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 study will evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of saxagliptin compared to glimepiride in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who have inadequate glycaemic control on metformin monotherapy.
This study will assess the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of ACT-128800 in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis.
The primary goal of this study is to evaluate the effect of PF-04360365 on the clearance of ABETA from the CSF (cerebrospinal fluid) in patients with mild Alzheimer's disease and healthy volunteers. Additionally, the study will assess the pharmacokinetics of PF-04360365, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic relationships in plasma and CSF and the safety and tolerability of single doses of PF-04360365 administered to patients with Alzheimer's disease and healthy volunteers.
The purpose of the clinical trial is to investigate whether low carbohydrate diet is better than the traditional diabetic diet in the treatment of patients with diabetes mellitus type 2, for blood sugar and body weight.
The aim of this study is to - Measure the effect on gene expression in leukocytes from a meal rich in oat bran - Investigate the postprandial glucose, insulin and triglyceride responses after intake of meals containing fiber from different sources (oat, rye and sugar beet fiber) or a meal containing a mixture of these three fibers
Previous studies have shown that the disorder fibromyalgia often is preceded by long-term stress. Moreover, an association has been shown between stress, pain and co-morbidity in these patients. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) has been shown effective in reducing stress, anxiety and pain in rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia. The purpose of the present trial was to assess whether CBT may reduce pain and other symptoms and increase well-being and general function, affect biological markers for pain and long-term stress, to a larger extent than treatment "as usual". Forty eight women with verified fibromyalgia were randomly allocated to an early treatment group or a waiting list group. The early treatment group received CBT group treatment during six months. Measurements of outcome and potential outcome affecting variables were made at baseline, after six months and one year after baseline. The waiting list group received the same CBT treatment as the early treatment group after six months on the waiting list. The design is thus a traditional "waiting list design", allowing a two parallel group comparison during the first six months and a "before-after" analysis in both groups when the treatment was concluded.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of switching rheumatoid arthritis (RA) participants who have an inadequate response to their current treatment with either etanercept + methotrexate or adalimumab + methotrexate to treatment with golimumab 50 milligram (mg) subcutaneous (SC) injection (a needle inserted under the skin in the back of upper arm, upper thigh or stomach area) every 4 weeks + methotrexate. This study is also designed to evaluate the benefit and safety of switching participants from treatment with golimumab 50 mg subcutaneous injection every 4 weeks + methotrexate to golimumab 2 milligram per kilogram (mg/kg) intravenous every 8 weeks + methotrexate, for those who do not achieve a marked improvement of their RA at Week 16.
Participants with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) will receive a first-line treatment of Pemetrexed, Cisplatin and Bevacizumab as induction therapy followed by a maintenance treatment of Pemetrexed and Bevacizumab. Treatment will continue until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs. The primary objective of this study is to measure how long this treatment could prevent the disease progression.
The study is part of a research programme into mechanisms of asthmatic airway obstruction, focusing on the role of lipid mediators such as the prostaglandins. To this end the effect of a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, the selective COX-2 inhibitor etoricoxib, will be evaluated in the allergen challenge setting in twelve subjects with intermittent allergic asthma. Active treatment for 10 to 13 days will be compared with an identical study period with no treatment in a cross-over, randomised design. Rising dose allergen challenges will be performed on three occasions to assess possible changes in airways responsiveness. Sampling of blood, urine, saliva and sputum will be done to allow for analyses of the production of prostaglandins and other lipid mediators, of the efficacy of COX-2 inhibition as well as of regulation of immune cells. It is hypothesized that inhibition of COX-2 by virtue of inhibition of bronchoprotective prostaglandin E2 leads to a slightly exaggerated airway response to allergen exposure.
The primary objective of this study is to compare the effect of panitumumab versus cetuximab on overall survival (OS) for chemorefractory metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) among patients with wild-type Kirsten rat Sarcoma-2 virus (KRAS) tumors.
