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 overall objective of this research is to determine the digestive faith and health impact of protein and fiber rich foods in different food matrices in type 2 diabetes risk population. This is achieved by controlled postprandial intervention where plasma amino acids, lipids, glucose metabolism, bile acids and microbial metabolites are evaluated as well as fecal microbiota and metabolites.

Prostate cancer (PCa) is currently the most common cancer in men in Finland (www.cancerregistry.fi). Although prognosis is very good in majority of men, it is noteworthy that still up to 20% of PCa cases are metastatic at the time of initial diagnosis and yearly 900 men die because of prostate cancer. Robust primary staging is, therefore, one of the most important prognostic factors, and it is crucial for treatment decision. Despite their low sensitivity to detect metastasis, bone scintigraphy (BS) and contrast enhanced whole body computed tomography (ce-wbCT) are recommended by current guidelines for primary staging in men at risk of metastasis. MIP-1404 is a small-molecule PSMA inhibitor that can be used in SPECT systems (99mTc-MIP- 1404 SPECT/CT). 99mTc-MIP-1404 SPECT/CT is performed by a single IV bolus of 99mTc-MIP-1404, which binds with high affinity to extracellular domain of PSMA molecule. As of March 2020, a total of 629 subjects have received 99mTc-MIP-1404 injection averaging 740 ±111 MBq (20 ± 3 mCi) per administration in prospective clinical trials. 99mTc MIP-1404 has been well tolerated following a single IV dose at 740 ± 111 MBq in both healthy volunteers and patients with confirmed metastatic prostate adenocarcinoma. In prospective and retrospective studies, it has shown high potential to detect prostate cancer lesions in primary staging. In fact, Goffin et al. reported a sensitivity of 50% and specificity of 87% detecting local lymph node metastasis in radically operated patients when histopathology was used as a reference. This corresponds closely to the sensitivity of PSMA-PET. PROSTAMIP is a randomized prospective single-institutional study to demonstrate superiority of 99mTc-MIP-1404 SPECT/CT compared to traditional imaging modalities (99mTc-HMDP planar BS plus ce-wbCT).
Risperidone is widely used in the treatment of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and aggression associated with moderate or severe Alzheimer's dementia. In vitro studies have shown that constituents of tea and cola beverages can result in insoluble complex formation with risperidone, potentially reducing risperidone oral absorption. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of tea and cola beverage on the pharmacokinetics of risperidone oral solution. In an open three-phase, randomized, crossover study with 12 healthy volunteers, the subjects will receive a 1 mg dose of risperidone oral solution with either water, tea or cola beverage. Blood samples will be collected and risperidone's pharmacokinetics will be monitored up to 48 hours postdose. Primary endpoint is area under the plasma concentration-time curve of risperidone. Recruitment starting date is December 4, 2023.
Lynch syndrome (LS) is an inherited cancer predisposition syndrome caused by pathogenic germline variants in DNA mismatch repair (MMR) genes. New cancer screening and diagnostic tools are urgently needed to identify LS-related cancers early enough for curative treatment. Urothelial cancers (comprising bladder and upper tract urothelial tumors) are the third most common cancer after colorectal and endometrial cancers in individuals with LS. Up to one in four LS individuals will develop urothelial cancer during their lifetime, with the risk varying based on the defective MMR gene. In this clinical trial, we will employ urine tumor DNA (utDNA) to identify asymptomatic urothelial cancers in Lynch syndrome patients, and to investigate the potential benefits of urine tumor DNA based screening in this high-risk population.
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.
