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.
The purpose is to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of IONIS-MAPTRx in patients with Mild Alzheimer's Disease
This is a prospective, randomized, controlled, two-armed multi-center pre-market trial. Nighty-six (96) subjects will be recruited at sites in Sweden. Patients with diagnosed stress urinary incontinence (SUI), will be considered as potential study participants. After written informed consent has been acquired, a medical and surgical history, a physical examination (including pelvic examination), and a confirmation of the diagnosis of SUI will be performed, followed by a confirmation of the inclusion/exclusion criteria. The study subjects fulfilling all the eligibility criteria will thereafter be randomized 3:1 into either the TVS group or the standard of care (SoC) group.
The impact of a bilberry-based probiotic drink on the postprandial levels of serum glucose and insulin have already been study in the past. The aim of the current study is to evaluate the long term effect of the probiotic bilberry drink on glucose tolerance and insulin resistance in healthy adults and in comparison to a control drink.
The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK), safety, and tolerability of bezlotoxumab (MK-6072) in children aged 1 to <18 years of age with a confirmed diagnosis of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) who are receiving antibacterial drug treatment. The primary hypothesis is that the area under the concentration-time curve from 0 to infinity (AUC0-inf) of bezlotoxumab after treatment of pediatric participants with bezlotoxumab is similar when compared to the AUC0-inf of bezlotoxumab after treatment of adults with bezlotoxumab.
Schizophrenia is a major mental illness that presents in young adulthood and affects ~1% of the population. Impact on affected persons life is often major and life expectancy is reduced by ~20 years. Better and more effective care models are needed to increase health in these persons. Person-centered care have been suggested to be one way to increase efficiency in care delivery for patients with chronical and complex conditions. The impact of person-centered care on a inpatient psychosis care setting is now being tested. The purpose of this study is to test whether inpatient Person-centered psychosis care (PCPC) can 1. increase patient empowerment 2. improve patient satisfaction 3. reduce the frequency of involuntary treatments 4. reduce the duration of inpatient care and 5. reduce overall ward burden A further purpose is to qualitatively explore which components in this complex intervention are experienced as facilitators or barriers to the achievement of good care, from both patient, next-of-kin and staff perspectives. Quantitative data is collected through questionnaires from patients (measuring empowerment, care satisfaction and perceived health) before and after an educational intervention for staff, along with ward level measures such as care burden, number of involuntary treatments and length of stay on ward. Qualitative interview is used to study experiences of patients, next-of-kin and staff.
The main goal of this non-interventional study (NIS) is to evaluate user satisfaction with Kyleena in a real-life setting and to identify factors which influence user satisfaction, taking into account previously used contraceptive methods and reasons for use of Kyleena.
BACKGROUND: To diagnose caries in clinical practice today, a combination of clinical examination with mirror and probe, and in sometimes x-ray images are used. For surfaces in contact with other teeth X-rays (preferably bitewing) are often required. Even though the radiation doses in bitewings are small, it is important to weigh risks against the benefit to avoid unnecessary radiation. There are other methods for diagnosing caries based on different forms of laser light. One such technique is based on the translucency of the teeth. The light is within the near infrared light (NIR) area. A product named DAIGNOcam (diagnostic camera) is using this technology. The light is led in a hand piece held against the tooth. The tooth is illuminated and the caries lesions can be seen like dark spots on a computer monitor screen. The technique is mainly used in adult patients and permanent teeth. However, there is no complete evaluation of how well the technology diagnoses caries in milk teeth. From a radiation hygiene point of view, it is particularly important to reduce the amount of X-rays to young individuals. X-rays are often experienced as difficult by younger children, which leads to poorer diagnostics. It is important to identify early caries in milk teeth as these teeth have thinner enamel and a more "porous" dentin. This may lead to that caries progress much faster thus more difficult to fix. This in turn leads to a risk of toothache and that the damage becomes so extensive that the tooth must be removed. OBJECTIVE: To investigate diagnostic accuracy / precision in caries diagnosis between teeth using DIAGNOcam in milk teeth comparable to caries diagnostics using bitewing x-rays. RESEARCH QUESTIONS: - Is DIAGNOcam a reliable diagnostic method for diagnosing caries in between teeth (approximal caries) in milk teeth? - How does child experience caries diagnosing performed with DIAGNOcam compared to X-rays? INVESTIGATION VARIABLES: Caries data are recorded according to the accepted diagnostic method at the surface level. Each examined tooth surface is assessed as either 1) intact; 2) caries only in enamel; 3) caries i dentin; or 4) the surface can not be judged. The same classification is used for X-rays and DIAGNOcam. The children will also be able to rate their experience of the X-ray examination and the DIAGNOcam survey using a Faces pain scale to see if there is any difference in experience between the different methods of investigation.
The present health care situation for the elderly in many countries is insufficient and not designed according to the health care needs of the aged population. In a pragmatic multicenter primary care setting (n= 1600), the investigators use an evidence based prediction model to find elderly (75+) with high risk for complex medical care or hospitalization and apply a differentiated and directed medical and social care to this risk group, in comparison to usual care. The intervention will include all the latest evidence based tools in the care of elderly (multi-professional team, social support, medical care home-visits, telephone support, general practitioner visits, etc). The project has high potential impact on the development of future care of elderly. In addition to the intervention study, several academic sub-studies focusing on patient's perspective, professional roles, equality, implementation and governance management of health care will be performed.
This study will assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and preliminary efficacy of escalating doses of quavonlimab when used in combination with pembrolizumab in participants with advanced solid tumors.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate efficacy of cobitolimod treatment at different dose levels and frequencies compared to placebo in patients with moderate to severe left-sided ulcerative colitis.
