There are about 218 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Iceland. 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.
Experiments suggest that during treatment with vitamin K antagonists (VKA) the activity of coagulation factors (F) II and X better reflect anticoagulation than does FVII. Based on this a new prothrombin time based monitoring test (Fiix-PT) has been invented which is only sensitive to FII and FX. The Fiix-PT can be converted to INR ("Fiix-INR"). The investigators hypothesize that the Fiix-PT may reflect anticoagulation and the antithrombotic effect of VKA as accurately or better than the current PT based tests do (INR based on PT or P&P). The protocol describes a prospective randomized double-blind trial that will be conducted at the Landspitali Anticoagulation Management Center (AMC). The objective of the protocol is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Fiix-INR as a monitoring test compared to the current PT based assays (INR) used to monitor patients treated with VKA to prevent thromboembolism. The investigators will randomize 1200 clients of the AMC into two identically sized monitoring groups, Fiix-INR (test group) and INR (control group). The clinical endpoints to be studied include efficacy (arterial and venous thromboembolic event rate) and safety (bleeding events). Additionally, surrogate convenience endpoints will be studied such as test frequency and time within target range.
This was an extension study of secukinumab prefilled syringes in subjects with moderate to severe chronic plaque-type psoriasis completing preceding psoriasis phase III studies with secukinumab. Subjects on secukinumab at the end of treatment period in phase III studies (e.g., ongoing CAIN457A2302 and CAIN457A2303 and potentially other secukinumab phase III studies) were eligible to join this extension study. This extension study was planned to collect an additional 2 years of long-term efficacy, safety, and tolerability data of secukinumab in either continuous or interrupted therapy (randomized withdrawal period) in subjects showing at least partial response to secukinumab and completing treatment period on secukinumab in previous phase III studies. In this extension study, the prefilled syringe (PFS) liquid formulation of secukinumab were used.
The primary object of this study is to provide clinical documentation for the New base plate significantly 'reduces the degree of Leakage' under the base plate compared to Standard Care base plates. The secondary objectives are to provide clinical documentation on several performance and safety parameters on the New base plate compared to Standard Care base plates. The primary hypothesis is that the New base plate significantly reduces degree of leakage under the base plate compared to Standard Care base plates. Each test period will last for two weeks. In addition to this there will be one week run-in period on New base plate. The data will be collected by investigator in the Case Report Form at the inclusion visit, cross-over visit and termination visit. Data will also be collected by the subject in a questionnaire during the two test periods. The subjects will change their base plates on per need basis and continue with their normal changing pattern in the entire study period. 100 subjects with ileostomy will be included in the study. The subjects will be recruited from Europe including Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Iceland, Germany and France.
This is an international (Sweden, Finland, Norway, Denmark, Iceland and the Netherlands) trial designed to compare the safety and efficacy of active conventional therapy (ACT) and three biologic treatments in subjects with early rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The global aim of this study is to assess and compare 1. the proportion of subjects who achieve remission with ACT versus three different biologic therapies (Certolizumab-pegol, Abatacept or Tocilizumab) 2. two alternative de-escalation strategies in patients who respond to first-line therapy.
This multi-center, randomized, parallel-group, active-controlled, open-label study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of a shortened RoActemra/Actemra (tocilizumab) infusion time compared to the normal infusion time. Patients will be randomized to 8 mg/kg RoActemra/Actemra infusion of 31 minutes every 4 weeks or to RoActemra/Actemra 8 mg/kg infusion of 60 minutes every 4 weeks. The anticipated time on study treatment is 24 weeks.
People with disease (PD) tend to walk with short steps, decreased velocity, and increased stride time variability. Short steps and increased variability are related to greater fall risk. In addition, concurrent performance of a cognitive task (dual-task (DT)) has marked effects on gait in people with PD which is considered to reflect an impaired automaticity of gait. Objective: To investigate short and long term effects of high-volume walking with visual spatial cues (VSC) on gait variables, automaticity, and functional mobility, in people with Parkinson´s Disease (PD), compared with walking without VSC.
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 2 maintenance regimens of ustekinumab administered subcutaneously to patients with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease who responded to treatment with intravenous ustekinumab in studies CNTO1275CRD3001 and CNTO1275CRD3002, compared to subcutaneously administered placebo.
This study (UNITI-2) will compare the effects (both positive and negative) of an initial treatment with ustekinumab to a placebo over 8 weeks in patients with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease.
This study (UNITI-1) will compare the effects (both positive and negative) of an initial treatment with ustekinumab to placebo over 8 weeks, in patients with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease who have either failed or could not tolerate at least one TNF-antagonist medications in the past (specifically, infliximab, adalimumab, or certolizumab pegol).
This study will assess the safety and efficacy of secukinumab compared to placebo in patients that have moderate to severe, chronic, plaque-type psoriasis.
