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.
The purpose of this 12-week active controlled trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of valsartan 80/160/320 mg (weight stratified) compared with enalapril 10/20/40 mg (weight stratified) on sitting systolic blood pressure (SSBP) in 6 - 17 year old children with hypertension (SSBP ≥ 95th percentile for age gender and height).
The primary purpose of this study is to determine if duloxetine reduces pain severity in patients with osteoarthritis knee pain.
The machines and oxygen used to help very premature babies breathe can have side-effects, such as bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Infants with BPD get more complications (a higher death rate, a longer time in intensive care and on assisted ventilation, more hospital readmissions in the first year of life, and more learning problems) than infants who do not develop BPD. Doctors try to remove the tube in the wind-pipe that links the baby to the breathing machine as soon as possible. However, small babies get tired, and still require help to breathe. One of the standard and common techniques to help them breathe without a tube in the wind-pipe is to use simple pressure support, nasal continuous positive airway pressure or nCPAP. This supports breathing a little, but it is often not enough to prevent the need to go back on the breathing machine. Nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) is similar to nCPAP, but also gives some breaths, or extra support, to babies through a small tube in the nose. NIPPV is safe and effective, and already in use as an alternate "standard" therapy. The main research question: After being weaned from the breathing machine, is NIPPV better than nCPAP in preventing BPD in premature babies weighing 999 grams or less at birth?
Surinabant is a new, potent and selective antagonist for the cannabinoid CB1 receptor, which might be clinically useful in the treatment of dependence to nicotine. The primary study objective is the assessment of efficacy of 3 doses of surinabant on abstinence from smoking in cigarette smokers. The main secondary objectives are the effect of surinabant on body weight and its clinical and biological safety.
Sequential therapy with intravenous to oral moxifloxacin, was tested at 69 study centres in 17 countries to determine if this treatment regimen is safe and effective in treating hospitalized adult patients with community-acquired pneumonia. 748 patients were participated in the study over an 18 months period. Individual patient involvement in the study was approximately 4-6 weeks. Moxifloxacin was compared to a combination treatment regimen of high dose intravenous ceftriaxone plus high dose intravenous levofloxacin followed by high dose oral levofloxacin.
This trial is conducted in Europe. The purpose of this study is to evaluate endometrial safety of intravaginal estradiol (Vagifem®) in healthy postmenopausal women having atropic vaginitis.
This single arm study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of MabThera maintenance therapy following a MabThera-containing induction regimen in first line or relapsed patients with follicular non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. All patients will receive MabThera 375mg/m2 body surface area, as an intravenous infusion, every 8 weeks. The anticipated time on study treatment is 1-2 years, and the target sample size is 500+ individuals.
This trial is conducted in North America, Europe, Asia and Oceania. The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety and efficacy of Recombinant Factor VIIa in patients with acute intracerebral bleeding.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the activity of romidepsin in patients with progressive or relapsed peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) who have already been treated with systemic therapy.
This study will look at different dose levels and regimens of everolimus combined with weekly trastuzumab and vinorelbine therapy in patients with HER-2 overexpressing metastatic breast cancer.
