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 purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety & patient-reported outcomes of peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) with 177Lu-Edotreotide as 1st or 2nd line of treatment compared to best standard of care in patients with well-differentiated aggressive grade 2 and grade 3, somatostatin receptor-positive (SSTR+), neuroendocrine tumours of gastroenteric or pancreatic origin.
Evira is a digital support system newly developed for treatment of childhood obesity. Through daily weighings at home using a special scale together with a message function in the Evira application, enabling fast and easy communication with the clinic, parents and the clinicians can easily follow the child's weight development. The purpose of this randomized controlled study is to evaluate the effect of adding Evira to the already locally used life-style treatment of childhood obesity.
To investigate the effect of nitrate supplementation on red blood cell function in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Stroke is a leading cause of disability and with a heavy burden for the society. Despite the demands from 'Socialstyrelsen' of improving post-acute care, an effective structured follow-up to promote a patient-tailored rehabilitation remains largely lacking in the current stroke care. The overall aim of this study is to find a cost-effective solution to facilitate patient-tailored rehabilitation that improves daily and social activities and health-related quality of life for persons discharged from the acute care after stroke. We have recently developed a novel digital graphic tool, Rehabkompassen®, which based on patient-reported outcome measurements captures the patient's complex health status after stroke. Here, this tool will be used in a parallel, open-label, 2-arm prospective and multicenter pragmatic randomized controlled trial between 2022-2026. All participants (n = 1106) will be randomized according to permuted block design; and receive a usual care without (control group, n = 553) or with (intervention group, n = 553) Rehabkompassen®, within 3-month after stroke. The effectiveness of the tool on daily and social activities, quality of life and its health-economic effects will be compared at 12-month follow-up post stroke. We hypothesize that the digital tool Rehabkompassen® will provide a patient-tailored rehabilitation that improves recovery, independence, and quality of life among people with stroke in a cost-effective way.
The main objective of this study is establish the performance of miR371 in management of testicular cancer
The County Council of Region Skåne, Sweden, has recently initiated Targeted Health Dialogues in primary care. The prevention program includes health dialogues provided by specially trained personnel, collection of clinical and laboratory data as well as questionnaire data on, e.g., individual health and health behaviors. So far, it enrolls all 40-year old Swedish and foreign-born inhabitants in the county and it will also include all 50- and 60-year old persons within a near future. A research project will be integrated within the program where the collected data will be linked, on the individual level, to national and regional data on hospital admissions, clinical diagnoses from specialist clinics and primary care, causes of death, and prescriptions. The individual linkages will also include population data on sociodemographic characteristics, neighborhood of residence and family relations. Blood samples will be collected for analyses of molecular biomarkers. The research project will examine associations between potential predictors and future risk of cardiovascular diseases and other serious diseases, such as cancer, and also whether the effect of the prevention program is modified by these potential predictors. The effect of the intervention will be examined, and whether the protocol needs to be modified in order to develop more precise and personalized medicine.
The purpose of this study is to assess how the needle size 7G vs 10G affects performance indicators and patient experience in vacuum-assisted excision (VAE) of probably benign breast lesions
The study aims to evaluate whether organised, concomitant HPV vaccination and HPV screening offered to all resident women aged 22-27 will result in a more rapid elimination of HPV infection in Sweden. This objective will be examined at the population level.
Colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancers globally. A majority are operated on for the purpose of cure. Complications after surgery are common, involve long length of stay and increase the risk of later recurrence of cancer. Optimization of physical and mental function before surgery can reduce the risk of complications and provide a faster recovery. However, a standardized form for how optimization should be performed does not exist. At Danderyd Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden, we are starting up an optimization center where patients are offered optimizing measures while waiting for surgery. This form of structured treatment has not been studied before and we therefore want to investigate outcomes in a randomized study. All patients with colorectal cancer who are being examined for surgery are offered participation in the study. Randomization of 518 patients in to either an intervention group where the patients; are optimized for concomitant diseases, treated for malnutrition and overconsumption of alcohol and tobacco, undergoes an exercise program and receives psychosocial support before surgery, or a control group where patients are prepared for surgery according to current routines. Primary outcome is the difference in severe complications between the groups. Secondary outcome is difference in length of stay as well as fitness and mental well-being before and 30 days after the operation.If optimization before surgery reduces complications and shortens length of stay, the model can also be used by other operating specialties. This may result in a great improvement for the healthcare in general.
