There are about 8473 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.
In people with type 2 diabetes (T2D), the body makes insulin, but cannot use it well. This results in high blood sugar levels causing damage to the blood vessels inside the kidneys. High blood pressure is a common condition that can cause damage to the blood vessels and heart if it is untreated. High blood pressure is also known as hypertension. Patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) or high blood pressure are at a higher risk of having chronic kidney disease (CKD). In people with CKD, the kidneys become damaged and do not work as they should. Over time, the function of the kidney declines more, and this can lead to the requirement for dialysis or kidney transplantation. Most people with CKD are also at risk of heart conditions, such as heart attack or stroke. In this trial, the researchers want to learn if BAY2327949 reduces the amount of protein in the participants' urine. Protein in the urine is one of the signs of CKD. The researchers will compare the effects of BAY2327949 to a placebo. A placebo looks like the study drug but does not have any medicine in it. BAY2327949 is assumed to increase the blood flow through the kidneys, which may slow down the worsening of the disease. The researchers will use a placebo to learn if the changes seen in the participants are due to BAY2327949 or if the results could be due to chance. This trial will include about 120 men and women over the age of 45 who have CKD. The participants will have T2D or high blood pressure, and a further disease of the heart or blood vessels. During the trial, the participants will take either BAY2327949 or a placebo once a day for 28 days. The participants will visit their trial site about 9 times during the trial, and need to provide urine samples to check the participants' CKD symptoms. At the visits, the doctors will ask them if they have any health problems. They will also take blood samples to perform laboratory assessments.
A randomized controlled clinical trial. 24 adult ICU patients will be recruited upon decision to administer fluid bolus of 500ml of crystalloid. The fluid will then be randomized to be infused at controlled room temperature or warmed to body temperature. Hemodynamic measurements will be made for 2 hours following the bolus, and laboratory values will be noted. The hypothesis is that part of the hemodynamic response will differed in response to cooling, and be larger in the cold group.
Benzodiazepines and benzodiazepine-like hypnotics (z-drugs) are prevalent and addictive narcotics. Guidelines recommend restricted prescription of these drugs for anxiety and insomnia. The majority of benzodiazepine prescriptions are written for these disorders by physicians (GPs) in primary health care. Primary health care is thus an important arena for efforts to reduce access to benzodiazepines in order to lower the number of new users and users at risk of dependency. This trial evaluates whether a brief educational intervention in primary health care followed by 12 months of feedback on prescription data changes the prescription of benzodiazepines and benzodiazepine-like hypnotics.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the role of neoadjuvant immunotherapy and to demonstrate high pathologic complete response (pCR) and near pCR rates in melanoma participants with clinically detectable nodal disease and a high risk of recurrence. Neoadjuvant immunotherapy aims to enhance the systemic T-cell response to tumor antigens while detectable tumor is still present, inducing a stronger and broader tumor-specific immune response. Of the neoadjuvant approaches studied within melanoma, the neoadjuvant combination of nivolumab and ipilimumab has demonstrated high pCR and near pCR rates that may translate to prolonged clinical benefit.
This study compares the effect and safety of 2 dose schedules for semaglutide (study medicine) in people with type 2 diabetes previously treated with a diabetes medicine similar to semaglutide. The study will also evaluate the use of a new pen-injector for semaglutide used to inject medicine under the skin, at a new dose of 2 mg. People taking part in the study will take this medicine together with their current diabetes tablets other than semaglutide. Participants will either get a start dose of 0.25 mg semaglutide or 0.50 mg semaglutide, and the dose will be gradually increased to 2.0 mg semaglutide - which treatment is decided by chance. Participants will inject semaglutide under the skin once a week, any time of the day. When the dose reaches 2.0 mg semaglutide, participants will inject the medicine with a new type of pen-injector. The study will last for about 24 weeks. Participants will have 9 visits and 1 phone call with the study doctor. At 9 visits participants will have blood taken and at 2 visits they will have eye examination done. Women cannot take part if pregnant, breast-feeding or planning to become pregnant during the study period. Women who are able to get pregnant will be checked 10 times for pregnancy via urine tests.
To evaluate if surgical removal of residual disease adds benefit in stage IV melanoma patients with partial response or stable disease after a minimum 9 months of first-line PD-1 inhibition. Primary endpoint: Disease-free survival (DFS) at 12 months.
This pivotal multicenter study has been launched to collect spectral Raman data paired with validated glucose reference values in diabetic patients.
Total lumbar disc replacement has previously been compared to posterior fusion of the lumbar spine, showing some favor towards total disc replacement. The study aims to compare total disc replacement to anterior fusion, sparing the muscles of the back and thus comparing the two different methods using the same surgical approach.
A clinical trial comparing laser treatment and conventional mucosal flap surgery for treatment of peri-implantitis. The main aim of the study is to evaluate if treatment of peri-implantitis with a novel blue laser (445 nm) combined with scaling and root planning (SRP) is clinically comparable to conventional mucosal flap surgery in terms of pocket probing depth reduction.
The objective of the present study is to investigate accuracy of changes in cardiac output following passive leg raising as estimated by transthoracic ultrasound as method to predict fluid responsiveness and compare that to changes in cardiac output following PLR as estimated by calibrated pulse contour analysis as method to predict fluid responsiveness in patients with septic shock.
