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 measurement of cardiac output (CO) and hemodynamic pressures are vital for proper management of severely hemodynamic compromised patients. A new ultrasound dilution method (COstatus) for cardiac output measurement has been developed.
The objective of the study (part A) is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of BAY80-6946 in patients with indolent or aggressive Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, who have progressed after standard therapy. 30 patients will be enrolled to both indolent and aggressive disease group. The objective of the study part B (CHRONOS-1) is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of BAY80-6946 in patients with relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma. 120 patients will be enrolled in the part B of the study. Further objectives are to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and biomarkers. Quality of life will be a further objective of part B of the study. In a cohort of 20 patients (enrolled both in part A and B) an ECG substudy will be performed to assess the potential for cardiac toxicity and QT/QTc interval prolongation of BAY80-6946. After an up to 28-day screening period, eligible patients will start treatment with BAY80-6946 at a dose of 0.8 mg/kg (Part A) and at a dose of 60 mg (Part B). Treatment will be continued until disease has progressed or until another criterion is met for withdrawal from study. An end-of-treatment visit will be performed within 7 days after discontinuation of study treatment. Thirty to 35 days after last study drug administration, a safety followup visit will be performed for the collection of adverse events (AEs) and concomitant medication data. Patients will be contacted quarterly to determine overall survival status up to 4 years after last patient completed treatment. Patients who discontinue study drug for reasons other than disease progression will enter the Active Assessment Follow-up period. The end of study notification to Health Authorities will be based on the completion of the collection of survival data. The efficacy is measured by the decrease in tumor size. Tumor assessments will be done at Screening, every 8 weeks during Year 1, every 12 weeks during Year 2, and every 6 months during Year 3. Blood samples will be collected for pharmacokinetic analysis. Archival tumor tissue and blood samples will be collected for biomarker analysis (mandatory) and for central pathology review (part B), fresh biopsy tissue will also be collected if available.
The purpose of the REVERSE Post Approval Study (PAS) is to confirm the benefit observed in the REVERSE and RAFT pivotal studies in "real-world" clinical practice.
The primary objective of this study is to assess the relief of symptoms after Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) in patients with late radiation cystitis by having Expanded Prostate cancer Index Composite (EPIC)symptom estimation scale as primary variable. Study hypothesis: - HBOT can reduce or reverse the change or otherwise limit the damage of the bladder function and/or structure, which arose as a result of radiation therapy of cancer in the pelvic region organs. - The effects of HBOT are associated with relief of symptoms that, at least in part, is related to the reduction of the extent of the radiation damage. - Vascular density increases, fibrosis prevalence and inflammatory activity are reduced as a sign of an improved function of the mucosa. - Treatment results of HBOT remains, in whole or in part, during the follow-up (residual effect)
Hypothesis:Pharyngeal surgery (UPPP) reduces significantly the nightly respiratory breathing pauses (apnoeas-hypopnoeas) and improves the daytime symptoms compared to expectancy for 6 months in patients with OSAS. Background: Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is associated with an increased risk of poor sleep quality, excessive daytime sleepiness and prolonged reaction time, which can elevate the risk for traffic accidents. Increased morbidity and three to four times increased mortality in these patients are well documented, mainly in the cardiovascular field. Pharyngeal surgery, i.e. uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) opens up the airway and was the predominant treatment for OSAS worldwide before continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) devices became widely available in the 1990s. Since then, the main treatment for OSAS has been CPAP, but an increasing number of patients are also treated with mandibular retaining device (MRD). UPPP as treatment for OSAS has been performed for 30 years. The evidence-grade for the efficacy has so far been very low, and the side-effects and complication rate has raised the question whether there is a place for surgical treatment of OSAS. However, the compliance for CPAP and dental devices are quite low (50-60%), leaving a lot of patients untreated if surgery is not offered. RCT UPPP is still missing and called for.
The purpose of this uncontrolled pilot study is to develop and make an initial evaluation of a new treatment manual for treatment of ADHD in adults. The objectives in the treatment is to build relational skills, skills in organizing and structuring everyday life, handle difficult emotions and impulses etc. The treatment will be in a group format and it is hypothesized that the psychological intervention will result in reduced ADHD symptoms and to decreased experience of stress and depressive symptoms. The uncontrolled design does not allow for any causal inferences from the results, this pilot study is primarily to be seen as a preparation before a subsequent RCT.
The main goal of this phase III clinical trial is to show safety and efficacy of Oleogel-S10 in the acceleration of wound healing of grade 2a burn wounds.
This study aim to assess quality of life of patients 0-5 years after oesophageal or gastric cancer surgery and to develop and test an information and support program aiming to enhance the patients quality of life (QOL) after surgery. The project contains 3 part-studies focusing on the patients life after surgery. Data will be collected through focus group interviews and a randomized controlled trial (RCT) study.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of NRL001 in the treatment of faecal incontinence, compared against placebo
The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical effectiveness of protocol-driven cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for insomnia delivered by ordinary primary care personnel (primary care nurses and social workers) in general medical practice with unselected patients, in line with a stepped care approach. The study design was a randomised controlled parallel group design, with allocation to CBT and waiting list control group (WL). Following an active treatment-control period, the control group were re-assigned to CBT. The study hypothesis was that the CBT group would experience less symptoms of insomnia after treatment compared with the WL group. Primary outcome measure was a brief self-report screening form, Insomnia severity index.
