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 of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of upadacitinib in participants with active ankylosing spondylitis (AS) who have had an inadequate response to at least 2 non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or intolerance to or a contraindication for NSAIDs, and who are naïve to biologic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (bDMARD).
A prospective pharmacokinetic (PK), pharmacodynamic (PD) and pharmacogenetic (PG) observation study, including the PK/PD/PG relationship, in fentanyl and clonidine administered for analgesia and sedation to term newborn asphyxiated infants receiving hypothermic treatment in the NICU.
In the Swedish organised cervical screening program precursors of cervical cancer are detected and treated. Most precursor lesions detected by screening heal spontaneously. Those who progress do it slowly. There are three levels from light; CIN1, moderate; CIN2 to severe; CIN3. Women with CIN3 are always treated, regardless of age, according to current clinical guidelines. Women with CIN2 who are below the age of 25 years are offered active expectance for up to two years because there is good evidence that they will spontaneously heal their lesions (regression) in 40-70% of the cases during that time. Method of treatment is today an excisional procedure of the cervix most often by Large loop excision of the transformation zone (LLETZ/LEEP) Treatment increases the risk of premature birth in a future pregnancy. In 2015 about 1800 excisional procedures of the transformation zone of the cervix were performed in the Västra Götalands regionen (VGR) om Sweden. The average age of first-time mothers in Sweden is rising and in 2014 it was 29 years. Postponed childbearing raises the question whether it is possible to refrain from surgery even for the group of women over 25 years old, with proven CIN2. Existing studies suggest that cure of CIN2 in the age group of and above 25 takes place in the same extent as under 25 years of age.There is lack of evidence concerning clinical follow-up. In a prospective multicenter clinical cohort study (observational study) with careful monitoring, the investigators will examine what proportion of CIN2 changes regress spontaneously within two years in women, 25-30 years old, and if human papillomavirus (HPV) type 16 may can be a marker for poor regression in this group. Instead of LLETZ, active expectance is offered to women this age with CIN2 in five gynecological clinics in VGR. The study protocol includes gynecologist visits every 6 months for two years, including cytology, colposcopy and directed biopsies of the cervix. Power calculation shows 160 women needs to be included, which is expected to occur within one year from the start.
Positive expiratory pressure( PEP) is routinely given to patients after surgery in order to improve lung function and oxygen saturation. There is, however, no evidence of effect on lung function, postoperative pneumonia or any other outcome (Guimarães MMF, Tyson AF). The investigators aim to test the immediate effects of PEP therapy on oxygen saturation and carbon dioxide after abdominal surgery. 80 patients will be investigated in RCT design with expiration using PEP or with expiration to a sham-PEP, a tube without resistance. At the end of the study we will also measure the effect of 10x3 deep breathing maneuvers without PEP or shamPEP. Primary outcome: Maximum and minimum levels of continuously measured oxygen saturation from pulse oximetry and transcutaneous carbon dioxide partial pressure during the trial.
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the reduction of LDL-C by evinacumab in comparison to placebo after 16 weeks in patients with primary hypercholesterolemia (HeFH, or non-HeFH with a history of clinical ASCVD) with persistent hypercholesterolemia despite receiving maximally-tolerated LMT. Persistent hypercholesterolemia is defined as LDL-C ≥70 mg/dL (1.81 mmol/L) for those patients with clinical ASCVD and LDL-C ≥100 mg/dL (2.59 mmol/L) for those patients without clinical ASCVD.
Consecutive patients with long-standing complex regional pain syndrome II in a lower limb are treated with graded exposure therapy in vivo in combination with methods targeting cortical reorganisation.
The main aim of this study is to learn if ixazomib, given with dexamethasone, stops the cancer from getting worse in people with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. It will be compared to another medicine called pomalidomide, given with dexamethasone with people with the same condition. Relapsed means the previous cancer treatment stopped working, over time. Refractory means they did not respond to previous cancer treatment. Another aim is to check for side effects from the study medicines. At the first visit, the study doctor will check who can take part. Participants who can take part will be picked for 1 of 2 treatments by chance. - Ixazomib capsules, given with dexamethasone tablets - Pomalidomide capsules, given with dexamethasone tablets All participants will take their study medicine on specific days during a 28-day cycle. The 1st dose of study medicines in each 28-day cycle will take place in the clinic, The other doses of the study medicines will be taken at home. This will happen for 6 cycles. After this, all study medicines will be taken at home. After treatment, participants will visit the clinic every 12 weeks for a check-up. If participants cannot attend their clinic for an important reason (for example, due to the COVID-19 pandemic), the clinic will make alternative arrangements using their local procedures.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of benralizumab on the rate of asthma exacerbations, patient reported quality of life and lung function during the 24-week treatment in patients with uncontrolled, severe asthma with an eosinophilic phenotype. A subset of patients will be assessed for their ongoing chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps. The study design has been updated to include a 56-week open label ANDHI in Practice (ANDHI IP) sub study upon the completion of the 24-week double-blind period of the ANDHI study.
The primary objective of this current trial is to investigate the safety and tolerability of 3 oral doses of BI 690517 over 28 days in female and male patients with diabetic nephropathy as add-on-therapy to Angiotensin Converting Enzyme inhibitor [ACEi] or Angiotensin-receptor blockers [ARB]. Secondary objective is to evaluate the change from baseline in Urine Albumin-to-Creatinine Ratio [UACR].
This is a study to develop a protocol on Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) for asthma-related anxiety that in a consecutive study can be translated to internet-delivered CBT.
