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.
Every year approximately 300 Danish patients die from lymphoma. The median age at diagnosis is 70 years. Lymphoma can be efficiently treated with chemotherapy, and potentially cured. However, sufficient treatment is often hampered by toxicity, especially in elderly patients. It is also well known that the main risk factor for dying of lymphoma is age. New biologically targeted therapies with fewer side effects are becoming available for lymphoma treatment, however it is currently difficult to delineate which patients benefit from chemotherapy and which should be treated with novel expensive therapies. Recently, it has been discovered that chemotherapy can provoke growth of patient blood cells with DNA mutations. This leads to increased rates of treatment side effects and excess mortality. These defects have so far only been examined in younger patients below 70 years of age, where they are found in roughly 10% of patients. It remains unknown to what extent elderly individuals are affected, but the investigators hypothesize that the proportion and negative effects are much larger. Therefore, the investigators propose to investigate the frequency and evolution of these DNA mutations during chemotherapy in a prospective study of patients, who are either above 60 years of age and previously treated with chemotherapy for lymphoma in a nation-wide collaboration. By using blood samples, advanced genetic analyses and patient-reported questionnaires, the investigators will study - The prevalence of these mutations and their consequences for patient wellbeing, treatment side effects (such as anemia, infections etc.) and mortality - The kinetics of these mutations during and after treatment, and explore possible evolutionary patterns of the inferred damages The investigators expect to include 300 patients in the study and that the first results will be ready in a timeframe of 4 years. The investigators hope to obtain new insights in the risk factors for physiological and mental health in lymphoma patients and thereby pave the way for improvements in wellbeing and survival of this underserved population.
Chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI) is often caused by narrowings in the arteries providing blood to the intestines. Endovascular stent placement is considered the preferred treatment for this condition. Guidelines increasingly support the use of so called covered stents (CS) in stead of bare stents (BMS) for this use but the level of evidence for this is limited. Using CS incur additional costs for healthcare short-term but may prevent recurrence of narrowing and symptoms postoperatively benefitting patients and healthcare. Study Objective: To evaluate the outcomes after stenting of mesenteric arteries using BMS or CS. Study Outcome: Primary stent patency 1 year after placement The trial will also evaluate complications, how often stents need to be reoperated, Quality of Life (QoL) and reasons for subjects death Method: This is a so called prospective, randomized controlled trial comparing CS vs. BMS. This means that one patients have agrred to treatment they will be randomly selected for treatment with either CS or BMS . The stent metal structure is identical in the two implants and the only difference is the graft covering, making this study unique. The study will also collect blood samples for a biobank that will be used to study markers of disease and how these effect treatment outcomes. All patients referred to the Department of Vascular Surgery due to CMI are considered for inclusion if they havechronic symptoms consistent with CMI, significant stenosis or occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery and are > 18 years Subjects not able to provide informed consent or who have non atherosclerotic cause of CMI, signs of acute loss of blood flow to the intestines cannot participate. Previous stent treatment in the superior mesenteric artery, pregnancy, allergies to contrast or stent materials are also reasons for not being included in this trial. Side effects, risks and disadvantages for participants The risk for procedure-related complications is less than 5% and similar in both study groups. Most short-term complications are related to vascular access sites and consist of local bleeding and thrombosis. Other potential complications include impaired renal function due to contrast use, contrast allergy, arterial dissection and death.
This is a multicenter, randomized, open-label, Phase 3 study in participants with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma to evaluate the benefits of teclistamab in combination with lenalidomide and teclistamab alone versus lenalidomide alone as maintenance therapy after autologous stem cell transplant.
This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and activity of XmAb24306 in combination with a multiple myeloma (MM)-targeting monoclonal antibody capable of inducing antibody-dependent cellular toxicity (ADCC) in participants with relapsed or refractory (R/R) MM who have received a minimum of three prior treatments, including at least one immunomodulatory drug (IMiD), one proteasome inhibitor (PI), and one anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of JNJ-78934804 as compared to guselkumab and golimumab in participants with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis who have had an inadequate initial response, loss of response, or intolerance to one or more approved advanced therapy.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of JNJ-78934804 at Week 48 compared to guselkumab and golimumab.
Randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study in AS patients with subclinical or clinical heart failure undergoing treatment with TAVR.
Today mother and infant are routinely separated directly after birth if there is a need of specialised treatment and care, despite of the significant and positive effects of skin-to-skin contact. Thus, there is a need of change in organizing the treatment and care in a way that minimizes separation. The aim is to evaluate the implementation and effect of a complex family-centred intervention based 107 on zero separation and couplet care. The intervention is rooted in the philosophy of family-centred care. Essentially, mother infant dyads will be admitted together, where they will receive couplet care by neonatal nurses. The study comprises a quasi-experimental trial and a qualitative process evaluation including a field study and two interview studies. Finally, a health economic evaluation will be conducted to assess the cost-effectiveness of this complex intervention. The intervention will take place at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Hvidovre Hospital. The nurses will as a part of the intervention be educated to take care of both mother and infant and carry out the intervention. Five families with experiences from the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and the Maternity Unit participates as patient and public representative in the project, as their experiences and ideas will provide an added value to the project. This study contribute with a new perspective on how to organize the treatment and care of a newborn family in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. The study will be the first to examine zero separation and couplet care within sick mother-infant dyads. The study will provide knowledge about how an intervention consisting of zero separation and couplet care can be feasible and acceptable, and what kind of effect and impact it will provide. It is expected that the study as a whole may impact and profile clinical nursing, as well as benefitting public health.
The study investigates the role of mTOR in mediating enhancement of muscle insulin sensitivity following a single bout of exercise. This will be investigated in young healthy male subjects by administering the pharmacological mTOR inhibitor Rapamycin in a crossover blinded experimental setup known to enhance muscle insulin sensitivity following one-legged knee-extensor exercise.
To investigate the prognostic and predictive value of plasma HPV (pHPV) prior, during and after induction chemotherapy (ICT) in locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the anus (SCCA) or synchronous metastatic SCCA patients treated with ICT prior to definitive (chemo)radiotherapy ((C)RT) according to multidisciplinary team (MDT) conferences based decisions. Further to investigate the use of pHPV measurements and other relevant markers for prediction of response and survival after ICT prior to definitive (C)RT.
