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 purposes of the study is to investigate whether circulating levels of ghrelin decreases after an iv injection of GnRH in girls with suspected central premature puberty and to investigate the effects of different post sampling handling on the preservation of acylated ghrelin.
This study is a post-market clinical follow-up study to fulfill the post-market surveillance obligations according to Medical Device Directive and MEDDEV 2.12-2_Rev2_January 2012. The data collected from this study will serve the purpose of confirming safety and performance of the TM Ardis implant. The goal of this study is to demonstrate that implant is effective in reducing patient disability.
The main objective is to investigate gut microflora composition in relation to cardiometabolic risk markers, and to investigate the effects of 3 days intervention with a barley kernel based product on these variables.
The number of people with of asthma and allergy is still increasing and a large number of patients still do not have their asthma well controlled. There is therefore a need for new asthma treatments that work well and have less side effects. The study compares a new experimental drug RPL554 with a marketed asthma drug (salbutamol) and placebo.
This multicenter, randomized, double-blind study evaluated the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of atezolizumab (MPDL3280A) administered with nab-paclitaxel compared with placebo in combination with nab-paclitaxel in participants with locally advanced or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) who have not received prior systemic therapy for metastatic breast cancer (mBC). The safety of single-agent nab-paclitaxel has been determined in previous studies of participants with mBC and the safety data to date suggest that atezolizumab can be safely combined with standard chemotherapy agents.
International clinical trial to compare ponesimod and teriflunomide in relapsing multiple sclerosis
Aim The overall aim with this study is to improve outcome after inguinal hernia repair (IHR). It is not known today if a re-operation due to recurrence after bi-layer mesh IHR is more complicated than compared with the golden standard method. Method This project is a registry study. The National hernia register (Svenskt bråckregister, SBR) which started in 1992 include data that cover nearly 100% of all the country's hernia operations. Patient data are collected from SBR. Patients who at the time of surgery were between 18-75 years of age and operated on due to primary inguinal hernia with any of the two mentioned techniques between 1992-2012 are eligible
Allergen-specific immunotherapy (ASIT) is commonly used to treat patients with allergic rhino-conjunctivitis and asthma, and it is the only proven treatment that affects the long-term development of allergic rhinitis and asthma. The current treatment regime of ASIT requires numerous subcutaneous allergen injections and takes several years to complete. Hence, there is a need to develop more convenient protocols for induction of allergen tolerance. Emerging evidence suggest that by targeting of antigen presenting cells within the lymph nodes the immunogenicity of the allergen can be enhanced and the number of injections can be reduced. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether intralymphatic administration of ASIT is a safe and effective treatment for patients with pollen-induced allergic rhinitis. The long term goal is to provide a base for a more efficient administration of ASIT, which will reduce both the dose necessary and the number of clinic visits associated with the conventional subcutaneous ASIT. The investigators will make an attempt to reproduce the results of a recent human study of intralymphatic ASIT (clinicaltrials.gov; NCT00470457) in a Swedish clinical setting. The first part of the study is completed and published (PMID: 23374268)
The main aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of adding ribociclib to fulvestrant in men and postmenopausal women with hormone receptor positive (HR+), HER2-negative advanced breast cancer.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of switching elderly participants with treatment-resistant depression (TRD) from a prior antidepressant treatment (to which they have not responded) to either intranasal esketamine plus a new oral antidepressant or switching to a new oral antidepressant plus intranasal placebo.
