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.
An open label randomised trial for adults with histologically confirmed measurable metastatic GIST who have received no other treatment for metastatic disease. The study aims to determine if an alternating regimen of imatinib and regorafenib has sufficient activity and safety in comparison to imatinib alone to warrant further evaluation as a first line treatment for metastatic GIST.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether tailored internet-administrated cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) is a feasible approach in the treatment of depressive symptoms and comorbid anxiety symptoms.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the external validity of a randomized controlled trial comparing choice of hip arthroplasty for elderly patients (>80 years) with a displaced femoral neck fracture. The hypotheses are that patient reported hip function, quality of life are better and healthier in those included in the randomized controlled trial than those excluded. The external validity of the randomized controlled trial is acceptable. A prospective randomized controlled trial is planned and patients with a displaced femoral neck fracture will be included and randomized between either a hemiarthroplasty or total hip arthroplasty. All patients screened will be included in a prospective cohort study for evaluation of the external validity of the randomized controlled trial. The prospective cohort study will consist of 3 different groups. Patients included in the randomized controlled trial will form group 1. Patients eligible for the randomized controlled trial but did not give their informed consent and therefore excluded, form group 2. Patients with a femoral neck fracture which by any reason were excluded form group 3. Primary endpoint is patient-reported hip function (Harris hip score) and pain on the operated extremity evaluated with VAS (Visual Analogue Scale) and patient reported quality of life evaluated with EuroQol (EQ-5D). Secondary outcome measurement are the frequency of the complications, periprosthetic fracture, dislocation, revision surgery due to wound infection (deep and superficial) and loosening of the components. Baseline data, age, sex, comorbidity, cognitive status, weight, height, motor function, complications and reoperations. Follow up is performed 1-2 years after surgery. Group 1 is followed up in the ongoing randomized controlled trial by visits to the orthopedic department at Danderyd Hospital. Group 2 and 3 are followed up by telephone interview 1-2 year after surgery.
The aims of EPiMAP Obstetrics are: - to identify risk factors for failure of epidural blood patch in the obstetric population for management of post dural puncture headache. - to describe European practices in the management of accidental dural puncture in the Obstetric population.
This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability and influence on itching, bile acids and liver enzyme changes in patients with PBC (Primary Biliary Cirrhosis) treated with A4250
Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) with fine needle aspiration (FNA) for cytology and/or fine needle biopsy (FNB) for histology may be used in the diagnostic work-up of intrathoracic and intrabdominal lesion of unknown origin. Certain lesions (such as pancreatic adenocarcinoma) are often well characterized by cytology assessment of FNA-samples while others are not (such as GIST-tumors). This study is a part observational (early study phase) and part interventional study (late study phase) on the diagnostic accuracy of EUS-assisted tissue sampling by FNA or FNB during a 10-year period on a tertiary endoscopy centre.
This study aims to investigate if recolonisation of the hand flora occur after surgical hand washing and is there a bacterial leakage at the glove cuff site in cardiac surgery? Also investigate if thera are differences in microbial flora and recolonisation between hospital and non-hospital persons.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of multiple dose regimens of relamorelin on vomiting episodes, gastric emptying and gastroparesis symptoms in participants with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes mellitus and gastroparesis. Study drug (relamorelin and placebo) will be administered subcutaneously in a blinded fashion.
The overall aim of this multicenter randomised controlled trial (RCT) is to investigate if exercise can modify the disease course and prevent comorbidity in patient with spondyloarthritis (SpA).
This study is a double-blind randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, 12 week study performed in 2 centres in Sweden to assess the effect of Omega-3 carboxylic acids and fenofibrate on liver fat measured with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with over-weight and hypertriglyceridemia.
