There are about 3961 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.
A prospective, non-randomised, observational study to investigate the clinical and biomechanical outcomes and prevalence of reruptures after operative or nonoperative treatment of acute achilles tendon rupture.
This randomized study compares operative techniques in chronic rhinosinusitis with polyposis (CRSwNP) surgery. It aims to evaluate outcomes in asthma and CRSwNP, safety and costs. The investigators want to see if patients with certain clinical and/or genetic predispositions will benefit from extended surgery. They also aim to find biomarkers for detection and management models for of severe airway inflammation and to further develop markers for progressive disease forms.
Phase II study to evaluate safety and efficacy of DCP-001 in patients with AML in CR, and with presence of MRD
eMOM is a randomized, controlled trial to compare the effects of two different dietary interventions during pregnancy. The comparison is based on tissue glucose content (using continuous glucose monitoring system) in pregnant women and on neonate body composition. The recruited women (n=60) have been diagnosed with gestational diabetes mellitus, and are of Caucasian origin. Of the study diets, one is moderately carbohydrate restricted and the other one is high on plant-based protein with an emphasis on healthy Nordic foods. The study has two two-week study periods that are carried out on approximately gestational weeks 24-28 (period I) and 34-36 (period II). Continuous glucose monitoring and other measurements (accelerometer, 3-day food record, gut microbiota, serum lipids, metabolomics, epigenetics etc.) are done during these study periods. At the beginning of the study, before study period I, the participants are randomized to either one of the intervention diets. The first study period consists of a crossover phase in which the participants receive three days' worth of food according to one of the intervention diets (according to the randomization) after which there is a three-day wash-out period. After the wash-out period, the participants receive three days' worth of food according to the other diet. After the first study period, a nutritionist advises the lastly followed intervention diet to the participant and the diet is followed until delivery. To ensure the diet is followed, the participants gets at least three personal face-to-face counseling sessions, phone calls, mobile reminders, recipes and food items. After delivery, the infant's body composition, epigenetic markers of cord blood and placenta, gut microbiome and urine metabolomics are measured.
The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of risankizumab versus placebo in participants with moderately to severely active psoriatic arthritis (PsA).
A clinical trial comparing healing of unilateral or bilateral spondylolysis in children treated with a Boston thoracolumbar orthosis (brace) or with a soft spinal brace (Porostrap lumbar support) for four months. Inclusion criteria will be a child or adolescent aged between 8 and 20 years with an early uni- or bilateral defect (fracture line) in the pars interarticularis in the CT-scan with no signs of bony sclerosis. Additionally, bone marrow edema has to be confirmed in MR images (T2 sagittal) as a sign of an early lesion. Exclusion criteria will be spondylolisthesis on standing spinal radiograph, systemic skeletal disorder or lack of interest. Patient's preference defines the treatment method. Minimum follow-up time will be 2 years for all patients. According to statistical power analysis a total of 60 patients will be needed to provide evidence for the effectiveness or no effectiveness of rigid thoracolumbar orthosis on the natural history of early spondylolysis. Measured outcome parameters are 1) Bony healing on CT-scan, 2) SRS-24-score at the beginning of the treatment and during the 2-year follow-up, 3) Back and lower extremity pain at the beginning of the treatment and during the 2-year follow-up (Pain drawing including VAS-score in children under 16 years old, Oswestry disability index including VAS-score in patients over 16 years old), 4) Thoracolumbar radiographs at 2-year follow-up: Evidence of spondylolisthesis, 5) Trunk strength and spinal mobility at follow-up visits. As part of this study, the investigators will also evaluate patients with spondylolysis treated in their hospitals before this clinical trial begun. In this retrospective study they will evaluate all patients between 8 and 20 years of age with spondylolysis, which have been treated with thoracolumbar orthosis after year 2009 and are not participating in to prospective study. Main focus will be in bony healing in CT-scans after brace treatment.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of risankizumab in adults with moderately to severely active psoriatic arthritis (PsA).
The purpose of this study is to compare nivolumab plus neoadjuvant gemcitabine/cisplatin (GC) chemotherapy, followed by post-surgery continuation of immuno-oncology (IO) therapy, with neoadjuvant GC chemotherapy alone in adult participants with previously untreated muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC).
This study evaluates the efficacy of Lymfactin® in patients with secondary lymphedema associated with the treatment of breast cancer by comparing the effects of active study treatment Lymfactin® to placebo. The study product will be administered in combination with a surgical lymph node transfer operation. In addition, the safety and tolerability of the Lymfactin® treatment will be evaluated.
Comparing the classical extracapsular tonsillectomy (TE) performed with electrosurgery to intracapsular approaches (SIPT) by coblation or microdebrider. The patient group is adults with recurrent or chronic tonsillitis
