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.
Primary Objective: To compare the efficacy of a new formulation of insulin glargine and Lantus in terms of change of HbA1c from baseline to endpoint (scheduled at Month 6, Week 26) in participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus Secondary Objectives: To compare a new formulation of insulin glargine and Lantus in terms of: - occurrence of nocturnal hypoglycemia
Non-inferiority hypothesis; adenotonsillotomy is equally good as adenotonsillectomy in treating obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) in children after one, three and ten years.
This multicenter study will evaluate the correlation of interleukin 28B (IL28B) genotypes with disease characteristics and demographics in treatment-naïve and treatment-experienced chronic hepatitis C patients, including patients with HIV co-infection. There will be a single study visit for testing.
17p-/p53-mutated chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is an orphan disease, accounting for approximately 5% of newly diagnosed CLL. This subgroup of patients has a very poor outcome after chemoimmunotherapy. Allogeneic HCT may change the poor prognosis. In a retrospective EBMT-analysis on 44 patients with advanced 17p-CLL 2-year progression-free survival was 45% (95% CI, 30% to 60%) after allogeneic HCT (Allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation for chronic lymphocytic leukemia with 17p deletion: a retrospective European Group for Blood and Marrow Transplantation analysis. J Clin Oncol, 2008, 26, 5094-5100). Referring to these favorable results and small additional series, patients with 17p-CLL requiring therapy are considered to have an indication for allogeneic transplantation by many CLL study groups. Several CLL study groups recommend allogeneic HCT in 17p-CLL as part of the first- or second line treatment. The aim is to collect additional evidence on allogeneic HCT in 17p-/p53-mutated CLL in first or second remission by a non-interventional prospective study. Patients shall be registered prior to HCT at the Leiden Office in order to rule out a reporting bias after transplantation.
The main purposes with this trial is to investigate the potential of MRI with diffusion and blood volume, flow in brain to diagnose and to measure treatment effects in patients with intracranial tumors, especially gliomas and metastases in a prospective trial, to evaluate the possibilities to individually adjusted treatment in this category of patients depending on treatment outcomes measured by MRI, to perform clinical follow up in connection with MRI to evaluate a correlation and to perform testing of cognitive ability before, during, and after treatment and to investigate if given treatment causes any decrease in the patients habitual state.
Background Severe health anxiety, hypochondriasis according to DSM-IV, is common and associated with functional disability. Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) and behavioral stress management (BSM) have been showed to be effective in the treatment of severe health anxiety. The mechanisms of the treatments are however poorly understood. In addition, effective psychological treatments are accessible to only a few. One prior RCT has shown that internet-based CBT could be effective in comparison to waiting list controls. More studies on internet-based CBT is essential to establish evidence. In addition, few studies with sufficient power have investigated the effect of CBT in comparison to other active treatments. Aim of the study The aim of the present RCT is to compare internet-based CBT (n=110) to behavioral stress management (n=110) for adult participants with severe health anxiety. BSM is considered a comparison treatment for two reasons: it has been shown to be effective and it lacks exposure and response prevention, which is suggested to be an important mechanism in CBT. Participants in both treatments are expected to be significantly improved on measures of health anxiety. Participants receiving CBT are expected to be significantly more improved compared to participants receiving BSM.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether simtuzumab (GS-6624) is effective at preventing the progression of liver fibrosis in adults with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC).
This study describe the effect of partial neuromuscular blockade of rocuronium on the acute hypoxic ventilatory response in patients with OSA before and after 3 month of CPAP treatment.
The purpose with this study is to investigate whether gastric bypass surgery and the following weight reduction impact the tone in esophageal sphincters and the esophageal function. In a previous study our group used high resolution solid-state manometry to investigate the pressure in the esophagus and esophageal sphincters in obese patients going through laparoscopic bariatric surgery. These studies showed that the barrier pressure between the stomach and esophagus is significantly lower in obese compared to lean patients. In this study the investigators will examine these patients once more, now after weight reduction to see whether the barrier pressure is back to normal compared to lean patients.
This study examines whether a nurse monitored management program at the hospital heart failure outpatient clinic can improve quality of life in elderly patients with chronic heart failure, as compared to standard treatment in primary healthcare.
