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 main objective of this study is to compare a Dual Antithrombotic Therapy (DAT) regimen of 110mg dabigatran etexilate b.i.d. plus clopidogrel or ticagrelor (110mg dabigatran etexilate (DE) DAT) and 150mg dabigatran etexilate b.i.d. plus clopidogrel or ticagrelor (150mg DE-DAT) with a Triple Antithrombotic Therapy (TAT) combination of warfarin plus clopidogrel or ticagrelor plus Aspirin (ASA) <= 100mg once daily (warfarin-TAT) in patients with Atrial Fibrillation that undergo a PCI with stenting (elective or due to an Acute Coronary Syndrome). The study aims to show non-inferiority of each dose of DE-DAT when compared to Warfarin-TAT in terms of safety. Safety will be determined by comparing the rates of bleeding events, assessed using the modified International Society of Thrombosis and Haemostasis classification of Major Bleeding and Clinically Relevant Non Major Bleeding Events.
The study evaluates the efficacy of fluticasone furoate/umeclidinium bromide/vilanterol (FF/UMEC/VI) to reduce the annual rate of moderate and severe exacerbations compared with dual therapy of FF/VI or UMEC/VI in subjects with COPD. Published studies which assessed the use of an 'open' triple therapy (use of Inhaled Corticosteroid [ICS]/ Long-acting Muscarinic Receptor Antagonists [LAMA])/ Long Acting Beta-Agonist [LABA] delivered via multiple inhalers) in moderate-severe COPD patients, reported improvements in lung function, Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL), hospitalization rates and rescue medication use, compared to dual therapy (ICS/LABA) or LAMA alone. These studies have also shown similar safety profile with dual or monotherapy doses for periods of up to one year. Given the clinical experience with FF, UMEC and VI, and that the associated risks with these compounds are anticipated from their known pharmacology, the potential benefit of a new therapy option in patients with moderate to severe COPD supports the further development of the closed triple combination (delivered via one inhaler). In the current study subjects meeting all inclusion/exclusion criteria will complete 2-week run-in period; 52 week treatment period and a 1-week safety follow-up period. Eligible subjects will be randomized to one of the following double-blind treatment groups FF/UMEC/VI 100 micrograms (mcg)/62.5 mcg/25 mcg once daily (QD), FF/VI 100 mcg/25 mcg QD, or UMEC/VI 62.5 mcg/25 mcg QD
The primary objective of the study is to assess the progression-free survival (PFS) of veliparib in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel (C/P) compared to placebo plus C/P in participants with a Breast Cancer Gene 1 or 2 (BRCA1; BRCA2) mutation in Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2)-negative metastatic or locally advanced unresectable breast cancer. The secondary objectives of the study are to assess overall survival (OS), clinical benefit rate (CBR) through the end of Week 24, objective response rate (ORR) and PFS on subsequent therapy (PFS2) in participants treated with veliparib in combination with C/P versus placebo in combination with C/P.
SPP study includes incidence cases of pancreatic cancer in the Stockholm county region from 2007 to 2014. The purpose of SPP study is to estimate relative risk of pancreatic cancer in relation to snuff dipping, overweight/obesity, individual food items, food groups, dietary pattern and various nutrients; to estimate relative risk of pancreatic cancer in relation to exposure to nitrosamines, either endogenously or exogenously; to estimate relative risk of pancreatic cancer in relation to oral health and H.pylori infection and their interaction with ABO blood type; to estimation relative risk of pancreatic cancer in relation to hepatitis B or hepatitis C infection; to estimate relative risk of pancreatic cancer in relation to some genetic polymorphisms, either functional or being suggested in GWAS study; to estimate mutation profile in pancreatic cancer cases, and its correlation with environmental exposures, and the impacts on survival periods in pancreatic cancer patients. The MeSH name is Carcinoma, Pancreatic Ductal
Generate more information on the use of the Probiotic Intimate Crème regarding feeling of dryness and freshness in the intimate area, as well as to evaluate the Lactobacillus flora and presence of coliform bacteria in respect to E. coli in the intimate area of women before use of the crème and at the end of a 10 days crème-usage (day 8-10), as well as 10 days after (9-11 days) finished crème-usage. The hypothesis is that lactobacilli can survive in the intimate area of postmenopausal women with use of a probiotic creme.
During emergency anesthesia (rapid sequence induction) , a firm pressure is applied to the cricoid cartilage of the patient in order to prevent passive regurgitation of gastric content into the pharynx. This maneuver is called cricoid pressure. Cricoid pressure is often performed incorrectly, due to difficulties to locate the cricoid cartilage in many patients. Despite this, the effectiveness of an incorrectly applied cricoid pressure has not been investigated. In this study we have used high-resolution manometry (HRM) to evaluate pressures in the upper esophagus during correctly applied cricoid pressure (against the cricoid cartilage) compared to incorrectly applied cricoid pressure (against the thyroid cartilage and against the trachea) during a rapid sequence induction.
This study will evaluate real world pattern of use of BOTOX® in actual clinical practice in patients with idiopathic overactive bladder (iOAB) with urinary incontinence whose symptoms have not been adequately managed by oral anticholinergic therapy.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the newly constructed CE (Conformité Européenne) marked drill biopsy instrument for flexible endoscopes can make possible representative biopsies of the increasing numbers of submucosal tumours in the gastrointestinal tract. The amount of submucous tissue ( micrograms and in % of all the biopsy) harvested with the new drill biopsy instrument used in flexible endoscopy investigations is measured in the study and compared to the amount of submucous tissue harvested with the existing biopsy forceps.
A randomized trial investigating if effects of a goal-directed task oriented intervention is influenced by who takes the decision and establishes the goal (the child or the parent) and whether establishing a goal per se influence performance and goal-achievement. The main hypothesis are that children's participation in the goal-setting process would positively influence goal achievement, children's self-identified goals would be achievable and that both groups would achieve goals that were the target of a goal-directed intervention.
