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.
ADHD medication of children and adolescents is becoming increasingly common. Clinical experience and scientific studies have proven that approximately 30% of children/adolescents with ADHD do not benefit from this treatment. However, there is insufficient knowledge about who these children are. All children and adolescents, who start treatment with ADHD medication at public Child and Adolescent Psychiatry units in Stockholm, on Gotland, an in Västerbotten, will be asked to participate in the study. The investigators intend to monitor the patients´clinical symptoms and possible side-effects after treatment start. The investigators will collect background information and saliva samples from the patient and his/her parents to be able to study if there are any genetic (hereditary) or other markers that can predict positive or negative outcomes of the ADHD medication. With this information, the investigators aim at, to a greater extent, be able to individualize treatment choices for children and adolescents with ADHD without unnecessary, costly and possibly unfavorable treatment attempts.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of administration of daratumumab when combined with VELCADE (bortezomib) and dexamethasone compared with bortezomib and dexamethasone alone, for participants with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.
This is a multicenter, Phase III, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, parallel-group study to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and tolerability of etrolizumab compared with infliximab in treating participants with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis (UC) who are naive to tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors. Participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either etrolizumab 105 milligrams (mg) by subcutaneous (SC) injection once every 4 weeks (Q4W) + placebo (intravenous [IV] infusion at Weeks 0, 2, and 6, then once every 8 weeks [Q8W]) or infliximab 5 milligrams/kilogram (mg/kg) IV at Weeks 0, 2, and 6, then Q8W) + placebo (SC Q4W). Time on treatment is 54 weeks.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate how treatment with Kinetic Oscillation Stimulation (KOS) in the nasal cavity in patients with non-allergic rhinitis can be optimized to minimize any patient reported discomfort during treatment procedure.
Mental illness is a major health problem in children and young people, and there is evidence that mental illness is increasing among young people in the population. More than 80 % of the cost to society of mental illness in children in Sweden is the cost of treatment and care. Anxiety and depression are the most common psychiatric problems in children and adolescents. In comparison with the treatment of mental disorders, there is relatively limited knowledge about prevention. There are at least two very important reasons to investigate further preventive interventions for anxiety and depression. (1) Only about 20% of children and adolescents with anxiety or depression use health services. (2) Some children stop treatment and almost 40% do still fulfill criteria for the disorder after treatment. FRIENDS for life is one of the most evaluated prevention programs internationally. The program has shown promising results in research. The overall aim of the present study is to evaluate FRIENDS for Life in Sweden.
The purpose of this study is to find an optimal dose of omega-3 that can be given to children who have completed cancer therapy. The future aim is to add omega-3 to conventional cancer treatment modalities and thereby hopefully increase the treatment efficacy, which will have to be addressed in subsequent phase-2 studies.
Although inotropes have a favorable effect on central hemodynamics in patients with heart failure, their effect on renal hemodynamics is incompletely defined. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a 75 min intravenous infusion of levosimendan compared to a 75 min infusion of dobutamine on renal hemodynamics and function in patients with chronic heart failure and signs of cardiorenal syndrome. The investigators hypothesis is that patients treated with levosimendan will show greater increases in renal blood flow and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) than those treated with dobutamine.
This study is to evaluate the performance attributes and user progression of participants with motor complete and incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI) while utilizing the Ekso robotic exoskeleton in an eight week over ground, locomotor program. We hypothesize an improvement in progression and overall health while using Ekso.
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells targeting CD19 will be evaluated for safety and efficacy in patients with B cell lymphoma or leukemia. The CAR consists of a CD19 targeting antibody scFv with three intracellular signaling domains derived from CD3 zeta, CD28 and 4-1BB. Autologous T cells will be gene engineered with the CAR gene using a retrovirus vector. Prior to T cell infusion, the patients will be subjected to preconditioning treatment. After T cell infusion, the patients will be evaluated for 24 months for adverse reactions, persistence of CAR T cells and efficacy.
The purpose of this prospective controlled study is to determine whether surgical management of unstable thoracic cage injuries and chest wall deformity in trauma reduces the need for and the time spent on ventilator compared to a group treated without operation.
