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.
The purpose of this trial is to find out if epcoritamab, also known as EPKINLY™ and GEN3013, is safe and works well as treatment for patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) that are not responding to treatment, have grown in size, or have come back following treatment with at least 1 prior systemic cancer therapy. All participants in this trial will be randomly assigned to receive either epcoritamab or a pre-specified investigator's choice (standard of care) chemotherapy (either rituximab + gemcitabine + oxaliplatin [R-GemOx], or bendamustine + rituximab [BR]). Participants must have failed or be ineligible to receive an autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT). Epcoritamab will be injected under the skin. Investigator's choice chemotherapy will be given intravenously. Trial details include: - The trial duration will be up to 5 years. - All trial participants have a 21-day screening period, a treatment period, and a follow-up period that continues until death. - The estimated trial duration for an individual subject depends upon the treatment arm assigned: - Participants who receive epcoritamab will have 28-day treatment cycles. Epcoritamab will be given once weekly for the first 3 months, then every other week for 6 months, then every 28 days until lymphoma progression or unacceptable adverse events. - Participants who receive investigator's choice (standard of care) chemotherapy will receive treatments either: - R-GemOx: On Day 1 (or Day 1 & Day 2), and Day 15 (or Day 15 & Day 16) every 28 days, for up to 4 months; or - BR: On Day 1 and Day 2 every 3 weeks for up to 4.5 months.
Sleep is a fundamental human need with large impact on both psychological and somatic functioning. However, for patients with mental disorders, sleep is often disturbed. Across all diagnostic groups, sleep disturbance is one of the most common and disruptive symptoms. For decades it has been assumed that the sleep disturbance these patients experience was a secondary symptom of a primary mental disorder, but recently this has changed. Experimental and clinical data now suggest that there is a reciprocal relationship between sleep disturbance and mental disorders where they perpetuate and aggravate each other. This makes sleep disturbance a potential therapeutic target in the treatment of mental disorders. Evidence emerging the last decade indicate that providing Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) to patients with mental disorders not only improves sleep, but also has clinically meaningful effects on their primary mental disorder. However, a major problem has been disseminating CBT-I and few therapists are trained in this intervention. Consequently, most patients receive sleep medication although evidence clearly indicate that CBT-I is more effective and should be the treatment of choice. In this study, the investigators will use a fully automated digital version of CBT-I that might be used to treat a large number of patients while they are still on the waiting list to receive ordinary outpatient treatment in secondary mental health care clinics in Norway. The main goal is to test the effectiveness of digital CBT-I for this patient group.
Weight-bearing radiographs will be used to evaluate the stability of suprasyndesmotic ankle fractures. Patients with stable fractures will be randomised to operative or non-operative treatment.
Inhibitors of tumour necrosis factor (TNFa) reduce inflammation in patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), but only 20-40 percent achieve a state of no or very little disease activity. Tailored glucocorticoid joint injections are widely used (usually in general anaesthesia), but no controlled studies have addressed the effect of this approach. In Norway there are unique possibilities for early interventions, rapid escalation of medication and individualised therapy. The investigators aim to find the optimal ways to increase disease control and improve quality of life for JIA patients. The hypothesis is that JIA patients starting TNF-inhibitors with added steroid injection of inflamed joints, will lead to improved outcomes compared to TNF-inhibitors with no joint injections, and that therapeutic drug monitoring, modern imaging and biologic and clinical profiling can be utilised to characterise JIA patients with different anti-TNF responses. MyJIA is a national investigator initiated 48 weeks RCT of JIA patients starting TNF-inhibitors; 202 JIA patients will be randomised at baseline to A) concomitant intra-articular glucocorticoid injections versus B) no injections. Primary endpoint is the rate of sustained remission from weeks 24 to 36. Possible risk factors for not reaching remission will be analysed including clinical characteristics, drug antibodies/serum concentrations, patients' reported health status and preferences, molecular signalling (based on transcriptional, cellular and genetic risk) and synovitis detected by modern imaging (ultrasound and whole-body MRI). Patients will be recruited from all Norwegian health regions through an established collaboration. Unit of Paediatric Rheumatology, Oslo University Hospital, with an extensive research track in this field, will be the coordinating centre. Broad research cooperation across disciplines is established. The trial is highly innovative in evaluating treatment options and strategies to individualise and optimise the efficacy and safety of JIA treatment.
The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy of continuous ibrutinib monotherapy with fixed-duration venetoclax plus obinutuzumab and fixed-duration ibrutinib plus venetoclax by measuring progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with previously untreated CLL.
Insomnia is common with co-morbid somatic disease, e.g. rheumatic disease, cancer, heart and lung disease or gastrointestinal disorders. Pain, breathing difficulties and other symptoms of disease can worsen sleep problems and cause insomnia. In turn, insomnia may aggravate pain, fatigue and reduce quality of life in patients with somatic disorders. This project aims to evaluate a course offered to patients with insomnia and somatic disease at Diakonhjemmet Hospital. The course is based on cognitive behavioral therapy, a documented treatment for insomnia.
Study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of investigational drug obeticholic acid (OCA) in combination with the investigational drug bezafibrate (BZF) in participants with Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC).
The first part will be a comparative cross-sectional study to identify the frequency of ILO and other comorbidites among participants with asthma compared to a group of reference subjects without asthma, matched for age- and gender and race. The second part will be a longitudinally observational study study following participants for one year after the cross-sectional study. The Maat-scores ILO-symptoms and asthma-outcomes longitudinally will be evaluated, .
The aim of this study is to investigate whether the combination of high intensity exercise and time restricted eating before and during pregnancy can reduce the risk of hyperglycaemia during pregnancy.
This is a Phase 2, open-label, multi-centre study of surufatinib in patients with low to intermediate grade (Grade 1 or Grade 2), well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumours (NETs).
