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.
Single-dose nicotine pharmacokinetics with three oral nicotine replacement products.
The objective of this phase-III trial is to compare the efficacy and safety of sorafenib in combination with capecitabine versus capecitabine in combination with placebo in the treatment of subjects with locally advanced or metastatic HER2-negative breast cancer who are resistant to or have failed prior taxane and an anthracycline or for whom further anthracycline therapy is not indicated. After signing consent there can be up to 28 days before starting the treatment during which time a number of tests will be carried out which will include tumor evaluations and medical history. The following tests and evaluations will have to be done within 7 days of the start of treatment,on Day 1 of every cycle and at the end of study: Electrocardiogram, blood tests, patient quality of life questionnaires and a complete physical exam and vital signs. Treatment will be given in 21 day cycles with sorafenib/placebo to be taken every day for 21 days and capecitabine to be taken for the first 14 days. Patients will come in weekly for the first 6 weeks and then on Day1 for every cycle after the first 2 cycles. During the weekly visits the subjects will be check for any side effects and blood draws will happen for the study on Day 1 of each cycle. Subjects will be followed for overall survival.
This is a Phase 3 randomized, double blind, placebo controlled study of tasquinimod in asymptomatic to mildly symptomatic patients with metastatic CRPC to confirm the effect of tasquinimod on delaying disease progression compared with placebo. Approximately 1200 eligible patients with metastatic CRPC will be randomly assigned in a 2:1 ratio to 1 of 2 treatment groups: Treatment Group A (tasquinimod 0.25, 0.5, or 1 mg/day; n=800) or Treatment Group B (placebo; n=400).
This purpose of this study is to determine if bosutinib reduces the rate of kidney enlargement in subjects with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) entering the study with a total kidney volume greater than or equal to 750 cc and eGFR greater than or equal to 60 mL/min/1.73m2.
This randomized clinical phase III trial is testing the efficacy of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) in the treatment of colorectal carcinoma liver metastases. Primary end point is local progression free survival.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of inotuzumab ozogamicin plus rituximab in relapsed/refractory aggressive Non-Hodgkin lymphoma patients who are not candidates for intensive high-dose chemotherapy. Specifically, the goal is to demonstrate the superiority of this combination compared with an active comparator arm (investigator's choice of rituximab+bendamustine or rituximab+gemcitabine) using the primary endpoint of overall survival.
The study is investigator initiated. Tumors that gives the narrowing of the bile ducts prevents bile from flowing from the liver to the intestine resulting in jaundice and the risk of bacterial growth in bile with severe infections as a result. Unresectable bile duct strictures have routinely been treated them with plastic stents. The plastic stents have been replaced by self expandable metallic stents. These stents remain open longer for reasons that they have a larger diameter so that the bile flows through more easily. One problem with these stents, however, is that the tumor growing through the wire mesh which forms the wall of the stent. This has led to the development of so-called covered stents. Whether covered stents have longer patency is unclear as well as whether they are as safe. There is reason to believe that covered stents remain open longer, but there may be an increased risk of migration and other complications. The purpose is to prospectively and randomized compare the two stent types. The study endpoint is the clogging of the stent or the patient's death. We also monitor complications, regress time of the jaundice and success rate of stent placement
AMG 479 is an investigational fully human monoclonal antibody that targets type 1 insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGF-1R). Signaling through IGF-1R plays an important role in the regulation of cell growth and survival. Gemcitabine is administered on days 1, 8 and 15 of a 28 day cycle, AMG 479 or placebo is administered on days 1 and 15 of the 28 day cycle, both are administered intravenously. The primary purpose of the study is to determine if AMG 479 and gemcitabine improves overall survival as compared to placebo and gemcitabine.
The aim of this study is to evaluate whether primary stenting with self expanding stent in patients with peripheral arterial disease suffering from stable claudication due to superficial femoral artery disease results in improved patient outcomes, compared to conservative treatment alone as measured by improvement in Quality of Life scores at 12 months after treatment using established surveys. Patients will be followed up 24 months after treatment. Planned recruitment and randomization of 100 patients was completed June 2015.
Patients with metastatic colorectal cancer will be treated with chemotherapy according to investigators choice. In addition to chemotherapy treatment, treatment with bevacizumab will be given concomitantly. This treatment will continue during 18 weeks. Meanwhile, the patients KRAS status will be tested. After having fulfilled these 18 weeks of induction treatment, patients who has responded (complete response/partial response versus stable disease) will be randomized to maintenance treatment. Patients with KRAS WT will be randomized to either bevacizumab alone, or to bevacizumab and erlotinib. Patient with KRAS mutation will be randomized to either bevacizumab, or metronomic capecitabine. Translational research is performed, with purpose to find predictive factors in blood and tumor tissue.
