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.
TRUST-ACE will compare a simplified echocardiographic protocol focusing on ventricular function with the guideline recommended comprehensive echocardiographic examination using a randomised design in follow-up of breast-cancer patients with respect to identification of cancer treatment related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD). Secondly, the study will evaluate whether novel tools used to improve standardization of recordings as well as automated measurements of central measurements, e.g. ejection fraction (EF) and global longitudinal strain (GLS) can improve the precision of echocardiography in daily clinical practice.
The goal of this feasibility study is to evaluate the feasibility and preliminary clinical outcomes of a personalized digital treatment for adolescents with eating disorders. The main objectives are to: i) Evaluate whether a personalized digital treatment for adolescents with eating disorders are feasible in a child and adolescent psychiatric outpatient clinic. ii) Evaluate who benefits from a personalized digital treatment for adolescents with eating disorders (what works for whom?) iii) Evaluate the cost-benefit of a personalized digital treatment for adolescents with eating disorders. Participants will be enrolled in a 10-week digital treatment including weekly therapist contact. They will be asked to complete self-report questionnaires at pre-, during, post- and 3- and 6-months follow-up.
Traumatic injuries, defined as a physical injury with sudden onset, are a leading cause to disability and impaired health. Persons who sustain a traumatic injury often report problems in daily life activities and reduced quality of life, which may limit participation in work/studies, leisure activities and family life. Consequently, complex rehabilitation and support is recommended in National Trauma guidelines due to the often long-lasting physical and psychological sequela of the injury. The main goal of this study is to determine the effectiveness of a self-management support program delivered to persons with a moderate or severe traumatic injury in the sub-acute phase of recovery (i.e. 3-4 months after injury). The self-management program aims to enhance patients' self-efficacy by building skills and self-management strategies to cope with injury-related consequences. The program has a group-based format and consists of eight sessions comprising psychoeducation, skill mastery and sharing of experiences. The participants who will be included in the study must be between 18 and 70 years, be residing in the southeast region of Norway, be admitted to Oslo University hospital or transferred from local hospital within 72 hours after injury, have at least a two-day hospital stay, and be able to read and understand Norwegian language. Participants will be randomly assigned to either intervention or control group. A group of patients will also be able to self-select if they want to receive the self-management support program or be in the control group. The latter is an explorative part of the study to evaluate the influence of patients' treatment-preferences on the study outcomes. Participants in the control group will receive treatment as usual.
To study the association between DISC1 RNA expression levels and cardiac function in patients with schizophrenia.
The objectives of the engAGE project are to counteract and slow down cognitive decline progression, to enhance the intrinsic capacity of the users, and to support the wellbeing of older persons with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) by providing an ecosystem of services based on an innovative system that integrates social robots.
The primary objective of this study is to explore and evaluate the use and utility of a guided Internet-delivered psychological treatment for adults with ADHD with a combined focus on: i) Evaluating the impact of potential predictors to treatment adherence, treatment response, treatment use and utilty. ii) Evaluating the feasibility, clinical benefits and implementation process of the treatment in routine outpatient care. iii) Evaluate the cost-effectiveness of the treatment program.
The HIPS-study will be an observer blinded, single-centre, parallel-group randomized controlled trial (RCT). The main purpose of the study is: 1. To investigate the clinical effectiveness of a self- management program versus usual care for patients with greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS). - H0: There is no difference between a self-management program and usual care on pain and function in patients with GTPS. - H1: There is a difference between a self-management program and usual care on pain and function in patients with GTPS. 2. To investigate if self-management is more cost-effective than usual care in the treatment of patients with GTPS. Participants will be randomly allocated into one of two groups: 1) self-management program or 2) usual care. Follow-up will be at 3-, 6- and 12-months.
This is an open-label, multicenter study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of HMPL-523 in adult subjects with ITP.
Circulating tumor DNA assays are becoming relevant for routine diagnostics, but many related aspects are yet unresolved. With this project, the investigators aim to develop pragmatic molecular diagnostic pathways of liquid biopsies relevant in advanced gastrointestinal malignancies with focus on clinical utility and sensible use of resources. They want to evaluate the ctDNA assays on a fully automated "low-cost" multiplex platform which is already implemented in routine molecular diagnostics of solid biopsies. The project will evaluate to what extent these ctDNA assays are relevant for clinical decision-making.
The goal of this prospective, international multi-centre pilot study is to assess the functionality and user experience of a new vital sign monitoring system in 20 patients and 20 nurses in the general ward at each centre. The patients will be monitored with a wireless, continuous vital sign monitoring systems and answer a questionnaire afterwards. They will in addition have vital signs monitored as per standard practice. The nurses will answer a questionnaire after having had the responsibility for a monitored patient for a full shift. The main aims are: To determine the frequency of alerts activated in the app in relation to the alerts that should be activated based on measured data, to explore current practices of in-hospital monitoring by semi-structured interviews to map differences across systems and to test nurse and patient satisfaction.
