There are about 5161 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Norway. 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.
This is a first-in-human Phase I, open-label, multicenter, global, dose-escalation study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of RO7297089 and make a preliminary assessment of anti-tumor activity in patients with R/R MM for whom no established therapy for MM is appropriate and available or who are intolerant to those established therapies.
Cervical dystonia (CD) is the most common isolated dystonia in adults. Cervical dystonia symptoms can in most patients be managed well by botulinum toxin (BTX) injections, and supporting treatment measures. However, one-fifth to one-third of patients do not obtain sufficient relief from long-term BTX therapy, resulting in reduced quality of life. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a treatment method in which electrodes are surgically implanted permanently in the brain to modulate brain networks and function. In cervical dystonia, DBS of the postero-ventral part of the internal globus pallidus (GPi-DBS) has been established as an effective treatment for severe cases. However, the outcome of GPi-DBS in cervical dystonia has been reported mostly in some smaller series with up to 3 years follow-up. Thus, there is a lack of documentation of outcome of GPi-DBS in CD beyond 3 years of treatment and in larger patient materials. In this study the investigators will perform a long-term follow-up study of patients who were operated with a DBS-device targeting the GPi bilaterally, and who have been treated with chronic GPi-DBS for a minimum of 3 years. The investigators will measure the severity of symptom burden and quality of life with validated rating scales. The investigators will compare this DBS-treated cohort with an age- and gender matched group of CD patients who are receiving the standard treatment with botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) injections and have been treated for at least 3 years as well. The investigators hypothesize that the DBS-treated group will have a significantly lower burden of symptoms at long-term follow-up than the BoNT treated group.
In this multicenter cohort study, the stability of non-displaced Lisfranc injuries as well as their outcomes will be evaluated.
This study is designed to assess the safety and efficacy of lenvatinib in combination with pembrolizumab versus standard of care (SOC) chemotherapy, and to also assess the safety and efficacy of lenvatinib monotherapy in participants with recurrent/metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (R/M HNSCC) that have progressed after platinum therapy and a programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) or anti-programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibitor. The primary hypothesis is that lenvatinib + pembrolizumab is superior to SOC chemotherapy with respect to ORR per modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 as assessed by blinded independent central review.
The current cohort study of 300 stable COPD patients aims to assess the following topics: - The prevalence of anxiety and depressive disorders in patients with COPD - The screening properties of Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale in patients with COPD - The prognostic influence by anxiety or depressive symptoms and anxiety or depressive disorder. - whether characterization of 1) affective aspects of dyspnea symptoms or 2) persistent styles of thinking (worry or rumination) and metacognitions that drive these may improve the current recommendation of screening for anxiety and depression in COPD in relation to its clinical relevance on functional status and three year outcome
We aim to explore some of the molecular factors that reduce fertility for women with leiomyomas, taking into account leiomyoma location, size, number and vascularity. Tissue samples from the endometrium and leiomyomas will be obtained during the mid secretory phase before and 3-6 months after surgical excision for a comprehensive search for key molecular derangements.
Patients with COVID-19 and hypoxaemic respiratory failure and admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) are treated with supplementary oxygen as a standard. However, quality of quantity evidence regarding this practise is low. The aim of the HOT-COVID trial is to evaluate the benefits and harms of two targets of partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood (PaO2) in guiding the oxygen therapy in acutely ill adult COVID-19 patients with hypoxaemic respiratory failure at ICU admission.
This is a Norwegian prospective observational study that evaluates the resectability rate in patients with borderline resectable and locally advanced pancreatic cancer who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy in a population based cohort. Eligible patients are treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy possibly followed by surgical exploration and resection. All Norwegian centres performing pancreatic surgery have agreed to collaborate in this trial. The assignment of the medical intervention is not at the discretion of the investigator, but follow the national Norwegian guidelines regarding diagnostic work up, oncological and surgical treatment and follow up.
In light of the ongoing COVID-19 epidemic in Norway, it is paramount to develop and utilize clinical tools for assessing and risk stratifying patients with suspected coronary infection in the emergency departments. Diagnostic use of ultrasound in viral pneumonias, including COVID-19 has proved to be very useful. The use of ultrasound will assist in quick detection of lung pathology compatible with increasing severity of the COVID-19 disease. At the same time, the use of ultrasound diagnostics in the emergency department could improve logistics and reduce potential exposure of the corona virus to other health personnel. The purpose of the study is to assess whether ultrasound findings correlates with physical examination, labs, and other imaging diagnostics in patients with suspected or diagnosed COVID-19 disease, as well as assessing whether ultrasound diagnostics can assist in risk stratification. The project is conducted as a prospective multicenter study where ultrasound diagnostics will be performed on patients with suspected coronary infection in the emergency departments. Data collection takes place as part of the daily clinical evaluation of acute patients in the emergency departments. The project is planned to be completed towards the end of 2025.
The Corona pandemic is affecting the whole world and since March 12.th 2020 there has been strict qurantene and social isolation interventions in Norway. The aim of this intervention is to reduce the negative and fatal effects of the pandemic. The pandemic and the restrictions that follows it is assumed to affect the mental health of the general population. In this research project we want to examine the use and the effects of a digital self-guided psychological intervention with the aim to increase coping and to reduce psychological problems during and after the pandemic. The participants will be randomized to either an intensive group (new module every 3rd day) or to an ordinary group (new module every 5th day).
