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 investigate the effect on maximal strength training on muscle function, lung function and quality of life for patients diagnosed with COPD grade II-III (Gold scale). Each patient will complete a total of 20 exercise session participating in a rehabilitation program for 4 weeks. Physiological and functional testing will be performed 4 weeks before the training intervention, at baseline and after the intervention period.
More than 1 million people in Europe suffer from Parkinson's disease (PD), a brain disorder manifesting with a motor syndrome and several non-motor features. Neuropsychiatric symptoms, like anxiety and depression, are common in patients with PD, and has profound effects on quality of life and activities of daily living of the patient, and caregiver burden. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) has proven efficient for depressive symptoms, but treatment availability to the general patient with PD is low. Thus, there is an urgent need for individualized remote approaches that can be of benefit to patients on a national scale. This study is a remote, randomized delayed start trial of the effectiveness of videoconference based cognitive behavioral therapy (eCBT) for PD patients with depressive symptoms. N=120 participants with PD and depressive symptoms will be recruited from neurological clinics across four health regions in Norway and self-reference, and randomized into two arms: (A) immediate eCBT with concurrent with TAU and (B) a delayed start (14 weeks) of eCBT with TAU alone. Patients will be assessed at baseline before allocation to treatment, with followed up evaluations 14, 28 and 42 weeks after baseline. The trial is designed as a state-of-the-art remote clinical trial, that can be easily implemented existing health services, resulting in a rapid implementation and improvement of treatment for patients with PD, and potentially large translational value to other brain disorders.
The objective of this retrospective and prospective consecutive series PMCF study is to collect long-term data confirming safety, performance and clinical benefits of the ExploR Radial Head System (implants and instrumentation) when used for radial head arthroplasty.
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled multicenter, phase 3 study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tezepelumab administered subcutaneously (SC) using an accessorized pre-filled syringe (APFS) versus placebo in adult and adolescent patients with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE).
The "Healthy Sport Project" is an adapted program from the Body Project by prof Eric Stice, aiming to reduce body dissatisfaction and symptoms of disordered eating and eating disorders in adolescent elite athletes. This trial aim to evaluate the effect of the program using a one-arm pilot study design in 14 years age old athletes at a Norwegian Elite Sport Junior High School.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of mavacamten compared with placebo in participants with symptomatic non-obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (nHCM).
The primary objective of this study is to compare the effect of treatment with olpasiran, to placebo, on the risk for coronary heart disease death (CHD death), myocardial infarction, or urgent coronary revascularization in participants with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and elevated Lipoprotein(a).
This is a multi-center, randomized, quadruple-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of batoclimab in adult participants with active CIDP. The study includes an up to 4-week Screening Period, an up to 12-week Washout Period, a 12-week Randomized Treatment Period (Period 1), an up to 24-week Randomized Withdrawal Period (Period 2), an up to 52-week Long-term Extension (LTE) Period (optional), and Safety Follow-up 4 weeks after the last dose of study treatment. The total study duration will be up to approximately 109 weeks. Eligible participants will be assigned to one of four cohorts based upon their baseline CIDP treatment (Cohorts A and D - immunoglobulin [Ig] or plasma exchange [PLEX]; Cohort B - corticosteroids; Cohort C - naive or untreated in previous 3-24 months) and whether they meet diagnosis according to the European Academy of Neurology/Peripheral Nerve Society (EAN/PNS) criteria (Cohorts A, B, and C) or clinical criteria only (Cohort D) at the time of screening.
The study will be a multicenter, multinational, prospective single arm blinded non-interventional follow-up study (from DXT-CS-005) to validate RESPINOR DXT's performance to identify patients at increased risk of weaning failure during the spontaneous breathing trial (SBT). Continuous diaphragmatic excursion measurements by RESPINOR DXT will be conducted during the patients' first SBT. The recording shall be initiated 15 minutes prior to the first SBT and will end 15 minutes post SBT. All patients on mechanical ventilation in the ICU meeting the eligibility criteria shall undergo a daily screen for weaning readiness. If any of the components of the daily screen is not met, the patient will not undergo a SBT that day and continued to be screened daily. Patients passing daily screening criteria shall automatically receive an SBT. The SBT shall last for 30-120 minutes and be performed on continuous positive airway pressure up to 5 cm H2O and pressure support up to 7 cm H2O. The SBT shall be terminated, and mechanical ventilation reinstituted at the original settings if the patient meets any of the SBT failure criteria. A trial is considered successful, and physicians will be asked to approve extubation when the patient can breathe spontaneously for the whole trial. As part of the clinical investigation, patients shall be continued to be screened daily until extubation, 21 days after enrollment, the performance of tracheostomy, death, or withdrawal of care. All patients shall be followed until hospital discharge or death.
Can antibiotic drugs be administered faster and make acceptable serum concentrations if we give short but multiple infusions compared to long and fewer infusions? In this study we will compare giving meropenem 1 gram 6 times daily in 15 minutes infusions to the recommended 2 gram 3 times daily in 3 hours infusions. In patients in the intensive care unit, the need for intravenous access is of essence. If 6 short infusions results in the same serum concentrations as 3 long infusions, we will increase intravenous access from 15 to 22.5 hours daily.
