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 study will include 20 people with hand OA awaiting surgery in the fingers. Participants will undergo dual-energy CT, cone-beam CT, ultrasound, clinical examination, blood sampling and questionnaires. Images will be analysed for the presence of joint-associated crystal including monosodium urate, calcium pyrophosphate and calcium hydroxyapatite. Material obtained during surgery will be used for crystal verification and calculation of diagnostic accuracy of dual-energy CT and cone-beam CT.
The study aims to investigate whether cell-based non-invasive prenatal testing (cbNIPT) can be used as an alternative to invasive chorionic villus sampling (CVS) in patients who achieve pregnancy following preimplantation genetic testing for monogenic disorders (PGT-M).
The purpose of this study is to investigate dietary compositions effect on liverfat measured by magnetic resonance imaging.
The trial is conducted to investigate the clinical efficacy of a combination product containing calcipotriol and betamethasone formulated as an aerosol foam (Enstilar ©) for the treatment of nail psoriasis in conjunction with physical pre-treatment using a fractionally ablative carbon dioxide laser (AFL). It is hypothesized, based on preclinical data and comparable clinical trials, that laser processing prior to topical administration will lead to increased drug distribution, and thereby increase the efficacy of Enstilar® in treating nail psoriasis.
This open-label, entry-into-human (EIH) study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics of RO7283420. Escalating doses of RO7283420 will be administered to participants with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) in order to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended Phase II dose (RP2D).
As Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) progresses normophosphatemia is maintained by increasing the per nephron urinary phosphorus excretion. Clinically, hyperphosphatemia is associated with high mortality, vascular calcification, endothelial dysfunction and progression of left ventricular hypertrophy. Currently the treatment of hyperphosphatemia is first being initiated in stage 5 and consists of dietetic guidance to avoid dietary phosphate and treatment with oral phosphate binders. However, studies have shown important side effects to phosphate binders in terms of progression of vascular calcifications. Therefore, it might be beneficial to start the dietetic treatment with a reduction of dietary phosphate earlier in the disease stage. The aim of this project is to develop a New Nordic Renal Diet (NNRD) for CKD patients' stage 3-4 and to examine the long-term effects in a period of 26-weeks. NNRD has a high content of vegetable foods, less animal products and more local food items with a lesser content of phosphorus.
This study will investigate how some artificial sweeteners (AS) cross from blood to breastmilk in breastfeeding women after oral intake. Moreover, it will be investigated whether the kinetics of AS differ based on the women's body composition (BMI) and metabolic status (diabetes). This will be investigated through a clinical trial in which 60 women divided into three groups (normal weight, overweight and diabetic) will drink a beverage containing four AS. over a period of six hours the women will donate blood and breast milk samples in order to investigate the presence of AS.
Adenosine is a nucleoside that plays a role in both vascular and nociceptive systems, and it has been proposed that adenosine may cause headache in particularly sensitive subjects. Thus, considerable evidence implied that adenosine plays a role in migraine pathophysiology, it is still unknown if intravenous adenosine infusion provokes migraine attacks in healthy subject or in migraine patients. Furthermore, adenosine's effects on the cerebral hemodynamic remains unknown. This study aims to clarify a possible coherence between adenosine and headache/migraine. In general, the study will contribute to a greater understanding of migraine pathogenesis and possibly lead to development of specific migraine treatment.
Background: The worldwide incidence of skin cancer has been rising for 50 years, in particular the incidence of malignant melanoma has increased approx. 2-7% annually and is the most common cancer amongst Danes aged 15-34. Currently there is a significant amount of misdiagnosis of skin cancer and mole cancer. Our aim is to improve general practitioners' diagnostic skills and accuracy of skin and mole cancer. Research questions: In a population of Danish General Practitioners (GPs) what is the dose/response effect of hours spent with an educational platform that offers AI augmented training and clinical feedback on their diagnostic accuracy and accurate clinical management (treatment, dismissal, referral)? Does access to an educational platform that offers AI augmented training and clinical feedback increase the number of malignant skin lesions referred by Danish GPs without simultaneously increasing the number of incorrect benign referrals? Can the participating GPs clinical accuracy be predicted from the MCQ-score by comparing their quiz answers and diagnostic accuracy on their registered lesions with their score on the MCQ? Method: 90 Danish GPs will at baseline, 1 month and end of trial answer a Multiple Choice Questionnaire (MCQ). There is no change to current clinical practice, but all participating doctors will be asked to register a clinical picture and a dermoscopic image as well as basic information about the lesion and patient (age, gender, location and diagnosis) of all skin lesions examined due to a suspicion for non-melanoma or melanoma skin cancer, raised by the GP or patient. GPs in the intervention group are besides the registration application (R-app) given access to an AI augmented training and clinical feedback through an educational smartphone app (E-app). Within the E-app the doctor can access quizzes on a library of 10,000+ skin lesions, written articles about the 40 most common skin lesions, and a clinical feedback module that gives the GP feedback on their registered skin lesions. Feedback on skin lesions with the registered clinical management of referred/excised/biopsied will be provided continuously by independent experts in skin cancer diagnostics (>10 years of experience) through a web-based review system developed by our group. Feedback on the remaining registered cases are withheld until the end of the study period. This is done to simulate a realistic clinical setting during the study.
The primary objective of this trial is to assess the efficacy of an intervention with heated mittens in patients with hand osteoarthritis (HOA). The joints of the hands are some of the most commonly joints affected by osteoarthritis, together with hip and knee joints. The prevalence increases with age and as the elderly population is growing so will the number of persons with HOA. The primary symptoms for HOA are reduced function, stiffness and pain, with function being the most limiting factor for the patients. Pharmacological treatments have some effect. Non-pharmacological treatments (such as exercise) have been investigated in a limited number of studies with overall minimal effect on the primary symptoms. In the earlier days the use of heating interventions, such as paraffin bath, was common treatment for patients with arthritis. During the last decades a shift from heating to exercise oriented treatment has occurred, however seemingly with limited effect on the primary symptoms. American College of Rheumatology (ACR) newest published guideline for the management of HOA (2020) recommend heating as a treatment among others but without scientific sound evidence for effect. The hypothesis is that heated mittens worn at least 15 minutes every day for six weeks has a beneficial effect on physical function in patient with HOA when compared to placebo mittens (heat deactivated). This study is designed as a randomized controlled trial with two parallel groups (1:1) and physical function of the hand as primary endpoint after six weeks. The plan is to include 200 patients with HOA for this study. The intervention group will receive mittens with functioning heating elements; the control group will receive mittens without a functioning heating element. All participants are asked to wear the mittens for 6 weeks, 15 minutes each day. The primary endpoint is change in physical function of the hand, measured with the Australian/Canadian Osteoarthritis Hand Index (AUSCAN).
