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 purpose of this study is to compare the recovery after an operation of an incisional hernia within the limits of the rectus muscles of the abdominal wall. The use of a mesh in the repair of a postoperative hernia is considered obligatory. Placement of a retromuscular mesh is done by open or laparoscopic surgery. Focus is on the recovery phase assuming a less painful recovery after a laparoscopic procedure.
Patients on immunosuppressive therapy, e.g. organ recipients, have a higher occurrence of AK than the untreated population. Keratotic lesions (i.e. AK lesions and warts) in this population is highly associated with development of SCC also with 10 times higher mortality rate because of SCC than expected. The risk of developing skin cancer, predominantly SCC and BCC, increases with graft survival time and the length of immunosuppressive treatment period. The higher risk of developing skin malignancy and more aggressive skin malignancies in this population, indicate the need for early removal of these pre-malignant lesions. In this study, two contralateral areas (5x10 cm2) with skin lesions within the patient will be compared. One area will receive Metvix PDT at defined intervals and the other will receive lesion specific treatment at the discretion of the investigator. The primary end-point will be the accumulated number of new lesions during the study and number of AK lesions that show complete response 3 months after baseline. Secondary endpoints will be number of BCC lesions that show complete response, number of recurrent lesions, assessment of cosmetic outcome and safety.
The purpose of this study will be to determine whether tapentadol (CG5503) is effective and safe in the treatment of chronic tumor related pain compared to placebo. In addition tapentadol (CG5503) will also be compared to morphine controlled release, also referred to as slow release (SR). *Tapentadol prolonged-release (PR) is the term used in the European Union and is referred to as extended release (ER) in the United States.
In this study, the efficacy and safety of two nilotinib doses, 300 mg twice daily and 400 mg twice daily, were compared with imatinib 400 mg once daily in newly diagnosed patients with Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia in the chronic phase (CML-CP). An extension protocol was included in this study design to allow patients who did not show sufficient response to their assigned treatments the opportunity to receive imatinib 400 mg BID (option available until protocol amendment 7) or nilotinib 400 mg BID, using an abbreviated safety and efficacy assessment schedule.
The purpose of the study is to determine the safety, tolerability and efficacy of 2 doses of PBT2 administered for 12 weeks compared to placebo in patients with early Alzheimer's disease treated with an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether investigational study drug, AG-013736, and gemcitabine are effective in the first-line treatment of advanced pancreatic cancer.
The purpose of this study is to determine if antibiotic treatment of appendicitis is an option compared to surgery. The investigators' hypothesis is that a majority of patients with appendicitis can heal without surgery and that there are several advantages with antibiotic treatment related to time to recover, complications and economical aspects.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) with methyl aminolevulinate (MAL) cream to cryotherapy, in treatment of patients with primary superficial basal cell carcinoma. Secondary objectives are to compare cosmetic outcome and tolerability (adverse events) in these patients, 3 months after treatment. In addition the recurrence rates in the two treatment groups will be compared up to five years after treatment.
This is a study to count the number of white blood cells in the cerebrospinal fluid and blood at the beginning and end of treatment with firategrast and at 4 and 12 weeks after stopping firategrast. Cerebrospinal fluid flows through and protects the brain and spinal cord. It is important to understand what happens to the number of white blood cells because they are important in preventing infections.
This trial is conducted in Africa, Asia, Europe, Oceania and South America. This trial aims for a comparison of biphasic insulin aspart 30 once daily versus insulin glargine once daily all in combination with metformin and glimepiride in insulin naive subjects with type 2 diabetes.
