There are about 3961 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Finland. 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 an observational study in which only data are collected from people who have already been prescribed aflibercept 8 mg by their own doctors. In this study, data from adults with visual impairment due to neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) or diabetic macula edema (DME) will be collected and studied. Visual impairment is any degree of vision loss that affects a person's ability to perform daily activities. nAMD is an eye disorder that causes vision loss due to the growth of abnormal blood vessels that leak blood or retinal fluid into the macula (the central part of the retina). nAMD is a leading cause of vision loss for people aged 50 and older. DME is a diabetes-related eye disorder. In DME, the macula swells up due to fluid leakage from damaged blood vessels, resulting in vision problems. Aflibercept 8 mg is a drug that is injected into the eye. It works by blocking a protein called vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) which causes abnormal growth and leakage of blood vessels at the back of the eye. Aflibercept 8 mg has been submitted for approval for the treatment of visual impairment due to nAMD and DME based on the results from 2 studies called PHOTON and PULSAR. This study will begin once approval is obtained. Currently, no real-world data are available for aflibercept 8 mg. The main purpose of this study is to collect more information about how well aflibercept 8 mg injection works in people with nAMD and DME. This study will include participants who have not received any prior treatment for nAMD or DME and participants who have. The main information that researchers will collect: the change in vision test scores called the best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) after 12 months of treatment. Data will be collected from February 2024 to September 2027 and will cover a period of up to 24 months per participant. The data will be collected using medical records and by interviewing the patients during regular visits that take place in routine practice. Researchers will observe participants from the first injection of aflibercept 8 mg until the end of the observation. In this study, only available data from regular visits will be collected. No visits or tests are required as part of this study.
The aim of this study is to test the hypothesis that sotagliflozin (SGLT1/2 inhibitor) and ambrisentan (ERA) combination therapy augments nephroprotection and mitigates fluid retention and ketogenesis in people with T1D through complementary and synergistic mechanisms of actions.
Insufficient physical activity in children and adults is linked to increased risk of physical and mental health conditions. Parents have an important influence on their children's activity, and preliminary aimed at promoting physical activity suggest the family unit as a potentially efficacious means of delivery. However, there is relatively little research examining the efficacy of family interventions aimed at promoting both parents' and children's physical activity. In addition, many family-based interventions are not guided by behavioral theory known to enhance intervention efficacy and reduce variability, and do not target low-active families. This project will therefore develop and test the efficacy of a theory-based behavioral intervention to increase physical activity engagement in low-active children and their parents. The intervention will adopt a randomized waitlist-controlled design with parents and their children allocated to an intervention group that receives theory-based content targeting changes in key behavioral determinants or to a waitlist control group that receives measurement only. The intervention will be delivered to parent-child dyads in a series of four online meetings with a trained facilitator, accompanied by web-based supporting materials, and a moderated social support online chat group. The primary dependent variable will be parents' and children's leisure time physical activity, and secondary outcomes will be device measured physical activity (intervention group only) and measures of key theory-based determinants of physical activity, including autonomous motivation, attitudes, subjective norms, self-efficacy, intentions, and perceived autonomy support. These outcomes will be measured at baseline and at 3, 6, and 12 months post-baseline. Parents and children allocated to the intervention group are expected to exhibit higher levels of physical activity and behavioral determinants. Intervention effects on physical activity change are expected to be mediated by the theory-based determinants, consistent with psychological theory. The project will contribute to research by testing the efficacy of a unique intervention based on behavioral theory expected to be effective in promoting physical activity in low-active parents and their children, and providing guidelines and materials that practitioners in health promotion and public health can use in campaigns and national strategies to promote physical activity in this population.
This study is open to adults who are at least 18 years old and have a body mass index of 27 kg/m² or more. People can take part if they have type 2 diabetes and if they are currently being treated only with diet and exercise or with specific diabetes medications. Only people who have previously not managed to lose weight by changing their diet can participate. The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called survodutide (BI 456906) helps people living with overweight or obesity who also have diabetes to lose weight. Participants are divided into 3 groups by chance, like drawing names from a hat. 2 groups get different doses of survodutide and 1 group gets placebo. Placebo looks like survodutide but does not contain any medicine. Every participant has a 2 in 3 chance of getting survodutide. Participants inject survodutide or placebo under their skin once a week for about one and a half years. In addition to the study medicine, all participants receive counselling to make changes to their diet and to exercise regularly. Participants are in the study for about 1 year and 7 months. During this time, it is planned that participants visit the study site up to 14 times and receive 6 phone calls by the site staff. The doctors check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects. The study staff also regularly measure participants' body weight. The results are compared between the groups to see whether the treatment works.
This study is open to adults who are at least 18 years old and have - a body mass index (BMI) of 30 kg/m² or more, or - a BMI of 27 kg/m² or more and at least one health problem related to their weight.

This is a Phase III, randomized, open-label multicenter study that will evaluate the efficacy and safety of giredestrant compared with fulvestrant, both in combination with the investigator's choice of a CDK4/6 inhibitor (palbociclib, ribociclib or abemaciclib), in participants with estrogen receptor-positive (ER+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-) advanced breast cancer who have developed resistance to adjuvant endocrine therapy.
The study will look at how well CagriSema helps people lower their blood sugar and body weight. CagriSema is a new weekly medicine that combines two medicines called semaglutide and cagrilintide. CagriSema will be compared to the two medicines semaglutide and cagrilintide, when they are taken alone. CagriSema will also be compared to a "dummy" medicine without any active ingredient. The study will be done in participants who have type 2 diabetes. Participants will take the study medicine together with the current diabetes medicine (metformin with or without an SGLT2 inhibitor).
The objective of this prospective observational single center study is to investigate donor-derived cell-free DNA (ddcfDNA), peripheral blood platelet mRNA, peripheral blood extracellular vesicle mRNA, and peripheral blood leukocyte mRNA expression in recognition of clinically significant endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) proven acute rejection in human heart transplant recipients. In detail, the objective is to develop novel biomarkers and liquid biopsies for diagnosis, prognosis, and targeted molecular therapy for primary graft failure, ischemia-reperfusion injury, acute rejection, and development of late graft failure and cardiac allograft vasculopathy, and for monitoring immunosuppression after heart transplantation.
The goal of this study is to learn more about the study candidate drug, KAND145, when given to healthy volunteers. The study will consist of two parts. In Part 1, the goal is to find out if the study drug KAND145 is safe and tolerable after a single dose. First, a small group of participants will receive a liquid for swallowing containing a low dose of the study drug or a liquid for swallowing that does not contain any drug. If this is safe and tolerable, higher doses will be given to subsequent groups of participants. Additionally, the effect of food on the metabolism of the study drug will be studied. In Part 2, the goal is to find out how the body absorbs, distributes, and gets rid of the study drug when it is taken twice a day for 8 days. As in Part 1, first a liquid for swallowing containing a low dose of the study drug or a liquid for swallowing that does not contain any study drug will be given to a first group of participants; additional doses will then be given to subsequent groups of participants. Additionally, it will be studied if the study drug KAND145 affects the pharmacokinetics of the medicine midazolam.
