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 is a research study of a new experimental drug called darusentan. Darusentan is not currently approved by the United States (U.S.) Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in the U.S., which means that a doctor cannot prescribe this drug. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety of darusentan in subjects with resistant systolic hypertension despite treatment with full doses of three or more antihypertensive medications, including a diuretic.
The study will compare the difference between lanreotide Autogel and placebo on progression free survival in patients who have an endocrine tumour in the pancreas or intestines.
To confirm the superiority of 5 mg daily risedronate as compared to placebo in maintaining or increasing bone mass in lumbar spine in osteopenic postmenopausal women To confirm the efficacy of 5 mg daily risedronate in osteopenic postmenopausal women in maintaining or increasing bone mass in proximal femur and decreasing bone resorption To confirm general safety of 5 mg daily risedronate as compared to placebo
To evaluate the efficacy of quetiapine fumarate sustained release (Seroquel SR™) in combination with an antidepressant versus an antidepressant alone in patients with Major Depressive Disorder. PLEASE NOTE: Seroquel SR and Seroquel XR refer to the same formulation. The SR designation was changed to XR after consultation with FDA.
An open-label, dose-adjustment, extension study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of eltrombopag for the treatment of subjects with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) who have previously been enrolled in an eltrombopag trial. This study will allow adjustment of the eltrombopag dose to achieve an individualized dose and schedule for each subject. In addition, the ability to reduce the dose of concomitant ITP medications in the presence of eltrombopag, while maintaining platelet counts = 50,000/microL will be investigated.
The primary objective of this study is to investigate the effects on RLS symptoms and sleep disturbance of pramipexole (Mirapexin) 0.125 mg/day to 0.75 mg/day per os for 12 weeks, compared to placebo, in the treatment of patients with idiopathic Restless Legs Syndrome
The purpose of this study is to assess the long-term safety and tolerability of [S,S]-Reboxetine in patients with chronic painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy
To study the effect of mild laser treatment on the incidence of exudative complications in soft drusen maculopathy. We hypothesise that mild laser treatment causing a proliferation of the retinal pigment epithelium and enhancing the capacity of clearing drusen material from Bruch's membrane.
Rosiglitazone (RSG) has been tested in clinical studies and is approved by the FDA as a treatment for type II diabetes mellitus, a disease that occurs when the body is unable to effectively use glucose. RSG XR, the investigational drug used in this study, is an extended-release form of RSG. This study tests whether RSG XR safely provides clinical benefit to people with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease (AD) when combined with one of the currently approved AD medications, Aricept®, Razadyne® or Exelon®. RSG XR is a new approach to AD therapy and this study tests a new way to treat AD by testing whether one's genetic makeup affects the response to the study drug. Clinical data suggesting that RSG may benefit AD patients was first seen in a small study performed at the University of Washington and then from a larger GSK study conducted in Europe and New Zealand. In the first study, subjects receiving RSG once daily for 6 months scored significantly better on 3 tests of memory and thought than those who did not receive RSG. In the GSK study, those that appeared to benefit most from treatment with RSG XR had a specific genetic pattern. They did not have the gene that caused them to produce the protein apolipoprotein E e4 (APOE e4). Subjects who have the APOE e4 gene may have two copies, one from each parent, or they may have only one APOE e4 gene meaning that they inherited either the APOE e2 or APOE e3 version of the gene, instead of APOE e4, from one of their parents. Subjects with one copy of the APOE e4 gene remained at their same level of thinking ability while those with two copies of the APOE e4 gene, continued to worsen during the 6-month treatment. The current study will more directly test the effectiveness or RSG XR on people who either have or lack the APOE e4 gene.
In order to obtain information on a wider range of doses of GW642444 (a possible new medication to treat asthma) than has been previously examined in asthmatic patients, this current study will be conducted at doses of 25 100 and 400 mcg of GW642444 and will be compared with salmeterol (50 mcg twice daily). This study will be conducted in a similar manner to a study that has already been completed (study number B2C101762) which examined repeat doses of 50, 100 and 200 mcg of GW642444. The data obtained will compliment the data from study B2C101762 and will provide confidence (or not) that the desired bronchodilation can be achieved and maintained without undesirable side effects.
