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 show whether addition of thrombolytic treatment by a single bolus injection of tenecteplase prior to early standard PCI (percutaneous coronary intervention) will improve the clinical outcome in patients with large acute myocardial infarcts as compared to primary PCI alone.
The primary objective of this study is to determine whether combination treatment (adding methylprednisolone to Avonex) reduces progression of disability over 4 years compared to Avonex alone. The study will also investigate whether combination therapy has any impact on the incidence of relapse and brain atrophy as measured by MRI.
Determine the value of a clinically feasible strategy of therapeutic drug monitoring compared with fixed dosing in de novo MMF treated renal transplant recipients with respect to the incidence of treatment failure.
Bronchial asthma is among the world's most prevalent diseases. Roflumilast is a novel, orally active, selective enzyme inhibitor (phosphodiesterase 4 inhibitor), which has shown effectiveness in the treatment of asthma. The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of roflumilast taken orally together with low dose inhaled corticosteroids on lung function. Roflumilast will be administered at one dose level once daily together with inhaled corticosteroids at one dose level twice daily. The study duration consists of a baseline period (2 to 6 weeks) and a treatment period (24 weeks). The study will provide further data on safety, tolerability, and effectiveness of roflumilast.
Prospective, short-term studies in patients admitted for acute stroke have shown an increased risk of infections, bedsores, impaired functional outcome, slower rate of recovery, poorer rehabilitation potential and higher mortality in patients with a poor nutritional status. In hospitals without routine nutritional assessment and individual nutrition management plans, the risk of patients developing malnutrition may be increased. In this study, patients admitted for acute stroke are randomised into either receiving nutritional therapy derived from estimated individual nutritional intake and nutritional needs, or nutritional therapy based on routine care without routine assessment of nutritional status, intake, or needs. The primary outcome measure is the percentage of patients with weight loss ≥ 5 % at three month follow-up.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the continued use of ipilimumab in patients who had reinduction at the time of disease progression or to continue maintenance treatment. In addition, this study will continue to follow patients who have taken ipilimumab, but who are not eligible for maintenance or reinduction therapy.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy to clear or almost clear the plaques in plaque psoriasis patients, treated with the combination etanercept and methotrexate compared to etanercept alone.
Demonstrate a larger proportion of subjects with healed fractures among subjects treated with InductOs and reamed, locked intramedullary nailing compared to subjects treated with reamed, locked intramedullary nailing alone.
In the district areas of Norway patients with acute myocardial infarction with ST-elevation, are treated with thrombolysis. An increasing part of them receives thrombolysis before arrival to the local hospital.Usually these patients have been sent to an invasive center if thrombolysis fails or the patient gets ischemic symptoms during the stay. This study will compare this strategy against immediate transportation to an invasive center after the patient has received thrombolysis.
A follow-on safety study in subjects with Crohn's Disease who have previously been withdrawn from the double-blind study CDP870-031 [NCT00152490] or CDP870-032 [NCT00152425] due to an exacerbation of Crohn's Disease.
