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.
Objective of study is to assess the costs of care, objective and subjective caregiver burden and quality of life in relation to disease severity measured by cognitive function, ADL capabilities and presence of behavioral disturbances in Alzheimer's disease
The primary aim of the study is to assess the efficacy of continuous rhythm monitoring with an implantable loop recorder (ILR) compared to conventional ambulatory electrocardiography in detecting episodes of atrial fibrillation after pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). The secondary aim is to assess the efficacy of PVI during a two years follow-up and to assess the reliability of the implantable loop recorder in detecting atrial fibrillation. 50 patients will be enrolled into the study. After enrollment an implantable loop recorder will be implanted at least 6 weeks before scheduled PVI. All patients will be followed for 24 months after PVI. During the follow-up period a 72-hours ambulatory electrocardiographic monitoring will be performed at 1, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months. Transthoracic echocardiography will be performed at enrollment, 3, 12, and 24 months after PVI. Moreover, quality of life will be assessed at baseline, and 6 and 12 months after PVI.
The primary objective was to compare the efficacy of once daily [q.d.] subcutaneous [s.c.] injections of Semuloparin sodium (AVE5026) with q.d. s.c. injections of enoxaparin for the prevention of Venous Thromboembolic Events [VTE] in patients undergoing elective total hip replacement surgery. The secondary objectives were to evaluate the safety of AVE5026 in patients undergoing elective total hip replacement surgery, and to document AVE5026 exposure in this population.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of dronedarone for the control of ventricular rate at rest and during exercise in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and to assess the tolerability of dronedarone in the target population.
This study is conducted to compare the immunogenicity, reactogenicity and safety of Engerix™-B and HBV-MPL vaccine against hepatitis B infection in an elderly population
The purpose of this non-interventional, observational and international registry study is to document the prescribing patterns in daily clinical practice and to assess long term treatment outcomes related to initiation of treatment with oral antipsychotics in a naturalistic setting.
Intestinal pathogenes are often involved in postoperative complications after colon surgery. Probiotic bacteria, i e live bacteria which have beneficial effects on the host when ingested, have been shown to reduce bacterial translocation in animal studies. However, in humans studies results have varied. The purpose with this study was to find whether high doses of Lactobacillus plantarum 299v affects the potentially pathogenic microflora of the gut, bacterial translocation and cell proliferation in patients undergoing planned colon surgery.
The primary objective of the study is to test the hypothesis that prolonged re-feeding after VLED induced weight loss improves weight maintenance and eating behaviour
The primary objective was to compare the efficacy of once daily subcutaneous injections of Semuloparin sodium (AVE5026) with placebo in the prevention of venous thromboembolism [VTE] in cancer patients at high risk for VTE and who were undergoing chemotherapy. The secondary objectives were to evaluate the safety of Semuloparin sodium (AVE5026), to document Semuloparin sodium (AVE5026) exposures, to try identifying a metagene predictor of VTE and to assess the survival status at one year in this population.
To evaluate efficacy and safety of sorafenib versus placebo in the adjuvant treatment of Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) after potentially curative treatment (surgical resection or local ablation).
