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 complement Study CBYL719C2301 (SOLAR-1) and obtain more comprehensive data on the efficacy and safety of alpelisib (BYL719) in combination with fulvestrant compared with placebo plus fulvestrant in men or postmenopausal women with HR-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer with a PIK3CA mutation who progressed or relapsed on or after treatment with an AI plus a CDK4/6 inhibitor.
The aim of this study is to examine the fidelity, the perceived benefits, and the effectiveness of the Let's Talk about Children (LTC) -intervention in a school context. The Let's Talk about Children method is a standardised, family-focused intervention aimed to build a shared understanding between parents, children, and teachers to find ways of working together to support the child's everyday life, well-being, learning, and development, both at home and at school. The Let's Talk about Children intervention is used in several different schools in Finland. The study examines the effects of the Let's Talk about Children method on the teacher-student relationship, the trust between teachers and parents and the students', teachers' and parents' well-being. Participants (N=1316 school-children, N=188 school-teachers and N=1316 parents) are recruited and divided into intervention and control groups. The intervention group consists of teachers who use the Let's Talk about Children method in their work and those students and parents who participate in the Let's Talk about Children discussions. The control group includes teachers who do not use the method in their work and students and parents who do not participate in the discussions. The fidelity and perceived benefits of the method are examined in the intervention group. Otherwise, there is two data collection points. The data is collected in intervention and control groups before the intervention and 6 months after the intervention.

This study is being conducted to see if semaglutide tablets can be used as a treatment to help people living with overweight or obesity lose weight. This study will look at the change in participants body weight. Participants will either get semaglutide tablets (new medicine) or placebo tablets ('dummy' medicine that looks like semaglutide but has no effect on the body). For a fair comparison, people are divided into two groups at random by a computer. This process is called randomisation. Semaglutide tablets are new medicine being tested to treat overweight and obesity. Doctors in many countries can already prescribe semaglutide tablets at lower doses to treat type 2 diabetes. Participants will get semaglutide or placebo tablets for 68 weeks and will need to take 1 tablet every morning In addition to taking the medicine, participants will have talks with study staff about: - healthy food choices - how to be more physically active - what participants can do to lose weight The study will last for about 1½ year.Participants will have 14 clinic visits and 7 phone calls with the study doctor. Blood samples will be taken at 10 visits. Participants will have a test to check their heart done at 3 visits. Women cannot take part if pregnant, breast-feeding or plan to get pregnant during the study period. If participant is a woman and is able to become pregnant, participant will be checked for pregnancy via urine tests.
Cough is the most common reason why people seek medical attention in developed countries. The main mechanisms for prolonged cough are hypersensitivity of the cough reflex arc, sputum production, and constriction of the airway smooth muscles. Recognition of the mechanism in each cough patient is essential for the efficient management of prolonged cough. At present, there are no feasible tests for everyday clinical work to recognize cough reflex arc hypersensitivity. Mannitol test was originally developed for asthma diagnostics. We have recently shown that it can also be used to investigate hypersensitive cough reflex arc. The purpose of the present study is to create reference ranges for normal cough responsiveness to inhaled mannitol. Without them, the test cannot be utilized in everyday clinical work. For that purpose we will perform mannitol test in 140 subjects, who are at least 18 years old and without any chronic respiratory symptoms or disorders. The subjects will be recruited in three centers: University of Eastern Finland and: John Hunter Hospital in Australia.The material will be collected 1.9.2021-31.12.2023. We apply funding for both personnel and material expences, to carry out this study.
This study is for women in menopause who have moderate to severe hot flashes. It is for women who are unable to use hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Menopause, a normal part of life, is the time after a woman's last period. Hot flashes often occur during menopause. They can disrupt a woman's daily life. The study medicines (also called investigational products, or IP) are tablets of fezolinetant or placebo. An investigational product means that the product is not yet licensed. In this study, a placebo is a dummy treatment that looks like fezolinetant but does not have any medicine in it. The study will compare fezolinetant with the placebo to learn if fezolinetant reduces the number and severity of hot flashes. Women that want to take part in the study will be given an electronic handheld device with an app to track their hot flashes. Some women may be able to use the app on their own smartphone. In the last 10 days before their next clinic visit, the women will record information about their hot flashes. They can take part in the study if they have an average of 7 or more moderate to severe hot flashes each day. Women will be picked for 1 of 2 treatments (fezolinetant or placebo) by chance alone. Women who take part in the study will take 2 tablets every day for 24 weeks. Treatment will be double-blinded. That means that the women in the study and the study doctors will not know who takes which of the study medicines (fezolinetant or placebo). The women will continue recording information about their hot flashes on the electronic device or their phone. They will also use another device to answer questions about how hot flashes affect their daily life. During the study, the women will visit their study clinic several times for a check-up. This will happen during Weeks 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, and 27. Some women may be able to have home visits instead, from Week 2 to Week 20. At the check-up, they will be asked if they have any medical problems. Other checks will include vital signs (heart rate, temperature and blood pressure) and some blood samples taken for laboratory tests. At some check-ups, the women will have a physical exam. In Week 2 and Week 24, the women will have an ECG to check their heart rhythm. Women who have a uterus will also have a test called a transvaginal ultrasound. A probe is gently placed inside the vagina. Sound waves will create a picture of the organs in the pelvis. This will allow the study doctor to look more closely at the uterus and surrounding organs. The last check-up (at Week 27) will be 3 weeks after they take their last tablets of study medicine (fezolinetant or placebo).
Researchers are looking for a better way to treat women who have hot flashes after they have been through the menopause. Hot flashes are caused by the hormonal changes that happen when a woman's body has been through the menopause. Menopause is when women stop having a menstrual cycle, also called a period. During the menopause, the ovaries increasingly produce less sex hormones as a result of the natural ageing process and related hormonal adjustments. The decline in hormone production can lead to various symptoms which, in some cases, can have a very adverse effect on a menopausal woman's quality of life. The study treatment, elinzanetant, was developed to treat symptoms caused by hormonal changes. It works by blocking a protein called neurokinin from sending signals to other parts of the body, which is thought to play a role in starting hot flashes. There are treatments for hot flashes in women who have been through the menopause, but may cause medical problems for some people. In this study, the researchers will learn how well elinzanetant works compared to a placebo in women who have been through the menopause and have hot flashes. A placebo is a treatment that looks like a medicine but does not have any medicine in it. To compare these study treatments, the participants will record information about their hot flashes in an electronic diary. The researchers will study the number of hot flashes the participants have and how severe they are. They will study the results from before treatment and after 12 weeks of treatment. The participants in this study will take two capsules of either elinzanetant or the placebo once a day. The participants will take the study treatments for 52 weeks. During the study, the participants will visit their study site approximately 11 times and perform 2 visits by phone. Each participant will be in the study for approximately 62 weeks. During the study, the participants will: - record information about their hot flashes in an electronic diary - answer questions about their symptoms The doctors will: - check the participants' health - take blood samples - ask the participants questions about what medicines they are taking and if they are having adverse events An adverse event is any medical problem that a participant has during a study. Doctors keep track of all adverse events that happen in studies, even if they do not think the adverse events might be related to the study treatments.
Study CKJX839B12302 is a pivotal Phase III trial to evaluate the benefits of inclisiran on major adverse cardiovascular (MACE) events in participants with established cardiovascular disease (CVD).
Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is one of the main causes of disability and loss of quality adjusted life years. This study is to analyze whether endovascular therapy (EVT) in addition to best medical treatment (BMT) reduces the degree of disability and dependency in daily activities after a Medium Vessel Occlusion (MeVO) stroke compared to BMT alone.
Men with localized, intermediate risk prostate cancer will be randomized to undergo either radical prostatectomy or the TULSA procedure, with a follow-up of 10 years in this multi-centered randomized control trial. This study will determine whether the TULSA procedure is as effective and more safe compared to radical prostatectomy.
