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.
Because of mammography screening increasingly more women are diagnosed with centimeter or subcentimeter node-negative breast cancer (i.e., T1abN0); these tumors account for approximately 19% of all newly diagnosed breast cancers in Sweden. Although the long term relapse-free survival rates among patients with such tumors is as high as ≥90%, some reports suggest that certain patient subgroups may have rates <75%. Firmly established prognostic and predictive factors for patients with T1abN0 tumors are, however, lacking. This is a nationwide, register-based cohort study investigating prognostic and predictive factors in women with centimeter or subcentimeter breast cancer. The study hypotheses are: 1) Established prognostic and/or predictive factors in overall breast cancer are prognostic and/or predictive factors also in centimeter or subcentimeter node-negative breast cancer; 2) The established relative reduction in risk of recurrence and death of adjuvant treatment for overall breast cancer are similar in centimeter or subcentimeter node-negative breast cancer.
This is a randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel-group, international, multicentre, Phase IV study to investigate the effects of dapagliflozin on cardiac substrate uptake, myocardial efficiency and myocardial contractile work in T2D patients. Eligible subjects with T2D before randomisation and fulfilling all of the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria will be randomised in a 1:1 ratio to dapagliflozin 10 mg or placebo once daily and treated for six weeks. The study includes five visits.
Oxycodone is an opioid frequently given orally as a premedication prior to any kind of surgery. The initial studies are performed on healthy testpersons and is not given in surgery. The investigators want to explore serum concentration over time (5h) and relate this to Visual Analoge Scale (VAS) postoperatively but also to given mg/kg
At a given level of serum cholesterol, patients with T2D have an increased risk of developing atherosclerosis compared with nondiabetic subjects. In a previous study we showed that the interstitial fluid-to-serum gradient of LDL and VLDL cholesterol is reduced in T2D patients compared with healthy controls. This was not found for HDL cholesterol. However, the cholesterol transporting function of HDL particles from interstitial fluid from patients with T2D were lower than in healthy controls. We hypothesize that that the apo B-containing particles in T2D patients are more susceptible to be retained or consumed in the extravascular space. We are to study if skin biopsies from T2D patients contain more cholesterol than biopsies from healthy controls. We hypothesize that samples from T2D patients are richer in cholesterol, which could explain why VLDL and LDL cholesterol are lower in relation to their plasma levels in T2D.
Spinal cord stimulation is a minimally invasive surgical treatment for severe, chronic, neuropathic pain that is refractory to conventional treatment. The treatment consists of an electrode implanted in the epidural space of the spinal cord, either via a percutaneous approach (using the so-called percutaneous leads) or via a surgical (hemi-) laminectomy (using the so-called surgical leads or plate leads). It is a well-known clinical observation that when activating or deactivating SCS stimulation, there is a variable interval before the patient perceives a clinical effect of the change. This variation goes by different names (carryover, echo, after effect, etc.) and might be dependent on the clinical condition and treatment duration. To our knowledge only very little research has been published on the topic of carryover effects; a recent study showed that the interval is highly variable between patients. While patients may experience immediate pain relief at the onset of SCS treatment, the effect in patients with a long-term SCS treatment history may have different characteristics, possibly due to ongoing changes in the nervous system. The aim of this pilot study is to lay the foundation for investigating the carryover effects in spinal cord stimulation. This will be carried out in a mixed population of patients with different indications for SCS, and with different treatment durations. Patients will be asked to deactivate their device via their remote control or with a magnet in a standardized fashion. They will be asked to reactivate the device when specific parameters have been met, and the time is recorded.
The goal of this study is to find out if a drug called selatogrel (ACT-246475) can prevent platelets from binding together when administered by an injection under the skin in the thigh or in the belly. Another goal is to know how fast and for how long selatogrel (ACT-246475) works and if there is a difference if the drug is injected in the thigh or in the belly. This study will also help to find out more about the safety of this new drug.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of daratumumab in addition to standard chemotherapy in pediatric participants with relapsed/refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL)/lymphoblastic lymphoma (LL) and T-cell ALL/LL as measured by the complete response (CR) rate.
The aim of this study is to investigate changes in nutrient intake, the human gut microbiota and pesticide excretion in urine when shifting from conventional food habits to sustainable food habits.
This is a retrospective cohort study comparing COPD patients aged 40 years and older with new exposure to roflumilast with up to 5 unexposed (ie, not roflumilast-exposed) COPD controls matched by propensity score (PS), age, sex, and year of cohort entry. The study is using electronic healthcare databases in the US (Military Health System database), Germany (GER) (German Pharmacoepidemiological Research Database), and Sweden (SWE) (national databases including healthcare, death, and demographics data). The main objective of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety of roflumilast in the treatment of COPD with main focus on the primary outcome of all-cause mortality and evaluation of potential safety issues identified during the clinical trials of roflumilast. Crude mortality and incidence rates will be compared between roflumilast exposed and unexposed COPD patients and adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) of the primary and secondary outcomes will be calculated.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical and virologic benefit of pimodivir in combination with Standard-of-Care (SOC) treatment compared to placebo in combination with SOC treatment.
