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.
To evaluate the effect on gait and activity of a home based physiotherapy intervention 4-6 months after the fracture. The investigators hypothesis is that exercises performed after the initial rehabilitation, which focuses on specific components of gait control will improve gait and increase level of activity.
The first aim of this trial is to assess the long-term prognostic value of Omega-3 index, which is a measure of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) relative to other fatty acids in the erythrocyte membrane, in an unselected, regional multicenter observational study of 982 chest pain patients admitted to the emergency unit, employing blood samples collected at admission. The second purpose of this study is to evaluate the prognostic utility of vitamin D in the same population. The third purpose of this study is to assess the incremental prognostic value of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP).
The CAP study is a multicenter, observational, clinical study in patients with systemic sclerosis. The study aims at determining the usefulness of nailfold videocapillaroscopy and patient-specific disease-related factors in predicting the occurrence of digital ulcers within a 6-month observation period. Patients with cutaneous forms of systemic sclerosis (limited or diffuse), with or without history of digital ulceration are eligible. The study will enroll 500 patients at 70 centers.
This is an observational study designed to collect follow-up clinical date on subjects who were treated with tofacitinib in 2 completed Phase 2 studies who either discontinued treatment prematurely or did not elect to enroll in long-term extension studies.
This will be a randomized, open-label, multicenter, phase II study. The study population will consist of participants with first-line metastatic colorectal cancer.
Objectives of the phase 2 prospective, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study is to assess safety and efficacy of TRO40303 administered just before balloon inflation during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for limitation of infarct size in patients treated for acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The study is being conducted in 9 centres in Sweden, Denmark, Norway and France. One hundred eighty patients will be included. It will last one month per patient and its overall duration will be 11 months. The efficacy will be assessed by infarct size expressed as area under the curve for creatine kinase and troponin I (blood sampling at D1, D2 and D3), and also evaluated by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance. Safety will be assessed by - clinic evaluation, - blood samples (hematology, biochemistry, renal and hepatic function), - Recording and follow-up of major adverse events occurring during the first 48h after reperfusion (death, heart failure, AMI, stroke, recurrent ischemia, the need for repeat revascularization, renal or hepatic, vascular complication and bleeding). - ECG - Recording cardiac events during one month after AMI - Follow-up of global left ventricular function by Echocardiography at D3 and D30. Demographic and medical history at inclusion and non-cardiac events occurring during the first 30 days will be recorded. TRO40303 plasma concentration will be assessed at 15 min, 6h, and 12h post the end of administration. Sample size calculation assuming a reduction of 35% of the AUC for Troponin I release, for a statistical power of 85% and a probability of type I error of 0.05. Main analysis: between-group comparisons of AUCs for serum troponin I and CK release will be performed using O'Brien's method for multiple endpoints testing. Secondary analysis: comparisons of the CMR criteria described above will be performed using mixed model of ANCOVA. All analyses will be performed on the Full Analysis Set and Per protocol populations. Safety analysis: A comparison of the incidence of cumulative adverse clinical events between the groups will be performed by Fisher's exact tests. Subjects will undergo primary PCI and receive concomitant medications according to current standard of care. After coronary angiography is performed but just before balloon inflation is performed, patients who meet the enrollment criteria will be randomly assigned to either the control group or the TRO40303 group. Randomization is ensured by taking the treatment units in ascending and consecutive order in each strata (anterior/posterior as determined on ECG). Just before balloon inflation, ideally less than 5 minutes, and with a maximum of 15 minutes before balloon inflation and stenting, the patients in the TRO40303 group will receive an intravenous slow-bolus (35 mL/min) injection of 6 mg/kg of TRO40303 injected in peripheral IV. The patients in the control group will receive an equivalent volume of the placebo. Patients will be hospitalized for as long as there is a medical indication. CMR and echocardiography will accordingly be conducted as in/out patient between day 3 (ideally) and 5. A follow-up visit will be conducted one month after PCI.
The main object to this trial is to study the function of referral letters as a mean to coordinate the care process for adult people when referred from Primary Care to Specialised Mental Health Care. The study will explore if and to what degree the quality of these referral letters can be improved, and the potential improvement's impact on defined patient-, professional and organisational related outcomes. According to Medical Research Council guidelines for evaluating complex interventions, a stepwise design with the use of both qualitative and quantitative methods will be used to conduct a controlled intervention study.
The purpose of this study is to compare the performance of a new prototype colonoscope with a standard colonoscope used world-wide today. The prototype colonoscope is more flaccid with a smaller diameter than the standard colonoscope. The hypothesis to be tested is that the prototype will improve negotiation of sharp bends and inflict less discomfort or pain to the patient. Both colonoscopes are manufactured by the same company.
This trial will evaluate safety and efficacy of BI 10773 in hypertensive patients with type 2 diabetes. Since hyperglycaemia and hypertension are key risk factors for both micro- and macrovascular complications, assessment of both glucose and blood pressure lowering effects of BI 10773 in hypertensive patients with type 2 diabetes could provide clinically highly relevant, new information for the use of BI 10773
Patients with relapse of acute leukemia often only receive supportive therapy. Our hypothesis is that a combination therapy can stabilize the disease for patients with early relapse after allogeneic stem cell transplantation. The investigators will combine 5-azacitidine 100 mg daily subcutaneously (days 1-3), valproic acid (continuous therapy from day 1), All-trans retinoic acid (days 1-14) and hydroxurea (continuous treatment from day 15 of first cycle. Azacitidine and ATRA can be repeated with 5 weeks intervals, donor leukocyte infusions on day 10 is allowed from the second cycle.
