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 randomized controlled trial (RCT) study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of multisensoral nature-based intervention compare to standard care in relieving anxiety, fear and pain in hospitalized child aged 5 to 9 years and parent's anxiety and satisfaction during venous blood sampling. The assessment uses different measures to assess child's anxiety, fear, pain and parent's anxiety and satisfaction during venous blood sampling.
This was a non-interventional, retrospective registry study, utilizing electronic health record (EHR) data collected in the hospital district of Helsinki and Uusimaa (HUS). Real-world health care resource utilization (HCRU) of AML patients was characterized.
The aim of this study was to compare participants with increased symptoms after index pregnancy with those reporting no change in back pain or subjective movement control and analyzed their inter rectus distance (IRD). This study is a case-control study of a cohort of women who had delivered a year earlier. We recruited participants with increased symptoms (n=14) after index pregnancy and controls (n=41) and recorded their inter rectus distance with ultrasound. A questionnaire was filled, and an ultrasound was performed two times for the study groups.
This traditional feasibility study aims to capture preliminary safety and effectiveness information on a near-final Investigational Device design to adequately plan the forthcoming pivotal study.
The LITMUS Imaging Study is a prospectively recruited, observational study of patients with histologically characterised non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). It aims to evaluate the diagnostic performance of imaging biomarkers (ultrasound elastography and magnetic resonance biomarkers) against NAFLD histological scores in a cross-sectional analysis and the natural history of NAFLD in a longitudinal study.
This is an observational study of participants in two general population health surveys (FinSote 2018 and 2020) who are followed up for their COVID-19 vaccinations or end of follow-up. The primary objective is to examine the association between tobacco use and COVID-19 vaccine uptake and between-dose spacing.
It is a randomized phase 3 study comparing two conditioning regimens in children with Acute Myeloid Leukemia, AML, undergoing allogenic stem cell transplantation. The primary aim is to investigate if a conditioning regimen containing one alkylator (Bu) combined with two antimetabolites (Clo and Flu) results in superior 2-year acute grade III to IV-free, chronic non-limited GvHD-free, relapse free survival than a conditioning regimen combining three alkylating agents (BuCyMel)
The main purpose of this clinical study is to evaluate a 6-valent OspA-based Lyme disease vaccine (VLA15) for prevention of Lyme disease within North America and Europe. Approximately 9,400 healthy participants (this number excludes participants from 8 sites which were terminated for quality issues) 5 years and older will be recruited from areas with high levels of endemic Lyme disease to receive VLA15 or placebo (an inactive substance consisting of saltwater). Each participant will have about a 50% chance of receiving VLA15 and about a 50% chance of receiving placebo. A subset of participants will receive VLA15 from 3 different lots or placebo (1:1:1:3 ratio) to assess lot equivalence. Participants will receive a 3-dose primary vaccination series at about 0, 2, and 5 to 9 months and then receive a booster dose about 12 months after end of primary vaccination series. Vaccination of participants will occur at a time of year such that the primary series is completed before the peak Lyme disease season followed by a booster dose just prior to the beginning of the second Lyme disease season. A subset of participants will be followed for a third Lyme disease season. Comparison will be made between the Lyme disease cases of people receiving the study vaccine to those of the people who are not. This will help us determine if the study vaccine is safe and effective. If enrolled, participants will need to visit the research site at least 7 times during the study, and for a subset of participants up to 9 times. There will also be at least 5 telephone contacts. It is expected that each participant will take part in this study for up to about 2 and a half years. The subset of participants followed for a third Lyme disease season will take part in this study for up to about to 3 and a half years.
Phase 1b study to assess the pharmacodynamics, safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of NIO752 in patients with early Alzheimer's disease (AD)
This study will investigate the effects of at least 12 weeks of weekly cold water immersions (water temperature 18ºC) on BAT perfusion in individuals with obesity. BAT oxygen uptake and tissue perfusion will be measured using 15O-O2 and 15O-H2O PET-CT, at room temperature and after cold exposure. In addition, BAT glucose uptake will be measured using 18F-FDG after 2 hours of cold exposure and BAT NEFA uptake will be analyzed using 18F-FTHA at room temperature. To understrand the metabolic effects of BAT activation in individuals with obesity and how the cold water immersions affect the BAT perfusion in humans is critical for the development of new strategies to treat obesity and its comorbidities.
