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.
This is a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of two doses (500 mg once daily and 500 mg twice daily) of GSK1605786A as compared to placebo over 12 weeks in adult subjects with moderately-to-severely active Crohn's disease. Efficacy will be assessed by proportion of subjects achieving response, defined as a decrease in Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) score of at least 100 points (clinical response). Clinical remission (CDAI score less than 150 points) will be evaluated as a key secondary endpoint. Safety will be assessed by recording of adverse events, clinical laboratory parameters, vital signs and electrocardiogram (ECG). Population pharmacokinetics will evaluate the two doses of GSK1605786A. Health outcomes assessments will include changes in Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (IBDQ), Short Form-36 version 2 (SF-36v2), EQ-5D and Work Productivity and Activity Impairment-CD (WPAI-CD) and receipt of disability.
During labor, fetal scalp sampling is performed if the CTG registration is abnormal. The test is performed with the woman in the supine position and is generally described as a difficult and cumbersome procedure.
An open label, multi-centre, prospective age-group-controlled study to evaluate efficacy and safety of buprenorphine transdermal patches in subjects with chronic, moderate to severe osteoarthritis pain of the hip and/or knee.
The purpose of the study is to describe patient characteristics and drug usage among patients that are prescribed ticagrelor for the first time and to compare them with patients who are prescribed clopidogrel and prasugrel for the first time. A further purpose is to ascertain and estimate the crude incidence rate of bleeding, arrhythmias, heart failure, acute renal failure, acute liver failure, dyspnoea and gout among new users in the three cohorts of ticagrelor, clopidogrel and prasugrel.
About 32 healthy subjects are subjected to 4 weeks of exercise, 4 weeks of washout and 4 weeks of sedentary life style, randomization decides whether they start with exercise or with being "couch potatoes". All participants are also randomized to also consume 150 g of blueberries on exercise days or not. The exercise is constituted of 5 km running 5 days a week during the 4 week period. The exercise period and the "couch" period are started and ended with a 5 km run at maximal speed and the fasting blood samples for cardiovascular risk factors are measured before and after this run, ie 8 times in total.
This study will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of MabThera (rituximab) in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis who are receiving methotrexate, and who have a previous or current inadequate response to one prior anti-TNF therapy. All patients will receive MabThera 1000 mg as an intravenous infusion on days 1 and 15. After the initial study phase of 24 weeks, eligible patients may receive one re-treatment with MabThera. The anticipated time on study treatment is 48 weeks.
This trial is conducted in Africa, Asia, Europe and the United States of America (USA). The aim of this trial is to investigate the potential of liraglutide to induce and maintain weight loss in overweight or obese subjects with type 2 diabetes. Treatment will be added onto subject's pre-trial background diabetes treatment of either diet and exercise only or single compound oral antidiabetic drug (OAD) treatment (metformin, sulphonylurea [SU] or glitazone) or combination OAD treatment (metformin, sulphonylurea or glitazone). The duration of the trial will be 56 weeks followed by a 12 week observational follow-up period.
The phase Ib part of the trial will assess the MTD of AUY922 in combination with Trastuzumab in patients with Trastuzumab-refractory locally advanced or metastatic HER2+. The MTD is defined as the highest drug dosage not causing in the first cycle of treatment (28 days) medically unacceptable dose limiting toxicity (DLT). The phase II part of the trial will assess any potential effect on efficacy of adding AUY922 to Trastuzumab in patients with Trastuzumab-refractory locally advanced or metastatic HER2+ breast cancer. Both AUY922 and Trastuzumab will be administered as a weekly IV infusion. Treatment should be continued as long as the patient does not have disease progression and tolerates the treatment. The following reasons are examples of acceptable reasons for discontinuing the study; tumor progression (by RECIST, as assessed by the investigator), unacceptable toxicity, death, or discontinuation from the study for any other reason, such as patient refusal, withdrawn consent, lost to follow-up or investigator decision.
The purpose of the study is to explore the safety and efficacy of a new once a day pregabalin formulation versus placebo for patients with post herpetic neuralgia (Shingles)
The primary objective of this study is to determine whether reslizumab, at a dosage of 0.3 or 3.0 mg/kg administered once every 4 weeks for a total of 4 doses, is more effective than placebo in improving lung function in patients with eosinophilic asthma.
