There are about 3944 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Finland. 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.
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), formerly known as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), a major global public health concern, is commonly associated with obesity, diabetes, and dyslipidemia. MASLD is currently the most common cause of chronic liver disease affecting about 80% of people with obesity, ranging from simple fat deposits in the liver to Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatohepatitis (MASH), cellular injury, advanced fibrosis, cirrhosis, or hepatocellular carcinoma. Patients with MASH are also at risk for cardiovascular disease and mortality. There is no universally approved medication for MASH. Weight loss remains the cornerstone of MASH treatment. Patients meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria and who give informed consent will be enrolled in the trial and undergo the baseline liver biopsy (if none available). Approximately 120 patients with MASH and liver fibrosis (F1-F4 in baseline liver biopsy) will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to metabolic surgery or medical treatment (incretin-based therapies ± other medical therapies for MASH) and followed for 2 years at which time a repeat liver biopsy will be performed for the assessment of the primary end point.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness and safety of golcadomide in combination with rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP) chemotherapy vs placebo in combination with R-CHOP chemotherapy in participants with previously untreated high-risk large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL).
The goal of this observational study is to compare fetal liver ultrasound radiomics between pregnancies complicated by type 1 diabetes and healthy controls. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Are fetal liver ultrasound radiomic features reproducible? - Does fetal liver ultrasound radiomics differ between pregnancies complicated by type 1 diabetes and healthy controls? Participants will undergo ultrasound examination to collect ultrasound data for the analyses.

In this clinical trial, our aim is to assess the effect of auto-FMT (Fecal microbiome transplantation) on the intestinal microbiota, after a course of antibiotics. 30 healthy adults are recruited. All are given a five day course of amoxicillin-clavulanate. The subjects are double blinded and randomized to two groups. Group A is given autologous FMT (auto-FMT) on day 7 (two days after the end of the course of antibiotics) and Group B is given auto-FMT on day 28 (23 days after the end of the course of antibiotics).
The goal of this clinical trial is to study if a oral maternal fecal transplant given to a premature infant born by cesarean section (CS) is safe. The investigators will also compare the gut microbiome of the infants to those born by CS and not received the transplant and to premature infants born vaginally.
APPAC IV, a randomized double-blind multicenter clinical trial comparing once daily oral moxifloxacin with placebo in an outpatient setting aims to evaluate whether antibiotics and hospitalization or both can be omitted in the treatment of uncomplicated appendicitis further significantly increasing cost savings and patient satisfaction. This is a direct research continuum to the previous trial triad: APPAC, APPAC II and APPAC III, which have already established that the majority of patients with uncomplicated acute appendicitis can be safely treated without surgery. The APPAC IV trial is based on a novel concept and approach to further optimize the nonoperative treatment of uncomplicated acute appendicitis with a high potential in resulting in major health care cost savings and potentially also in significant reduction of antibiotic use in an extremely common surgical emergency.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate two treatment strategies in patients with chronic atrial fibrillation and heart failure, who are eligible for atrial fibrillation ablation. Patients will be randomized to either atrial fibrillation ablation or to implantation of a pacemaker with conduction system pacing followed by atrioventricular node ablation. The effect of treatment allocation on total mortality, cardiovascular hospitalization and heart failure hospitalization will be compared.
This is a multicenter, single arm, open-label, Phase 2 study in high risk smoldering myeloma patients. The primary objective is to determine the efficacy of Elranatamab in patients with previously untreated high-risk SMM. The key-secondary objective is to determine the safety of Elranatamab in patients with previously untreated high-risk SMM.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about insomnia treatment among primary care patients with chronic insomnia. The main question it aims to answer is: • Does Sleep School (a therapy for insomnia) work well to decrease harm of insomnia? Participants will attend a group therapy intervention once a week for six weeks. Researchers will compare Sleep School to treatment as usual (short counselling by an educated nurse) to see if the Sleep School works better than treatment as usual in decreasing the harm of insomnia.
