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 evaluate the efficacy and safety of NIS793 in combination with gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel versus gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel and placebo in first-line metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (mPDAC). This study aims to explore whether blockade of Transforming Growth Factor β (TGFβ) in combination with gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel can reduce fibrosis in PDAC, restore chemo-sensitivity and ultimately lead to improvements in overall survival (OS) and other clinically relevant outcomes.
This is a phase III study of efficacy and safety of secukinumab versus placebo, in combination with glucocorticoid taper regimen, in patients with giant cell arteritis (GCA)
The objective of the study is to gain a better understanding of disease progression over time in participants with X-linked retinitis pigmentosa (XLRP).
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of Bortezomib, Lenalidomide and Dexamethasone (VRd) induction followed by a single administration of ciltacabtagene autoleucel (cilta-cel) versus VRd induction followed by Lenalidomide and Dexamethasone (Rd) maintenance in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma participants for whom ASCT is not planned as initial therapy in terms of Progression Free Survival (PFS).
In Western countries, every sixth person in their lifetime and 15,000 people in Finland have a new stroke each year. About every fourth stroke is based on cardiac embolism. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia that increases the risk of thromboembolic complications, such as stroke. It may cause formation of thrombi in the left atrium with ensuing embolization in the cerebral and peripheral circulation. AF is often asymptomatic and paroxysmal. Thus, the diagnosis of AF is often challenging. A new onset AF is usually treated with cardioversion (CV), in which the abnormal rhythm is converted back to sinus rhythm (SR). However, a long-lasting AF (>48 hours) is associated with risk of stroke. Therefore, the duration of AF needs to be known before a CV can be performed. This study evaluates the ability of novel customer-targeted heart measuring devices to detect rhythm change and short AF episodes. Moreover, novel biomarkers will be analyzed from the blood samples of AF patients and their suitability to estimate the duration of AF will be evaluated. The research will be accomplished in cooperation with the Kuopio University Hospital Emergency Department, the Heart Center, the Department of Applied Physics of the University of Eastern Finland and Heart2Save Ltd. The results of the research project will be published in the scientific journals of medicine and medical technology and will be presented at scientific conferences of the respective fields. The research results of the project can be utilized by all companies in the medical technology industry, in particular companies that produce ECG measuring instruments and companies that produce rhythm recognition software.
This study aims to investigate the effect of transversus thoracis muscle plane block (TTP), using repeated boluses of ropivacaine via catheter, on postoperative pain and oxycodone consumption after elective cardiac surgery with sternotomy.
This is an observational study of participants in three general population health surveys (FinSote 2018, 2019, 2020) who are followed up until the incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection or end of follow-up. The primary objective is to examine the association between tobacco use and the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection in a general population sample in Finland.
This study will assess the efficacy and safety of Niraparib in participants with either tumor mutation in the BRCA gene (tBRCAmut) HER2- breast cancer (Independent of hormone receptor [HR] status, including HR positive [+] and TNBC) or tumor BRCA wild type (tBRCAwt) TNBC with molecular disease based on the presence of circulating tumor Deoxyribonucleic acid (ctDNA) following surgery or completion of adjuvant therapy.
The aim of the study are to assess the persistence of immunity against vaccine serotypes (VSTs) and vaccine-related serotypes in PCV10 vaccinated children in Finland.
The study will enroll up to 27,200 participants in order to demonstrate the efficacy of the active Ad26.RSV.preF-based study vaccine in the prevention of Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) confirmed Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV)-mediated Lower Respiratory Tract Disease (LRTD) when compared to placebo in adults aged 60 years and above.
