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.
Evaluation of headache response at 2 hours for active treated attacks for increasing dose.
The aim of this trial is to evaluate efficacy and safety of treatment with 600 mg of BID BI 207127 in combination with 120 mg QD Faldaprevir and RBV compared to a Telaprevir-based regimen along with PegIFN and RBV in chronically infected HCV GT1 treatment naïve patients, including patients with compensated cirrhosis.
The study will evaluate [68Ga]ABY-025 for PET imaging of HER2 expression in subjects with HER2-positive or HER2-negative breast cancer.
The objective of this randomized controlled clinical trial is to evaluate the outcome of treatment of peri-implantitis with or without systemic antibiotics. Specific aims are to analyze (i) the effect of systemic antibiotics and local antiseptics on the healing process, and (ii) the risk for recurrence of disease following surgical treatment of peri-implantitis.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if ibrutinib administered in combination with rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP) improves the clinical outcome in newly diagnosed patients with non-germinal center B-cell subtype (GCB) of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) selected by immunohistochemistry (IHC) or newly diagnosed patients with activated B cell-like (ABC) subtype of DLBCL identified by gene expression profiling (GEP) or both populations.
This study will contribute to the evaluation of long-term safety, tolerability and efficacy of evolocumab (AMG 145) in adults with hyperlipidemia and adults with mixed dyslipidemia.
This trial investigates the behavioral effects of manualized social skills training (KONTAKT) in children´s and adolescents with high-functioning autism spectrum disorder with psychiatric comorbidity in a RCT, multicenter study. N = 288 are recruited from 10 child and adolescent psychiatric clinics in Stockholm County. The examination of genetic variants as predictors for outcome and a qualitative study of KONTAKT complete the trial.
Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are early onset chronic conditions coined by deficits in social reciprocity, communication and stereotypic interests and activities. Other functional impairments such as mental retardation, ADHD, known genetic syndromes and epilepsy are frequent coexisting problems. ASD cause considerable suffering for the affected individuals and burden for their families. With an estimated prevalence exceeding 1%, recent population-based studies suggest that ASD are no rare phenomena. Lifetime societal costs for services and support, together with the opportunity costs of lost productivity in a prototypic developed country are estimated SEK 15.6 million for someone with and SEK 10.3 million for a person without co-existing mental retardation. Despite ongoing efforts, no diagnostically informative biomarker has yet been identified for ASD. The development, refinement and evaluation of behavioral assessment tools has therefore been decisive to progress and quality assurance in ASD clinical practice and research. The most widely used and thoroughly evaluated instruments for ASD in international child mental health are the Autism Diagnostic Interview- Revised (ADI-R) and the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS). The ADI-R and ADOS are deemed highly by the ASD expert community and thus commonly labeled as being the "gold standard" in ASD diagnostics. Although, Swedish translations of the ADI-R and ADOS exist, a Swedish standardization and cross-cultural validation is still lacking, impeding good clinical practice and research prerequisites for ASD in Sweden. The applied project seeks to broadly establish reliability and validity of the Swedish translations of the ADI-R and ADOS in order to enhance evidence-based clinical practice and stimulate internationally competitive ASD research in Sweden.
In this study, the differential effectiveness of CBT and IPT for patients with Major Depressive Disorder, who rate their depression as mild or moderate, will be studied. Both methods are evidence based and recommended by the National Board of Health in Sweden. They are manual based and the patients will receive 14 sessions in each therapy. Their comparative effectiveness has not been studied in Sweden, and their effectiveness with regard to work capacity has not been tested. The hypotheses in the study are that they have equal effect for depression remission, but that CBT is superior when return to work is measured. Three moderator analyses, testing effects for different subgroups, will be made. They propose that patients with attachment avoidance and lower mentalization ability and male patients will have better outcome with CBT. The study will be performed at Sundsvall Hospital, in cooperation with Linköping University. Sundsvall hospital is the only hospital in Sweden where there is a group IPT therapists large enough to make a controlled study possible. The study has a randomized design, with 16 therapists, 8 of them delivering CBT and 8 IPT. The number of patients is 96. The statistical power is .87, with a hypothesized between-groups effect size of d = .40 for return to work, and the significance level of .05 for the between-groups difference. Outcome will be measured as remission of psychiatric diagnosis, decrease in depression severity and frequency of patients who return to work. Both intent-to-treat and completers analyses will be made. The project will go over two years. The study has an effectiveness character in the sense that treatments, although manual based, will be performed in the manner that the therapists usually work, and by having broad inclusion criteria. Treatment integrity will be ascertained by therapist reports and by filming sessions.
Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (INPH) is a treatable and a common disease of the elderly. The overall objective of this work is to describe cardio- and cerebrovascular risk factors and vascular disease in shunted INPH-patients compared to an age- and sex matched elderly population, as well as the impact of vascular risk factors and vascular co-morbidity on clinical symptoms and outcome of surgery in INPH-patients. The hypothesis is that INPH-patients have a higher level of vascular risk factors and subclinical organ damage than a normal elderly population, and that the higher the level of existing vascular risk factors, the more severe the symptoms of the hydrocephalic disease.
