There are about 11304 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Denmark. 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.
In this cross-sectional clinical study, we will examine the bones of 111 Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) patients and 37 age-matched healthy controls with the aim of describing a T1D Bone Phenotype. The main Objectives of the study is a) to determine if the material properties of the bones are affected in diabetic bone disease and b) to determine if the mitochondrial function in osteoclasts and osteoblasts is impaired in T1D. Secondary end points are c) to establishment of the T1D bone phenotype and d) to investigate if mitochondrial dysfunction in T1D bone cells correlates to changes in gene expression, gene activity, bone remodelling, bone density, microarchitecture, geometry and material properties. Furthermore, in terms of contributing to knowledge on etiology and pathology of type one diabetic bone disease, we will study the predictory value of muscle mass in T1D patients and controls, as well as other characteristics such as heart rate variability (HRV) and AGE content. Furthermore, we will study the epidemiology of osteoporosis and fractures in Danish T1D patients. To assess the material properties of the bones, we will measure the bone mass density (BMD), use High Resolution peripheral Quantitative Computed Tomography (HRpQCT) for assessment of the microarchitecture and finite element analysis of bone strength, and by microindentation, we will obtain direct measures of the strength of the cortical bone of the tibia. Further we will measure bone turnover markers and circulating microRNA and in a subgroup of participants (24 T1D, 12 controls) bone samples will be retrieved for examination of bone histomorphometry (structural and static parameters) and cell samples from blood and bone marrow will be used for in vitro experiments focused on cell differentiation mitochondrial function, as hyperglycemia may affect mitochondrial function. Finally measures of some possible predictors of bone fragility in subjects with T1D are examined (sarcopenia, skin advanced glycation end products (AGE) content, autonomic neuropathy)
Twelve-week double-blinded, placebo-controlled, parallel intervention study on 40 participants with a large waist circumference who will ingest cafestol or placebo capsules twice daily. Insulin resistance is measured before and after the twelve-week intervention.
Occupational physical activity during pregnancy may decrease blood supply to the uterus and be connected to negative pregnancy outcomes. Every year, this notion prompts many pregnant women to be absent from their workplace in order to protect themselves and their unborn children. However, little is known about the actual extent and impact of physical workloads among expecting mothers in Denmark and whether this high rate of pregnancy related absence is necessary. In consequence, current guidelines from the Danish Working Environment Agency have omitted former limits on lifting during pregnancy due to lack of evidence. (1) Former studies have mainly been based on self-reported data with no measurements of exposures. A comprehensive evaluation of physical exposures in Danish workplaces and potential consequences for pregnant women will provide a rational basis for organization of work with improved options for prevention of adverse health effects. By use of measurements, observations and real-time self-report, the overall aim of the project is to attain precise data on physical workloads (lifting, standing/walking and forward bending) among pregnant employees in the Danish workforce, and investigate how these relate to discomforts, complications and negative pregnancy outcomes.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of neoadjuvant treatment with pembrolizumab before colonic resection in patients with early-stage (I-III) deficient mismatch repair (dMMR) colon cancer (CC).
The co-primary objectives of the study are to: - Evaluate the efficacy of rocatinlimab compared with placebo at Week 24, assessed using Validated Investigator's Global Assessment for Atopic Dermatitis (vIGA-AD). - Evaluate the efficacy of rocatinlimab compared with placebo at Week 24, assessed using Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI).
The primary objective of the FALCON study is to evaluate the efficacy of KL1333 on selected disease manifestations of primary mitochondrial disease (PMD) following 48 weeks of treatment. This objective involves evaluating the efficacy of KL1333 versus placebo on fatigue symptoms and impacts on daily living as well as on functional lower extremity strength and endurance. Additionally, the study evaluates the safety and tolerability of KL1333.
AZD3152, a single mAb, is being developed to have broad neutralizing activity across known SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern for pre-exposure prophylaxis of COVID-19. The aim of the Phase I/III study (Parent Study) will be to evaluate the safety, efficacy and neutralizing activity of AZD3152 compared with comparator for pre exposure prophylaxis of COVID-19, and separately evaluate the safety and PK of AZD5156, a combination of AZD3152 and AZD1061. Sub-study: This Phase II sub-study of SUPERNOVA will assess the safety, PK, and predicted neutralizing activity of AZD3152 compared with EVUSHELD for pre-exposure prophylaxis of COVID-19.
The goal of this prospective cohort study is to investigate cardiac comorbidity in a random sample of approximately 1200 patients from a population of outpatients with rheumatoid arthritis and axial spondyloarthritis referred to collectively as inflammatory arthritis (IA). The main questions it aims to answer are: - Using conventional echocardiography, the investigators aim to determine the prevalence of overt and asymptomatic cardiac dysfunction in a large random sample of outpatients with IA. Cardiac dysfunction will be evaluated by echocardiography and cardiac biomarkers (NT-pro-BNP, hs-TNT and hs-CRP). - In patients without known heart disease: Using 2, 5 and 10 year follow-up, the investigators aim to examine if advanced echocardiography can be used to detect early signs of heart disease by investigating the clinical significance of adding deformation measures - alone and in combination with selected biomarkers - to conventional risk factors in the cardiac risk assessment of patients with IA Participants will undergo an echocardiographic examination in combination with a general health assessment including obtainment of cardiac biomarkers and a electrocardiogram. Using advanced echocardiography - Tissue Doppler Imaging, 2- dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography, 3D-echocardiography and 3-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography - the investigators also aim to compare myocardial deformation parameters of patients with IA to a gender and age matched control group without IA from the Copenhagen City Heart Study.
This is a phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of multiple doses and multiple administrations of LEVI-04 for the treatment of pain due to osteoarthritis of the knee.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of olezarsen on percent change in fasting triglyceride (TG) levels compared to placebo in participants with hypertriglyceridemia and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, or with severe hypertriglyceridemia.
