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.
Following stroke, a recovery process is promptly initiated, which leads to a partial rehabilitation. However, a number of disabling residual symptoms may persist for years and include mental fatigue, depression, cognitive deficits, neurological problems and more. In the lack of an effective treatment these symptoms will lead to major consequences for the individual and the surrounding society. OSU6162 has in earlier clinical studies of stroke patients shown evidence of a favorable effect on residual symptoms, especially mental fatigue, together with a mild side effect profile. In this phase II, randomized, placebo-controlled, two-armed study, a 16 week OSU6162 treatment will be compared to an equally long placebo treatment in patients with residual symptoms following stroke.
A study that is blinded to the patient and the investigator where the combination of Arfolitixorin + 5-FU is compared to Calciumfolinate + 5-FU. The patients will be randomised and will receive the above described combination as IV bolus injections, peroperatively in conjuction with collection of the first tissue sample. A low dose (30 mg) and a high dose (120) mg of Arfolitixorin will be used in order to investigate the relation between dose of Arfolitixorin and TS-inhibition.
Study objectives: Immunity, Inflammation, and Brain Function To determine the effect of supplements with probiotics, Omega-3 and Vitamin D on the inflammatory marker highly sensitive CRP (primary outcome), markers of inflammation (secondary outcome), and gastrointestinal barrier function (secondary outcome) in elderly and obese cohorts that exhibit elevated inflammation at baseline. Mobility To determine the effect of supplements with probiotics, Omega-3 and Vitamin D on joints, bones, and muscles by means of the WOMAC questionnaire, sit/stand test (muscle function) and CTX-I (cartilage degradation) as secondary endpoints in elderly and obese cohorts that exhibit elevated inflammation at baseline.
B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) is a target present on tumor cells in participants with multiple myeloma. Belantamab mafodotin (GSK2857916); is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) containing humanized anti-BCMA monoclonal antibody (mAb). This is a phase I/II, randomized, open-label, platform study designed to evaluate the effects of belantamab mafodotin in combination with other anti-cancer drugs in participants with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. The Platform design incorporates a single master protocol, where multiple treatment combinations, as sub-studies, will be evaluated simultaneously.
Study objectives To establish whether an oral intake of Capsicum oleoresin; capsaicinoids expressed as 0.4 mg capsaicin (C18H27N03; Mw: 305.4) in each capsule (from chili extract) can desensitise the cough reflex and improve unexplained coughing. Study period - Estimated Start date (first patient enrolled) June 2019 - Estimated End date (last patient completed follow up) June 2020 - First data available for presentation September 2020 Investigational product/comparator The formulation is prepared from Capsicum oleoresin. Each capsule will contend a dose corresponding to 0.4 mg capsaicin. All test methods are as per the European Pharmacopoeia for Capsicum oleoresin refined and standardised. - The formulation is developed by Research Institutes of Sweden (RISE), Sodertalje, Sweden - Supplier of raw material for the Capsicum oleoresin product/IMP: RANSOM; Ltd, London, UK - Producer of capsules with Capsicum oleoresin and placebo: by Catalent Pharma Solutions, St Petersburg, Florida, USA - Packing bottles of capsules with the investigational medical product (IMP) and placebo: by Apotek Produktion & Laboratorier AB (APL), Stockholm, Sweden Study design Capsules, taken orally, with standardised doses of Capsicum oleoresin corresponding to 0.4 mg pure capsaicin (from chili extract) in each capsule in comparison to matched capsules with placebo (sorbitol and colorant), all capsules looking the same. Four weeks of active treatment is compared to four weeks of placebo. In between there is a wash out period of two weeks. The time frame is 24 hours + 10 weeks. During the first 24 hours the patients carry a cough recorder (Leicester Cough Monitor - LCM) and then start with 4 weeks of active treatment or placebo. This is followed by 2 weeks of wash out and then the patients start with another 4 weeks of active treatment or placebo. After this the study ends.

Associate professor Alastair Ross,PhD, Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden. Study center and number of subjects planned All clinical trials take place at the asthma and allergy clinic, Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Gothenburg, Sweden from where 60 patients with chronic idiopathic cough (CIC) are recruited.
The central hypothesis of ROMA:Women is that the use of multiple arterial grafting (MAG) will improve clinical outcomes and quality of life (QOL) compared to single arterial grfating (SAG). The specific aims of ROMA:Women are: Aim 1: Determine the impact of MAG vs SAG on major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events in women undergoing coronary artery bypass grfating (CABG). The investigators will compare major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (death, stroke, non-procedural myocardial infarction, repeat revascularization, and hospital readmission for acute coronary syndrome or heart failure) in a cohort of 2,000 women randomized 1:1 to MAG or SAG (690 from the parent ROMA trial + 1,310 from ROMA:Women). Differences by important clinical and surgical subgroups (patients younger or older than 70 years, diabetics, racial and ethnic minorities, on vs off pump CABG, type of arterial grafts used) will also be evaluated. The women enrolled in the ongoing ROMA trial (anticipated to be approximately 690) will be included in ROMA:Women, increasing efficiency and reducing enrollment time. Hypothesis 1.0. MAG will reduce the incidence of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events. Hypothesis 1.1. The improvement with MAG will be consistent across key subgroups. Aim 2: Determine the impact of MAG vs SAG on generic and disease-specific QOL, physical and mental health symptoms in women undergoing CABG. The investigators will compare generic (SF-12, EQ-5D) and disease-specific (Seattle Angina Questionnaire) QOL and physical and mental health symptoms (PROMIS-29) in a sub-cohort of 500 women randomized 1:1 to MAG or SAG (including those enrolled in ROMA:QOL). Differences by important subgroups (as defined above) will also be evaluated. Hypothesis 2.0. MAG will improve generic and disease-specific QOL compared to SAG. Hypothesis 2.1. MAG will improve physical and mental health symptoms compared to SAG. Hypothesis 2.2. The improvement with MAG will be consistent across key subgroups.
This study aims to evaluate safety and effect of combining an oncolytic adenovirus (delolimogene mupadenorepvec; LOAd703) with atezolizumab in patients with melanoma. LOAd703 will be administered intratumorally for up to 12 injections while atezolizumab will be administered intravenously for the duration of the active study visits (up to 57 weeks). The patients are then monitored for survival for maximum study participation of 48 months. The treatments will be given every 3 weeks. The patients will then be monitored for toxicity, PK, ADA, immune responses, virus shedding, tumor response by RECIST 1.1 and survival.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of treatment with olaparib (MK-7339) in combination with pembrolizumab (MK-3475) in adults with previously treated, advanced (metastatic and/or unresectable) Homologous Recombination Repair Mutation (HRRm) and/or Homologous Recombination Deficiency (HRD)-positive solid tumors.
A cross-sectional study (N=400) will investigate the prevalence of symptom preoccupation and its role in AF-related disability. Subjectively-rated assessments will be gathered from 400 AF patients.
The main purpose of the study is to conduct an initial feasibility evaluation of the new Internet-based EAET treatment manual. We will include 50 patients with somatic symptom disorder to take part of the treatment for nine weeks through the Internet. A within-subject design will be used. Self-report measures of symptom level and mechanisms of change will be conducted weekly. Feedback on content, process and potential caveats will be collected using surveys and written evaluations from the participants at post-treatment. Linear mixed models will be used to investigate trajectories of change in symptoms and processes.
