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 Phase I/II trial evaluates LOAd703 in patients with cancer (pancreatic, biliary, colorectal or ovarian) together with their standard of care chemotherapy or using gemcitabine immune-conditioning. LOAd703 is administered by intratumoral image-guided injections. Maximum 50 patients can be enrolled. LOAd703 is an immunostimulatory gene therapy using an selection replication competent adenovirus as a gene vehicle. The virus is derived from serotype 5 adenovirus with the fiber from serotype 35. It expresses the transgenes trimerized membrane-bound isoleucine zipper (TMZ) TMZ-CD40L and 41BBL under control of a cytomegalovirus (CMV) promoter.
To examine the impact of health determinants at the individual (e.g. health related behaviors) and societal level (e.g. environmental factors, health related policy, quality of health systems) on health outcomes (e.g. death, non-communicable disease development) across a range of socioeconomic and health resource settings. Additional components of this study will examine genetic factors for non-communicable diseases. This will be examined both through a cross sectional component, and prospectively (cohort component).
Background: Lymph node status is an important prognostic parameter in esophageal carcinoma and an independent predictor of survival. Distribution of metastatic lymph nodes may vary with tumor location, tumor histology, tumor invasion depth and neoadjuvant therapy. Surgical strategy depends on the distribution pattern of nodal metastases but consensus on the extent of lymphadenectomy differs worldwide. Especially for adenocarcinoma the distribution of lymph node metastases has not yet been described in large series. Aim of the present study is to evaluate the distribution of lymph node metastases in esophageal carcinoma specimens following transthoracic esophagectomy with at least a 2-field lymphadenectomy. Methods: The TIGER-study is a multinational observational cohort study. All patients with a resectable esophageal or gastro-esophageal junction carcinoma in whom a transthoracic esophagectomy with a 2- or 3-field lymphadenectomy is performed in participating centers will be included. All lymph node stations will be excised and separately sent for pathological examination. Cluster analysis will be performed to identify patterns of metastases in relation to tumor location, tumor histology, tumor invasion depth and neoadjuvant therapy. Conclusion: TIGER will provide a roadmap of the location of lymph node metastases in relation to tumor histology, tumor location, invasion depth, number of lymph nodes and lymph node metastases, pre-operative diagnostics, neo-adjuvant therapy and survival. Patient-tailored treatment can be developed on the basis of these results, such as the the optimal radiation field and extent of lymphadenectomy based on the primary tumor characteristics.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of pembrolizumab (MK-3475) in combination with daratumumab in participants with relapsed refractory multiple myeloma (rrMM). The primary outcome measure for this study is the assessment of Objective Response Rate (ORR) in participants with rrMM.
The aim of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of insulin detemir using the 2400 nmol/mL formulation to optimise dosing in subjects with type 1 diabetes on a basal (once daily)-bolus regimen.
The study compares two different ventilation modes, Pressure support ventilation vs. Neuronally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist, in postcardiac surgery patients. Of special interest is shunt and alveolar deadspace and ventral vs. dorsal ventilation.
This is an open-label, single centre exploratory study to analyse brain exposure of AZD1390 in healthy volunteer males.
A randomized controlled trial (RCT) in patients who underwent sphincter preserving surgery due to rectal cancer. The study will analyze the effect of Transanal irrigation (TAI) and medication that can help control of the bowel movement in patients with low anterior resection syndrome.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the study drug LY900014 compared to insulin lispro, both in combination with insulin glargine or insulin degludec, in adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D).
The purpose of this study is to find out whether continuous infusion of beta-lactam antibiotics or intermittent infusion or beta-lactam antibiotics, offers more health advantages to patients or if there is no difference. The investigators will be looking to see whether patients receiving beta-lactams via one administration method or the other have a better chance of recovering from their illness. They will also be looking at long term outcomes such as quality-of-life and healthcare resource use. Sepsis is caused by toxic substances (toxins) from bacteria and other organism entering the bloodstream from a site of infection. In some people, the infection can progress to sepsis and septic shock where the functions of organs in the body are affected. Patients suffering from sepsis and septic shock are commonly managed in the intensive care unit (ICU) where they are prescribed antibiotics as standard therapy, as well as other therapies to support the functions of the body. Beta-lactam antibiotics are a group of antibiotics commonly used to treat infection in patients with sepsis and septic shock. Currently, beta-lactam antibiotics are most commonly given to patients be intermittent infusions, that is, given at regular intervals throughout 24 hours. New research suggests that giving beta-lactam antibiotics as a continuous infusion may mean that antibiotic concentrations in the blood remain more consistent and may be more effective at killing bacteria. However, the benefit to the patient by giving beta-lactams via continuous infusion has not been tested in a high-quality, large clinical trial.
