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.
Following stroke, a recovery process is promptly initiated, which leads to a partial rehabilitation. However, a number of disabling residual symptoms may persist for years and include mental fatigue, depression, cognitive deficits, neurological problems and more. In the lack of an effective treatment these symptoms will lead to major consequences for the individual and the surrounding society. OSU6162 has in earlier clinical studies of stroke patients shown evidence of a favorable effect on residual symptoms, especially mental fatigue, together with a mild side effect profile. In this phase II, randomized, placebo-controlled, two-armed study, a 16 week OSU6162 treatment will be compared to an equally long placebo treatment in patients with residual symptoms following stroke.
Study objectives: Immunity, Inflammation, and Brain Function To determine the effect of supplements with probiotics, Omega-3 and Vitamin D on the inflammatory marker highly sensitive CRP (primary outcome), markers of inflammation (secondary outcome), and gastrointestinal barrier function (secondary outcome) in elderly and obese cohorts that exhibit elevated inflammation at baseline. Mobility To determine the effect of supplements with probiotics, Omega-3 and Vitamin D on joints, bones, and muscles by means of the WOMAC questionnaire, sit/stand test (muscle function) and CTX-I (cartilage degradation) as secondary endpoints in elderly and obese cohorts that exhibit elevated inflammation at baseline.
This study aims to evaluate safety and effect of combining an oncolytic adenovirus (delolimogene mupadenorepvec; LOAd703) with atezolizumab in patients with melanoma. LOAd703 will be administered intratumorally for up to 12 injections while atezolizumab will be administered intravenously for the duration of the active study visits (up to 57 weeks). The patients are then monitored for survival for maximum study participation of 48 months. The treatments will be given every 3 weeks. The patients will then be monitored for toxicity, PK, ADA, immune responses, virus shedding, tumor response by RECIST 1.1 and survival.
A cross-sectional study (N=400) will investigate the prevalence of symptom preoccupation and its role in AF-related disability. Subjectively-rated assessments will be gathered from 400 AF patients.
The main purpose of the study is to conduct an initial feasibility evaluation of the new Internet-based EAET treatment manual. We will include 50 patients with somatic symptom disorder to take part of the treatment for nine weeks through the Internet. A within-subject design will be used. Self-report measures of symptom level and mechanisms of change will be conducted weekly. Feedback on content, process and potential caveats will be collected using surveys and written evaluations from the participants at post-treatment. Linear mixed models will be used to investigate trajectories of change in symptoms and processes.
This study evaluates the addition of the CADScorSystem to a standard Diamond-Forrester score guided rule-out strategy in ambulatory patients referred with symptoms suggestive of stable coronary artery disease. Half of the patients will undergo stratification using a Diamond-Forrester score only, while the other half will undergo stratification using a Diamond-Forrester score and a CAD-score. The study hypothesis is that the addition of a CAD-score will reduce unnecessary testing without compromising patient safety.
The heterogeneity of depression suggests that different neurocircuits and pathophysiological mechanisms are involved. Anhedonia - the inability to experience pleasure from, or the lack of motivation to carry out, usually enjoyable activities - is an endophenotype within the depression spectrum, with a distinct pathophysiology of dopaminergic mesolimbic projections. Anhedonia is common in depression and associated with treatment resistance. Pramipexole, an agonist to the dopamine -receptor 3, is an established treatment of Parkinson's disease. Based on its mechanism of action, pramipexole might be efficacious in a subtype of depression characterized by anhedonia and lack of motivation - symptoms linked to dopaminergic hypofunction. In this proof-of-concept pilot study the investigators test the anti-anhedonic and antidepressant effects of add-on pramipexole using an "enriched population study design" including only depressed patients with significant anhedonia. To understand the neurobiology of anhedonia in depression and to identify treatment predictors, the investigators also do assessments of anhedonia-related neurocircuitry using (f)MRI and blood biomarkers.
The overall objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and diagnostic efficacy of Mangoral in liver MRI in participants with known or suspected focal liver lesions and severe renal impairment. The diagnostic efficacy of Mangoral will be assessed in terms of visualization of detected focal liver lesions in combined MRI (CMRI: combined Mangoral-enhanced and unenhanced MRI) compared to unenhanced MRI.
An observational web-based survey on therapist adherence to evidence-based cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) in the perspective of their patients with depression or anxiety disorders in psychiatric outpatient care in Stockholm, Sweden. Following completion of CBT, participants respond to questions including their age, gender, education, whether they have improved, whether they considered treatment helpful, and an instrument measuring therapist adherence to CBT procedures (e.g., setting agenda, follow up on home assignments) and CBT techniques (e.g., exposure, cognitive restructuring). The purpose of the study is to contribute to quality assurance of CBT in Stockholm Health Care Services.
Prior to a properly powered randomized controlled study, evaluating efficacy and cost-effectiveness of ICBT, we will conduct a pilot study to investigate if the trial design is feasible, if therapist-guided and self-guided internet-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy (ICBT) is acceptable for adolescents with depression and to provide preliminary clinical efficacy data.
