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.
Classically lung elastance and transpulmonary pressure are measured from the difference in tidal variations of airway pressure subtracted by tidal variations i esophagus pressure divided by the tidal volume. This requires the presence of a esophageal balloon catheter which is cumbersome and costly. In this study values obtained as described above are compared to values obtained with a new method in which a stepwise increase in positive endexpiratory pressure (PEEP) is performed with a size of the lung volume increase which corresponds to the tidal volume which the patient is ventilated with. The measurements are performed in sedated and mechanically ventilated patients in the intensive care unit.
Critical care patients are at a high risk of developing delirium and impaired cognitive function 3 and 12 months after their ICU stay. In this study the aim is to try to elucidate the pathophysiology behind delirium in the ICU and subsequent development of cognitive dysfunction in ICU survivors. Biomarkers in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) will be analysed in patients with and without delirium in the ICU. Samples will also be taken 3 and 12 months after the ICU-stay. CSF will also be obtained in healthy age- and sexmatched controls undergoing surgery.
In this study a mistletoe preparation (Iscador Qu) is added to standard therapy in inoperable pancreatic cancer in order to evaluate effect on overall survival and health-related quality of life. Half of participants will take subcutaneous injections with mistletoe in addition to standard therapy (palliative chemotherapy or best supportive care); the other half will receive a placebo and standard therapy.
The primary purpose of this study was to assess the noninferiority of ravulizumab compared to eculizumab in adult participants with PNH who had never been treated with a complement inhibitor (treatment-naïve).
Bowel cancer is the second most common tumour with 41 000 new cases diagnosed annually in the UK, 447 000 across Europe and 1.36 million worldwide; of which one third are located in the rectum. Standard primary radical Total Mesorectal Excision (TME) surgery is an oncologically effective treatment for early stage rectal cancer. However, resection of a low rectal tumour requires a permanent stoma in approximately 10% of cases while many more patients have a temporary stoma, some of which are not reversed. Radical surgery, which evolved to treat locally advanced, symptomatic tumours, may not be the optimal method of treatment for early screen-detected tumours and an organ preserving strategy may generate significantly less morbidity without substantially compromising oncological outcomes. STAR-TREC is a rolling phase II/III study. Phase II aimed to assess the feasibility of a large, multi-centre randomised trial comparing radical surgery versus two contrasting organ saving treatments followed by selective transanal microsurgery. Phase III will evaluate two contrasting organ preservation strategies in terms of organ preservation rates, toxicity (clinician and patient-reported) and Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL).
This is a 13-week, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study to compare the efficacy and safety of 2 dose regimens of TEV-48125 (Fremanezumab) versus placebo in adult participants for the prevention of ECH.
The overall aim of the project is to evaluate the Help Overcoming Pain Early model (which includes patient education, person-centered health dialogues and pain/stress management), which is an adolescent-centered school health prevention program when adolescents have chronic pain. This is an intervention that has the hypothesis to support students to manage their chronic pain. The primary outcome is self-efficacy. Secondary outcomes are self-rated health, quality of sleep, pain intensity and school attendance. The project aims to evaluate the intervention through qualitative and quantitative data collection by students and school nurses. The project has a hybrid design, which means that outcomes of the intervention and the evaluation of the implementation are taking place in the same data collection. The results of this project can be of great importance in the early detection of students with chronic pain and promote their confidence in their own ability to manage their symptoms.
A multicentre, Double-blind, Placebo-Controlled, Randomized Trial to Assess the Efficacy and Tolerability of Two Dosing Regimens of AllerT, a Combination of Contiguous Overlapping Peptides Derived from Bet v 1, in Adults with Birch Pollen Allergic Rhinitis/Rhinoconjunctivitis
Evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Rezum System for the treatment of BPH
Open label, 4 week randomized, cross-over study to compare the effect of a vegetarian diet to a conventional (meat containing) diet based on the Swedish average meat consumption on a range of parameters with prognostic importance for cardiovascular disease.The study will be conducted in patients diagnosed with ischemic heart disease. We hypothesize that patients will benefit from a vegetarian diet as assessed by multiple risk markers for this type of disease with a primary focus on changes in oxidized LDL cholesterol.
