain treatment consisting of continuous nerve block in the groin.
Is PET-CT scan better than PET or CT alone in diagnosing primary tumours in patients with unknown primary tumors? Can information obtained with PET-CT replace other clinical and radiological investigations? Is PET/CT cost-effective?
This trial of SB-480848 in approximately 920 subjects with Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) or CHD-risk equivalent will examine whether SB-480848 produces sustained inhibition of plasma Lp-PLA2 activity, explore the effects of SB-480848 on other circulating biomarkers associated with cardiovascular risk, and evaluate the pharmacokinetics, safety and tolerability of SB-480848 over 12 weeks of once-daily oral dosing. Subjects will first be randomized 1:1 to double-blind atorvastatin 20 mg or 80 mg once daily for a minimum of 3 weeks. Subjects will then be randomized 1:1:1:1 to oral doses of SB-480848 40 mg, 80 mg, 160 mg or placebo once daily for 12 weeks. Blood samples will be collected at various timepoints. Vital signs, electrocardiograms, clinical laboratory safety tests and adverse event assessments will be performed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of SB-480848.
IBIS-2 is a study using SB-480848 versus placebo in subjects with angiographically documented coronary heart disease. Endpoints include coronary imaging, endothelial function, biomarkers, safety and tolerability.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of subcutaneous administration of immunoglobulin compared to intravenous treatment, for multifocal motor neuropathy NB. ONLY RECRUITING FROM DENMARK
