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.
To investigate whether the Glucagon Like Peptide 1 (GLP-1) Semaglutide (1.34 mg/ml) has preventive effect compared to placebo in the development of diabetes and Metabolic Syndrome in people with pre-diabetes, overweight and schizophrenia, who receive antipsychotic treatment. Furthermore to investigate for an effect of Semaglutide compared to placebo on psychotic symptoms and quality of life in people with schizophrenia, prediabetes and overweight.
Cortisol, a glucocorticoid (GC) hormone secreted from the adrenal glands, is essential for survival. Cortisol also possesses anti-inflammatory actions and GC formulations (prednisolone) are used to treat many inflammatory diseases and conditions. Indeed, three percent of the Danish population (≈ 180.000 individuals) redeems at least one prescription of synthetic GC per year and at least 20,000 patients annually discontinue GC treatment. Pharmacological GC therapy suppresses endogenous cortisol production and thereby induce relative adrenal insufficiency (GIA). The risk of GIA as determined by the adrenal corticotrophic hormone (ACTH) stimulation test has previously been reported to ≈ 25 %, but testing after GC treatment is not routinely performed. Indeed, we have new and unpublished but persuasive evidence to suggest that the risk of GIA after planned cessation of prednisolone treatment for polymyalgia rheumatic (PMR) or giant cell arteritis (GCA) is substantially lower, probably 2%. The reason for this discrepancy is undoubtedly selection bias in the previous publications and the use of inaccurate cortisol assays. At the same time, however, we observed that 25% exhibited pronounced symptoms of adrenal insufficiency based on a questionnaire specific for detecting symptoms of adrenal insufficiency, the so-called AddiQoL-30. Concomitantly, the basal cortisol levels in the same group were significantly lower as compared to the group, who exhibited milder or no symptoms attributable to adrenal insufficiency. This observation aligns with the clinical experience that PMR/GCA patients often complain of fatigue after planned cessation of prednisolone treatment. This often occurs in the absence of objective symptoms or signs of residual PMR/GCA disease activity. The scenario has been designated as "the steroid withdrawal syndrome". We argue, that this may represent a state of relative adrenal insufficiency prompted by long term, high dose prednisolone treatment. The proper way to tackle this clinical conundrum is to perform a proper randomized trial, which so far has not been conducted. Therefore, we will perform the first placebo-controlled randomised controlled trial (RCT) in patients with PMR and GCA after planned cessation of GC treatment. We argue that neither watchful waiting nor routine hydrocortisone replacement are infallible. Our study will be the first evidence-based guidance and aid to GIA patients and thus meet an important need for many thousand patients.
This randomized clinical trial will examine the effect of inforatio technique on healing of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs). Inforatio technique is a novel procedure developed by the research group. The definition of inforatio technique is application of small cuts in wound beds with punch biopsy tools without involving surrounding epithelia. The aim is to initiate an acute inflammatory response that will promote healing of the ulcers.
Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is a rare severe complication to SARS-CoV-2 infection in children. It has been reported to occur in approximately one of 3,000 to 4,000 unvaccinated children during the COVID-19 waves dominated by variant Alpha of SARS-CoV-2. However, the incidences following SARS-CoV-2 infection with variant delta and omicron, as well as among vaccinated children and adolescents with SARS-CoV-2 is yet unexplored. The investigators aim to estimate the incidence of MIS-C and in vaccinated and unvaccinated children and adolescents following variants delta and omicron, and other complications of SARS-CoV-2 including complication due to SARS-CoV-2 lock-down, based on a nationwide prospective population-based cohort study.
Myopericarditis is a rare complication to messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) COVID-19 vaccines, especially in male adolescents and young adults. The risk in children 5-11 years old is unknown. In Denmark, the Pfizer-BioNTech mRNA COVID-19 vaccination was recommended from December 1, 2021 in individuals aged 5-11 years old. We aim to estimate the incidence of myopericarditis in children 5-11 years old after mRNA COVID-19 vaccination among vaccinated individuals based on a nationwide prospective population-based cohort study with detailed clinical phenotyping.
No validated biomarkers exist that can identify patients with biliary tract cancer at an early stage or predict treatment outcomes. The objective of the present study is to find diagnostic, prognostic and predictive biomarkers.
Infectious keratitis is a potential sight threatening condition. In conventional clinical practice culturing is performed in order to identify the causative microbial organism; however in recent years Next Generation Sequencing for the presence of ribosomal DNA from bacteria, fungi, or amoeba has become available. The present study aims to compare conventional culturing with Next Generation Sequencing for identifying microorganism causing keratitis.
DMX-200 (repagermanium) is a C-C chemokine receptor type 2 (CCR2) inhibitor that, when administered concurrently with an ARB, is designed to inhibit recruitment of monocytes implicated in the inflammatory chemokine environment of chronic disease. The purpose of this pivotal randomized double-blind study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of DMX-200 120 mg twice daily (BID) compared with placebo over a treatment period of 104 weeks in adult patients with FSGS who are being treated with an ARB. Given the rarity of the disease and the similarities between adults and pediatric patients with FSGS, Dimerix will also investigate the efficacy and safety of DMX 200 in adolescents aged 12 to 17 years. The double-blind period will be followed by an open-label extension (OLE) which aims to assess the long-term efficacy and safety of DMX 200 for up to 2 additional years.
A study to evaluate if the randomized addition of venetoclax to a chemotherapy backbone (fludarabine/cytarabine/gemtuzumab ozogamicin [GO]) improves survival of children/adolescents/young adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in 1st relapse who are unable to receive additional anthracyclines, or in 2nd relapse.
Both GLP-2 and GIP reduce bone resorption (measured as CTX) in healthy persons. In this study, we will investigate whether GLP-2 and GIP is reducing CTX in individuals with spinal cord injury.
