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 clinical investigation is a device-based open, prospective, multicenter two-arm randomized trial, comparing patients who are treated in the slow VT zone versus patients who are not treated in that zone. The device intended to be used is the OVATIOTM CRT model 6750 but future generation of Sorin Group/ ELA Medical devices may be used provided they are CE marked. Ethics committees and health authorities will be informed prior to any use of a newer device if applicable. All patients will have a 3-zone detection configuration programmed. The slow VT zone will be defined by programming the detection parameters as follows: - Slow VT detection rate: 100 bpm (or if the resting rate is higher than 80 bpm, we recommend to adjust this parameter to: resting rate + 30 bpm) - VT detection rate: 150 bpm PARAD+ will be the first choice for SVT/ST and VT discrimination in the VT zones. The Fast VT and VF limits are left to investigator's judgment. Therapy on VT, fast VT and VF are also left to the investigator's judgment. Patients will be randomized at implant to have the slow VT zone programmed as a monitoring zone (monitoring arm) or to have therapies programmed within the slow VT zone (therapy arm). The randomization table will be generated by Sorin Group/ELA Medical.
The present study is assessing the efficacy and safety of AVE5530 (25 mg and 50 mg) in add-on to ongoing statin treatment in a double-blind manner in comparison with placebo, in the management of patients with primary hypercholesterolemia considered as inadequately controlled despite their ongoing statin treatment. The main objective is to evaluate the effects of the association AVE5530+statin on LDL-C level reduction after 12 weeks of treatment. The effects of AVE5530 on other lipid parameters will be assessed as secondary objectives.
The objective of this study is to determine whether aprepitant blocks the opiate reward system in non-dependent opiate abusers, indicating its potential as a safe, non-addictive first line therapy for early heroin abuse.
A randomized, double-blind, clinical trial to assess the safety and efficacy of two doses of oral cladribine versus placebo in participants who had a first clinical demyelinating event (clinically isolated syndrome). Participants in either the cladribine or placebo group may also enter treatment periods with open-label interferon-beta or open-label cladribine depending upon the disease status. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of two dosage regimens of oral cladribine versus placebo on the time to conversion to multiple sclerosis (MS) (from randomization) according to the Poser criteria in participants with first clinical demyelinating event at high risk of converting to MS.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Diamyd (rhGAD65 formulated in alum) is effective in preserving the body's own insulin producing capacity in patients recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes.
This study is investigating how patients with severe stable state COPD perceive the variability of their symptoms throughout the day, the week and the year; the impact of these variations on their daily activities or sleep quality and how they deal with their treatments. For this purpose patients will be asked to answer a questionnaire over the phone
The primary objective was to compare the efficacy of once daily [q.d] subcutaneous [s.c.] injections of Semuloparin sodium (AVE5026) with q.d. s.c. injections of Enoxaparin for the prevention of Venous Thromboembolic Events [VTE] in patients undergoing hip fracture surgery. The secondary objectives were to evaluate the safety of AVE5026 in patients undergoing hip fracture surgery, and to document AVE5026 exposure in this population.
This study is being conducted to provide a direct comparison of the efficacy, safety and tolerability for pazopanib and sunitinib (SUTENT)
This single-arm study evaluated the long-term efficacy and safety of tocilizumab in participants who had completed treatment in the tocilizumab core studies (NCT00106522 [Roche protocol WA18062], NCT00106574 [Roche protocol WA18063], and NCT00109408 [Roche protocol WA17824]) of adults with rheumatoid arthritis. Participants received tocilizumab alone or in combination with standard anti-rheumatic treatment.
The objective of this trial is to demonstrate superior efficacy and safety of MACI compared with arthroscopic microfracture in the treatment of patients (aged 18 to 55 years) with symptomatic articular cartilage defects of the knee.
