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.
Several trials have found that nutritional supplementation can elicit an increased rate of skeletal muscle protein synthesis following a single bout of exercise in both young and older individuals. However, there have been no studies that have investigated if nutritional supplementation and exercise can cause a sustained increase in physical functioning and fat free mass, particularly in older adults with functional limitations. This study will compare the effects of a nutritional supplement versus a placebo on exercise training induced changes in physical functioning older adults who are at risk for mobility disability.
This trial is conducted globally. The aim of this trial is to assess the efficacy and safety of liraglutide in the paediatric population in order to potentially address the unmet need for treatment of children and adolescents with type 2 diabetes.
Cabazitaxel has shown significant efficacy as second line chemotherapy after Docetaxel in men with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer. This was demonstrated in the Tropic Study where Cabazitaxel showed survival superiority compared to mitoxantrone. Almost one in 4 patients treated with Cabazitaxel in this study required dose reductions or dose delays or stopped treatment due to toxicity. ConCab examines another scheduling for cabazitaxel to see if we can improve tolerability so that patients will receive a higher percentage of the treatment as planned.
This is an investigation of the efficacy and safety of CRD007 in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), Becker Muscular Dystrophy (BMD) and symptomatic carriers.
As low back pain is often a recurrent and sometime persistent problem, research into prevention is important. Chiropractors have traditionally treated patients with maintenance care, which means that patients are seen on a regular basis to prevent recurrences or to stop a persistent problem getting worse. However, it is not known if this has the expected effect. This study will test the effectiveness of the maintenance care approach. Patients with recurrent or persistent low back pain will be treated in accordance with two different models. The first model is the maintenance care model, meaning that chiropractors will see the patient on a regular basis, regardless symptoms. The other model means that patients should be treated patients only when they themselves experience symptoms bad enough to seek care. After one year, it will be possible to see if there has been any difference between the groups in terms of pain, disability, quality of life and total number of treatments over the study period and to investigate if there is any difference in the cost-effectiveness between the two treatment models.Thus, the study hypothesis is that there is no difference between the two models regarding the number of days with pain. This study will be a multi-centre trial, and as part of the study, it will be necessary to formalize a network of research clinics all over Sweden in which participating chiropractors accept to perform complex data collection. This network will then have the expertise and potential to perform future clinical studies together with networks in other countries, allowing large clinical trials across countries.
The objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Arestin (minocycline HCl) 1 mg Microspheres in the treatment of subjects with peri-implantitis, when used in combination with mechanical debridement. The hypothesis of the study is that Arestin in combination with mechanical debridement is more effective in the treatment of peri-implantitis when compared to mechanical debridement alone. The primary efficacy measure will be the reduction of probing depth at Day 180 as measured at qualifying implant sites.
The purpose of this study is to investigate to what extent patients with COPD, who have participated in physical training for 12 weeks, can maintain their physical activity behaviour and physical capacity on a long-term basis if they get a behavioural medicine intervention.
This is a phase III B, prospective, interventional, open-label, single-arm, multicenter study to provide regorafenib to subjects diagnosed with metastatic colorectal cancer who have failed after standard therapy and for whom no therapy alternatives exist, in the time between positive results and approval / availability on the market, and to collect safety data for regorafenib until market access. Regorafenib is an oral (i.e. taken by mouth) multi-targeted kinase inhibitor. A kinase inhibitor targets certain key proteins that are essential for the survival of the cancer cell. By specifically targeting these proteins, regorafenib may stop cancer growth. The growth of the tumor may be decreased by preventing these specific proteins from functioning. The primary endpoint of this study will be safety.
Today a large proportion of early abortions are medical, in accordance to the woman's choice. The main objective of the present study was to compare, in a randomised fashion, initiation of intrauterine contraception (IUC) at about 1 week versus 3 to 4 weeks post medical abortion with regard to expulsions and safety.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the beneficial effect of pancreas transplantation for long term kidney function in patients undergoing single-pancreas transplantation.
