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 is a randomized, single-blind study using oxytocin 5U i.v. during surgical abortion in one arm of the study, and no medication in the other arm of the study. Comparison is done between the two groups measuring the following outcomes: pain, nausea and blood loss. The investigators' hypothesis is that there will be no significant differences between the two groups.
There is today a growing need for culturally adapted initiatives among immigrants to prevent and treat T2D. Others have failed to increase the level of physical activity in this sedate group. The investigators believe this is due to missing assistance and lack of influence from the Pakistani milieu. To improve this, a culturally adapted physical activity will be established in this project in close cooperation with the Pakistanis themselves. Through this program it is the investigators' goal to increase their physical activity level and prevent lifestyle diseases among Pakistanis in Oslo with a high risk of developing these diseases.

This trial is conducted in Europe, Africa and the United States of America (USA). The aim of this trial is to compare the safety and efficacy of two different insulin treatments, the "basic" and the "advanced" treatment in type 2 diabetes.
This was a parallel group, randomized, double blind, placebo controlled, multicentre study designed to assess whether vandetanib (ZD6474) conferred an improvement in PFS as compared to placebo in participants with locally advanced or metastatic papillary or follicular thyroid carcinoma failing or unsuitable for radioiodine therapy. The trial was of a sufficient size so that if vandetanib (ZD6474) was truly active there was a high probability that it would demonstrate an effect sufficiently promising to warrant a follow-up assessment. - Participants were seen weekly for the first 2 weeks, then again at Week 4, Week 8, and Week 12 after randomization, and every 12 weeks thereafter. Upon disease progression, all participants (both active and placebo) were unblinded and given the option to discontinue blinded study treatment and enter follow up and survival, or begin open label vandetanib (ZD6474) 300 mg treatment. All participants were followed to collect survival data until greater than or equal to (>=) 50% of participants had died. Participants who were taking vandetanib (ZD6474) at the time of study closure and wished to remain on therapy were allowed to continue for as long as the Investigator felt that they were obtaining clinical benefit, or until they were given another anti-cancer therapy. The safety data from all participants was assessed on an ongoing basis, including discontinuation and follow up. - Radiologic evaluation using RECIST criteria was performed every 12 weeks (+/- 2 weeks). All medical images were centralized assessed at the site and centrally reviewed. Participants were evaluated until progression, and then followed up for survival, regardless of whether they continued randomized treatment, unless they withdrew consent. Post progression open-label vandetanib (ZD6474) were offered at the investigators discretion. - All participants submitted a suitable archived tumor sample prior to randomization. In the event that a suitable archived sample was not available within 2 weeks prior to randomization, a fresh tumor sample was obtained in its place prior to randomization. If a participant underwent the fresh tumor biopsy procedure, this specimen would satisfy the first optional tumor biopsy submission should they consented to the exploratory part of the study.
The purpose of this study is to determine an optimal abatacept dosing regimen for the treatment of active arthritis due to psoriatic arthritis in patients who have had a prior inadequate response to disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs, including methotrexate and tumor necrosis factor alpha-blockade compounds.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety of soluble beta-glucan (SBG) in combination with antibody and chemotherapy treatment in patients with non-Hodgkin-s lymphoma.
This study is set up to determine whether soluble beta-glucan (SBG) has - unfavourable side effects - beneficial treatment effects when given in combination with standard antibody and chemotherapy to patients with breast cancer.
The purpose of the study is to determine the reduction of LDL-cholesterol level after treatment with 50 mg per day of lapaquistat acetate once daily (QD).
