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.
International Registries and Prospective Study on Type 3 Von Willebrand's Disease (VWD3), aimed to assess number, types and risk factors for bleeding and the efficacy and safety of plasma-derived and/or recombinant Von Willebrand Factor (VWF) concentrates used to treat VWD patients.
In this trial, patients with mantle cell lymphoma will be included, treatment with lenalidomide, rituximab and ibrutinib will be administered in an induction phase for up to 12 cycles, cycle length 28 days. Patients with complete remission, partial response or stable disease will enter a maintenance phase with treatment with ibrutinib and rituximab until progression of disease. The primary objective is to evaluate overall response rate, based on PET and CT.
The overarching aim of the research project is to investigate whether Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) is an efficacious psychotherapeutic method of treatment for inpatients suffering from acute psychosis. The method will be applied in two ways. Firstly, as an individual treatment for patients. Secondly, as an integrated part of the daily work on an inpatient ward, administered by nurses and assistant nurses trained in the method.
The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the effect of erenumab compared to placebo on the change from baseline in monthly migraine days.
Healing of mucosal defects after endoscopic mucosal resection in the oesophagus is prone to result in varying degrees of stenosis, especially if the resected area is large and/or circumferential. A new technique was described where autologous cells from the patients own oral mucosa are harvested and cultures on proprietary membranes (coated, temperature sensitive). These membranes, coined cell sheets, are used to cover the mucosal defects.
Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is a mini-invasive diagnostic procedure in the work-up of various suspicious malignancies. The learning curve of EUS is regarded long but so far the literature of this topic is minimal. Few studies have been published and there are no standardized or validated methods to perform a systematic assessment of endosonographists in training. This study is an observational study dealing with the matter of assessing endosonographists in training.
Comparing the effects of MAP 60, 75 and 90 mmHg, respectively, on renal blood flow, glomerular filtration rate and renal oxygen demand in patients with terminal liver failure directly after liver transplantation.
Multicenter, open-label, exploratory, phase II clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of PM01183 in previously treated patients with advanced solid tumors
The aim is to study if pre-surgery physiotherapy improves function, pain and health in patients with specific low back pain scheduled for surgery. Patients are followed over a two year period. A secondary aim is to study what factors predict short and long term outcomes.
Background The treatment of haemophilia A and B has been revolutionized by the use of factor concentrate, both as prophylaxis and to treat bleeding episodes (on-demand treatment). However, despite its advantages, repeated treatment with factor concentrate can lead to development of inhibitors (antibodies) towards the coagulation factor in the concentrate. Another patient group in which the bleeding symptoms are difficult to treat because of inhibitors towards coagulation factors, most commonly FVIII, is patients with acquired haemophilia. Patients with high antibody titers exhibit a deficient or no response to factor concentrates and usually need treatment with bypassing agents, namely factor eight inhibitor bypassing agent (FEIBA®, Baxter) och recombinant activated factor VII (rFVIIa, Novo-Seven®, Novo Nordisk). The effect of the treatment cannot be accurately monitored by traditional coagulation tests. The aim of the study is to evaluate the utility of the global haemostatic methods in patients with haemophilia with inhibitors. The objective is to improve the monitoring of the treatment effect and thus increase the safety of the patient and the effectiveness of the treatment. Patients and methods Patients The primary cohort will consist of fifteen patients with inherited haemophilia with inhibitors as well as five adult patients with acquired haemophilia who are followed up at the Coagulation Department of the Karolinska University Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden. Blood samples will be collected from those patients at specific time points (see Design of the study) during the course of two years (for each patient). The treatment (type, dose, duration) will be determined by the treating physician. Methods (selection) - Thrombin generation (Calibrated Automated Thrombogram, CAT® and a commercial kit from Siemens®). - Overall haemostatic potential (OHP) Design of the study Timeframe for blood sampling: i) baseline (inclusion in the study), and ii) prior and after administration of bypassing agents to either treat bleeding symptoms or before an invasive procedure or as prophylaxis. Data analysis The variations in coagulation markers measured as described above (Methods) will be associated to the clinical symptoms (bleeding), the level of coagulation factors (if measurable) and the titers of the inhibitors.
