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 purpose of this study is to determine whether botulinum toxin A (BTX) adds a favourable effect to treatment of idiopathic toe-walking with below knee walking casts. The specific hypothesis to be tested is that a combination of BTX and casting is more effective than casting treatment alone in reducing toe-walking in 5-15 year old children. Evaluation methods include 3-D gait analysis, parents' perception of toe-walking frequency, passive joint range of motion measurements, and strength of ankle dorsal extension.
This is a multi-centre, multi-national, prospective, observational study of Huntington's disease (HD) with a control group of volunteers to: - obtain natural history data on many HD mutation carriers and individuals who are part of an HD family - relate phenotypical characteristics (genetic modifiers / wet and dry biomarkers) - expedite identification and recruitment of participants for clinical trials - develop and validate sensitive and reliable outcome measures for detecting onset and change over the natural course of premanifest and manifest HD which may also be potential outcome measures for use in future clinical trials and clinical care - plan for future research studies
This single-arm, open-label, multicenter extension study will provide continued bevacizumab therapy to participants with solid tumors who were previously enrolled in a Roche/Genentech sponsored study and who derived benefit from the bevacizumab therapy. Participants will receive the same dose and regimen of bevacizumab as used in the previous parent trial and continue this treatment until progression of disease or unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent or death whichever occurs first.
Hormonal disturbances in the GH-IGF-I axis are considered important for the deterioration of glycemic control in T1DM particularly in adolescents. In addition it may have direct implications on the development of insulin resistance and long-term complications. The Investigators hypothesis is that low circulating IGF-I and compensatory hyper-secretion of GH, in the presence of peripheral insulin excess, results in increased local IGF-I expression explaining both the deterioration in metabolic control and the increased risk for microvascular complications. Correction of imbalance in circulating and tissue-specific levels of IGF-I could lead to both better early metabolic control and to prevention of early diabetic complications in type 1 diabetic (T1DM) patients. Aim of the present study is to validate the microdialysis technique as a useable tool to predict local biological effects of IGF-1 and to understand the pharmacokinetics of local IGF-I actions after sc injection of Increlex in type 1 diabetic patients.
This is a four-week, Phase IIa, randomized, active-controlled, parallel-group, multi-center study to evaluate the safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetics of switching subjects from stable rhEPO to GSK1278863 in approximately 68 hemodialysis-dependent subjects with anemia associated with chronic kidney disease. The study consists of a screening phase of 2 weeks, a 4-week treatment phase and a 2-week follow-up phase. The range of Hgb values for study eligibility is 9.5-12.0 g/dL and the subjects must have received the same rhEPO product with total weekly doses that varied by no more than 50% during the 4 weeks prior to the Screening visit (Week -1. This study aims to estimate the relationship between dose of GSK1278863 and Hgb response in hemodialysis-dependent (HDD) subjects with anemia associated with chronic kidney disease after switching from a stable maintenance dose of recombinant human erythropoetin (rhEPO).
A Topical Treatment Optimisation Programme (TTOP) has been developed by the sponsor together with Patient Boards and an Expert Advisory Board to overcome non-adherence problems.
In a randomized control trial conducted in six study centers/labour wards in Sweden, consenting nulliparous women in active phase of labour and with a defined delayed labour progress will be randomized to receive a regimen of either high or low dose of oxytocin. Primary outcome is caesarean delivery rate. Secondary outcomes are: Apgar score, need of neonatal intensive care, hyper-stimulation of contractions, spontaneous vaginal birth rate, length of labour, postpartum haemorrhage, sphincter lacerations, experienced labour pain, epidural analgesia and the women´s childbirth experience one month postpartum (assessed with Childbirth Experience Questionnaire). Study results will contribute to establish good evidence-based routines regarding oxytocin treatment of delayed labour progress.
The overall aim of the PregMet 2 Study is to investigate whether metformin prevents late miscarriages and preterm deliveries in PCOS women treated with metformin from first trimester of pregnancy to delivery in a large, randomized, controlled, multi-centre trial setting. The investigators hypothesis is that metformin compared to placebo treatment from the first trimester to term, reduces the prevalence of late miscarriage (gestational week 13-22) and preterm birth (gestational week < 37) in PCOS women diagnosed according to Rotterdam 2003 consensus criteria, with singleton pregnancy.
The purpose of the study was to investigate the efficacy of intake of whey or soy protein isolates, respectively, with or without supplementation of amino acids, on post-meal insulin secretion and glycaemic regulation. Additionally, the effect on plasma amino acids, gut hormones and ghrelin in plasma, as well as subjective satiety was investigated.
This is a three armed prospective randomized trial that will compare two different surgical techniques for reconstruction of the abdominal wall diastasis with a conservative treatment procedure. The study hypothesis: Which surgical approach provides the safest and best long term results for patients with abdominal wall diastasis either the insertion of net alternative with a double row suture or exercise alone?
