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.
Our aim is to develop a strategy that reduces the risk of dislocations after total hip arthroplasty surgery performed due to femoral neck fracture. We therefore perform a register-nested, pragmatic, randomized controlled trial to investigate the safety and efficacy of dual mobility cups that were designed to minimize the risk of dislocation in the large and fragile group of elderly patients with femoral neck fractures.
ProBio is an international, outcome-adaptive, multi-arm, open-label, multiple assignment randomized biomarker driven platform trial in patients with metastatic prostate cancer. Patients will be randomized to control or experimental treatment arms. Patients in the control arm will receive standard of care following national guidelines. Patients in the experimental arm will be randomized to treatments based on a biomarker signature inferred from diagnostic tissue or liquid biopsy profiling. The predefined biomarker signatures are tumor properties or mutations in genes/pathways with previously demonstrated clinical validity (e.g. prognostic value or association with treatment response). The biomarker signatures are identified using a hybridisation capture gene panel specifically designed for prostate cancer.
To evaluate if emotion regulation group therapy skills training for adolescents and parents is an efficacious treatment when delivered as adjunctive to treatment as usual compared to a control group consisting of treatment as usual.
Main Objective of this study is to examine long-term safety of nivolumab monotherapy including combinations and other cancer therapies in various tumor types.
The overall objective of the study is to determine the efficacy of corticosteroids in preventing recurrent wheezing and asthma in high-risk, first-time severe wheezing children with rhinovirus infection, stratified by rhinovirus genome load. The secondary objectives are to determine duration and severity of each acute episode with acute expiratory breathing difficulty, the number of episodes with acute expiratory breathing difficulty, degree of pulmonary hyperreactivity and quality of life within 24 months after study entry.
Approximately 300 patients presenting orbital blow-out fracture will be enrolled prospectively in this registry. All patients, surgically and nonsurgically treated as per standard (routine) of care will be followed-up (FU) within the registry for a period of 6 months.
This is a single arm, open-label, multi-center, phase II study to determine the efficacy and safety of tisagenlecleucel in de novo HR pediatric and young adult B-ALL patients who received first-line treatment and are EOC MRD positive. The study will have the following sequential phases: screening, pre-treatment, treatment & follow-up, and survival. After tisagenlecleucel infusion, patient will have assessments performed more frequently in the first month and then at Day 29, then every 3 months for the first year, every 6 months for the second year, then yearly until the end of the study. Efficacy and safety will be assessed at study visits and as clinically indicated throughout the study. The study is expected to end in approximately 8 years after first patient first treatment (FPFT). A post-study long term follow-up safety will continue under a separate protocol per health authority guidelines.
Many patients with CLL have a weakened immune system due to their disease. It increases their risk of developing serious, treatment-requiring infections such as blood poisoning or pneumonia, which in the worst case may end with fatal outcomes. Serious infections due to CLL are responsible for one third of all deaths among CLL patients. PreVent-ACaLL study will investigate whether a combination of two known types of cancer drugs can reduce the risk of infection and thus mortality when given preventively to newly diagnosed CLL patients. A newly developed register-based computer model can predict which patients are at high risk in order to develop infections as a result of their CLL. A preventive treatment might be initiated before patients need chemotherapy. In this way, the cancer disease might be "reset" so that the immune system, which is inhibited by CLL, is restored and the risk of fatal infections is minimized.
Patients with a primary invasive melanoma are recommended to undergo excision of the primary lesion with a wide margin. There is evidence that less radical margins of excision may be just as safe. This is a randomised controlled trial of 1 cm versus 2 cm margin of excision of the primary lesion for adult patients with stage II primary invasive cutaneous melanomas (AJCC 8th edition) to determine differences in disease-free survival. A reduction in margins is expected to improve patient quality of life.
Ivacaftor caused a significance increase in weight in patients carrying the G551D mutation and the etiology of this has largely remained unknown but may be due to improved function of the gastrointestinal tract. The combination therapy of Orkambi has been recently approved for subjects with Cystic Fibrosis homozygous for F508del mutation. This provides an opportunity to examine if there are any improvements in gastrointestinal function. The investigators aim to investigate various aspects of gastrointestinal and pancreatic function before and 6 months after the commencement of Orkambi therapy.
