There are about 8563 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Sweden. 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 investigates the effect of detailed, written dietary advice for improving blood lipids, in a primary care setting. n=222 participants will be randomized to Active Intervention or Control Group. After 3 weeks' intervention, participants will receive written feedback on the effect on their blood lipids. After 6 months, another blood sample is drawn and participants will receive further written feedback.
The study evaluates the long-term safety and tolerability of VX-445 in triple combination (TC) with tezacaftor (TEZ) and ivacaftor (IVA) in subjects with cystic fibrosis (CF) who are homozygous or heterozygous for the F508del mutation
This study will evaluate the efficacy of VX-445 in triple combination (TC) with tezacaftor (TEZ) and ivacaftor (IVA) in subjects with cystic fibrosis (CF) who are heterozygous for F508del and a minimal function mutation (F/MF subjects).
This research study is designed to investigate the use of a simple cognitive task (a memory cue and 10 minute time gap, followed by playing the computer game "Tetris") for decreasing the number of intrusive memories of trauma among young refugees and asylum seekers. The design is a single case experimental AB design with or without optional replication (ABAB). Participants will aim to complete a no-intervention phase ('A': baseline phase) of one week followed by a one-week intervention phase ('B'), including a one-session intervention with a researcher comprising the simple cognitive task, followed by instructions to continue to use the technique self-guided in the subsequent week. Follow ups are conducted after each week to monitor the occurrence of intrusive memories of trauma in a pen-and-paper diary. It is predicted that participants will report fewer intrusive memories during the intervention phase than during the preceding baseline phase.
This study aims at improving the knowledge about resistance training for people with COPD. Resistance training is an important part of pulmonary rehabilitation when the goal is to improve muscular endurance and strength. The study will evaluate the effects and the feasibility of two resistance training programs for people with COPD using a parallel group design. One program will include a larger day-to-day variation (i.e. non-linear periodization) and the progression will be guided by ratings of dyspnea, muscle fatigue, and exertion. The other program will follow the established guidelines for resistance training for people with COPD. The programs will be evaluated for effects regarding muscular endurance, strength, intramuscular adaptions, functional preformance, dyspnea, and health related quality of life. The programs will also be evaluated for feasibility regarding the duration of training sessions, attendance rates, adverse events, and participant satisfaction. The hypothesis is that the non-linear periodization group will have superior effects and that feasibility aspects will be similar between groups.
The aim of the study is to study an english-language version of BDD-NET (Enander, et al., 2014; Enander, et al., 2016), an internet-based treatment for Body Dysmorphic Disorder, on a globally recruited sample. This is an uncontrolled pilot study where a within-subjects repeated measures design was used to assess the feasibility of conducting all aspects of the study remotely, including recruitment, assessment, and treatment delivery.
It has been demonstrated that Transnasal Humidified Rapid Insufflation Ventilatory Exchange used during preoxygenation for emergency surgery is at least equally effective as preoxygenation compared to standard tight fitting mask. Data from a recent study indicates that Transnasal Humidified Rapid Insufflation Ventilatory Exchange might decrease the risk of clinically relevant desaturation below 93% of arterial oxygen saturation. The limitations with our previous study is that it was done only during office hours (Mon-Friday 8 am to 4 pm) and that the power to detect the occurrence of desaturation was too low. Based on the above, the aim is now to conduct a clinical international multicenter study 24/7 with 450 patients and with a simplified protocol that allows the study to be done 24/7. This study is done with the aim of evaluation before implementing this novel technique of preoxygenation into clinical practice. The general purpose of this project is to compare a the preoxygenation technique based on Transnasal Humidified Rapid Insufflation Ventilatory Exchange with traditional preoxygenation with a tight fitting mask during rapid sequence induction (RSI) intubation in patients undergoing emergency surgery.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pemetrexed plus platinum chemotherapy (carboplatin or cisplatin) with or without pembrolizumab (MK-3475; KEYTRUDA®) in the treatment of adults with the following types of tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI)-resistant, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutated, metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tumors: 1) TKI-failures (including osimertinib [TAGRISSO®] failure) with T790M-negative mutation tumors, 2) T790M-positive mutation tumors with prior exposure to osimertinib, and 3) first-line osimertinib failure regardless of T790M mutation status. The primary study hypotheses are that the combination of pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy has superior efficacy compared to saline placebo plus chemotherapy in terms of: 1) Progression-free Survival (PFS) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) based on blinded independent central review, and 2) Overall Survival (OS). This study will be considered to have met its success criteria if the combination of pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy is superior to saline placebo plus chemotherapy in terms of PFS or OS. Upon study completion, participants are discontinued and may be enrolled in a pembrolizumab extension study, if available.
The main aim of this study is to gain an in-depth knowledge of cardiopulmonary and autonomic health consequences, and related risk factors among people with long-term high-level spinal cord injury. The result of this study will form the basis for further research to improve prevention strategies and risk prediction of cardiopulmonary disorders in people with spinal cord injury.
The primary objective of this study was to compare the two alternate primary endpoints of radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients with progressive prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-positive metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who received 177Lu-PSMA-617 in addition to best supportive/best standard of care (BSC/BSoC) versus patients treated with best supportive/best standard of care alone.
