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.
Patients with hemophilia who have the same level of deficient factor(s) may express different severity of clinical presentation and bleeding tendency. Therefore a test which could determine overall hemostasis rather than simple concentration of a single deficient factor may correlate better with clinical phenotype in these patients. The investigators will therefore study the usefulness of global hemostatic methods (endogenous thrombin potential (ETP), overall hemostatic potential (OHP), fibrin clot structure) and microparticles in the prediction of severity of bleeding and estimation of response to the treatment in patients with hemophilia. Since hemophilia patients on prophylactic treatment virtually do not bleed, additional patients who are treated on demand only will be included enabling to study possible modulatory effects of different hemostatic factors (particularly prothrombotic and thrombin activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFI)) on clinical presentation. The investigators will correlate both those factors and clinical severity with global hemostatic methods. The investigators expect to prove that individual tailoring of the treatment, which may enable lowering the prophylactic dose of factor concentrate without increasing the risk of bleeding, is justified in some hemophilia patients. This approach would reduce the amount of necessary factor concentrate in certain patients and decrease the cost (which represents extensive burden for health care systems) of treatment without potential risk for the patients.
In this trial, the effect of a low and a high dose AN-PEP will be investigated in gluten sensitive individuals. Volunteers receive a breakfast with background (0.5 g) gluten. Capsules are taken in the morning within 5 min after start of breakfast. Gastrointestinal fluid will be sampled over 3 hours to measure gluten degradation. After 5 volunteers have completed 3 test days, a blind interim analysis is performed by a third party based on which it is decided whether to proceed with the low AN-PEP dose.
The purpose of this project is to compare operative repair of traumatically torn rotator cuff tendon with physiotherapy in a randomized prospective study.
Primary Objective: To demonstrate the superiority of the insulin glargine/lixisenatide fixed ratio combination to insulin glargine in HbA1c change from baseline to week 30. Secondary Objective: To compare the overall efficacy and safety of insulin glargine/lixisenatide fixed ratio combination to insulin glargine (with or without metformin) over a 30 week treatment period in patients with type 2 diabetes
Primary Objective: To compare the insulin glargine/lixisenatide fixed ratio combination to lixisenatide alone and to insulin glargine alone (on top of metformin treatment) in HbA1c change from baseline to week 30. Secondary Objective: To compare the overall efficacy and safety of insulin glargine/lixisenatide fixed ratio combination to insulin glargine alone and to lixisenatide alone (on top of metformin treatment) over a 30 week treatment period in patients with type 2 diabetes
The purpose of this study was to test if an ACT group intervention focusing on body image reduces eating disorders symptoms and reduces care consumption in patients treated at a specialised eating disorder unit.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of Advagraf, prolonged-release, once daily tacrolimus formulation, on long-term graft survival in kidney and liver allograft recipients. This study will also evaluate the overall long-term impact of Advagraf on kidney and liver allograft recipients.
Renal denervation has recently shown to improve glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity in addition to reducing blood pressure. The mechanisms are however unclear. The investigators hypothesize that renal denervation alters adipose tissue function by reduced sympathetic outflow, measured by fat biopsies and markers of inflammation and insulin sensitivity. 15 clinical patients undergoing renal denervation are recruited to the study investigating anthropometry, peripheral blood samples, body composition, heart rate variability and subcutaneous fat biopsies at baseline and 6 months after renal denervation.
This project aims to evaluate the efficacy of autologous mesenchymal stem cell treatment to preserve insulin production and beta-cell mass in recently diagnosed patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus. The hypothesis to be tested is that an increased number of circulating mesenchymal stem cells will provide immune modulatory properties, and thereby stop the immune process in islets causing progressive beta-cell death.
Single operater pancreatico-cholangioscopy is performed through the working channel of conventional duodenoscopes. A visual evaluation of the biliary and pancreatic ductal systems is completed and obvious or suspicious macroscopic lesions are targeted by biopsy forceps. Evaluation of the usefulness of probe based confocal laser endomicroscopy in the evaluation of suspected premalignant lesions in the biliary duct and in the pancreas.
