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.
Disease progression is typical for patients with epidermal growth factor receptor mutated (EGFRm) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Standard platinum-based chemotherapy offers limited efficacy and an unfavorable safety profile.There is an urgent need for more effective and tolerable therapies for patients with EGFRm NSCLC who have exhausted available targeted therapies. Clinical evidence suggest that patritumab deruxtecan constitutes a promising investigational therapy for patients with EGFRm NSCLC.
This study will evaluate the long-term safety, efficacy and pharmacodynamics of ELX/TEZ/IVA in participants with cystic fibrosis (CF) with at least 1 non-F508del ELX/TEZ/IVA-responsive CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene mutation.
This study is open to adults with Progressive Fibrosing Interstitial Lung Diseases (PF-ILDs). People who have a form of PF-ILD other than Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) can join the study. If they already take nintedanib, they can continue treatment throughout the study. The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called BI 1015550 helps people with PF-ILD. Participants are put into 3 groups randomly, which means by chance. Participants in 2 groups take different doses of BI 1015550 as tablets twice a day. Participants in the placebo group take placebo tablets twice a day. Placebo tablets look like BI 1015550 tablets but do not contain any medicine. Participants are in the study for up to two and a half years. During the first year, they visit the study site 10 times. Afterwards, they visit the study site every 3 months. The doctors regularly test participants' lung function. The results of the lung function tests are compared between the groups. The doctors also regularly check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects.
This study is open to adults with a lung disease called Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF). People can join the study if they are 40 years or older. If they already take nintedanib or pirfenidone for their IPF, they can continue treatment throughout the study. The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called BI 1015550 helps people with IPF. Participants are put into 3 groups randomly, which means by chance. Participants in 2 groups take different doses of BI 1015550 as tablets twice a day. Participants in the placebo group take placebo tablets twice a day. Placebo tablets look like BI 1015550 tablets but do not contain any medicine. Participants are in the study for up to two and a half years. During the first year, they visit the study site 10 times.

Background: About 85% of those receiving opioid agonist therapy (OAT) for opioid dependence are smoking tobacco. Cigarette smoke lead to lunge diseases and cause illness and death within this group. BAReNikotin is a multicentre randomised controlled clinical trial that will test if integration of smoking cessation therapy to clinical practice at OAT-clinics will increase the rate of OAT-patients that quit smoking. Intervention: The patients selected for the intervention arm will receive smoking cessation therapy including weekly brief behavioural interventions and prescription-free nicotine replacement products such as nicotine lozenges, patches and chewing gum for at least 16 weeks. This will be compared to a group of patients, who does not receive any help to quit smoking, apart from intial screening of smoking behaviour and advice on where to buy nicotine replacement products. The patients will have to attend OAT outpatient clinics in Bergen and Stavanger, Norway. The main evaluation will take place 16 weeks after the start of the study. Study population: The target group will be patients with severe opioid dependence receiving OAT from outpatient clinics in the aforementioned cities who are smoking tobacco daily. Expected outcome: The primary goal of the study is to see how many of those patients that are offered smoking cessation treatment, that have stopped smoking or reduced the number of cigarettes smoked by at least one half by the end of the intervention. We will also investigate if quitting smoking changes the well-being, physical fitness and quality of life of the participants. If the nicotine replacement therapy is safe and efficacious, it can be considered for further scale-up.
This study is open to children and adolescents with interstitial lung disease (ILD) that causes lung fibrosis. This is a study for people who took part in a previous study (study 1199-0337, InPedILD™) and for people who are between 6 and 17 years old and have fibrosing ILD. This study tests a medicine called nintedanib. Nintedanib is already used to treat different types of lung fibrosis in adults. The purpose of the study is to find out how well long-term treatment with nintedanib is tolerated in children and adolescents. All participants take nintedanib capsules twice a day. Participants are in the study for at least 1 year and 5 months or until nintedanib or other treatment options become available outside of this study. During the first 3 years, they visit the study site about 15 times. Afterwards, they visit the study site every 3 months. The doctors collect information on any health problems of the participants.
The purpose of the Columbus-AD study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 12 months of encorafenib in combination with binimetinib in adjuvant setting of BRAF V600E/K mutant stage IIB/C melanoma versus the current standard of care (surveillance).
This is a Phase IIIb, single-arm, multicenter, OLE study. Participants receiving ocrelizumab as an investigational medicinal product (IMP) in a Roche sponsored Parent study who continue to receive ocrelizumab or are in safety follow-up at the time of the closure of their respective Parent study (WA21092, WA21093 or WA25046) are eligible for enrollment in this extension study. Participants who will continue ocrelizumab treatment will receive IMP based on the dosage and administration received at the time of rollover from the Parent study.
Background: Drug use is associated with unhealthy lifestyle choices, resulting in adverse social and health consequences. Particular people with opioid dependence have high morbidity and reduced quality of life. A reduction in fitness level for people with substance use disorder reduces the general health and quality of life. Physical activity is recommended as an adjunctive treatment for people with substance use disorder. Due to its positive effects on health, quality of life and substance use. There is minimal evidence from well-controlled randomised trials among people receiving opioid agonist therapy. However, studies indicate that exercise could be promising in opioid agonist therapy. Study design: BAReAktiv is a multicentre randomised controlled trial. The study aims to recruit approximately 225 patients receiving opioid agonist therapy. Intervention: A 16-week group-based exercise intervention with workouts twice a week. The exercise program will consist of endurance and strength training. The intervention will be integrated into outpatient's clinics in Bergen and Stavanger, Norway. Study population: The target group will be patients over 18 years of age with severe opioid use disorder receiving OAT in outpatient clinics. Expected outcome: This study will inform the relative advantages and disadvantages of an integrated exercise program as an adjunctive treatment. Both physical and mental health outcomes are of interest. Further scale-up will be considered if the provided exercise program is safe and effective.
The direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) and particularly the FXa inhibitors are a concern in patients presenting with type A aortic dissection as this may contribute to severe bleeding complications. The antidote andexanet alfa (Ondexxya®) can interact with the heparin- anti-thrombin III (ATIII) complex which may neutralize the anticoagulant effect of heparin and the use of andexanet alfa before surgery necessitating heparin-anticoagulation has been reported to cause unresponsiveness to heparin. The investigators have preliminary in-vitro data demonstrating the ability to remove apixaban from reconstituted blod by hemadsorption and are now analyzing if aFXa inhibitor levels may be reduced by hemadsorption in the clinical setting analyzing this in patients using FXa inhibitors being operated acutely for type A aortic dissection.
