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.
This study aims to assess efficacy of Niraparib (GSK3985771) as maintenance treatment in participants with Stage III or IV ovarian cancer. Participants must have completed front-line platinum based regimen with complete response (CR) or partial response (PR). Data collection for Secondary Outcome measures is ongoing and the approximate duration of the study will be 7 years.
Enchanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols aim to provide safer and quicker recovery postoperatively. One of the elements in ERAS protocols is that bowel is not prepared before colorectal surgery. However, several recent retrospective register studies have suggested that mechanical bowel preparation combined to oral antibiotics before colectomy reduces complications compared to no preparation at all. This trial compares these two strategies to find out whether complications can indeed be reduced by mechanically preparing the bowel with oral antibiotics.
ALASCCA is a randomized, parallel group, double blind, multicenter, placebo-controlled, biomarker-based study of adjuvant treatment with low dose aspirin in patients with colorectal cancer. Hypothesis is that patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer and somatic mutations in PI3K pathway can significantly improve survival if treated with low dose aspirin.
The outcomes of oral immunotherapy (OIT) in food allergy study will provide more knowledge of oral immunotherapy. So far the OIT has showed in clinical experiments to be a interesting way to increase the unresponsiveness in severe food allergies. However little is known about it´s long-term outcomes, immunological mechanisms and there are no previous studies about cost-utility of OIT.
This study investigates the effect of motivational interviewing and intensive education on HbA1c values and glucose variability in poorly controlled adolescent T1D patients. In the present study motivational interviewing (MI) will be integrated to clinicians' daily practice, as a part of normal clinical visit. In this randomized, controlled trial hypothesis is, that applying motivational interviewing during regular clinical visits results in better acceptance and subsequently enhanced metabolic control in adolescents with poorly controlled type 1 diabetes.
This randomized clinical trial compares two systemic treatments for HER2-positive breast cancer. The treatments are given either prior to breast surgery (as neoadjuvant treatment) or after breast surgery (as adjuvant treatment). In the investigational group (Group A) the study participants will receive a combination of two drugs directed at HER2 (two anti-HER2 antibodies) plus a chemotherapy agent (docetaxel) for a brief duration, and the patients allocated to the comparator group (Group B) will be treated with chemotherapy plus one anti-HER2 treatment (trastuzumab) for one year.
Developmental dyslexia is a highly heritable disorder in which reading skills are compromised despite normal intelligence and appropriate reading instruction. Reading problems in dyslexia are thought to primarily originate from weak speech sound representations or poor phonological skills. Dyslexia has also been associated with short-term or working memory dysfunctions. The current study will address the presence of these problems in dyslexic adults by the means of recording auditory and audio-visual mismatch negativity (MMN) and its magnetic counterpart (MMNm) to determine neural speech sound discrimination, representations and integration of seen and heard language. In addition to analyzing neural processing of syllables or (pseudo-)words, a new approach to MEG acquisition and analysis to characterize the neural responses during comprehension of complex real-life speech will be used. Furthermore, reading, phonological and cognitive skills of these participants will be determined with a neuropsychological test battery. The associations between the neural, neuropsychological and genetic measures will be studied. This project will illuminate the nature of neurocognitive dysfunctions in dyslexia and their relationship with genes.
This study is for young children with severe hemophilia A who have previously not been treated with BAX855 or other FVIII concentrates. The main aim of the study is to check for side effects from treatment with BAX855. This includes the buildup of antibodies against FVIII which may stop BAX855 from working properly. Another aim is to learn how well BAX855 controls bleeding. In this study, the children can receive BAX855 either as preventative treatment (prophylaxis), or as needed to treat bleeding (on-demand). In case a participant develops antibodies, treatment will be provided as part of the study.
The purpose of this multicenter double blind study is to assess efficacy and safety of Pitolisant versus placebo in paediatric Narcoleptic patients with or without cataplexy.
There are conflicting results in earlier studies concerning the safety and efficacy of epidural oxycodone. In a study by Bäcklund and colleagues, epidural oxycodone was as effective as intravenous oxycodone, so they did not recommend epidural use of oxycodone. In another study, Yanagidate and Dohi reported that oxycodone was as effective in pain treatment with double dose compared to epidural morphine. In our previous study, epidural oxycodone provided safe and effective pain relief when compared to intravenous oxycodone. In the present study, the aim was to compare the efficacy and safety of epidural or intravenous oxycodone in patients undergoing elective gynecological surgery with planned epidural pain treatment.
