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 of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of single doses of three different dry powder inhalation formulations of AZD3199 administered via Single Inhalation Device (SID) compared to AZD3199 administered via Turbuhaler™ Inhaler and compared to placebo in patients with persistent asthma.
Ceplene/IL-2 remission maintenance therapy has been shown to significantly prolong Leukemia Free Survival in patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) in first complete remission. This is an international, multicenter, open-label study to evaluate the effects of remission maintenance therapy with Ceplene/IL-2 in adult patients with AML in CR1 on specific immune system cells (T and NK cells) and prospectively defined markers of immune response that are known to reflect T and NK cell ability to combat AML.
The trial compares two different techniques for reconstruction of the lesser pelvic floor after an extended abdominoperineal excision for locally advanced rectal cancer. The alternative reconstruction techniques in the trial are: - a technique using a gluteus maximus myocutaneous flap or - a technique using an acellular porcine collagen implant (biological mesh) The primary endpoint will be physical performance six months from operation and our hypothesis is that the technique using an acellular porcine implant will cause less impaired physical performance compared to the technique using a myocutaneous flap. The study is interventional, randomized and by definition a comparative effectiveness research project.
The aim of this study is to determine whether initiation of ticagrelor as early as in the ambulance setting leads to a rapid reperfusion of the infarct-related artery therefore facilitating the Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) and optimizing the outcome for the patient. The study will assess the efficacy and safety of pre-hospital compared to in-hospital administration of ticagrelor in co-administration with aspirin, on restoring the blood flow in the occluded heart artery and improving the myocardial perfusion in patients suffering from myocardial infarction and planned to have a PCI. Patients can be randomised in either one of the 2 arms: re-hospital ticagrelor arm: Patients will receive a loading dose of 180 mg ticagrelor for the pre-hospital administration and placebo for in-hospital administration. or In-hospital ticagrelor arm: Patients will receive a placebo for pre-hospital administration and 180 mg ticagrelor loading dose for in-hospital administration. Patients are initially managed by ambulance physician/personnel in pre hospital settings. They are then transferred into a Catheterization room to undergo a PCI. After the administration of the loading dose of ticagrelor (double blind), patients will continue on ticagrelor 90 mg bid and be followed in study for 30 days post randomisation.
The purpose of this study is to determine if heart failure subjects whose treatment is assisted by home BNP measurements integrated into a home health management system will have better clinical outcomes than subjects whose treatment includes home health management without BNP or than subjects treated by standard care.
Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) is an effective treatment for obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) but there is a lack of properly trained CBT therapists. One possible treatment alternative is Internet-based CBT (ICBT) with minimal therapist input. The aim of this study was therefore to evaluate ICBT for OCD.
In Crohn's Disease Patients - To evaluate the efficacy of TRK-170 - To evaluate the PK characteristics of TRK-170 - To assess the safety of TRK-170
This randomised, open-label, phase III study will be performed in patients with R/M head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) who have progressed after platinum-based therapy. The objectives of the trial are to compare the efficacy and safety of afatinib versus methotrexate
This randomised, double-blind phase III trial will be performed in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). The objectives of the trial are to compare the efficacy and safety of afatinib (BIBW 2992) with placebo as adjuvant therapy to patients who have received definitive chemo-radiotherapy.
A placebo (Part A) and placebo and active comparator controlled (Part B), double-blind and randomized study to assess safety and tolerability of a new drug (BAY94-8862) given orally
