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.
Heart failure is a progressive disease that decreases the pumping action of the heart. This may cause a backup of fluid in the heart and may result in heart beat changes. When there are changes in the heart beat sometimes an implantable heart device is used to control the rate and rhythm of the heart beat. The purpose of the REVERSE clinical trial is to determine whether pacing in both the left and right ventricles using Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) can help slow the progression of heart failure in people who have mild or previous symptoms and poor heart pumping function. This kind of therapy has previously been shown to reduce symptoms and improve exercise capacity in people with more advanced forms of heart failure.
This study is a multicenter, randomized, double blind, parallel group study of 6 months' treatment with SLV308 administered as a monotherapy in patients with early stage PD. An open label safety extension to this study is planned as a separate protocol for patients who are willing and eligible to participate.
The purpose of this study is to see if fluticasone 500mcg/salmeterol 50mcg can improve the survival of subjects with COPD and also assess the long term safety profile of this drug.
The primary objective is to assess the efficacy and safety of the fixed dose combination of telmisartan 80 mg + hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg (T80/H25) alone or in addition to other antihypertensive therapies during open-label, long-term treatment.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SR58611A in patients with Generalized Anxiety Disorder. The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of a 700 mg dose of SR58611A compared to placebo in patients with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD).The secondary objectives are to evaluate the efficacy of SR58611A on disability and quality of life in patients with GAD and to evaluate safety of SR58611A.
Omalizumab will be given as add-on treatment to optimized asthma therapy in patients with severe persistent asthma, who demonstrate inadequate asthma symptom control. Response to omalizumab over time will be assessed by physicians and patients evaluating the overall improvement in control of their asthma. THIS STUDY IS NOT ENROLLING PATIENTS IN THE US.
Study hypothesis :Hyperbaric Oxygen may prevent complications and improve outcomes in severe lower limb trauma. We propose to investigate this hypothesis by conducting an International multi centre randomised control trial of standard trauma/orthopaedic care with or without a concurrent course of hyperbaric oxygen treatments.
The goal of this trial was to explore the utility of evaluating emphysema progression through CT scans measuring lung density during a 2 year period of weekly infusions of either placebo or human alpha-1-antitrypsin (AAT; Prolastin®). Exacerbation data recorded in patient diaries were also collected. All efficacy data were analyzed for potential use in evaluating Prolastin efficacy in this and other clinical trials.
The objective of the study is to compare the use of calcipotriol plus betamethasone dipropionate gel with betamethasone dipropionate in the gel vehicle, calcipotriol in the gel vehicle and the gel vehicle alone when used in patients with psoriasis vulgaris on the trunk and/or limbs. Patients will be treated once daily for up to 8 weeks. The primary response criterion is the number of patients with controlled disease at week 8.
Determine how safe and effective lapatinib is when used to treat patients with ErbB2 overexpressing breast cancer that has spread to the brain and is still progressing there even after radiation treatment using WBRT (whole brain radiotherapy) or SRS (stereotactic radiosurgery) to the brain. Lapatinib is an oral drug that will be taken every day. Tests for safety and efficacy will be performed every 4 weeks or 8 weeks (depending on the test) during the course of the study.
