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 was done with the primary aim of assessing the efficacy (as calculated by pain intensity difference) of patient controlled regional analgesia (PCRA) technique against oral analgesics, which has been the standard of care at our hospital. Secondary objectives were to analyze the volume and dose of LA that should be given, patient satisfaction and the long-term outcome for patients treated with the PCRA technique.
This study evaluated the 1 year safety, tolerability and efficacy of indacaterol against placebo in the treatment of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) patients
Eprotirome (KB2115) is a liver selective thyroid hormone that can induce hyperthyroidism in the liver, while an euthyroid state is preserved in the extrahepatic tissue. Eprotirome has in clinical trials demonstrated pronounced reduction of several independent risk factors for the development of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. The purpose of the study is to assess the efficacy and safety of KB2115 as add on therapy to ezetimibe following 10 weeks of exposure compared to placebo. The aim of the study is to assess efficacy (LDL-cholesterol lowering effects) and safety of KB2115 and to define a clinically relevant dose or dose range for future studies.
This study will compare the safety and efficacy of sunitinib in combination with prednisone versus placebo and prednisone in patients that have metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer that has progressed after treatment with a docetaxel-containing chemotherapy regimen. This is a second-line study.
This is a study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of multiple doses of bapineuzumab in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer Disease. Patients will receive either bapineuzumab or placebo. Each patient's participation will last approximately 1.5 years.
Bowel preparation can be a troublesome procedure for patients undergoing colonoscopy. For patients with cardio-vascular and kidney disorders it may be dangerous with traditional bowel preparation with regard to salt and electrolyte balance. This study's purpose is to find out if nutritional drinks can replace traditional bowel preparation before colonoscopy in regard to Bowel purity degree, disturbances in the salt and electrolyte balance in the nutritional group versus the group that gets traditional bowel preparation. And if the patients tolerate nutritional drinks better than traditional bowel preparation.
This study will assess whether an implantable defibrillator will increase the likelihood of survival in patients who have had a heart attack, have abnormal test results from a 24 hour heart monitor, and who have low normal heart function.
This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of methylnaltrexone administered as subcutaneous injections in subjects who have opioid-induced constipation and an advanced illness. The hypothesis is that methylnaltrexone will be safe and effective in relieving opioid-induced constipation in these subjects.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness and safety of 12 weeks of treatment with R256918 in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus who are taking metformin. The primary measure of effectiveness is the change in concentration of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) during treatment. Glycated hemoglobin is a substance in red blood cells that is formed when blood sugar (glucose) attaches to hemoglobin and is a measure of diabetic status. Additional measures include fasting glucose, and lipid levels, and body weight. Safety assessments performed during the trial include laboratory tests, vital sign measurements, and adverse event reporting.
The purpose of this trial is to study the effect of adjuvant or immediate hormonal therapy, versus placebo, in subjects who have either undergone a primary therapy (principally radical prostatectomy or radiotherapy) or who were otherwise to be managed by watchful waiting.
