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 study seeks to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ABBV-8E12 in participants with early Alzheimer's disease (AD).
The present collaboration study on the treatment of distal radius fractures is aimed to: (i) to compare non-operative treatment to volar plating in the treatment of initially malaligned distal radius fractures in patients aged 65 and older in terms of functional outcome measured with PRWE (ii) to compare non-operative treatment to volar plating in the treatment of distal radius fractures with early instability during follow-up, i.e., loss of reduction at 1 week (range 5 to 10 days) in patients aged 65 and older in terms of functional outcome measured with PRWE (iii)to compare pain, disability, quality of life, grip strength, and the number of complications after non-operative treatment and the initial and delayed operative treatment of distal radius fracture (iv) to assess the effect of pain catastrophizing score (PCS) on the functional outcome of non-operatively and operatively treated distal radius fracture (v) to assess the association between physical activity and the number of wrist movements measured with Axivity accelerometer and functional outcome measured with PROMs of non-operatively and operatively treated distal radius fractures (vi) to assess the effect of initial as well as the final radiological parameters on the functional outcome (vii) to assess the correlation of probability of radiological malalignment estimated by clinical prediction rule (EWC) with functional outcome measured with PRWE and PASS
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and antidrug antibody (ADA) response for MEDI8897 in healthy preterm infants who are between 29 and 35 weeks gestational age (GA) and entering their first Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) season.
The aim of this prospective, explorative study of noninvasive neuromonitoring was to search potential and practical methods associated with neurological outcome in the perioperative and immediate postoperative setting of surgery of the thoracic aorta. These methods include abbreviated EEG monitoring, near-infrared spectroscopy, transcranial Doppler ultrasound and biochemical markers associated with neuronal damage.
Midline laparotomy is commonly used in emergency and elective cancer surgery and patients need effective and safe pain treatment after this type of surgery. Nowadays modern anticoagulant therapy may prevent use of central regional blocks in pain management. Therefore in the present study the efficacy and safety of rectus sheath analgesia is studied using different administration techniques. The primary aim is the efficacy of the rectus sheath analgesia measured with pain ratings and the amount rescue opioid used. Secondary aims were concentrations of local anesthetic, rescue opioid and satisfaction to analgesia method used.
The purpose of this prospective, multicenter, open-label, efficacy, and safety study is to assess the efficacy and safety of ocrelizumab in participants with Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS) who have had a suboptimal response to an adequate course of a Disease-Modifying Treatment (DMT). The study will consist of a Screening period (up to 4 weeks), an Open-label treatment period (96 weeks; with last dose administered at Week 72), and a Follow-up period of at least 2 years.
Background: After hypotension, oliguria (urine output less than 0.5 mL/kg/h) was the most common trigger to administer fluid bolus in a multinational practice survey in intensive care. The effect of fluid bolus on cardiovascular variables can be very short-lived among patients in shock suggesting that fluid boluses in the optimization phase are unlikely to improve patient-centered outcomes. Moreover, a growing body of evidence suggests a poor renal response to fluid bolus. Objective: To investigate, whether fluid bolus - as a standard of care - improves urine output in oliguric patients compared to a non-interventional follow-up approach without fluid bolus. Design: Investigator-initiated, open, randomized, controlled study Interventions: 1. Intervention group - follow-up without intervention 2. Control group - fluid bolus (500mL of balanced crystalloid over 30 minutes) Randomization: 1:1 stratified according to the site, presence of acute kidney injury, and sepsis Trial size: 130 patients randomized in 2 ICUs
A cold season involves higher cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Several epidemiologic studies have implicated that persons with a cardiac disease, such as coronary artery disease (CAD) may be at higher risk for these adverse health events, but the mechanisms are not well established. Because both exercise and cold exposure stimulates cardiac and circulatory functions it is important to study their interaction especially among people with CAD and whose myocardial oxygen supply and function are weakened. The study examines how recommended health-enhancing upper and lower body exercise and warm-up in combination with cold exposure affects cardiovascular functions of people with CAD. The research includes randomized controlled experiments where the participants are 35-75 year old men with CAD (CCS I-II) and recruited from the Oulu University Hospital. Each participant undergoes four different trials in random order where the temperature (+22°C or -15°C) and the form of exercise (brisk walking at 5.5 km/h or upper body exercise at 30 W), and warm-up regime is varied. The used exercise, clothing and exposure resemble an ordinary wintertime exercise event. Novel techniques are used to broadly assess cardiovascular function before, during and in the recovery phase. The obtained information is synthesized and translated to tailored year-round exercise instructions for people with CAD by the research team including experts from sports sciences, physiology, public and occupational health, clinical sciences and with complementary knowledge in physical activity, effective interventions and cardiovascular function. The study has broad national and international impact on the relatively passive aging population having CAD and residing and working in a cold climate. The produced information enables finding means to activate persons with CAD and where appropriate and safe year-round exercise may reduce or prevent adverse health effects. Health care personnel will have an improved possibility to prescribe physical activity programs for their clients and enabling better instructions of healthy and safe exercise as a way to promote health.
The purpose of this study is to assess the immunogenicity and safety of the Infanrix hexa booster dose given at 11-18 months of age to infants who received primary vaccination at 6-14 weeks. All infants in this booster study were born to pregnant women who participated in the study 116945 [DTPA (BOOSTRIX)-047] and having received the full primary vaccination series as per protocol requirement in study 201330 [DTPA (BOOSTRIX)-048.
This is a retrospective multi-center patient cohort study investigating patients with persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) and elective cardioversion (ECV). The aim is to identify clinical predictors for ineffective ECV to improve management quality of persistent AF.
