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.

The inferior mesenteric artery is the feeding vessel for tumours in the rectum. When performing surgery for these tumours, the surgeon can cut the vessel close to the aorta or after the vessel bifurcates to the superior rectal artery and the left colic artery. A close division is termed a high tie (and the other, a low tie) and might entail a better lymph node extraction, possibly removing metastasis, but can also lead to nerve damage and e.g. bowel dysfunction. There is no clear evidence favouring either tie level, and large amounts of data are needed to establish superiority as any effects is likely to be small. One such method is to use national registries with prospectively collected data on e.g. level of tie and cancer relapse. However, it is not always easy to determine the level of tie while in the operating room and registries might also contain erroneous data. In order to determine the validity of such data, comparisons to objective measures are needed. This study is an attempt to correlate radiographic imaging to the suggested tie level, as indicated by the surgeon in the operative report and by the nationwide Swedish Colorectal Cancer Registry. If the registry variable tie level has a high correlation with imagining, researchers can more reliably use the registry to establish the benefits and drawbacks with high tie in rectal cancer surgery.
The purpose of the project is to investigate if consumption of the fermented tea beverage kombucha has an effect on the gut and/or oral microbiota, and further if it depends on the content of living bacteria or is inherent even to sterilized kombucha. This will be studied by a clinical trial in which healthy individuals will be given living kombucha, sterilized kombucha or water. The participants will consume one bottle (33 cl) of their designated drink per day for 21 days. Fecal and saliva samples will be collected before, directly and ten days after the intervention. These will then be examined to see if there is a change in the micro flora due to the kombucha.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of 4 or more DNA-repair gene defects in a population of men with metastatic Prostate Cancer (PC) and to use the reported DNA-repair gene defects to assess biomarker eligibility for niraparib interventional studies.
Patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) often link their symptoms to foods. Interest in dietary management recently increased, including the use of a gluten-free diet. To investigate relation of gluten-free diet (GFD) and IBS, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled cross-over trial will be carried out in adults (>18) and patients with IBS according to Rome IV criteria. The aim is to assess gluten-free versus gluten-containing diet in IBS patients and Healthy Volunteers.
Patients with traveller's diarrhoea frequently harbour Extended Spectrum Betalactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae (EPE) returning from EPE-endemic areas. This study investigates to what extent travellers returning to Sweden with traveller's diarrhoea carry ESBL in their stool. The isolates are examined further according to species, phenotype, antibiogram and whole genome sequencing.
The EPSONIP (Evaluating Prevalence and Severity Of NAFLD In Primary care) trial is a longitudinal cohort study of patients with T2DM recruited from primary health care centers in Östergötland, Sweden. The latest MRI techniques will be used to quantify the amount of hepatic fat, inflammation, liver fibrosis and body composition. Each patient will be investigated twice with three years apart to determine patients with progressive disease.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of patisiran in participants with hereditary transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis (hATTR amyloidosis) with disease progression after liver transplant.
