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.
The investigators have recently discovered a genetic variant in an adrenergic receptor that leads to increased risk for type 2 diabetes. The investigators have also seen that blockers of that receptor improves impaired insulin secretion in animals. The investigators will now test the blocker in patients with type 2 diabetes with or without the risk variant in an effort to make diabetes treatment more individualized.
The investigators previous studies of aerobic exercise in women with fibromyalgia (FM) have shown that exercise improves body functions and/or symptom severity in most patients, but not in all. About a third of patients with FM have been shown to have low levels of IGF-1. The purpose of this project is to study individual and biological factors that interact with outcomes of short-term (acute) exercise in FM. Method. A controlled prospective exercise study. Thirty women with FM and 30 healthy age-matched women, aged 20-50 years, will be recruited to the study. Two 15-minute ergometer bicycle exercise tests will be conducted in feasting patients, separated by one month. The first exercise test is at a low and the second at a high intensity. Measurements comprise blood test, pain rating and pain threshold, conducted before and after the test. The levels of IGF-1, IL-6 and IL-8 will be measured, and the changes in them will be related to health status and pain.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of mindfulness based stress reduction intervention in women with breast cancer
A tailored Internet-based cognitive-behavioural intervention is tested within a primary care clinic. Weekly measures of symptoms of depression and anxiety are obtained. Significant within-group effects are expected.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether botulinum toxin A (BTX) adds a favourable effect to treatment of idiopathic toe-walking with below knee walking casts. The specific hypothesis to be tested is that a combination of BTX and casting is more effective than casting treatment alone in reducing toe-walking in 5-15 year old children. Evaluation methods include 3-D gait analysis, parents' perception of toe-walking frequency, passive joint range of motion measurements, and strength of ankle dorsal extension.
This is a multi-centre, multi-national, prospective, observational study of Huntington's disease (HD) with a control group of volunteers to: - obtain natural history data on many HD mutation carriers and individuals who are part of an HD family - relate phenotypical characteristics (genetic modifiers / wet and dry biomarkers) - expedite identification and recruitment of participants for clinical trials - develop and validate sensitive and reliable outcome measures for detecting onset and change over the natural course of premanifest and manifest HD which may also be potential outcome measures for use in future clinical trials and clinical care - plan for future research studies
This single-arm, open-label, multicenter extension study will provide continued bevacizumab therapy to participants with solid tumors who were previously enrolled in a Roche/Genentech sponsored study and who derived benefit from the bevacizumab therapy. Participants will receive the same dose and regimen of bevacizumab as used in the previous parent trial and continue this treatment until progression of disease or unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent or death whichever occurs first.
Hormonal disturbances in the GH-IGF-I axis are considered important for the deterioration of glycemic control in T1DM particularly in adolescents. In addition it may have direct implications on the development of insulin resistance and long-term complications. The Investigators hypothesis is that low circulating IGF-I and compensatory hyper-secretion of GH, in the presence of peripheral insulin excess, results in increased local IGF-I expression explaining both the deterioration in metabolic control and the increased risk for microvascular complications. Correction of imbalance in circulating and tissue-specific levels of IGF-I could lead to both better early metabolic control and to prevention of early diabetic complications in type 1 diabetic (T1DM) patients. Aim of the present study is to validate the microdialysis technique as a useable tool to predict local biological effects of IGF-1 and to understand the pharmacokinetics of local IGF-I actions after sc injection of Increlex in type 1 diabetic patients.
This is a four-week, Phase IIa, randomized, active-controlled, parallel-group, multi-center study to evaluate the safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetics of switching subjects from stable rhEPO to GSK1278863 in approximately 68 hemodialysis-dependent subjects with anemia associated with chronic kidney disease. The study consists of a screening phase of 2 weeks, a 4-week treatment phase and a 2-week follow-up phase. The range of Hgb values for study eligibility is 9.5-12.0 g/dL and the subjects must have received the same rhEPO product with total weekly doses that varied by no more than 50% during the 4 weeks prior to the Screening visit (Week -1. This study aims to estimate the relationship between dose of GSK1278863 and Hgb response in hemodialysis-dependent (HDD) subjects with anemia associated with chronic kidney disease after switching from a stable maintenance dose of recombinant human erythropoetin (rhEPO).
A Topical Treatment Optimisation Programme (TTOP) has been developed by the sponsor together with Patient Boards and an Expert Advisory Board to overcome non-adherence problems.
