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 purpose is to test whether dose densified chemoimmunotherapy followed by central nervous system (CNS) prophylaxis for young high risk diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients is feasible and could improve time to treatment failure and reduce the risk of CNS relapses. Six courses of rituximab-cyclophosphamide-doxorubicin-etoposide-vincristine-prednison (R-CHOEP) given in two weeks intervals with the support of G-CSF is followed by one course of high dose methotrexate (HD-MTX) and high dose cytarabine (HD-Ara-C). The results will be compared to a historical Nordic study.
This study is a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to evaluate the effect of an internet-based, guided self-help treatment of reoccurring and distressing nightmares. Imagery Rehearsal Therapy (IRT) will be compared to an active control treatment (CONT) and a recording-only group (REG). It is hypothesized that both active treatments will be superior to REG, and that IRT will be superior to CONT.
The purpose of this study is to test if cancer patients who are informed about, and offered participation in a cancer clinical trial, are more knowledgeable about cancer clinical trials if they have access to an audio recording of their information visit.
The aim of this study is to explore whether an intensified informational intervention built upon the Representational approach framework can reduce stress in parents of children with cancer.
The overall objective is to study if training and support, financial reimbursement and referral to an internet based brief intervention programme, singly or in combination, may increase implementation of evidence based methods of identification and brief intervention for excessive alcohol consumption in routine primary health care.
For subjects in Europe that have already participated in either Study SPD503-315 or SPD503-316. This is an extension study that will allow participants access to Extended-release Guanfacine Hydrochloride (HCl) for up to 2 years. This study will help the sponsor evaluate long-term safety and tolerability of Extended-release Guanfacine HCl (SPD503).
This study is conducted in Europe. The aim of this study is to evaluate ease of injection of growth hormone in patients using Norditropin NordiFlex® with NordiFlex PenMate™. Convenience and tolerability of NordiFlex PenMate™ - an automatic injection and a needle hiding device - is also evaluated.
The objectives of this study are to assess the safety and efficacy of AA4500 in the retreatment of recurrent contractures in joints that were effectively treated with AA4500 in a previous Auxilium-sponsored Phase 3 study.
Psychological Impact, Metabolic Control, and Biological Stress Markers in Diabetes: Intervention Study With Affect School and Basal Body Awareness Background: Depression is common in patients with diabetes and is associated with impaired metabolic control. Alexithymia has been associated with depression, anxiety, stress related disorders and diabetes mellitus. Affect School (AS) is an intervention that may reduce depression and alexithymia according to previous research. Basic Body Awareness Therapy (BBA) is a stress-reducing technique. Purpose: Our aim is to: 1. Analyze the prevalence of depression and anxiety and the personality variables alexithymia and self image in diabetes patients. 2. Explore correlations between these variables and risk factors, including biochemical markers for diabetic complications. 3. To evaluate an intervention with AS and BBA in patients with diabetes that scored high in psychometric self-report tests and at the same time showed impaired metabolic control. Method: A randomized controlled trial of 350 people with diabetes, 18-59 years, 56% men, 44% women. Base-line study: from medical records and the National Diabetes Registry - waist circumference, BMI, blood pressure, type and duration of diabetes, diabetes complications, other diseases, medications, exercise habits and smoking. Tests - A1c, blood lipids, cytokines, hormones, beta-cell antibodies, c-peptide, midnight cortisol (salivary). Self-report tests of psychological and personality variables: HAD, TAS-20, SASB. Intervention: patients with A1c ≥ 8 and anxiety (HAD ≥ 8), depression (HAD ≥ 8), negative self-image (SASB: AFF <284) or alexithymia (TAS-20 ≥ 61) were randomized to AS or BBA. AS: 8 group sessions followed by 10 individual sessions. Instructors were a primary care physician and a psychotherapist. BBA: 9 group meetings and 6 individual sessions with a physiotherapist as instructor. Post intervention: Self report tests, A1c, cytokines, hormones, cortisol.
This study in COPD patients will investigate the bronchodilatory effect of AZD2115. AZD2115 will be tested versus placebo and active comparators. The safety and tolerability of AZD2115 including investigations of clinically relevant systemically mediated effects will also be investigated.
