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.
An open-label study using positionemissiontomography (PET) to explore the binding of AZD2115 and Tiotropium to muscarinic receptors in the lungs in healthy volunteers after inhalation.
The overall aim of this study is to investigate whether a diet rich in rye fiber from wholegrain rye, compared to refined wheat, as part of a hypocaloric diet leads to larger weight loss and lower body fat content after 12 weeks of intervention. Furthermore the study will investigate the effect on appetite as a potential underlying mechanism for differences in weight loss and body fat reduction.
The purpose of this study is to determine if AMG 334 is effective in treating migraines in patients who have failed other preventive migraine treatments.
The Clover trial is evaluating an investigational vaccine that may help to prevent Clostridium difficile infection. Participants in the study are adults 50 years of age and older, who are at risk of developing Clostridium difficile infection. The study will assess whether the vaccine prevents the disease, and whether it is safe and well tolerated. Each subject will receive 3 doses of Clostridium difficile vaccine or placebo and be followed for up to 3 years after vaccination for potential Clostridium difficile infection.
This study evaluates the predictive value of soluvent urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) and lactate with respect to serious conditions among patients presenting to the EMS with unspecific symptoms.
Early identification of potential risk factors for the onset of diabetic foot ulcers are recommended. However, in a Swedish context, there has been no standardised routines to be used in the foot screening procedure. In this study a new standardised routine, the D-Foot, will be tested at the Department of Prosthetics and Orthotics. The usability of the web program will be tested.
Physical inactivity is still a major public health problem. Active transportation i.e. walking or cycling for transport can contribute to greater total physical activity. The specific aim of this study is to evaluate if a 12-week mobile phone application can increase time spent in active transportation (cycling or walking) and in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity in Swedish adults aged 20-65 years.
The study objective of Period 1 was to compare the safety and efficacy of upadacitinib 15 mg once daily (QD) to abatacept on a background of conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (csDMARDs) for the treatment of signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (bDMARD)-inadequate response or bDMARD-intolerant participants with moderately to severely active RA. The study objective of Period 2 is to evaluate the long-term safety, tolerability, and efficacy of upadacitinib 15 mg QD in participants with RA who had completed Period 1.
This is a prospective, multicenter, open-label, single-arm, phase 3b study which evaluates effectiveness and safety of ocrelizumab in participants with early stage RRMS. The study will consist of an open-label treatment period of 192 weeks and follow-up period of at least 48 weeks. The optional shorter infusion substudy will evaluate the safety of a shorter infusion of ocrelizumab in a subgroup of participants with early stage RRMS enrolled in the main MA30143 study. Approximately 700 patients will be enrolled in the substudy, and will receive additional 600 mg ocrelizumab administered in a shorter time frame.
Nasal polyps (NP) has long been known as chronic inflammatory disease of the nasal mucosa. This disease is characterized by the presence of polyps in the upper nasal cavity, originating from within the ostiomeatal complex. The presence of polyps can cause long-term symptoms such as prominent nasal obstruction, post-nasal drip, loss of smell, and discharge. Mepolizumab (SB240563) is an Immunoglobulin G 1 [IgG1], kappa humanized monoclonal antibody (mAB) that blocks human interleukin-5 (hIL-5) from binding to the interleukin-5 (IL-5) receptor complex expressed on the eosinophil cell surface and thus inhibits signaling. Neutralization of IL-5 with mepolizumab has been shown to reduce blood, sputum and tissue eosinophils and hence is assumed to be a treatment option in a number of eosinophilic diseases including NP. The aim of this randomized, double-blind, parallel group, phase 3 (PhIII) study is to assess the clinical efficacy and safety of 100 milligram (mg) subcutaneous (SC) mepolizumab as an add on to maintenance treatment in adults with severe bilateral NP. The study will include a 4-week run in period followed by randomization to a 52-week treatment period. Participants will receive mepolizumab 100 mg or placebo SC by the investigator or delegate via a pre-filled safety syringe every 4 weeks for 52 weeks. Throughout the entire study period (run in + treatment period + follow up), participants will receive a standard of care (SoC) for NP which consists of daily mometasone furorate (MF) nasal spray, and if required, saline nasal douching, occasional short courses of high dose oral corticosteroids (OCS) and/or antibiotics. The treatment period will consist of thirteen, 4-weekly doses of mepolizumab or placebo. In addition, up to the first 200 randomized participants will be followed up every other month for up to a further 6 months after the Visit 15 (7 months post last dose) in order to assess maintenance of response and to validate a physiological model derived from the previous Phase 2 study. Approximately 400 participants will be randomized (200 participants per treatment arm) in to the study. Total duration of the study will be 76 weeks for first 200 randomized participants and 52 weeks for remainder of participants who are not participating in the 6 months no treatment follow up.
