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 transradial route is used in 90% of the coronary angiograms performed at Oslo University Hospital (OUS), Ullevål. A compression device needs to be applied after the procedure to achieve hemostasis. Patients and staff will benefit from using a device that yields safe and painless hemostasis. Patients will be randomly assigned to receive either the standard compression device (control group, A) or a recently developed compression device (experimental group, B). The study will be designed as a non-inferiority, prospective randomized controlled trial, with outcome measures being patient comfort during compression time and complication rates. Complications that will be measured are radial artery occlusion (RAO) measured using ultrasound at a follow up visit. Hematomas or bleeds from the puncture site after application of the compression device will also be classified as complications. The aim of the study is to investigate whether the new device, RY-STOP is non-inferior compared to the standard device, when considering the outcome measures.
This study is a single-arm, phase IV trial, of apixaban as treatment of venous thrombosis in patients with cancer. The current standard treatment of venous thrombosis in cancer patients is subcutaneous injections with low molecular weight heparin. During the last 5 years several new direct acting oral anticoagulants have been tested out as treatment of venous thrombosis. But very few cancer patients were included in the phase III clinical trials of the direct acting oral anticoagulants. Thus, there is a lack of information on how cancer patients with venous thrombosis will respond to treatment with direct acting oral anticoagulants. The current study will investigate the direct acting oral anticoagulant apixaban in cancer patients with venous thrombosis.
The study will investigate the efficacy, safety, tolerability and Pharmacokinetic(PK) of 3 doses of empagliflozin compared with placebo over 26 weeks in 960 patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus as adjunctive therapy to insulin
A Phase 3 global study comparing avelumab alone to avelumab plus PLD and to PLD alone to demonstrate that avelumab given alone or in combination with PLD is superior to PLD alone in prolonging Overall Survival in patients with platinum resistant/platinum refractory ovarian cancer.
The present study examine the effects of an aerobic and strength training program on cardiorespiratory fitness in testicular cancer (TC) patients during chemotherapy. Half of the participants will receive the exercise program and the other half will receive one individual lifestyle counseling session. The investigators hypothesize that TC patients in the exercise group will have less reduction in cardiorespiratory fitness during chemotherapy treatment compared to patients in the control group.
It has been reported that therapy with polymer-based dental filling materials was associated with higher concentrations of bisphenol A in saliva and urine directly after the treatment. The objective of the present project is to gain knowledge about the concentration of bisphenol A in saliva and urine before and after treatment with polymer-based dental filling materials, using sensitive analytical methods.
This study evaluates induction therapy with carfilzomib-cyclophosphamide-dexamethasone before salvage high-dose melphalan with autologous stem cell support (HDT) in multiple myeloma patients with relapse after HDT done at diagnosis. In addition, the study evaluates the effect of maintenance therapy after salvage HDT in multiple myeloma. After salvage HDT half of the patients receive maintenance therapy with carfilzomib/dexamethasone while the other half are observed without maintenance therapy.
Resistant hypertension (RH) affects some 10% to 15% of all patients with hypertension. These patients are at a clearly increased risk for end organ damage and mortality. Furthermore, arterial hypertension is a multifactorial disease including genetic, lifestyle, dietary, metabolic, and sympathetic factors. However, the current treatment modalities have not been optimal in targeting the compensatory changes in sympathetic nervous system function and new strategies have been warranted. Baroreflex activation therapy (BAT) is a special treatment option for some patients with RH that modulates the autonomic nervous system to restore sympathovagal balance. Notably, in BAT both long-term safety and efficacy in a large-scale, randomized, double blind, controlled trial has been shown. However, the trial design and BAT methodology resulted in that the first generation Rheos® system did not achieve the prespecified endpoints for short-term safety and efficacy. Notably, a second-generation minimally invasive BAT system (Barostim Neo®) has now been developed to address these limitations although randomized, double blind, controlled clinical trials are still lacking. Noteworthy, in the recent European Society of Hypertension/European Society of Cardiology (ESH/ESC) Guidelines for the management of arterial hypertension, carotid baroreceptor stimulation is mentioned as one of the options to treat resistant hypertension. Based on these data the aim of this randomized, double-blind, parallel-design clinical trial is to examine the effect of BAT compared to continuous pharmacotherapy on blood pressure, as well as arterial and cardiac function and structure using non-invasive high technology methodology, in a Nordic multicentre study. This study will include 100 patients with RH (20 from Helsinki). Eligible patients are between 18 and 70 years and have a daytime systolic ambulatory blood pressure 145 mmHg or more, and/or a daytime diastolic ambulatory blood pressure of 95 mmHg or more, after witnessed intake of antihypertensive treatment (including at least 3 antihypertensive drugs preferably including a diuretic), with no changes in medication for a minimum of 4 weeks prior to enrolment. Patients with severe renal insufficiency, type 1 diabetes, psychiatric illness, severe cardiovascular disease, or any complication that is a risk to the planned surgery are exclusion criteria. The primary end point is to test whether BAT reduces 24-hour systolic ambulatory blood pressure at 8 months of follow-up compared to continuous pharmacotherapy. Secondary end points are to test whether BAT reduces home blood pressure during follow-up compared to continuous pharmacotherapy, whether BAT reduces office blood pressure during follow-up compared to continuous pharmacotherapy, and the effect of BAT on autonomic function measured as eg. baroreflex sensitivity and heart rate variability.
The aim of the study is to compare the effects of prebiotics versus placebo on blood concentrations of glucagon-like peptide-1 in subjects with diabetes type 2.
The purpose of this study is to provide oral panobinostat (PAN) treatment to relapsed or relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma patients who are without satisfactory treatment alternatives prior to the commercial availability* and reimbursement of panobinostat during the regulatory approval process. This protocol will acquire additional safety data on the use of panobinostat in combination with bortezomib (BTZ) and dexamethasone (Dex) in patients with relapsed or relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma. In this protocol, PAN must be administered in the defined regimen in combination with both BTZ and DEX. *(Note: throughout this protocol "commercially available" means local health authority approval and a functional method for reimbursement)
