There are about 3926 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 new family intervention, called Dialogical Family Guidance (DFG) is developed to target family needs especially in families with a child with neurodevelopmental disorders. PhD study showed, that this intervention is functioning with this target group. Participants (families) experienced that they got information, guidance to ordinary life and that the DFG-therapists were listening to them and above all, helping with individual problems and questions. DFG include six meetings and professionals need to attend on a 3-day long education before using this intervention.
The goal of this clinical study is to compared two different strategies to end high flow nasal cannula treatment in acute bronchiolitis. This study compared the immediate ending of high flow treatment to weaning strategy, in which the flow rate is gradually decreased. The aim is to assess if the immediate ending shortens the hospitalization time and whether it is a safe strategy.
Urothelial cancers of the bladder and upper urinary tract account for over 200,000 deaths and 600,000 diagnoses annually worldwide. The most common presenting symptom is hematuria (blood in urine), triggering a cascade of tests, including an invasive examination of the bladder using a flexible scope (cystoscopy). Millions of cystoscopies are performed every year worldwide for patients presenting with hematuria, but only 10% result in a cancer diagnosis. The UROSCOUT-1 trial is a prospective multicenter observational study that explores the potential of urine tumor DNA (utDNA) testing to replace a significant portion of cystoscopies in the diagnostic setting for hematuria or other reasons to rule out urothelial cancer. The goal is to enhance patient quality of life, reduce healthcare costs, and address increased workloads in urology centers. Sample collection will be conducted by mail, and the samples will be analyzed in a blinded manner, without knowledge of which patients are diagnosed with cancer. Random subsampling will be applied to cancer-negative patients to achieve an approximate 1:1 ratio between cancer-positive and -negative patients.
This is a Phase III, international, multi-centre, randomised, double-blind, parallel-group, double-dummy, active-controlled, event-driven study in patients with chronic HF and impaired kidney function who had a recent HF event. The aim is to evaluate the effect of balcinrenone/dapagliflozin vs dapagliflozin, given once daily on top of other classes of SoC, on CV death and HF events.
This research will study whether noninvasive ventilation (NIV) used to treat chronic respiratory insufficiency in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) can be initiated as successfully in the outpatient setting as in the conventional inpatient setting, and what the costs of these alternative initiation methods are.
The aim of the study is to identify adolescent patients that are at risk of developing oral diseases, and to assess if targeted preventive oral treatment with antibacterial dual-light therapy as an adjunctive treatment method can have a positive impact in preventing oral diseases from emerging.
This study will investigate how the acute intake of foods with high and low hedonic reward differentially affects brown adipose tissue and the interplay between gut peptides, brown fat, and the brain (gut-BAT-brain axis).
This study is conducted to support a 2-dose series (1+1 vaccination schedule) for immunization of individuals from 6 months of age. The study is designed to evaluate the non-inferiority of the immunological response of MenACYW conjugate vaccine to Nimenrix® after the completion of the 2-dose series (1+1 vaccination schedule), with the first dose (priming dose) being given at 6-7 months of age to MenACWY- naïve healthy infants and the second dose (booster dose) given at 12-13 months of age. This study will also describe additional immunogenicity parameters and safety of MenACYW conjugate vaccine and Nimenrix® in the same population of participants.
The project aims to fill in the existing gaps in the study of the microbiome as a cardiometabolic driver 1) by determining the key demographic, environmental, genetic, dietary, and metabolic correlates of long-term within-individual microbiome and microbial metabolite changes; and 2) by assessing how the gut microbiome, microbial metabolites, and their long-term changes are prospectively related to the risk factors, surrogate markers, and overt outcomes of CMD. To achieve this goal, repeat stool samples will be collected of ~2300 Finnish individuals who gave stool samples in the year 2002. In addition, ~300 individuals will undergo a in-depth health examination in 2024.
This study will evaluate the effect of triple ICS/LAMA/LABA therapy with BGF MDI 320/14.4/9.6 μg on cardiopulmonary outcomes relative to LAMA/LABA therapy with GFF MDI 14.4/9.6 μg in a population with COPD and elevated cardiopulmonary risk.
