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.
The purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness and applicability of different interventions designed for enhancing overall wellbeing. Lifestyle changes, as well as psychological and physiological health variables are assessed. The interventions are based on the principles of cognitive behavioural therapy, and delivered either face-to-face, via mobile phone application, or Internet.
The objective of the study is to evaluate efficacy and safety of two different doses of NEFECON in the treatment of patients with primary IgA nephropathy (IgAN) at risk of developing end-stage renal disease, under rigorous blood pressure control with an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) and/or angiotensin II receptor I blocker (ARB).
The proposed mechanistic formula feeding study sets out to identify the mechanism(s) by which an extensively hydrolyzed casein formula is able to protect children at risk for type 1 diabetes (T1D) from beta-cell autoimmunity.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of the combination of pomalidomide, bortezomib and low dose dexamethasone to the combination of bortezomib and low dose dexamethasone in participants with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. This study will also assess how safe the combination of pomalidomide, bortezomib and low dose dexamethasone is compared to the combination of bortezomib and low dose dexamethasone.
The purpose of this 2-year study is to assess the sustained clinical efficacy and safety of 300 IR/day of a sublingual solution of birch pollen allergen extract starting 4 months prior to the birch pollen season and continuing over the birch pollen season compared with placebo for reduction of rhinoconjunctivitis-related symptoms and anti-allergy medication usage.
This single-center randomized trial evaluates the efficacy and safety of a new bone screw (antibiotic releasing bioabsorbable screw) in fixation of syndesmosis in patients with Weber C-type ankle fractures. The comparison is made to subjects treated by conventional metal screw fixation of the syndesmosis. The primary objective is to show that the antibiotic releasing bioabsorbable screw is at least as good as the routinely used metal screw in prevention of syndesmosis widening in patients with Weber C-type ankle fractures. The secondary objective is to show that the clinical outcome of the ankle fracture treatment is equal between patients treated by the antibiotic releasing bioabsorbable screw and the conventional metal screw.
The purpose of this study is to analyse the effect of a probiotic supplement on functional intestinal symptoms among subjects diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
Patients with newly diagnosed CML have excellent outcomes with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI). However, a few patients will be cured with TKIs alone, and thus need continued life-long treatment. Some patients achieve complete molecular remission (CMR), and this rate is higher with second generation TKIs compared with imatinib. Some experience with drug discontinuation in CMR has been derived from a few small studies, most notably the French STIM study. Approximately 40 % of patients with a minimum of two years in MR4.5 (4.5 log reduction in molecular response) can stop imatinib without relapse, indicating possible cure. To increase the non-relapse rate is of major importance. To achieve a permanent "cure" without stem cell transplantation is presently the most relevant goal of clinical studies in CML. The investigators hypothesize that to significantly increase cure rates in CML, therapy should eradicate leukemic stem cells and/or induce or restore anti-CML immunity. Second generation TKIs may have a more profound effect on the stem cell pool as compared to imatinib. This is assessed in our current randomized study with a reduction in leukemic stem cell burden as the primary endpoint (NordCML006). Interferon-alpha (IFN) has a prominent immunomodulatory and antiproliferative mode of action, and has also activity in stem cells. Pegylated IFN in combination with imatinib results in improved therapy responses as compared to imatinib monotherapy. This advantage may translate into higher cure rates. Dasatinib has a unique dual mechanism of action: it is the most potent of available TKIs and induces immunological effects that are different from those of IFN. Both of these drugs may have immunological adverse-effects when used as a monotherapy. However, immunological adverse-effects may also be markers of anti-leukemia efficacy. A combination of dasatinib and pegylated IFN (PegIFN) may have additive or synergistic effects and should be tested in a clinical study.
The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of once daily orally administered GRT6005 in a total of 3 fixed doses compared to placebo in subjects with moderate to severe chronic Low Back Pain (LBP). The study includes a maximum of 21 days screening period followed by a 2-week titration period and 12-week maintenance double-blind treatment period and a 10-14 day safety follow up period. Patients who are eligible for the double-blind treatment period will be randomized to one of the following treatment groups: GRT6005 low-dose, GRT6005 medium dose, GRT6005 high-dose, Tapentadol or placebo.
The study is a randomized, controlled, double blinded study evaluating the effect of recommended (400 IU) and 1 200 IU daily vitamin D substitution, given from 2 weeks to 2 years of age, on growth, bone development, neurologic and cognitive development, frequence of infectious diseases, allergic symptoms, and development of immunoregulation assessed at 2 years of age.
