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 an open-label, continuous daily dosing, two-part safety and efficacy study of SKI-606 (bosutinib) in Philadelphia chromosome positive leukemias (Ph+). Part 1 is a dose-escalation study in chronic phase Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML) subjects to establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) in this subject population. Part 2 has begun after the completion of Part 1 and after a dose has been established for the compound in chronic phase subjects. Part 2 is a study of the the efficacy of 500mg daily oral SKI-606 (bosutinib) in patients with all phases of Ph+ CML and Ph+ Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL). The protocol will test the hypotheses that oral daily dosing of bosutinib at 500 mg will attain (1) Major Cytogenetic Response (MCyR) in chronic phase CML patients and (2) Overall Hematological Response (OHR) in advanced leukemia patients. Each phase of the disease will be evaluated as a separate cohort.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness and safety of sustained- release hydromorphone, formulated to release slowly over time, taken once daily, and controlled- release oxycodone taken twice daily, in patients with chronic non-cancer pain. The study will also determine the dose of sustained-release hydromorphone that provides a level of pain control that is equal to the pain control provided by control-released oxycodone (equi-analgesic dosage).
The purpose of this study is to identify candidate markers predictive of response and/or serious toxicity to BMS-734016 (MDX-010).
This is a 24-week study to determine the lipid metabolic effects, safety, and tolerability of tesaglitazar compared with metformin and metformin in combination with fenofibrate in patients with type 2 diabetes and low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). Improvement in dyslipidemia will be evaluated. The study comprises a 2-week enrollment period, 6-week run-in and a 24-week randomized, double blind, parallel group, multi-center, active controlled (metformin with or without fenofibrate) treatment period and a 3-week follow-up. From visit 2 (run-in), all patients will receive a standardized dose of statin (rosuvastatin)
Adults who are taking opioid therapy for persistent non-cancer pain and have resulting opioid-induced bowel dysfunction (OBD) will be randomized (1:1:1) to one of 2 alvimopan arms, or to placebo. The primary objective of this phase 3 confirmatory study is to compare alvimopan with placebo for efficacy in the treatment of OBD. The primary efficacy endpoint is based on frequency of bowel movements. Subjects will be required to: (1) track their bowel movements and other bowel symptoms and (2) attend 6 clinic visits over 4 months.
To assess if Symbicort forte Turbuhaler (during two weeks) is as effective as an oral course of prednisolone + Oxis Turbuhaler (during two weeks) for the treatment of an acute exacerbation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).
- A commercial 3-dimentional magnetic imaging system (Olympus ScopeGuide) is available for routine use during colonoscopy. - No randomised trials have been performed to evaluate if, and to what extent, the use of this technology may improve the coecal intubation rate and reduce the patient's experience of discomfort and pain by making the insertion of the endoscope easier
Controversies still exists concerning the overall clinical effects of blood-based vs. crystalloid- based cardioplegic solution for myocardial protection during cardiac arrest. Both techniques are used world-wide. No larger prospectively randomized studies comparing the two methods have been reported. The aim of this study is to collect a large number of clinical data to create a proper basis for evaluation of the two techniques.
The purpose of this study is to study gastritis, GI symptoms during long term omeprazole treatment
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of anastrozole monotherapy versus maximal oestrogen blockade with combinated therapy of fulvestrant and anastrozole compared with in treatment of hormone receptor positive women with first relapse of breast cancer.
