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 study is to compare the efficacy and safety/tolerability of indacaterol and glycopyrronium (QVA149) (fixed-dose combination) with fluticasone/salmeterol over a 26-week period in patients with moderate to severe COPD.
The investigators will perform a cluster randomised controlled study of Brief intervention (BI) for medication-overuse headache (MOH) versus business as usual. GPs will be trained to perform a structured brief intervention after identifying patients with probable MOH using the severity of dependence scale. The control arm will include patients of GPs who have not been trained in BI. Patients will be recruited by prior short postal screening of patients listed on the GPs patient lists. The hypothesis is that BI will lead to improvement of medication-overuse and chronic headache as compared to no BI. Main outcomes are: - number of medication days per month - number of headache days per month - headache index
This is a phase III multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of GSK573719/GW642444 Inhalation Powder, GSK573719 Inhalation Powder, GW642444 Inhalation Powder and Placebo when administered once-daily via a Novel Dry Powder Inhaler over a 24-week treatment period in subjects with COPD. Subjects who meet eligibility criteria at Screening (Visit 1) will complete a 7 to14 day run-in period followed by a randomization visit (Visit 2) then a 24-week treatment period. There will be a total of 9 clinic study visits. A follow-up phone contact for adverse event assessment will be conducted approximately one week after the last study visit (Visit 9 or Early Withdrawal). The total duration of subject participation in the study will be approximately 27 weeks. A subset of subjects at selected sites will also perform 24-hour serial spirometry and Holter monitoring during the study and provide serial blood samples for pharmacokinetic analysis. Sparse pharmacokinetic sampling for population pharmacokinetic analyses will be obtained from non-subset subjects. The primary measure of efficacy is clinic visit trough (pre-bronchodilator and pre-dose) FEV1 on Treatment Day 169. Safety will be assessed by adverse events, 12-lead ECGs, vital signs, clinical laboratory tests, and 24 hour Holter monitoring (subset only).
The study aims to assess the effect on functional balance of Otago exercise performed as home exercise versus group exercise. The investigators hypothesize that Otago exercise is more effective performed as group exercise than home exercise.
It has been reported that obese individuals are seated 2 ½ hour more than lean individuals and that non exercise thermo genesis (NEAT) may vary with as much as 2000 Kcal/day between equal size people due to different occupational and leisure time activities. The primary aim of the study is to investigate if 10 weeks of exercise training increase NEAT in sedentary men. Subject will be randomized to three different training intervention, with 3 exercise session each week for 10 weeks. NEAT will be measured using an activity sensor and recorded over a 7 day period both before and after training.
Randomised, double-blind placebo controlled cross-over trial Main goal: Optimize the medical pain treatment for patients with advanced cancer disease Study goal: Measure paracetamol's additional analgesic effect in a situation where the patient is concomitantly treated with oral opioids eqv. morphine > 100 mg/d.
The primary objective was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the treatment with BAY81-8973 for prophylaxis and treatment of breakthrough bleeds in children with severe hemophilia A. The secondary objectives were - To assess the safety and efficacy of BAY81-8973 during surgeries. - To assess incremental recovery of BAY81-8973. - To assess pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters in a subset of children (Previously treated patients [PTPs] and previously untreated patients [PUPs] / minimally treated patients [MTPs] - participation in PK sampling was voluntary and required consent).
Patients with uveal malignant melanoma with liver metastases have median survival of less than 12 months. There is no established treatment showing increased overall survival. The study will determine if liver transplantation will result in long term survival in patients with liver metastases from uveal malignant melanoma.
In Oslo University Hospital, department of complex epilepsy, offer ketogenic diet to treat children with medically intractable epilepsy. From 2009 we added modified Atkins diet as a treatment option for children up to 18 years. We now initiate an open, prospective, randomized and controlled study with the aim to test the efficacy of treatment with modified Atkins diet in adults with focal and generalized epilepsy diagnoses, in order to evaluate whether this treatment should be offered to patients on a permanent basis.
The purpose of this study is to study the acute psychological effects in patients with schizophrenia after one session of high intensity exercise.
