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.
In people with type I diabetes, the insulin producing cells in the pancreas have been destroyed. Presently one can only evaluate the function of the graft through laboratory tests, blood sugars and the insulin requirements. The mass of the insulin producing cells and their location are not known. The possibility to study the mass of insulin producing cells is of importance when developing new treatment regimes, in order to evaluate their efficacy on this parameter. The researchers in this study are aiming to develop methods to measure the mass of insulin producing cells. A method (positron emission tomography, PET) previously used for the diagnosis of tumors of insulin producing cells may also be used to measure the amount of insulin producing cells in patients with type I diabetes. They plan to evaluate participants with type 1 diabetes that have undergone islet transplantation, to evaluate if PET can be used to measure the beta cell mass after islet transplantation.
This is an open-label, multicenter, biomarker study designed to be hypothesis-generating in order to better understand the mechanism of action of ocrelizumab and B-cell biology in RMS or PPMS. The study will be conducted in two cohorts i.e. RMS cohort (4 arm group) and PPMS cohort (one arm group). RMS cohort: Ocrelizumab will be administered as two intravenous (IV) infusions of 300 milligrams (mg) on Days 1 and 15. Subsequent doses will be given as single 600-mg infusions at Weeks 24 and 48. Participants will be randomized in 1:1:1 ratio to receive lumbar puncture (LP) post-treatment at Week 12, 24, or 52 following the first dose of ocrelizumab in three arm groups. A fourth RMS arm with delayed treatment start (Arm 4 [control group]) will not be a part of the randomization and will be recruited separately, wherein treatment with ocrelizumab will be delayed for 12 weeks from pre-treatment baseline. PPMS cohort: Ocrelizumab 600 mg will be administered as two 300-mg IV infusions separated by 14 days at a scheduled interval of every 24 weeks. Participants will receive a LP at the start of the study before dosing with ocrelizumab and second LP at Week 52 following the first dose of ocrelizumab. A long-term extension will be conducted for participants that complete the study and continue to receive ocrelizumab. Treatment with ocrelizumab in the entire study will continue for approximately 4.5 years after the first infusion.
The present project is designed to test the hypothesis that arginase contributes to microvascular endothelial dysfunction in patients with type 2 diabetes and microvascular complications.
The study is a prospective single armed, open label phase I study. Patients with advanced or metastatic GIST and tumor progression despite ongoing treatment with second, third or fourth line TKI treatment, and with at least one measureable tumor lesion, will be eligible for the study. A maximum of 12 patients will be included in this study. The patients will continue with TKI treatment until the 3 months follow up visit. If further tumor progression TKI will be withdrawn but if stable disease or objective response the patient will continue with TKI until progress. The investigational product Intuvax will be injected into a tumor lesion at two or three treatment occasions; day 1, 14 days (±3 days) after the first vaccination, and 28 days (±3 days) after the second vaccination (patient 7-12 only). Intuvax will be injected in a viable part of the tumor, using ultrasound-guided or CT technique for correct administration.
The EuroNet-PHL-C2 trial is an international, multicentre, randomised controlled trial with the aims to reduce the indication for radiotherapy in newly diagnosed patients with classical Hodgkin lymphoma without compromising cure rates and to investigate a chemotherapy intensification randomisation in intermediate and advanced classical Hodgkin lymphoma to compensate for reduction in radiotherapy.
Patients with cystic fibrosis older than 18 years will performance a Bruce test with non invasive ventilation (once) after 30 minutes they perform the same test with oxygen supplementation. Measurements: Transcutaneous level off carbon dioxide, saturation, puls and dyspnea scale.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the activity of dabrafenib in combination with trametinib in children and adolescent patients with BRAF V600 mutation positive low grade glioma (LGG) or relapsed or refractory high grade glioma (HGG)
This is a phase 3 randomized trial evaluating the anti-tumor activity and safety of avelumab in combination with axitinib and of sunitinib monotherapy, administered as first-line treatment, in patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma
The primary objective of the study is to describe the safety and tolerability of fasinumab, including adverse events of special interest (AESIs), in patients with pain due to radiographically-confirmed OA of the knee or hip.
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether routine administration of fluoxetine 20mg once daily in the 6 months initiated during the acute stroke improves the patient's functional outcome. EFFECTS is an investigator lead Sweden-based, multicenter, parallel group, double blind placebo controlled trial with broad entry criteria and follow up at 6 and 12 months. EFFECTS managed to recruit its anticipated numbers of 1,500 participants between 20th October 2014 and 28th June 2019. Data will be unblinded when the 6-months follow-up is completed, and the primary outcome is due to report on May 2020.
