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.
Alirocumab (SAR236553/REGN727) is a fully human monoclonal antibody that binds PCSK9 (proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9). Primary Objective of the study: To evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of alirocumab in high cardiovascular risk participants with hypercholesterolemia not adequately controlled with their current lipid modifying therapy (LMT). Secondary Objectives: - To evaluate the effect of alirocumab on low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels after 24 weeks of treatment in comparison with placebo. - To evaluate the effect of alirocumab in comparison with placebo on LDL-C at other time points. - To evaluate the effects of alirocumab on other lipid parameters.
Racemic ketamine and S-ketamine are used in clinical practice today. Little is known of their difference in effect on cerebral blood flow, volume and metabolism. cerebral blood flow (CBF) measuring techniques are limited in time so constant measurement to mirror a dynamic process is impossible or very difficult. A novel MRI application, arterial spin labeling, offers the possibility that without radiation or contrast, to measure semi-continuous CBF with measurements every 60-120 seconds. The investigators will give 14 healthy volunteers both study drugs in a randomised sequence with one week apart and measure regional CBF during the study period of 45 minutes after a sub-anaesthetic bolus dose of 0,6 mg/kg racemic ketamine and 0,3 mg/kg S-ketamine The investigators hypothesize that there is no difference between racemic ketamine and S(+)-ketamine with regards to Arterial Spin Labeling (ASL) measured cerebral blood flow.
The primary objective of the study is to assess the progression-free survival (PFS) of oral veliparib in combination with TMZ or in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel compared to placebo plus carboplatin and paclitaxel in subjects with BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation and locally recurrent or metastatic breast cancer.
The aims of the present study are: 1. To evaluate the effect of the induction of anaesthesia and paralysis in terms of changes in oscillatory mechanics parameters 2. To evaluate the mechanical properties of the respiratory system in terms of input and transfer oscillatory impedance in response to PEEP changes
Propofol sedation with opioids is used for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Combination of sedatives and opioids is associated with increased morbidity/mortality. Delivery of only propofol using a patient-controlled delivery system (patient-controlled sedation, PCS) could be an alternative for this purpose. Comparative studies with PCS for ERCP are few. Therefore, the main objective of this randomized controlled trial was to compare propofol PCS to sedation managed by nurse anaesthetists during ERCP.
The aim of this randomized controlled study is to investigate if medication reviews performed by a clinical pharmacist as part of a ward team can reduce drug related problems and reduce readmissions to hospital among elderly patients (≥65 years) with dementia and cognitive failure. Four hundred and sixty patients will be recruited and randomized to control (usual care) and intervention group (enhanced service in which a pharmacist is part of the health care team). Six months after the last patient of the 460 has been discharged the study will be closed. Data about the number of readmissions and visits to the emergency room will be collected during the six-month follow-up and also, the costs associated with each visit or admission. Time until institutionalization will be compared between intervention group and control group.
The overall aim and primary objective is to evaluate the effects on level of depression and anxiety of an Internet-based CBT-program in depressed and/or anxious patients after a myocardial infarction (MI).
The purpose is to test whether dose densified chemoimmunotherapy followed by central nervous system (CNS) prophylaxis for young high risk diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients is feasible and could improve time to treatment failure and reduce the risk of CNS relapses. Six courses of rituximab-cyclophosphamide-doxorubicin-etoposide-vincristine-prednison (R-CHOEP) given in two weeks intervals with the support of G-CSF is followed by one course of high dose methotrexate (HD-MTX) and high dose cytarabine (HD-Ara-C). The results will be compared to a historical Nordic study.
This study is a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to evaluate the effect of an internet-based, guided self-help treatment of reoccurring and distressing nightmares. Imagery Rehearsal Therapy (IRT) will be compared to an active control treatment (CONT) and a recording-only group (REG). It is hypothesized that both active treatments will be superior to REG, and that IRT will be superior to CONT.
The purpose of this study is to test if cancer patients who are informed about, and offered participation in a cancer clinical trial, are more knowledgeable about cancer clinical trials if they have access to an audio recording of their information visit.
