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.
Participants with lymphedema secondary to cancer treatment will participate in a two week rehabilitation programme focusing on physical therapy treatment and a two week programme focusing on physical exercise. The purpose is to assess the effect of the rehabilitation programmes on lymphedema and measures of physical performance.
Musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions are a leading cause of years lived with disability worldwide and for the last decade they have also been the most common cause of sickness absence and disability pension in Norway. Although most sickness absence is short-termed, a small proportion of people with MSK conditions are on long-term sick leave, contributing to large cost due to disbursement of benefits, productivity loss and extensive use of health care. There is growing evidence that long-term sickness absence is harmful to mental and physical health, with a reduced probability of return to work (RtW) with prolonged sickness absence. Thus, focusing on early RtW in people on sick leave due to MSK conditions is important to reduce the burden on both the individual and the society. However, to provide interventions to reduce the duration of sickness absence to all people on sick leave would require enormous resources. By targeting those at risk of long-term sickness absence, resources may be used differently, e.g. more resource-saving. By using information on modifiable risk factors from simple risk assessment tools, health care providers and other stakeholders may facilitate RtW in a better way. The overall purposes of this project are 1) to identify the most accurate screening tool to identify people at a high risk of prolonged sickness absence due to a MSK condition, and 2) to investigate severity of MSK health, health-related quality-of-life, health care consumption, and costs across different risk profiles in people on sick leave due to MSK conditions. We will use registered data on sickness absence from 1 year before to 1 year after inclusion in the study.
The investigators will assess the feasibility of activity monitoring armbands for continuous measurement of physical activity level in ME/CFS patients, during 6 months follow-up. The main purpose is to assess if continuous measurement of activity level may be incorporated in outcome measures in future clinical interventional trials.
The primary objective of this study is to compare belzutifan to everolimus with respect to progression-free survival (PFS) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) as assessed by Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR) and to compare everolimus with respect to overall survival (OS). The hypothesis is that belzutifan is superior to everolimus with respect to PFS and OS.
This is a study for adults (18-75 years) who have successfully completed treatment either with Dupilumab or with Upadacitinib in the study M16-046. At the end of M16-046, they have the option to receive Upadacitinib with a duration of 52 weeks beyond the timeframe of Study M16-046. There will be a 30 day follow-up visit after the treatment period is completed. Main objective of this study is to assess long-term safety, tolerability and efficacy of upadacitinib in participants with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis who successfully completed treatment in the study M16-046.
Physiotherapy-led exercises is the first line treatment for patients with subacromial pain. However, current evidence report that most treatment programmes only show a short-term benefit. There seem to be a potential for enhancing the effectiveness of exercise interventions by improving adherence to self-managed exercises, but there is lack of knowledge about adherence to exercise programmes in shoulder pain. Before conducting a planned randomised controlled trial on the clinical effectiveness of an intervention focusing on adherence to a self-managed exercise strategy (the Ad-Shoulder intervention), it is necessary to run a feasibility study in order to establish whether such a resource-demanding trial is worthwhile. Feasibility studies are designed to answer the key question "Can it work?" The main objectives of the present study was to assess the feasibility in terms of recruitment capability, data collection procedures and acceptability of the Ad-Shoulder intervention in patients with subacromial pain receiving treatment in primary or secondary health care.
Transplant recipients are treated with immunosuppressive drugs to avoid rejection of the transplanted organ. As the medication impairs the immune response, it also increases the risk of serious infections and cancer in transplant recipients compared with the general population. Previous studies have shown a close association between Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and post transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD), with frequent demonstration of the virus in lesional tissues. Transplant recipients without evidence of EBV infection prior to transplantation (EBV seronegative) are at particularly high risk of developing PTLD. Other risk factors include a high viral load. As part of a preventive approach against PTLD, several transplantation units now monitor the occurrence of EBV DNAemia after transplantation. However, there is little evidence to guide this strategy; nor is there consensus concerning either the best specimen to use for EBV analysis (whole blood or plasma) or the appropriate clinical action to take if EBV DNAemia is detected. Our aim is to estimate the incidence and clinical consequences of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) DNAemia in whole blood and plasma in renal transplant recipients, and to determine if persistence of EBV DNAemia can predict excessive immunosuppression as indicated by the incidence of infections requiring hospitalisation, EBV driven PTLD and mortality.
The study objective consists of the following three aims: 1. To compare the effect of daily intake of Jarlsberg cheese and Camembert cheese in change of the Osteocalcin level in healthy women after 6 weeks. 2. To estimate the long-term increase of the osteocalcin level, change in the lipid pattern and the vital signs caused by optimized daily intake of Jarlsberg cheese. 3. To verify the estimated maintaining dose of Jarlsberg cheese related to stabilized osteocalcin Level. The study population consists of Healthy Voluntary (HV) women between 20 years and pre-menopausal age. The trial will be performed as a randomized Norwegian multicenter study with a semi-cross over design in which the participants randomized to Camembert cheese will be switched to Jarlsberg cheese after 6 weeks.
The study objective is to estimate a maintaining daily dose of Jarlsberg cheese in healthy pre-menopausal women obtaining an increase in the osteocalcin level of at least 10% after 6 weeks on maximum efficacy dose (MED) of Jarlsberg cheese. 1.4: Population and sampling The study population consists of Healthy Voluntary (HV) women between 20 years and pre-menopausal age. The study will be performed as a one-dimensional, within-patient, 3-level Response Surface Pathway (RSP) designed trial with individually adjustment of the dose. Each design period will be 3 weeks. Only HVs obtaining an increase in the osteocalcin level ≥ 10% from baseline after 6 weeks on the MED of 57g Jarlsberg cheese daily will be offered to participate in this de-escalation study.
The aim is to estimate an oral administered recommended dose of BP-C2 in addition to hormone treatment of prostate cancer. The study population consists of prostatic cancer patients between 18 and 80 years of age undergoing hormonal treatment. Four patients will be recruited consecutively from each of two participating hospital. The study will be performed as an open, one-dimensional multi-center trial with a 3-level within-patient Response Surface Pathway (RSP) design.
