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 aim of this study is to contribute to a better understanding of how dietary fibre in rye affects appetite and metabolic processes. We will evaluate how the intake of rye crisp breads affects appetite, insulin secretion and glucose levels in the blood in healthy humans. We will also investigate microstructural properties of the crisp breads with microscopy, as well as to characterize the food products with respect to the content of dietary fibre and certain bioactive compounds. The aim is also to try to elucidate how observed effects on appetite are related to changes in insulin and glucose levels, appetite related hormonal signals and microstructural properties to verify findings from previous studies.
To evaluate if Internet delivered cognitive behavior therapy is an efficacious treatment when compared to a control group consisting of supportive therapy.
This is a study to evaluate how the body handles and metabolizes (PK) the various doses of the drug Tolvaptan, and what the effect (PD) of the various doses of Tolvaptan are on the content of "salt" in blood and urine
The present project is designed to test the hypothesis that arginase contributes to endothelial dysfunction induced by ischemia-reperfusion in patients with coronary artery disease.
Colonoscopy is a routinely performed examination of children and adolescents in the diagnostic process of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). It is necessary that the bowel is clean so the colonoscopy can be optimally performed. The cleansing of the bowel by means of laxatives prior to the examination is, however, considered difficult by many children. Getting smaller children to cooperate and to drink a substantial volume of laxative fluid prior to the examination can be particularly difficult. There are several possible cleansing procedures and combinations of procedures for the cleansing of the colon, for example by means of polyethylene glycol and sodium picosulphate, which are the two most commonly used methods. Cleansing by means of polyethylene glycol can, due to the necessary intake of a substantial quantity of fluid, be particularly frustrating for patients. Often the only way to carry out the preparation is with the insertion of a nasogastric tube, which can cause discomfort for some children. Cleansing the colon by means of sodium picosulphate, which involves an intake of a small quantity of fluid, has been suggested to be a good sufficient method resulting with a satisfactory result in terms of bowel cleanliness. However, studies have so far encompassed only a smaller number of children and further studies are needed to confirm that there is no difference between the two methods in terms of resultant bowel cleanliness. The purpose of this randomized controlled study is to compare preparation by means of polyethylene glycol and preparation with sodium picosulphate prior to colonoscopy in children. One hundred children scheduled for colonoscopy in southern Sweden will be randomized into either patient group 1 (for preparation with polyethylene glycol) or patient group 2 (for preparation with sodium picosulphate). For the random sampling, data-driven selection will be implemented. A CONSORT Flowchart (2012) will be encompassed by the study. To assess the cleanliness of the intestinal tract (and volume of fluid in the intestine), the Ottawa Scale will be used (Rostom & Jolicoeur, 2009). All colonoscopy examinations will be performed by the same paediatric gastroenterologist, to whom no information about which preparation method was used by each child will be disclosed. Furthermore, the gastroenterologist will, meet with the children first after the investigation has been completed. All information regarding the investigation will be given to the patient by the admitting physician. During the colonoscopy the gastroenterologist will evaluate the intestinal cleanliness and submit the reports in sealed coded envelopes to the nurse in charge of the patient.
To evaluate maintenance of efficacy based on time to relapse between SPD489 (50 or 70mg) and placebo, as measured by the number of binge days (defined as days during which at least 1 binge episode occurs) per week as assessed by clinical interview based on subject diary and Clinical Global Impression - Severity (CGI-S) scores for patients who responded to SPD489 by the end of the Open-label Treatment Phase.
A one year study assessing the efficacy and safety of secukinumab compared with placebo in adult patients with moderate to severe palmoplantar pustular psoriasis - amended with an optional extension treatment period of up to a total of 148 weeks
This global, multicenter, open-label, randomized, controlled study evaluated the efficacy and safety of atezolizumab (an anti-programmed death−ligand 1 [anti-PD-L1] antibody)compared with docetaxel in participants with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after failure with platinum-containing chemotherapy. Participants were randomized 1:1 to receive either docetaxel or atezolizumab. Treatment may continue as long as participants experienced clinical benefit as assessed by the investigator, i.e., in the absence of unacceptable toxicity or symptomatic deterioration attributed to disease progression.
The objective of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of 12 weeks once daily treatment with orally inhaled tiotropium + olodaterol FDC (delivered by the Respimat inhaler) compared with tiotropium and placebo in patients with COPD.
The purpose of this open-label, multicenter, randomized, Phase III study is to evaluate the benefit of venetoclax in combination with rituximab compared with bendamustine in combination with rituximab in participants with relapsed or refractory CLL. Participants will be randomly assigned in 1:1 ratio to receive either venetoclax + rituximab (Arm A) or bendamustine + rituximab (Arm B).
