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.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as methotrexate, cyclophosphamide, and liposomal doxorubicin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving chemotherapy after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery. It is not yet known whether giving liposomal doxorubicin after surgery is more effective than observation or cyclophosphamide and methotrexate in treating breast cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying liposomal doxorubicin to see how well it works compared with observation or cyclophosphamide and methotrexate in treating older women who have undergone surgery for breast cancer.
This is an exploratory study to evaluate the impact of eliminating steroid administration upon viral HCV load at 12 months measured by quantitative serum HCV-RNA determination in patients transplanted for HCV cirrhosis.
To compare the efficacy and safety of two regimens containing tacrolimus and minimal steroids together with either monoclonal anti-IL2R antibodies (daclizumab) or mycophenolate mofetil.
The purpose of this study is to determine if diflunisal can prevent progressive lower leg nerve damage in patients with familial amyloidosis polyneuropathy. Funding Source - FDA OOPD; NINDS
To evaluate the efficacy of pregabalin compared to placebo in the treatment of posttraumatic peripheral neuropathic pain
The primary objective of this study is to determine the accuracy of the Reflux Disease Questionnaire (RDQ) as a diagnostic test for gastroesophageal reflux disease. Symptom evaluation by the RDQ will be compared with other established approaches to the diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in a primary care patient population with symptoms thought to be of upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract origin.
This study is to evaluate the safety of SU011248 (Sunitinib/Sutent) in combination with docetaxel in patients with metastatic or locally recurrent breast cancer who have not received chemotherapy treatment in the advanced disease setting.
This double-blind, stratified, parallel group study is to determine whether aiming for 'Total control' results in better airway hyper-responsiveness than maintaining the treatment level at which 'Well-controlled' asthma was achieved. The primary endpoint is the mean change in PC20 methacholine. Well controlled subjects (as assessed after a 12 week run-in period) will enter a 24 week treatment period during which they will record PEF(Peak Expiratory Flow), symptoms, rescue beta2-agonist use over 24 hours, night time awakenings, asthma exacerbations, emergency visits due to asthma and Adverse Events. At every visit lung function measurements and airway hyper-responsiveness will be measured.
The purpose of this trial is to determine the comparative safety and efficacy of dabigatran etexilate 150 mg bid administered orally and warfarin as needed (pro re nata - prn) to maintain an International Normalised Ratio (INR) of 2.0-3.0 for 6 month treatment of acute symptomatic venous thromboembolism (VTE), following initial treatment (5-10 days) with a parenteral anticoagulant approved for this indication. This trial aims to demonstrate non-inferiority of dabigatran compared with warfarin in patients with acute symptomatic VTE. After achieving non-inferiority, this trial also aims to establish superiority (by means of hierarchical tests) of dabigatran over warfarin.
RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, can block cancer growth in different ways. Some find cancer cells and kill them or carry cancer-killing substances to them. Others interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving rituximab together with combination chemotherapy may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving rituximab together with combination chemotherapy works in treating older patients with previously untreated B-cell lymphoma.
