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 overall rationale is to reduce the risk of sudden cardiac death in individuals with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). The novel approach of this study is to correlate Positron Emission Tomography (PET) findings to ventricular arrhythmias detected by the implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). This could potentially lead to an improved risk stratification of HCM patients.
The study will assess the mean change in Visual Acuity (VA) (overall and stratified by baseline VA) at year 1 and 2 of treatment with Aflibercept in real-life setting. In addition, the study will ascertain the baseline VA in treatment -naïve Wet Age-Related Macular Degeneration or neo-vascular AMD (wAMD) patients who start treatment with Aflibercept in a real-life setting and it will assess the impact of baseline VA on the outcomes of Aflibercept treatment.
Prospective, multi-center, randomized, single blind study
The purpose of this study is to show that subcutaneous (SC) administration of daratumumab co-formulated with recombinant human hyaluronidase PH20 (Dara SC) is non-inferior to intravenous (IV) administration of daratumumab (Dara IV) in terms of the overall response rate (ORR) and maximum trough concentration (Ctrough).
Metabolism is increasingly recognized as being highly regulated by anticipatory biological rhythms (circadian rhythms or "biorhythms"), which are driven by molecular feedback loops, and which are approximately 24 hours long ("circa diem"). These circadian rhythms exist both centrally, in the brain, but also in the periphery, and are specific to many tissues depending on their main biological function or functions. Whereas these circadian rhythms have been thoroughly characterized in other organisms, their role in humans remain poorly understood, partly because of the difficulty in studying these rhythms in peripheral tissues. The investigators therefore aim to characterize these rhythms in primarily skeletal muscle and adipose tissue in healthy young volunteers (using the so-called constant routine paradigm), and how these rhythms interact with one another at various genetic and molecular levels. At the same time, the investigators aim to study how an unhealthy vs. healthy diet can alter these circadian rhythms, and how they interact with circadian rhythms in other tissue compartments such as those expressed by blood cells.
The puropse of this non-interventional register and survey study is to identify the patterns of prescribed pain, anti-depressive and anti-anxiety medication and management of pain, depression and anxiety for people with haemophilia. The study will be conducted in the Nordic countries (Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland) and the aim is to cover the entire haemophilia population in the register part of the study.
Microscopic colitis (MC) is a disease with chronic inflammation of the colon that is mostly diagnosed in middle-aged or elderly women. Patients suffer from chronic watery diarrhoea, abdominal pain and weight loss. The aetiology of MC is still unknown but it is hypothesized that MC is caused by a deregulated immune response to a luminal agent in predisposed individuals, and an important role of the intestinal microbiota is suggested. In the current proof-of-concept study, the effect of faecal microbiota transfer (FMT) in 10 MC patients will be evaluated. FMT consists in the infusion of suspended stool from a healthy donor into the intestine of a patient with the aim to restore a disturbed intestinal microbiota.
Patients with newly diagnosed pulmonary embolism and high thromboembolic risk will be randomized to screening for atrial fibrillation or standard of care using intermittent ECG registration for at least two weeks.
This clinical study will evaluate the safety of an innovative approach expected to be disease-modifying by stopping the auto-immune-mediated destruction of islet β-cells in the pancreas. Three doses of the investigational product will be tested in successive cohorts. Although safety is the first objective of this study, we will gather efficacy data and perform a set of immunological tests to further understand the mechanism of action of this new approach in young adults with recent onset type 1 diabetes.
Training of health care providers and structured LARC forward counseling may contribute to increased LARC uptake. The hypothesis to be tested is that by introducing LARC forward counselling an increase in LARC usage will be the result as well as decreased unplanned pregnancy and abortion. It is expected that the results of this study will highlight the importance of LARC forward counseling and thus provide the evidence needed to train health care providers and increase access to LARC in youth clinics, midwifery clinics and for post abortion contraception.
