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.
Women having abortions are at high risk for subsequent unintended pregnancy and repeat abortion. Clearly, encouraging contraceptive use after abortion is a high priority. Long acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs, Implants and intrauterine contraception) are the most effective methods to help women avoid a repeat unwanted pregnancy and abortion. Studies in surgical abortion patients, show that "quickstart" of a LARC - i.e., inserting it during the surgical procedure - is associated with substantially greater use of that method six months later than requiring women to return later to get the device. However, today a majority of women chose medical abortion. The clinical routine is to insert LARCs at the follow up 2 to 3 weeks after the abortion treatment. Frequently women choose to do part of the abortion treatment at home and do not return for a follow up. Thus, the possibility to quick start a contraceptive method in medical abortion would be a major advantage especially if this could be done at the time of administration of mifepristone.
The study aims at comparing the effect of hollow or solid centralizer designs on the long time fixation behaviour of hip prosthesis stems that are polished, tapered and collarless. In a prospective, controlled and randomized study comprising two groups of 30 patients/hips each, the patients will be followed up by RadioStereometric Analysis (RSA) for ten years. In completion general health questionnaires as well as hip specific scoring instruments will be used to evaluate patient satisfaction and outcome.The hypothesis of the study is that the different centralizers will result in different migration patterns of the stems, which might affect the risk for late aseptic loosening.
The purpose of this study is to compare 3 cycles of neoadjuvant (preoperative) chemotherapy + operation with the standard treatment of locally advanced colon cancer, which is operation + 8 cycles of (adjuvant) chemotherapy. Patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy may not need adjuvant chemotherapy after the operation and, if this is the case, they will be spared of 5 cycles of chemotherapy.
This Phase 1 study will evaluate PDE10 enzyme occupancy using Positron Emission Tomography after a single dose of PF-02545920 in Healthy male volunteers.
A 12-month, randomised, evaluator-blinded, comparative, multicentre study of the safety and efficacy of lip injections with Emervel Lips Lidocaine and Juvéderm Volbella with Lidocaine.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Benralizumab reduces the exacerbation rate in patients with a history of asthma exacerbations and uncontrolled asthma receiving ICS-LABA with or without oral corticosteroids and additional asthma controllers.
The wound infection rate in the groin after vascular surgery has been denoted to be high since the wound surveillance register started in 2005. The current wound infection rate based on a validation study was 22.9% (24/105 patients with groin incision(s) between 1 March to 30 June in 2012). This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate if negative pressure wound therapy on closed inguinal incisions (INPWT) after vascular surgical procedures can reduce the risk for surgical site infections and other wound complications.
Atelectasis is common during and after general anesthesia. The investigators hypothesized that a ventilation strategy with a combination of 1) continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) and 2) a reduced end-expiratory oxygen fraction (FETO2) before commencing mask ventilation with CPAP after extubation would reduce the area of postoperative atelectasis.
This is a multi-center, open-label Phase Ib dose escalation part followed by a randomized double-blinded placebo controlled Phase II part. The Phase Ib part will determine the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD)/Recommended Phase II Dose (RP2D) of buparlisib in combination with docetaxel. Subsequently the MTD/RP2D will be investigated in a Phase II randomized trial in patients with advanced or metastatic squamous NSCLC.
The objective of this study is to describe the effect of optimized retreatment with bortezomib in combination with dexamethasone followed by prolonged therapy with bortezomib, versus standard retreatment with bortezomib in combination with dexamethasone on progression free survival (PFS).
