There are about 218 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Iceland. 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.
People with disease (PD) tend to walk with short steps, decreased velocity, and increased stride time variability. Short steps and increased variability are related to greater fall risk. In addition, concurrent performance of a cognitive task (dual-task (DT)) has marked effects on gait in people with PD which is considered to reflect an impaired automaticity of gait. Objective: To investigate short and long term effects of high-volume walking with visual spatial cues (VSC) on gait variables, automaticity, and functional mobility, in people with Parkinson´s Disease (PD), compared with walking without VSC.
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 2 maintenance regimens of ustekinumab administered subcutaneously to patients with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease who responded to treatment with intravenous ustekinumab in studies CNTO1275CRD3001 and CNTO1275CRD3002, compared to subcutaneously administered placebo.
This study (UNITI-2) will compare the effects (both positive and negative) of an initial treatment with ustekinumab to a placebo over 8 weeks in patients with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease.
This study (UNITI-1) will compare the effects (both positive and negative) of an initial treatment with ustekinumab to placebo over 8 weeks, in patients with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease who have either failed or could not tolerate at least one TNF-antagonist medications in the past (specifically, infliximab, adalimumab, or certolizumab pegol).
This study will assess the safety and efficacy of secukinumab compared to placebo in patients that have moderate to severe, chronic, plaque-type psoriasis.
This study will assess the safety and efficacy of secukinumab compared to placebo and etanercept in patients that have moderate to severe, chronic, plaque-type psoriasis.
The clinical study is designed to assess the effectiveness, safety and non-immunogenicity of fish skin wound dressing extracellular matrix (ECM) in treating chronic wounds. The wound dressing is indicated for the management of difficult to heal and chronic wounds. The matrix is cut to fit the wound and is applied to the wound bed. An absorptive secondary dressing is put on top. Further dressing of the wound depends on the etiology. The indications for use are: - partial and full-thickness wounds - pressure ulcers - venous ulcers - diabetic ulcers - chronic vascular ulcers - tunneled/undermined wounds - trauma wounds (abrasions, lacerations, second-degree burns, and skin tears)
Main Study (CACZ885M2301): The purpose of the pivotal phase of this trial was to test the hypothesis that canakinumab treatment of patients with myocardial infarction (MI) at least one month prior to study entry and elevated hsCRP could prevent recurrent cardiovascular events. The purpose of the extension phase of the main study is to collect additional long-term safety data on continued exposure to canakinumab in patients who participated in the pivotal phase. Sub-study 1 (CACZ885M2301S1): The purpose of this sub-study was to evaluate the effect of quarterly subcutaneous canakinumab treatment for 24 months comparted with placebo on the carotid plaque burden measured by integrated vascular MRI in patients enrolled in the CACZ885M2301 study (CANTOS). Sub-study 2 (CACZ885M2301S2): The purpose of this CANTOS sub-study was to determine whether, in patients with type 2 diabetes participating in the CANTOS main study, canakinumab compared to placebo, on top of standard of care could increase insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity.
Background: - Researchers are interested in studying the environmental and genetic factors that play a role in health and living conditions as people age. Since 2002, the U.S. National Institute on Aging and the Icelandic Heart Association Research Institute have been conducting a long-term study known as the Research in Aging project to collect personal data and samples from Icelandic men and women in order to study risk factors related to disease and disability in old age. Researchers plan to initiate a second stage of the study. Objectives: - To collect additional personal information, medical records, and blood samples from individuals who have previously provided materials for the Research in Aging Project in Iceland. Eligibility: - Individuals who have previously participated in the Research in Aging project in association with the U.S. National Institute on Aging and the Icelandic Heart Association Research Institute. Design: - Participants will have a physical examination with imaging analysis procedures and hearing and eye tests, provide information on health and diet, and provide a 100-ml blood sample for testing. - Participants will also provide consent for researchers to consult data and samples collected during the first stage of the Research on Aging project.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether PROSTVAC alone or in combination with GM-CSF is effective in prolonging overall survival in men with few or no symptoms from metastatic, castrate-resistant prostate cancer.
