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.
In a randomized control trial conducted in six study centers/labour wards in Sweden, consenting nulliparous women in active phase of labour and with a defined delayed labour progress will be randomized to receive a regimen of either high or low dose of oxytocin. Primary outcome is caesarean delivery rate. Secondary outcomes are: Apgar score, need of neonatal intensive care, hyper-stimulation of contractions, spontaneous vaginal birth rate, length of labour, postpartum haemorrhage, sphincter lacerations, experienced labour pain, epidural analgesia and the women´s childbirth experience one month postpartum (assessed with Childbirth Experience Questionnaire). Study results will contribute to establish good evidence-based routines regarding oxytocin treatment of delayed labour progress.
The purpose of the study is to investigate fixation to bone and the clinical results following shoulder resurfacing arthroplasty. The study will compare results between an implant made of Cobalt-Chrome(CoCr) and an implant made in pyrocarbon.
The overall aim of the PregMet 2 Study is to investigate whether metformin prevents late miscarriages and preterm deliveries in PCOS women treated with metformin from first trimester of pregnancy to delivery in a large, randomized, controlled, multi-centre trial setting. The investigators hypothesis is that metformin compared to placebo treatment from the first trimester to term, reduces the prevalence of late miscarriage (gestational week 13-22) and preterm birth (gestational week < 37) in PCOS women diagnosed according to Rotterdam 2003 consensus criteria, with singleton pregnancy.
The purpose of the study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in patients with severe, symptomatic Aortic Stenosis (AS) at intermediate surgical risk by randomizing patients to either Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement (SAVR) or TAVI with the Medtronic CoreValve® System. Single Arm: The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of transcatheter aortic valve implementation (TAVI) in patients with severe symptomatic Aortic Stenosis (AS) at intermediate surgical risk with TAVI. This is a non-randomized phase of the pivotal clinical trial.
The purpose of the study was to investigate the efficacy of intake of whey or soy protein isolates, respectively, with or without supplementation of amino acids, on post-meal insulin secretion and glycaemic regulation. Additionally, the effect on plasma amino acids, gut hormones and ghrelin in plasma, as well as subjective satiety was investigated.
This is a three armed prospective randomized trial that will compare two different surgical techniques for reconstruction of the abdominal wall diastasis with a conservative treatment procedure. The study hypothesis: Which surgical approach provides the safest and best long term results for patients with abdominal wall diastasis either the insertion of net alternative with a double row suture or exercise alone?
This was a two-arm, double-blinded, randomized, Phase III study comparing dabrafenib and trametinib combination therapy to dabrafenib administered with a placebo (dabrafenib monotherapy). Subjects with histologically confirmed cutaneous melanoma that is either Stage IIIC (unresectable) or Stage IV, and BRAF V600E/K mutation positive were screened for eligibility. Subjects who had prior systemic anti-cancer treatment in the advanced or metastatic setting were not eligible although prior systemic treatment in the adjuvant setting was allowed. Subjects were stratified according to the baseline lactate dehydrogenase level and BRAF genotype.
Objectives To evaluate the impact of taste disturbance in different types of chronic middle ear diseases and after middle ear surgery. Hypothesis That patients with chronic otitis media and cholesteatoma has taste disturbance already before surgery due to the disease itself, of course depending on degree of the disease. That patients with otosclerosis, has a normal nerve function before surgery. That patients with normal taste before surgery are more likely to notices a taste disturbance. That nerve in continuity after surgery, even if it is maltreated, gives less taste disturbance than a divided nerve. Methods A clinical study has been launched that measures taste function with two different methods for taste measurements, electrogustometry (EGM) and the filter paper disc method (FPD) before and after middle ear surgery in patients operated with middle ear surgery because of otosclerosis, chronic otitis media and cholesteatoma. The investigators plan to include 120 patients in this study. A parallel study of the patients own experience of the symptom has also been launched were the patients answer a questionary and a quality of life document. The investigators plan to include 300 patients in this study. A histological study where specimens of CTN from healthy ears and from ears with chronic disease will be investigated with electron microscopy has also started.
Apremilast is a new, orally available, small molecule drug that specifically inhibits phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4), an enzyme that modulates inflammatory cytokines. This clinical study tests whether apremilast can improve the signs and symptoms of ankylosing spondylitis.
This study is designed to determine if opioid dependent subjects who are already receiving Subutex and/or Suboxone can transfer to RBP-6300. Upon completing the study, subjects will continue their pre-study prescribed dosage of Subutex and/or Suboxone
