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.
Critically ill patients with spontaneously prolonged pro-thrombin time, where administration of intravenous administration of phytomenadione (vitamin K) has been ordered by the treating physician will be identified. After signed informed consent baseline samples will be collected. Phytomenadione will be given and 24 hours after administration new blood samples will be collected. Several different advanced coagulation and vitamin K-assays will be performed before and 24 hours after vitamin K administration.
This is a 24-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intranasal administration of 186 and 372 μg twice daily (BID) of OPN-375 in subjects with chronic rhinosinusitis (CS) with or without nasal polyps.
Acute facial nerve palsy occur in 10-20/100 000 children/year in Sweden. About 20 % of these children will have persistent symptoms with excessive tear secretion, drooling and social problems due to asymmetry in the face. Studies on cortisone treatment to adult patients with acute facial nerve palsy have shown beneficial effects, but no studies with strong quality have been performed in children. Investigators will perform a double-blind randomized placebo-controlled multicenter trial on children with acute facial nerve palsy. Participants will be recruited consecutively at 9-12 study centers in Sweden during 2019-2020. Oral cortisone (prednisolone) 1 mg/kg x 1 in 10 days (or placebo) will be started on admission. Clinical data, including recovery will be followed-up until 12 months. The primary outcome is defined as total recovery of the facial nerve palsy, measured with the House-Brackmann scale (grade 1) at 12-months follow-up. The overall purpose is to assess the utility of cortisone treatment given to children with acute facial nerve palsy in this study. If the total recovery rate is significantly improved in the prednisolone group as compared to the placebo group, prednisolone treatment will be introduced in clinical practice for children with acute facial nerve palsy in order to reduce the risk of persistent symptoms.
Venous thromboembolism is a common and serious complication in cancer, and is associated with a substantially increased morbidity and mortality. Furthermore, VTE may be the earliest sign of cancer. Recent studies, however, fail to show a clinical benefit of extended cancer screening in this patient population. Better risk prediction models are therefore warranted to identify VTE patients who would benefit from a rapid and extensive cancer screening. Inflammation and hypercoagulability are considered hallmarks of cancer, and emerging light is being shed on the potential of various markers of inflammation and coagulation in cancer diagnostics and prognostics. Among the inflammatory and thrombotic processes linked to cancer is the neutrophil release of web-like nuclear chromatin (DNA and histones), referred to as neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). Driven by the tumor environment, NETs have recently been shown to play a central role in tumor progression, metastasis, and tumor-associated thrombosis. The investigators hypothesize that an enhanced inflammatory state may be predictive of an underlying cancer in patients presenting with VTE. The present study is an ongoing prospective study with the primary aim to investigate the diagnostic potential of markers of inflammation, including markers of NETs, in detecting occult cancer in patients presenting with VTE. Secondary aims are to include other biomarkers of cancer, and to assess whether any or a combination of these biomarkers may be prognostic of occult cancer, recurrent thrombotic events, mortality, or cancer disease progression in VTE patients with an underlying malignancy.
The purpose of this study was to assess the safety and tolerability of ABBV-951 (Foslevodopa/Foscarbidopa) in participants with Parkinson's disease (PD). This was a single-arm study with preplanned analyses conducted by dose subgroup (Low Dose or High Dose) based on the modal total daily dose (most frequent dose) over the treatment period.
This was a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group, dose-ranging study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of botulinum toxin type A (AGN-151607) injections into the epicardial fat pads, foci of ganglionic plexi, to prevent Post-Operative Atrial Fibrillation (POAF) in patients undergoing open-chest cardiac surgery.
To assess the safety of a single dose of IV infusion of bone-marrow derived autologous Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) with progressive disease status.
This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of combination therapy of lenvatinib (E7080/MK-7902) and pembrolizumab following approximately 2 years of pembrolizumab therapy and approximately 2 years or more lenvatinib therapy in adult participants with unresectable or advanced melanoma who have been exposed to anti-PD-1/L1 agents approved for unresectable or metastatic melanoma. No statistical hypothesis will be tested in this study.
The objective of this non-interventional long-term follow-up observation is to evaluate the long-term sustainability of two surgical treatments of peri-implantitis with and without Geistlich Bio-Oss® and Geistlich Bio-Gide® from a previous study
This study is an extension to the HP-CD-CL-2002 clinical study. It evaluates the long-term safety and tolerability of CDNF in patients with Parkinson's disease when dosed directly into the brain using an implanted investigational drug delivery system (DDS). Long-term safety of the DDS is also being evaluated. All patients will receive monthly infusions of either mid- or high-dose of CDNF for a period of 6 months.
