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 evaluate the efficacy and safety of apalutamide in adult men with high-risk non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.
This is a prospective study of patients receiving radiotherapy or chemoradiotherapy for anal cancer. Treatment effect in terms of survival and local recurrence will be analyzed. The utility of PET-CT and MRI for radiotherapy and for prediction of treatment effect will be investigated. Molecular and genetic markers in tumor and blood will be analyzed for prognostic and predictive effects. Patient-reported outcomes, such as faecal incontinence, sexual dysfunction and quality of life will be assessed. A structured intervention program for management of late effects will be evaluated. Symptom relief of palliative radiotherapy will be investigated. The main purpose of the study is to increase the knowledge of anal cancer treatment, improve treatment results, and improve anal cancer survivor care.
Long-term sick-listing from work has considerable impact on social function, on the families of the sick-listed persons, the companies they work for, and society as a whole. Hence, the need for documented effective vocational rehabilitation programs is pressing. Vocational rehabilitation services described in the scientific literature have been specific to one single or a specific group of medical conditions (e.g.low back pain). In contrast, most people on sick leave have several health complaints, and many of the factors influencing sick leave are shared regardless of disorder (e.g. social surroundings, workplace environment), calling for rehabilitation programs that can be employed for both musculoskeletal-, unspecific- and common mental disorders. Aim of this study is to investigate whether a group based rehabilitation program for musculoskeletal, mental or unspecific complaints can facilitate return-to-work (RTW), thereby testing two multicomponent return-to-work RTW rehabilitation programs.
The main aim of this study is to find out the long-term safety and effectiveness profile of recombinant human parathyroid hormone (1-84) (rhPTH[1-84]) treatment in participants with chronic hypoparathyroidism under conditions of routine clinical practice. Participants will be treated according to their clinic's standard practice determined by the treating doctors. Each participant will fill out a study questionnaire during a routine doctor visit.
The purpose of this study is to compare 3 cycles of neoadjuvant (preoperative) chemotherapy + operation with the standard treatment of locally advanced colon cancer, which is operation + 8 cycles of (adjuvant) chemotherapy. Patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy may not need adjuvant chemotherapy after the operation and, if this is the case, they will be spared of 5 cycles of chemotherapy.
To determine the effects of 12 weeks administration of different dose levels of ALV003 on the mucosal lining of the small intestine and symptoms in celiac disease patients.
This is 2-part, randomized, open label, multi-center, parallel group, phase III study comparing the efficacy and safety of LGX818 plus MEK162 to vemurafenib and LGX818 monotherapy in patients with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic melanoma with BRAF V600 mutation. A total of approximately 900 patients will be randomized. Part 1: Patients will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to one of 3 treatment arms: 1. LGX818 450 mg QD plus MEK162 45 mg BID (denoted as Combo 450 arm) 2. LGX818 300 mg QD monotherapy (denoted as LGX818 arm) or 3. vemurafenib 960 mg BID (denoted as vemurafenib arm) Part 2: Patients will be randomized in a 3:1 ratio to one of the 2 treatment arms: 1. LGX818 300 mg QD plus MEK162 45 mg BID (denoted as Combo 300 arm) or 2. LGX818 300 mg QD monotherapy (denoted as LGX818 arm)
A study to assess the effect of negative pulsating pressure therapy on patients with impaired blood flow to the leg caused by arterial disease, to see if the FlowOx device will increase the blood flow to the leg in these patients.
This research during the last decade has focused on the kinetics of the systemic and local immune response to parenteral influenza vaccine in humans. The investigators have shown that normally high numbers of influenza specific antibody secreting cells (ASC) are present in the nasal mucosa of healthy adults but upon parenteral vaccination the numbers remain stable. However, a rapid transient increase in specific ASC is observed in the tonsils and peripheral blood after parenteral vaccination. In the tonsils, this is associated with a significant decrease in both naïve/effector (CD45RA+) and memory (CD45RO+) CD4+ cells upon vaccination. In this study the investigators will extend our work to investigate the characteristics of influenza-specific T- and B-cells induced locally and systemically after intranasal vaccination in man.
This is a registry study to evaluate the long-term safety and effectiveness of adalimumab in patients with moderately to severely active UC who are treated as recommended in the product label.
