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 single arm study will assess the efficacy and safety of subcutaneous Mircera for maintenance of hemoglobin levels in pre-dialysis patients with chronic renal anemia. Patients currently receiving maintenance treatment with subcutaneous darbepoetin alfa will receive monthly subcutaneous injections of Mircera with the starting dose (120, 200 or 360 micrograms) derived from the dose of darbepoetin alfa or epoetin alfa in the week preceding study start. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.
We wanted to investigate if it was possible to improve adherence to prescriptions and advice in pre-school children with newly diagnosed asthma. The intervention was intense information and support in the form of four group discussions with the parents of four children in close connection to diagnosing the child. The control children received the usual care with individual polyclinic visits to the physi-cian/nurse. We evaluated the effect with the help of questionnaires, physical examinations, blood tests, lung function tests and control of treatment adherence after 18 months and 6 years.
The objective of this study is to explore the onset of action when serotonin reuptake inhibitors are used to treat premenstrual dysphoric disorder
The main purpose of this trial is to determine safety and efficacy of Lacosamide under long term therapy.
The odontological radiology method Panorama is known to be able to spot calcifications in the area of the carotid arteries. The calcifications could be carotid stenoses which is affiliated with an increased risk of stroke. The study aims to investigate if panorama examinations can be used as a starting point for further investigation of the carotid arteries.
A single center observational study. Observing the time between cerebrovascular symptoms and Carotid Endarterectomy (CEA) and patient outcome. An intervention at 17 of the 29 study months aimed at reducing the delay and increasing the patient safety. Main outcome is to measure the reduction in recurrent stroke with decreased delay to CEA.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of the Anti-Adhesion Product (AAP) in preventing or reducing post-operative adhesion formation and re-formation in a subject population having abdominal surgery and being left with a rectal stump and a temporary stoma from a first procedure and scheduled for a laparoscopy/ laparotomy as a second procedure in the normal treatment of the subjects' disease. In both study groups, surgical measures to prevent adhesions were taken, e.g. using minimum traumatizing surgical technique, using powder-free gloves. In the investigational product group, AAP was applied to the rectal stump and the incision line while no specific additional treatment was applied in the control group. The surgeon assessed preexisting adhesions during the first surgery. Newly developed and re-formed adhesions were evaluated during the second surgery by a surgeon or assistant who did not know the result of randomization. The safety of the study drug was also monitored.
GW842166X is being developed for the treatment and management of inflammatory pain. GW842166X is a CB2 receptor agonist and the mechanism is not fully understood, although it is thought that for the anti-inflammatory action the drug is required to cross inot the brain from the blood. This study aims to look at if the drug crosses into the brain once given orally using an imaging technique called positron emission tomography.
The study will examine the efficacy,safety and tolerability of combination therapy of tamsulosin and solifenacin compared to placebo and monotherapy of tamsulosin and solifenacin in the treatment of males with LUTS associated with BPH.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate progression free survival in those participants assigned everolimus 10 mg/day plus Best Supportive Care versus those assigned to placebo plus Best Supportive Care in Advanced Neuroendocrine Tumors of pancreatic origin.
