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 study evaluates the effect of vitamin D supplementation on outcomes of 10 weeks progressive strength training in 100 ageing subjects (>45 years of age). Participants will be recruited into two similarly sized strata; one containing COPD patients and one containing healthy subjects of similar age. In each stratum, half the participants will receive vitamin D supplementation and half the participants will receive placebo
Myelofibrosis patients with high molecular risk mutations have an intrinsically aggressive disease with increased risk of leukemic transformation and reduced overall survival. As there are no therapies currently established in the subset of high molecular risk patients with early myelofibrosis, the study aimed to evaluate ruxolitinib in this patient population.
Systemic Sclerosis (SSc) is a devastating disease of unknown etiology. Patients suffer from multiple organ fibrosis whereas lung fibrosis (interstitial lung disease, ILD) is one of the main driver for mortality. There is preclinical evidence for efficacy of nintedanib in SSc and associated ILD (SSc-ILD) and the anti-fibrotic efficacy of nintedanib was proven in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis patients, who are presenting a similar pattern regarding lung fibrosis. Hence it is the purpose of the trial to confirm the efficacy and safety of nintedanib 150 mg bid in treating patients with SSc-ILD, compared with placebo. The trial will be conducted as a double blind, randomised, placebo-controlled trial with primary efficacy evaluation at week 52 and placebo-controlled treatment until last patient out (up to a maximum of 100 weeks). Respiratory function is globally accepted for assessment of treatment effects in patients with lung fibrosis. The chosen endpoint (Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) decline) is easy to obtain and is part of the usual examinations done in patients with SSc-ILD.
The aim of this non-interventional study is to describe patient's perception of anticoagulant treatment when using Pradaxa® to prevent stroke and systemic embolism while suffering from atrial fibrillation (according to its approved indication in the approved dosages of 110 mg or 150 mg twice daily) in comparison to standard care using Vitamin K Antagonist (VKA).
The purpose of this study is to determine whether omega-3 fatty acids are effective in the prevention of psychosis in individuals at ultra-high risk for psychosis.
The purpose of study is to test the effects of an experimental medication GED-0301 (mongersen) in patients who have active Crohn's disease. The study will test GED-0301 compared to placebo for 52 weeks. The study treatment is blinded which means that patients and the study doctor will not know which treatment has been assigned. Patients in this study will be allowed treatment with stable doses of oral aminosalicylates, oral corticosteroids, immunosupressants and antibiotics for the treatment of Crohn's disease. After 12 weeks in the study until the end of the study, patients who do not have an improvement in their Crohns disease symptoms will have the option to enter a long term active treatment study. Participants who discontinued the study anytime or completed the study at Week 52 were then observed for an additional 4 weeks.
The clinical characteristics, initial presentation, management, and outcomes of patients hospitalized with new-onset (first diagnosis) heart failure (HF) or decompensation of chronic HF are poorly understood worldwide. REPORT-HF is a global, prospective, and observational HF disease registry designed to characterize patient trajectories longitudinally during and following an index hospitalization for acute HF.
Diabetes mellitus type 1 (DM1) is an autoimmune metabolic disease in which the insulin producing cells in the pancreas are destroyed and the subject is left totally dependent of external supply of insulin. There is no known cure for DM1 except for in very specific situations. Thus, management of DM1 concentrates on keeping blood glucose levels as close to normal levels. As an aid to subjects with DM1 for managing their blood glucose levels as close to normal as possible, blood glucose monitoring systems have been developed. Available blood glucose monitoring systems today require a capillary blood sample that is analysed by a glucose meter. Subjects are normally advised by health care professionals on the appropriate blood glucose monitoring regime for their condition. However, many subjects fail to measure blood glucose as often as needed to achieve good blood glucose control despite every effort from health care professionals. Research and development of non-invasive interstitial blood glucose monitoring methods is ongoing. All attempts to develop a non-invasive continuous glucose measuring device have so far failed. Prediktor Medical AS has developed a non-invasive sensor, GlucoPred, based on the combination of several non-invasive measurement principles and multivariate analysis and dynamic models of glucose/insulin interaction. The device will be body mounted in the form of a bracelet or a watch communicating with a mobile phone or a tablet for data presentation and collection. Development of GlucoPred is now at a stage where testing of the sensor in subjects under controlled settings is required before further development can take place. If successful, this will be a major step ahead for all patients with diabetes and markedly increase their possibility to take care of their disease on a day to day basis without the burden of frequent blood sampling or wearing an invasive device.
This trial compares the haemostatic effect of viscoelastic haemostatic assay (VHA)-guided transfusion strategy versus non-VHA guided transfusion strategy in haemorrhaging trauma patients. Half of the randomised patients will receive VHA-led management of bleeding, whilst the other half will receive massive transfusion protocol resuscitation using conventional coagulation tests.
Prospective, single arm, multi-center, observational, post market study to document the clinical and device performance outcomes of the Evolut R system used in routine hospital practice in a large patient cohort for the treatment of symptomatic native aortic valve stenosis or a stenosed, insufficient, or combined surgical bioprosthetic valve failure necessitating valve replacement.
