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.
A randomized controlled trial to evaluate which treatment protocol in selective laser trabeculoplasty that is most optimal in terms of efficacy and safety.
Explorative investigation to study the effect of the endogenous bacterium Lactobacillus reuteri ATCC PTA 4659 as a nutrient additive against relapse in ulcerative colitis. Forty patients will be studied with a randomized parallel design over one year. Patients with established treatment against relapse of ulcerative colitis with mesalazine ≤4 grams will be requested to participate in the study, allocated to 20 patients with placebo and 20 with active treatment L. reuteri as an "add-on". Inklusion: 18-80 years of age, ≥1 relapse with bleeding during previous 12 months with a disease activity Mayo Clinical Score ≤2, treatment with mesalazine ≤4,0 g daily. Exklusion: >80 years of age, no registered bleeding during recent 12 months, on-going steroid treatment, immunosuppressives, biologics or adhesion inhibitors, antibiotics or other clinical trial. behandling med probiotika. Disease monitoring will be done with: Time to disease relapse with macroscopic bleeding and Mayo score ≥5, blood chemistry and CRP, lipopolysaccharides and gut permeability, fecal calprotectin, and short health scale at 4 weeks, 26 weeks and 52 weeks.
This study evaluates the potential benefits of spinal anaesthesia for nulliparous mothers scheduled for external version of babies in breech position.
This is a randomised controlled multi-centre trial comparing the effect of diet supplementation of a human breast milk-based nutrient fortifier (H2MF®) with standard bovine protein-based nutrient fortifier in 222 extremely preterm infants (born before gestational week 28+0) exclusively fed with human breast milk (own mother´s milk and/or donor milk). The infants will be randomised to receive either the human breast-milk based H2MF® or the standard bovine protein-based nutrient fortifier when oral feeds have reached <100 ml/kg/day. The randomised intervention, stratified by centre, will continue until the target gestational week 34+0. The infant must not be fed with formula during the intervention period. The allocation will be concealed before inclusion, but after randomisation the study is not blinded. Primary endpoint of the intervention is the composite variable necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), sepsis and mortality. The enrolled infants are characterised with clinical data including growth, feeding intolerance, use of enteral and parenteral nutrition, treatment, antibiotics and complications collected daily in a study specific case report form from birth until discharge from the hospital (not longer than gestational week 44+0). A follow up focusing on neurological development, growth and feeding problems will be performed at 2 years of age (corrected) and 5.5 years of age.
Optimal prescribing of antimicrobials is becoming increasingly challenging because of the growing complexity of guidelines and constantly changing distribution of infectious pathogens. Prescribing antimicrobials appropriately according to local guidelines optimizes therapy for the individual patient and reduces the emergence of resistance. By adapting and evaluating a smartphone based app containing local guidelines we aim to study appropriate prescribing of antimicrobials by physicians in three hospitals (Netherlands, Sweden and Switzerland).
Quizartinib is an experimental drug. It is not approved for regular use. It can only be used in medical research. Children or young adults with a certain kind of blood cancer (FLT3-ITD AML) might be able to join this study if it has come back after remission or is not responding to treatment.
In autoimmune adrenal insufficiency, or Addison's disease (AD), the immune system attacks the adrenal cortex. As a result, the adrenal cells producing hormones such as cortisol and aldosterone are destroyed, leaving the body with insufficient levels to meet its needs. The common perception is that upon diagnosis of Addison's disease, basically all adrenal hormone production has ceased. There have, however, been found a few individuals who preserve some residual secretion of cortisol even years after diagnosis. The objectives of this study is to find out how common it is, and to explore if residual function have impact on patient outcome. That is, do patients with and without residual function differ when it comes to quality of life, working ability, medication dosages, and risk of adrenal crisis?
Left ventricular dysfunction is common in the critically ill. The aim of this study is to assess the incidence and prognosis of left ventricular dysfunction in critically ill patients.
Proximal humeral fractures are common especially in the elderly population. The majority of these fractures are minimally displaced and may be treated non-operatively. There is however a controversy about which fractures that need surgery and randomised trials have not been able to show a clinically important advantage in patient reported outcome measures for those operated. The trend is therefore that also displaced and comminute fractures are treated non-operatively. There is however very little scientific support for how the non-operative treatment should be designed and performed. Therefore this prospective multicenter study is aiming at investigating the benefit of a four week immobilisation orthosis as compared to early range of motion exercises for those patients not assigned for surgery one week after the trauma.
In patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) that have undergone islet of Langerhans transplantation or are on the waiting list for transplantation, Ga-68-exendin PET imaging is performed to study the visualization of transplanted islet grafts in patients.
