There are about 3957 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.
The goal of any novel design or therapeutic strategy to treat atrial fibrillation is to restore normal sinus rhythm and to reduce or eliminate the symptoms due to rapid atrial response. Boston Scientific has developed the FARAPULSE™ Pulsed Field Ablation therapy that uses irreversible electroporation to induce cell death. This Registry is intended to obtain purely observational and prospective real world data and to provide continued evidence on the safety and effectiveness when the FARAPULSE™ pulsed field ablation System is used per hospitals' standard of care.
The LITMUS Imaging Study is a prospectively recruited, observational study of patients with histologically characterised non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). It aims to evaluate the diagnostic performance of imaging biomarkers (ultrasound elastography and magnetic resonance biomarkers) against NAFLD histological scores in a cross-sectional analysis and the natural history of NAFLD in a longitudinal study.
This is an observational study of participants in two general population health surveys (FinSote 2018 and 2020) who are followed up for their COVID-19 vaccinations or end of follow-up. The primary objective is to examine the association between tobacco use and COVID-19 vaccine uptake and between-dose spacing.
The main purpose of this clinical study is to evaluate a 6-valent OspA-based Lyme disease vaccine (VLA15) for prevention of Lyme disease within North America and Europe. Approximately 9,000 healthy participants 5 years and older will be recruited from areas with high levels of endemic Lyme disease to receive VLA15 or placebo (an inactive substance consisting of saltwater). Each participant will have about a 50% chance of receiving VLA15 and about a 50% chance of receiving placebo. A subset of participants will receive VLA15 from 3 different lots or placebo (1:1:1:3 ratio) to assess lot equivalence. Participants will receive a 3-dose primary vaccination series at about 0, 2, and 5 to 9 months and then receive a booster dose about 12 months later. Vaccination of participants will occur at a time of year such that the primary series is completed before the peak Lyme disease season followed by a booster dose just prior to the beginning of the second Lyme disease season. Comparison will be made between the Lyme disease cases of people receiving the study vaccine to those of the people who are not. This will help us determine if the study vaccine is safe and effective. If enrolled, participants will need to visit the research site at least 7 times during the study. There will also be at least 5 telephone contacts. It is expected that each participant will take part in this study for up to about 2 and a half years.
Phase 1b study to assess the pharmacodynamics, safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of NIO752 in patients with early Alzheimer's disease (AD)
This randomized controlled non-sponsored trial on 60 patients evaluates if a portable negative-pressure device improves graft-take and decrease the risk of surgical complications for skin-cancer surgeries below the knee.
Sudden Cardiac Death is a leading cause of mortality and remains a major public health burden worldwide. Cardiac arrest due to coronary heart disease explains a large proportion of the cases, but if autopsy is not performed the exact underlying cause remains obscure in many adults who face sudden death outside heath care organizations. The investigators aim to find proof that primary aldosteronism is a risk factor for sudden death and to characterize the prevalence of adrenal pathology in sudden death of undetermined cause in a case-control study. In addition, the study aims to characterize the prevalence of other adrenal pathology i.e. silent adenomas, cortisol-producing adenomas and pheochromocytomas in sudden death. The investigators also seek evidence that other endocrine hormone overproduction-causing diseases are more prevalent in persons with sudden death compared with those experiencing traumatic or suicidal death sudden death.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effects of a game-based digital-therapeutics (DTx) medical software device on the symptoms of depression in adults with confirmed major depressive disorder.
The purpose of the current ZOSTER-101 long-term follow-up (LTFU) study of ZOSTER-049 (NCT02723773) study, an extension of ZOSTER-006 (NCT01165177) and ZOSTER-022 (NCT01165229) primary studies, is to assess the long-term vaccine efficacy (VE) against Herpes Zoster (HZ) (approximately 11-15 years post primary vaccination in ZOSTER-006/022 studies), persistence of immunogenicity and safety of GSK's Herpes Zoster subunit (HZ/su) vaccine in older adults. The persistence of immunogenicity and safety of 1 or 2 additional doses (0, 2-month schedule) of HZ/su vaccine administered to a small group of participants in ZOSTER-049 study (approximately 5 years after the initial vaccination in ZOSTER-006/022 studies) will also be assessed.
This is a prospective clinical study that aims to investigate asymptomatic carriage of beta haemolytic streptococci (especially group A streptococci, GAS and group B streptococci, GBS) during pregnancy. Association of asymptomatic carriage to possible complications of the mother or the newborn as well as the transmission between spouses will be evaluated. Maternal microbiota during labour will also be studied.
