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 is done to find out whether the medicine, semaglutide, has a positive effect on early Alzheimer's disease. Participants will either get semaglutide or placebo (a "dummy" medicine which does not contain any study medicine) - which treatment participants get is decided by an equal chance. The study will last for up to 173 weeks (about 3 years and 4 months). Participants will have 17 clinic visits and 1 phone call with the study doctor. The study includes various tests and scans. At 10 of the clinic visits participants will have blood samples taken. Participants must have a study partner, who is willing to take part in the study. Women cannot take part if pregnant, breastfeeding or plan to become pregnant during the study period. A cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) sub-study will be performed as a part of the study. The sub-study will be performed on a selection of sites based on their experience with CSF sampling and willingness to participate in this sub-study. The endpoints related to this sub-study are exploratory only.
The aim of the study is to investigate the optimal timing of sclerotherapy for treatment of varicose tributaries on EVLA (endogenous laser ablation) patients.
Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy for Adults with Hydrocephalus: Creating a Prognostic Model for Success - A Retrospective Multicenter Study Background: Endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) is becoming an increasingly widespread treatment for hydrocephalus, but most of the research is based on paediatric populations. The ETV Success Score (ETVSS) was developed in 2009 to predict the outcome of ETV in children. There is no similar tool for predicting outcome in adults. Objective: The purpose of this study is to create a prognostic model to predict the success of ETV for adult patients with hydrocephalus Methods: The study will adhere to the TRIPOD reporting guidelines and will be conducted as a retrospective chart review of all patients ≥18 years old treated with ETV at the participating centres between Jan 1st, 2010 and Dec 31st, 2018. Data collection is conducted locally in REDCap. Univariate analyses will be used to identify several strong predictors to be included in a multivariate logistic regression model. The model will be validated using K-fold cross validation. Discrimination will be assesses using AUROC and calibration with calibration belt plots. Expected outcomes: The ability to predict who will benefit from an ETV will allow better primary patient selection both for ETV and shunting. This would reduce additional second procedures due to primary treatment failure. A success score specific for adults could also be used as a communication tool to provide better information and guidance to patients.
Objective of the randomized controlled trial is to assess the impact of a digital intervention on hand hygiene of young children. Children in intervention kindergartens / elementary schools will see live instructions and feedback on their current hand washing activity while washing hands. We hypothesize that the digital intervention will improve hand hygiene practices of children in kindergarten / elementary school.
This is a study to determine the effectiveness of the VIZAMYL™ reader training programme in clinical practice in Europe
This is a Phase III, open-label, multicenter, randomized, two-arm study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of atezolizumab plus either lenvatinib or sorafenib versus lenvatinib or sorafenib alone in participants with locally advanced or metastatic Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) who have progressed on prior systemic treatment with atezolizumab plus bevacizumab combination.
The primary objectives of this phase 2b/3 double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study are to evaluate the efficacy and safety of clesrovimab in healthy pre-term and full-term infants. It is hypothesized that clesrovimab will reduce the incidence of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)-associated medically attended lower respiratory infection (MALRI) from Days 1 through 150 postdose compared to placebo.
This study aims to characterize the clinical management and outcomes of participants diagnosed with anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-positive advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who are being treated with alectinib in real-world clinical practice.
The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of 6 weeks of technological-assisted rehabilitation on function of upper extremity and hand in subjects with incomplete cervical spinal cord injury.
Aim of the study is to compare treatment duration and effects of orthodontic treatment of dental crowding between treatments started at different stages of mixed dentition phase. The randomized controlled trial study will be conducted in a public health care center.
