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.
This study will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of MabThera (rituximab) in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis who are receiving methotrexate, and who have a previous or current inadequate response to one prior anti-TNF therapy. All patients will receive MabThera 1000 mg as an intravenous infusion on days 1 and 15. After the initial study phase of 24 weeks, eligible patients may receive one re-treatment with MabThera. The anticipated time on study treatment is 48 weeks.
This trial is conducted in Africa, Asia, Europe and the United States of America (USA). The aim of this trial is to investigate the potential of liraglutide to induce and maintain weight loss in overweight or obese subjects with type 2 diabetes. Treatment will be added onto subject's pre-trial background diabetes treatment of either diet and exercise only or single compound oral antidiabetic drug (OAD) treatment (metformin, sulphonylurea [SU] or glitazone) or combination OAD treatment (metformin, sulphonylurea or glitazone). The duration of the trial will be 56 weeks followed by a 12 week observational follow-up period.
The phase Ib part of the trial will assess the MTD of AUY922 in combination with Trastuzumab in patients with Trastuzumab-refractory locally advanced or metastatic HER2+. The MTD is defined as the highest drug dosage not causing in the first cycle of treatment (28 days) medically unacceptable dose limiting toxicity (DLT). The phase II part of the trial will assess any potential effect on efficacy of adding AUY922 to Trastuzumab in patients with Trastuzumab-refractory locally advanced or metastatic HER2+ breast cancer. Both AUY922 and Trastuzumab will be administered as a weekly IV infusion. Treatment should be continued as long as the patient does not have disease progression and tolerates the treatment. The following reasons are examples of acceptable reasons for discontinuing the study; tumor progression (by RECIST, as assessed by the investigator), unacceptable toxicity, death, or discontinuation from the study for any other reason, such as patient refusal, withdrawn consent, lost to follow-up or investigator decision.
Hypothesis: Basal insulin analogs with continuous 24-hour delivery of insulin improve glycemic control during the first year of treatment of children/adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM)by preserving endogenous insulin production and a close to normal balance of the GH-IGF-axis. This a randomized, open-label, parallel-group trial of 120 children, 7 - 17 years of age, newly diagnosed with T1DM. The investigators will investigate whether the use of long-acting basal insulin analogs Lantus (Glargine) or Levemir (Detemir) during the first year of treatment results in improved glycemic control (HbA1c) compared with Insulatard (NPH insulin) when given in a meal insulin therapy regimen with rapid acting Novorapid (insulin aspart). The investigators will explore possible mechanisms of action by determining remaining endogenous insulin production and changes in the GH-IGF-axis. The investigators will also assess changes in body composition and evaluate quality of life in each treatment arm.
The purpose of the study is to explore the safety and efficacy of a new once a day pregabalin formulation versus placebo for patients with post herpetic neuralgia (Shingles)
The primary objective of this study is to determine whether reslizumab, at a dosage of 0.3 or 3.0 mg/kg administered once every 4 weeks for a total of 4 doses, is more effective than placebo in improving lung function in patients with eosinophilic asthma.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether anti-inflammatory treatment with adalimumab (Humira) reduces endothelial activation in blood vessels in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis. Markers of endothelial activation are assessed in muscle tissue before treatment and after 3 months, and related to other biomarkers and clinical outcomes.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether systemic antibiotic treatment with rifampicin and clindamycine or trimethoprim-sulfa in addition to topical treatment with mupirocin is more effective than only topical treatment to eradicate MRSA in throatcarriers
The purpose of this study is to examine whether operation and fixation with a metal plate gives better result from the patient's perspective than plaster treatment in elderly patients with a displaced wrist fracture.
The purpose of the study is to provide continued access to TMC278 in HIV-1 infected patients who were randomized and treated with TMC278 in the Phase IIb or Phase III trials.
