There are about 8464 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 primary aim of the present study is to evaluate how automatically calculated (by an AI-based method) tumour burden, measured as tumour volume (TV) and as tumour uptake (TU: TV x SUVmean) in the prostate/prostate bed, pelvic lymph nodes, distant lymph nodes, bone and as the total tumour burden predicts overall survival (OS) in patients with prostate cancer (newly diagnosed and patients with biochemical recurrence).
This study is the academic study and continuation and further development of a prior project under the leadership of Professor LeBlanc. Patients undergoing allogenic stem cell transplantation are followed up in the outpatient clinic. Here, patients are offered participation the fatigue study measuring both fatigue and cognitive impairment systematically by international standard. Previous study by Boberg et al suggested distinct mRNA and proteomic profiles segregating fatigued from non-fatigued patients as well as patients with or without cognitive impairment. A larger well-defined patient cohort is necessary to confirm these results. Investigators aim to identify specific sets of proteins in the CSF that can serve as potential biomarkers of cognitive dysfunction and/or fatigue. This will be performed with two methods: - by using mass spectrometry-based proteomics approaches - Olink technology PET examinations will be performed on both fatigued and non-fatigued. We will utilize the second generation TSPO radioligand [ 11C]PBR28 as well as the SV2A radioligand [ 11C]UCB-J, both showing high signal-to-noise ratio and adequate test-retest properties.
The purpose of this first-in-human trial is to investigate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of APC148 after intravenous (IV) infusion of single ascending doses in healthy adults.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness and safety of golcadomide in combination with rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP) chemotherapy vs placebo in combination with R-CHOP chemotherapy in participants with previously untreated high-risk large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL).
Early diagnosis of cancer is key for improving patient outcomes, but cancers are difficult to diagnose if patients present with unspecific symptoms. The principal objective of the MEDECA (Markers in Early Detection of Cancer) study is to identify a multi-analyte blood test that can detect and map occult cancer within a mixed population of patients presenting with serious but unspecific symptoms. The study will include 1500 patients referred to the Diagnostic Center at Danderyd Hospital (DC DS), a multidisciplinary diagnostic center referral pathway for patients with radiological findings suggestive of metastasis without known primary tumor or suspicion of serious but unspecific symptoms. Blood samples are collected prior to a standardized and extensive cancer diagnostic work-up, including an expanded panel of biochemical analyses and extensive imaging such as computed tomography or magnetic resonance investigations. In collaboration with world-leading international scientists, the blood samples will be analyzed for a panel of novel and established blood biomarkers predictive of an underlying cancer, including markers of neutrophil extracellular traps, circulating tumor DNA, platelet mRNA profiling, affinity-based proteomics and nuclear magnetic resonance metabolomics. The diagnostic accuracy of the blood biomarkers with respect to cancer detection during the diagnostic work-up will be analyzed through machine learning.
The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate and compare bridges to replace one or two missing teeth in the mouth. The bridges will be made of two variants of ceramic material. We will evaluate the bridges for up to five years regarding technical and biological complications.
This research project can contribute to a deeper understanding of injury patterns among professional female ice-hockey players allowed to body check. An understanding of common injury types and mechanisms aids the clinician in diagnosis and management. This information can guide preventative strategies in the areas of education, coaching, rule enforcement, rule modifications, equipment improvement, and sportsmanship. Today, ice hockey is a sport associated with many severe injuries that not only causes suffering and lower quality of life for the athlete, but also costs society a lot of money. Reducing the number and severity of sport-related injuries is therefore of importance. Knowledge of the injury epidemiology of women's hockey could also contribute to better preventive training programs and other injury preventive actions in the sport. Currently, only a minority of all sports medicine research is made on female study participants (26). This research project has the possibility to gain more knowledge about the female athlete, not only applicable for elite hockey-players, but also for female athletes in different disciplines and in youth teams. Knowledge of factors associated with injury could also contribute to better injury preventive actions and highlight subgroups in extra need of future preventive interventions.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether the addition of spinal analgesia leads to superior recovery in patients undergoing robotic-assisted laparoscopic upper urinary tract surgery under general anesthesia. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is the decrease in wellbeing as quantified by the patient-centered outcome scale "Quality of Recovery 15" (QoR-15), from baseline to the first day after surgery (POD 1), at least 8.0 points less in patients receiving spinal analgesia in addition to general anesthesia? - Does spinal analgesia result in improved recovery as quantified by QoR-15 at POD 7, the incidence of postoperative pain at rest and at mobilization, nausea and vomiting, the need for opioid analgesics, time out-of-bed, length of stay and the incidence of complications? - Does spinal analgesia increase workload in the OR, as quantified by time from arrival in the OR to start of surgery? - Does spinal analgesia result in an increased incidence of hypotension and cardiac dysfunction during surgery, as well as an increased incidence of pruritus after surgery? Participants will be randomized to receive either spinal analgesia with bupivacaine and morphine preoperatively or an intravenous infusion with lidocaine intraoperatively. QoR-15 and other markers of recovery will be registered using structured interviews preoperatively, at POD1 and POD7. In addition, patients will record pain at rest and at mobilization three times daily in a diary. In a subgroup of patients advanced hemodynamic parameters will be recorded using pulse-contour analysis before, during and after surgery. Blood samples will also be collected in these patients at fixed intervals and analyzed for amongst others inflammation and cardiac dysfunction.
The purpose of this study is to measure brain exposure of [11C]savolitinib in healthy volunteers. This study will determine brain exposure of [11C]savolitinib in up to 8 healthy volunteers under physiological conditions, ie, when the BBB is intact. The study design allows up to 3 site visits. Two PET examinations will be performed for each healthy volunteer. The first PET examination will use IV administration of [11C]savolitinib. The second PET examination using [11C]savolitinib will occur after a single oral dose of 300 mg of savolitinib. PET image analysis will include kinetic compartment modelling using arterial input function, and will generate a set of brain exposure parameters (eg, maximum %ID, maximum [11C]savolitinib concentration in brain, partition coefficients between brain and plasma).
This study is a prospective observational non-randomized clinical trial where all the participitants undergo the same procedure and every participitant's samples are compared to each other. The investigators conduct EBUS TBNA and EBUS TBMCB on all the study participants.The cryobiopsy samples are numbered to evaluate the number of biopsies needed to reach a definite diagnosis and to assess the added value of every sample taken from the same participitant. Every participitant's own samples are compared to each other and added value of EBUS TBMCB is defined as the difference in diagnostic yield between the EBUS TBNA alone and the combination of EBUS TBNA with EBUS TBMCB. Diagnostic yield is defined as the efficacy of the investigation module in reaching a definite diagnosis (percentage of cases with a definite diagnosis). Follow up four weeks after the procedure to assess the risk for postoperative complications.
