There are about 3950 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.
To provide detailed information on long-term outcomes in relation to potential neuroprotection and improvements in recovery for different targets of sedation, temperature, and pressure management in post out of hospital cardiac arrest survivors at 6 and 12 months. In addition, the impact of caring for a post OHCA survivor will be explored.
The VASCULAID-RETRO study, within the broader VASCULAID project, aims to create artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms that can predict cardiovascular events and the progression of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and peripheral arterial disease (PAD). The study plans to gather and analyze data from at least 5000 AAA and 6000 PAD patients, combining existing cohorts and retrospectively collected data. During this project, AI tools will be developed to perform automatic anatomical segmentation and analyses on multimodal imaging. AI prediction algorithms will be developed based on multisource data (imaging, medical history, -omics).
This is a multicenter, single arm, open-label, Phase 2 study in high risk smoldering myeloma patients. The primary objective is to determine the efficacy of Elranatamab in patients with previously untreated high-risk SMM. The key-secondary objective is to determine the safety of Elranatamab in patients with previously untreated high-risk SMM.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of V116 compared to PPSV23 in children 2 through 17 years of age. Researchers want to learn if V116 is as good as, or is better than the PPSV23 vaccine in terms of the antibody immune response. V116 and PPSV23 will be studied in children and teenagers who have a higher risk of getting invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD).
Today, osteoarthritis (OA) is considered a whole-organ disease that is amenable to prevention and treatment in the early stages. Information on the articular cartilage and subchondral bone responses to exercise may help to develop safe and feasible exercise programs which can potentially improve cartilage and bone properties. Therefore, the goal of this study is to produce the knowledge needed to understand what effects multicomponent exercise regimen have on subchondral bone and articular cartilage of the knee joint in postmenopausal women with knee OA. Participants will be randomized into either: 1. Intervention group, which conducts multicomponent exercise regimen including alternating step-aerobic and resistance training. 2. Reference group, which represents the standard rehabilitative management for knee OA patients with home exercises. Researchers will compare intervention and reference groups to see if subchondral bone morphology and properties and cartilage biochemical alterations differ between the groups at the end of the 8-month intervention and 12-month follow-up period.
The goal of this clinical study is to study sleep and its microstructure in neuropathic pain patients who have or who do not have a clinically significant sleep disturbance, before and during (after 1-month stabile dosage) pregabalin treatment. To find out whether reduced pain by pregabalin associates with improved sleep quality; to study, using resting state fMRI, brain network connectivity and the volume of the choroid plexus before and during pregabalin treatment (after dosage stable for one month) at baseline and during stabile treatment with pregabalin, and to compare the usability and reliability of sleep-related information collected with sleep diaries, actigraphy, iButtons, and ambulatory polysomnography in peripheral painful neuropathy patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is pregabalin more efficacious in neuropathic pain patients who suffer from insomnia compared to those with no clinically meaningful sleep disturbance? - Does sleep disturbance due to pain associate with brain network connectivity and may these changes be reversed by pregabalin treatment? Participants will - Fulfill e-questionnaires and keep sleep diary before and after 1month stabile pregabalin intervention - Before and after 1-month stabile pregabalin medication: 1-week Actiwatch monitoring, iButton (1 day and night), ambulatory polysomnography (1 night), brain fMRI. Researchers will compare patients with high ISI score patients to see if they benefit more from pregabalin treatment than those with low ISI score.
The purpose of this study is to learn about the study medicine called elranatamab.This study aims to compare elranatamab to other medicines for the treatment of MM (a type of cancer). This study is seeking participants who: - Are 18 years of age or older and have MM. - Have received treatments before for MM. - Have MM that has returned or not responded to their most recent treatment. Half of the participants will receive elranatamab. The other half of participants will receive a combination therapy selected by the study doctor. The selected combination therapy will include 2 to 3 different medicines commonly used to treat MM. Elranatamab will be given as a shot under the skin at the study clinic about once a week. This may change to a smaller number of shots later in the study. The medicines in the combination therapy will be taken by mouth (at home or at the study clinic) AND will be given either as: - a shot under the skin at the study clinic - through a needle in the vein at the study clinic The number of times these medicines will be taken depends on what combination therapy the study doctor selects. Participants may continue to receive elranatamab or a combination therapy until their MM is no longer responding. The study team will see how each participant is doing with the study treatment during regular visits at the study clinic. The study team will continue to follow-up with participants after study treatment with telephone contacts (or visits). The study will compare the experiences of people receiving elranatamab to those people receiving a combination therapy. This will help learn about the safety and how effective elranatamab is.
A research-initiated prospective cohort study with the aim to assess the effectivity, safety and long-term outcomes after surgical and endovascular treatment of unruptured intracranial aneurysms. All consecutive patients with a non-ruptured intracranial aneurysms treated at Helsinki University Hospital will be included. Safety is measured by postoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) taken 1-3 days after the treatment, treatment-related complications and functional outcome at three months. Effectiveness is measured by angiographic results and assessment of long-term bleeding from the treated aneurysm. Other outcomes include risk of developing epilepsy, getting a new stroke, and dementia on long-term follow-up.
The purpose of this study is to examine the applicability of contrast enhanced voiding ultrasonography in diagnosing vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) in pediatric patients compared to direct isotope cystography. The aim of the study is to find a modality allowing the accurate diagnosis of VUR and the classification of the degree of VUR with the least possible harm from the examinations. The investigators recruit 100 under 6 years old patients who have had at least 2 culture positive urinary tract infections. Exluding criteria are abnormal bladder function and posterior uretral valves. The investigators perform direct isotope cystography and contrast enhanced voiding urosonography during the same day to diagnose and grade VUR. The investigators use standardized volume and speed of bladder filling. The examinations are done by a radiologist and an isotope specialist and they are blinded to the result of the other examination.
This is a phase 3, randomized, open-label study of opevesostat compared to alternative abiraterone acetate or enzalutamide in participants with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) with respect to overall survival (OS) and to radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) per Prostate Cancer Working Group (PCWG) Modified Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1) as assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR) in participants with mCRPC previously treated with next-generation hormonal agent (NHA) and taxane-based chemotherapy. It is hypothesized that opevesostat is superior with respect to OS and rPFS per PCWG Modified RECIST 1.1 as assessed by BICR in androgen receptor ligand binding domain (AR LBD) mutation-negative and -positive participants.
