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 global study was to demonstrate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of an intravenous (i.v.) regimen of secukinumab compared to placebo in participants with active ankylosing spondylitis (AS) or non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (nr-axSpA ) at Week 16 despite current or previous non-steroidal anti inflammatory drugs (NSAID), disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARD) and/or anti Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) therapy. In addition, to further support efficacy and safety of an i.v. regimen, data was collected for up to 52 weeks of treatment.
This Is a Multicenter, Randomized, Open-Label, Parallel-Group, Phase 2 Study to Compare the Efficacy and Safety of Lenvatinib in Combination with Ifosfamide and Etoposide Versus Ifosfamide and Etoposide in Children, Adolescents, and Young Adults with Relapsed or Refractory Osteosarcoma.
The Fondazione per la Ricerca Ospedale di Bergamo (FROM) decided to propose and promote the completion of ERNEST registry: the aim of the project is to obtain up-to-date estimates of clinical outcome of these patients in primary and secondary Myelofibrosis that have been included in the 'original' ERNEST study. The last was conducted between 2012 and beginning of 2015 including 1292 patients with Myelofibrosis, but it was interrupted in 2015 because of bankruptcy of the previous sponsor.
From prospectively collected health and life-style data and anthropometric data in the Malmo Diet and Cancer (MDC) cohort identify factors that predicts or are associated with forthcoming fracture in middle-aged men and women.
Overweight and obesity are increasing and more than 50% of all people over 18 years in Sweden are overweight or obese. Main causes are changes in lifestyle habits regarding diet and physical activity. Obesity increases the risk of various diseases such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, arthrosis and cancer; it also affects the quality of life. Losing 5-10% of body weight can improve metabolic health and quality of life. However, weight loss is difficult to achieve and especially to maintain over a longer period of time. Treatment based on cognitive behavioral therapy improves long-term outcomes. A behavioral treatment program via the Internet has been developed that contains 12 treatment modules that the patient follows for 6 months. The patient has regular contact with a therapist who follows the patient's treatment process and provides support. The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate the Internet-based treatment regarding weight reduction, change in eating habits, physical activity and quality of life. We also intend to investigate how feasible and user-friendly the treatment program is and the patients' experiences of the treatment effects.
A study on overweight patients undergoing anesthesia for laparoscopic surgery. - evaluation of positive end-expiratory pressure versus zero positive end-expiratory pressure during awakening on oxygenation in the early postoperative period.
A prospective randomized study on patients with late in the bag intraocular lens (IOL) dislocation after cataract surgery. Two surgical techniques of suturing of IOL to the sclera will be compared in the study. IOL position will be compared between those two groups, as well to a control group consisting of ordinary pseudophakia where only measurement of IOL position will be performed.
Emotion regulation difficulties appear to play a role in the development and maintenance of several eating disorders. This pilot study aims at examining whether a short add-on group skills training in emotion regulation for young adults with different eating disorders is feasible in a psychiatric clinical setting. We also investigate if the treatment increases knowledge of emotions, and decreases self-reported difficulties with emotion regulation, alexithymia, symptoms of eating disorder, anxiety and depression, as well as clinical impairment. Six skills training groups were piloted with a total of 29 participants (M = 21.41 years, SD = 1.92). The treatment consists of five sessions dealing with psychoeducation about emotions and emotion regulation skills training. Paired samples t-test was used to compare differences between before-and-after measures.
The aim of this study is to investigate the feasibility of sentinel node biopsy in patients with squamous cell vulvar cancer, currently not regarded suitable for the sentinel node technique, i.e. patients with tumors ≥4cm, multifocal tumors or locally recurrent disease. A positive result of this pilot study might constitute the basis for a future full-scale multinational trial.
Childhood obesity is still a major global health issue. The preschool age (2-5 years) has been identified as a critical period to intervene, Mobile technology (mHealth) has been successful for weight loss and behavior changes in adults. This proposed randomized controlled trial aims to assess the effectiveness of an 6-month intervention program, the Mobile-based intervention to stop obesity in preschoolers (MINISTOP) 2.0 mobile phone app integrated in primary child health care for parents of children aged 2.5 years. The MINISTOP 2.0 app is built on the previous MINISTOP 1.0 app. Five hundred children will be recruited at their routine visit at 2.5 years of age and after baseline measures randomized to the intervention or control group. In addition, the investigators will assess acceptability, feasibility and appropriateness of the app by parents and primary child health care nurses.
