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.
Many patients with CLL have a weakened immune system due to their disease. It increases their risk of developing serious, treatment-requiring infections such as blood poisoning or pneumonia, which in the worst case may end with fatal outcomes. Serious infections due to CLL are responsible for one third of all deaths among CLL patients. PreVent-ACaLL study will investigate whether a combination of two known types of cancer drugs can reduce the risk of infection and thus mortality when given preventively to newly diagnosed CLL patients. A newly developed register-based computer model can predict which patients are at high risk in order to develop infections as a result of their CLL. A preventive treatment might be initiated before patients need chemotherapy. In this way, the cancer disease might be "reset" so that the immune system, which is inhibited by CLL, is restored and the risk of fatal infections is minimized.
This is a Phase II open, randomized, active comparator-controlled multi center study in patients with severe type-1 diabetes. This is a two-armed study where patients are randomized in a 2:1 ratio between IBsolvMIR and heparin. Eighteen patients are planned to be included. The study consists of up to 8 visits; screening, transplantation surgery with bolus administration of study drug or active comparator, IBsolvMIR doses on day 1, 3 and 6 after surgery, follow up visits on day 7 and 14, and follow-up phone call on day 44. The primary endpoint is to study AEs up to 44 days following study drug administration. The secondary endpoints are to evaluate changes in TAT, C-peptide, C3a and HGF at baseline and during the first 24 hours after study drug administration, as well as evaluate a change in levels of C-peptide-glucose-creatinine ratio on day 14 compared to baseline.
This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of pembrolizumab (MK-3475) versus placebo as adjuvant therapy in participants with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and complete radiological response after surgical resection or local ablation. The primary hypotheses of this study are that adjuvant pembrolizumab is superior to placebo with respect to: 1) recurrence-free survival (RFS) as assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR); and 2) overall survival (OS).
Patients with traveller's diarrhoea frequently harbour Extended Spectrum Betalactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae (EPE) returning from EPE-endemic areas. This study investigates to what extent travellers returning to Sweden with traveller's diarrhoea carry ESBL in their stool. The isolates are examined further according to species, phenotype, antibiogram and whole genome sequencing.
The EPSONIP (Evaluating Prevalence and Severity Of NAFLD In Primary care) trial is a longitudinal cohort study of patients with T2DM recruited from primary health care centers in Östergötland, Sweden. The latest MRI techniques will be used to quantify the amount of hepatic fat, inflammation, liver fibrosis and body composition. Each patient will be investigated twice with three years apart to determine patients with progressive disease.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of patisiran in participants with hereditary transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis (hATTR amyloidosis) with disease progression after liver transplant.
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of PF-06838435 (a gene therapy drug) in adult male participants with moderately severe to severe hemophilia B (participants that have a Factor IX circulating activity of 2% or less). The gene therapy is designed to introduce genetic material into cells to compensate for missing or non-functioning Factor IX. Eligible study participants will have completed a minimum 6 months of routine Factor IX prophylaxis therapy during the lead in study (C0371004). Participants will be dosed once (intravenously) and will be evaluated over the course of 6 years. The main objective of the study will evaluate the annualized bleeding rate [ABR] for participants treated with gene therapy versus standard of care (SOC) therapy (FIX prophylaxis replacement regimen).
Patients with a primary invasive melanoma are recommended to undergo excision of the primary lesion with a wide margin. There is evidence that less radical margins of excision may be just as safe. This is a randomised controlled trial of 1 cm versus 2 cm margin of excision of the primary lesion for adult patients with stage II primary invasive cutaneous melanomas (AJCC 8th edition) to determine differences in disease-free survival. A reduction in margins is expected to improve patient quality of life.
Primary Objective: Evaluate the anti-leukemic activity of isatuximab in combination with standard chemotherapies in pediatric participants of ages 28 days to less than 18 years with Relapsed/Refractory Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) or Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) Secondary Objectives: - Safety and tolerability assessments - Assessment of infusion reactions (IRs) - Pharmacokinetics (PK) of isatuximab - Minimal residual disease - Overall response rate - Overall survival - Event free survival - Duration of response - Relationship between clinical effects and CD38 receptor density and occupancy
The SALSTER study is a register-based randomized clinical trial (R-RCT) that examines if laparoscopic salpingectomy instead of tubal ligation, as a contraceptive method, has no increased risk for complications and has no negative impact on ovarian function.
