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.
This program initially aims to recruit 1300 breast cancer patients from a large number of hospitals across Europe. Eligible patients are those who are 18 or older, either female or male, and who have not received more than 1 type of treatment from the time metastases were discovered, metastasi(e)s has just been diagnosed or their disease has come back (disease relapse). Biopsy samples from both the primary and metastatic (or relapsed) tumor will be collected for central analyses, together with blood, serum and plasma samples. Any samples not analyzed immediately will be stored in an independent bio-repository to enable future (not yet defined) research aimed at better understanding metastatic breast cancer. In summary, the main objectives of AURORA are to better understand the genetic aberrations in metastatic breast cancer and to discover the mechanisms of response or resistance to therapy, in order to ultimately identify the "right therapy for each individual patient". At the same time, patients with genetic aberrations that are being targeted by new drugs in development will be offered the possibility to participate in clinical trials, when approved and available in their countries. Ultimately, the aim of AURORA is to improve the outcomes of all patients diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Fractional flow reserve (FFR, (coronary pressure wire-based index for assessing the ischemic potential of a coronary lesion)-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with multivessel coronary artery disease (CAD) will result in similar outcomes to coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG).
This study is a multicenter, double-blind, randomized study to access the efficacy, safety and tolerability of Bococizumab (PF-04950615; RN316) in subjects with hyperlipidemia receiving background statin therapy.
Some people can develop an abnormal heart beat known as "Atrial fibrillation" or "AF" that puts them at risk of developing clots in the heart. Those clots can travel in the blood circulation to the brain and cause a brain attack ("a stroke"). To prevent those clots forming, blood thinners (anti-coagulants) are used. Apixaban is a blood thinner that works by stopping one of the blood substances required for clotting ("Factor Xa"). It is approved and used to prevent clots forming in people with "AF". Other established blood thinners work by stopping clotting substances being made, known as "Vitamin K antagonists" or "VKAs". An example of this type is Warfarin (Coumadin). The good effects of all blood thinners are preventing clots, and they may also have bad effects of increasing the chance of bleeding. People with "AF", abnormal heart beat, may benefit from changing it back to a normal regular rhythm, known medically as "cardioversion". When this is done, people are currently most commonly treated with a "VKA" blood thinner (e.g. warfarin). The purpose of this study is to assess the good and bad effects ("efficacy" and "safety") of apixaban compared with warfarin in people with "AF" in whom an early cardioversion is planned.
This Phase II, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study will evaluate the effects of lebrikizumab on airway eosinophilic inflammation in participants with uncontrolled asthma who are using inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) treatment and a second controller medication. Enrolled participants will undergo a 3-week screening period during which assessments, including a bronchoscopy procedure, will be made. Participants will subsequently be randomized to receive lebrikizumab or placebo by subcutaneous (SC) injection on Day 1, Day 8, Week 4, and Week 8. Participants will continue their standard of care therapy throughout the study. End of treatment assessments will be taken at Week 12. Total study period, including screening and follow-up, is expected to last 23 weeks.
This trial is conducted in Africa, Europe and North America. The purpose of the trial is to investigate the efficacy and safety of liraglutide adjunct to insulin treatment in type 1 diabetes.
The purpose of this study is to make a preliminary assessment of the efficacy of a combined APR-246 and carboplatin/PLD chemotherapy regimen, compared with carboplatin/PLD chemotherapy regimen alone, in patients with platinum sensitive recurrent high grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) with mutated p53. In addition, the study aims to assess the safety profile of the combined APR-246 and carboplatin/PLD chemotherapy regimen compared with carboplatin/PLD chemotherapy regimen alone, to evaluate potential biomarkers, and to assess the biological activity in tumor and surrogate tissues. The trial will enroll up to a maximum of 400 patients.
The primary objective of this program is to provide Daclatasvir in combination with Sofosbuvir with or without Ribavirin to subjects with chronic Hepatitis C who are at a high risk of liver decompensation or death within 12 months if left untreated and who have no available therapeutic options.
Fetal Growth Restriction (FGR) is a major obstetric problem, affecting 1.46 million fetuses worldwide each year and contributing to 50% of stillbirths. Severe early onset FGR affects 1 in 500 pregnancies, leading to stillbirth or the need for delivery before 28 weeks gestation. The combination of FGR and prematurity is associated with a significant risk of neonatal mortality and short and long-term complications. Even modest increases in birthweight (e.g from 500 to 600g) and gestation at delivery (e.g from 26 to 27 weeks) are associated with significantly better outcomes but there are currently no treatments. The EVERREST Clinical Trial, funded by the European Commission, aims to develop a treatment which will increase fetal growth in severe early onset FGR. It will use gene therapy injected into the uterine arteries of the mother to increase the levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and so increase uterine artery blood flow and fetal growth. The EVERREST prospective study aims to form a clinical database and biobank of pregnancies affected by severe early onset FGR to improve understanding of the condition and serve as a comparison to assess the safety and efficacy of this intervention. The prospective study will take place across four European centers who will later take part in the EVERREST Clinical Trial. Women with singleton fetuses with early onset FGR will be approached to take part in the study. Participating women will provide blood samples, details of their clinical condition, samples of umbilical cord blood, placenta and myometrial and placental bed biopsies at the time of Caesarean section (if needed). Data on short and long-term outcomes of the babies will be collected. All data will be entered onto a central database for eventual use as a comparator for treated women on the EVERREST Clinical Trial, for which separate ethical approval will be sought.
The main purpose of this study is to examine if there are differences in postoperative inflammation following percutaneous dilatation tracheostomy versus surgical tracheostomy in intensive care unit patients.
