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 objective is to investigate the Clinical, Radiographic, Roentgen Stereophotogrammetric behaviour and patient outcome when using the Triathlon total knee prosthesis in a prospective randomized clinical trial.
This study on women with breast cancer during and after chemo- and hormonal therapy compares the effect of different physical training programs on physical and mental well-being and systemic inflammation mechanisms in blood. In a sub-group of participants, mitochondrial biogenesis and function and other molecular processes in skeletal muscle biopsies are studied. The women will be randomly allocated into three different intervention arms, a control arm with usual care and two different training arms. All participants will respond to questionnaires and have blood samples and taken and for a subgroup muscle biopsies before and after the exercise intervention. Participants will be supported to uphold exercise through collaboration with Friskis & Svettis and followed for 5 years. Some of the women will also be asked to participate in an in depth interview about the experiences of exercise during ongoing treatment. This study will contribute to increased knowledge about the type, intensity and frequency of training that patients with breast cancer benefit most from with regards to impact on physical and mental wellbeing. This knowledge is of great importance since experience shows that patients and relatives often seek information about rehabilitation, self-care and physical activity. The study will also contribute to the improvement of the patients´ quality of life, ability to return to work, and reduce social costs, but above all, increase the possibility for development and implementation of evidence-based rehabilitation of women with breast cancer during and after active treatment.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic disease that affects ~1% of the population. A large proportion of patients with established disease have persistent high disease activity in spite of existing effective pharmacological treatment. Improved treatment is thus urgently needed, including alternative treatments in addition to optimal pharmacological therapy. The main purpose of this study is to investigate if a high intake of blue mussel (Mytilus Edulis) could decrease inflammation and disease activity in patients with established RA. A secondary goal is to identify novel biomarkers for blue mussel intake and metabolic responses to this diet, using a metabolomics approach with high sensitivity and specificity. A third goal is to look at genetic polymorphisms in relation to long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFA) and inflammatory markers.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and safety from the mixture of daratumumab and rHuPH20 prepared immediately before administration via Subcutaneous (SC) delivery (Part 1) and CF (co-formulated daratumumab and rHuPH20 preparation) administration via SC delivery of daratumumab (Part 2) and to evaluate the safety of Dara-CF 1800 milligram (mg) SC delivery without pre-dose and post-dose corticosteroids (Part 3).
Gender dysphoria (DSM-5) or transsexualism (ICD10) is a condition in which a person's feeling of gender identity is not congruent with the physical body. The hormonal treatment includes inhibition of one's own sex hormone production followed by treatment with testosterone or estrogen levels that are normal for the opposite sex. Seen as experimental model, this is a process that provides an opportunity to study the sex hormone dependent influences that explain differences in morbidity in men and women respectively. The differences that are especially significant but not well known is 1) metabolic changes in the regulation of glucose homeostasis and lipid metabolism 2) regulation of vascular function and structural effects on the heart and arteries 3) regulation of skeletal muscle mass and fat tissue 4) morphological and functional effects on discrete areas of the brain. Therefore, the investigators will follow these patients for a year to study how the heart, blood vessels, brain, and risk factors for cardiovascular disease affected by altered sex hormone patterns and studying what happens in the muscles and fat in both the short and long term with respect to particular gene expression and epigenetic changes and link it to metabolic changes and body composition.
MSC2490484A or M3814 is an investigational drug that is being evaluated for the treatment of subjects with locally advanced tumors. The main purposes of this study are to determine the safety, the tolerability and the efficacy of MSC2490484A in combination with radiotherapy and in combination with chemoradiotherapy (Radiotherapy + cisplatin).
The purpose of this study is to compare pharmacokinetics of two formulations of misoprostol following single dose administration in adult women being given misoprostol for cervical ripening and induction of labour.
SF-C002 is a pilot study in patients with newly diagnosed NSCLC suffering from involuntary weight loss. The study is 12 weeks, double-blinded, placebo controlled and the main objective is to study the safety and tolerability of Nutrifriend Cachexia.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of an alternative dose of ramucirumab in combination with paclitaxel in participants with second-line metastatic or locally advanced, unresectable gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma (GEJ).
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of lumacaftor in combination with ivacaftor in subjects aged 6 Through 11 years with cystic fibrosis (CF), homozygous for the F508del CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) mutation
