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.
Iron deficiency may play a critical role in human infertility, oocyte quality and may even play a role in endometrial receptivity. By correcting iron deficiency, low ferritin values, in infertile women with intravenous iron supplementation, embryo quality and pregnancy rates may improve. The main objective is to evaluate the effect of intravenous iron supplementation on embryo quality (number of good quality blastocysts). Randomized, double blind, parallel group, cross-over study of ferric carboxymaltose compared to placebo (NaCl infusion).
This study has been set up within the framework of the INNODIA network. INNODIA is a global partnership between 31 academic institutions, 6 industrial partners, a small sized enterprise and 2 patient organizations, bringing their knowledge and experience together with one common goal: "To fight type 1 diabetes". (www.innodia.eu) The overall aim of INNODIA is to advance in a decisive way how to predict, stage, evaluate and prevent the onset and progression of type 1 diabetes (T1D). For this, INNODIA has established a comprehensive and interdisciplinary network of clinical and basic scientists, who are leading experts in the field of T1D research in Europe and UK (United Kingdom), with complementary expertise from the areas of immunology, Beta-cell biology, biomarker research and T1D therapy, joining forces in a coordinated fashion with industry partners and two foundations, as well as with all major stakeholders in the process, including regulatory bodies and patients with T1D and their families. The MELD-ATG trial is a phase II, Multi-centre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, Multi-arm parallel cohort trial. - to investigate the effect of 2.5 mg/kg og ATG on the preservation of stimulated C-peptide at 12 months compared to placebo - to identify the minimally effective dose of ATG that shows an effect on C-peptide when compared to placebo at 12 months
Researchers in this study want to learn more about the safety of the drug runcaciguat and how well it works when given at the highest dose as tolerated by the individual patient whose kidneys are not working properly and suffering at the same time from high blood sugar and/or high blood pressure and a disease of the heart and the blood vessels. Runcaciguat is a new drug under development for the improvement of kidney function. It works by activating proteins that helps to dilate blood vessels, including vessels in the kidneys. This can improve blood flow in kidney and may slow down the progression of kidney disease. This dilative effect can also influence the heart rate and blood pressure. Researchers also wants to find the best dose of the drug during the study. Participants in this study will receive either runcaciguat or placebo tablets every morning for 8 weeks. A placebo looks like the study drug but does not have any active medicine in it. On a weekly basis, the dose of the runcaciguat will be increased step by step. In total, participants will visit the doctors about 10 times, and the observation will last for about 16 weeks. Blood and urine samples will collected from the participants.
BrainICU is a prospective observational study investigating the EEG slow wave activity in comatose cardiac arrest survivors under propofol anesthesia and its association with neurological outcome.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of 2 doses or 3 doses of GSK's licenced meningococcal group B Bexsero (rMenB+OMV NZ) vaccine and of 2 doses of GSK's investigational combined meningococcal (MenABCWY) vaccine (GSK3536819A) in healthy adolescents and young adults. The immunogenicity and safety were evaluated in the study.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the durability of protection against hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection approximately 8-9 years after vaccination with Vaxelis®. This is an estimation study, and no formal hypothesis testing was performed.
The main objective of the study is to compare subjective efficacy of trans vaginal mesh and laparoscopic colposakropexy (CSP) in women with an apical prolapse. The CSP group is further divided into two sub-groups; one where the mesh fixation is only at the apical part of the vagina, and another where the fixation is also extended to the levator plane. The secondary outcomes are safety (peri- and post-surgery complications, pain, erosion), objective efficacy (simplified POP-Q), and re-operation rate. Subjective outcome also includes the assessment of sexual satisfaction. Cost-effectiveness is studied by comparing both direct costs and QALYs.
Primary Objective: To determine whether Amcenestrant (SAR439859) in combination with palbociclib improves progression free survival (PFS) when compared with letrozole in combination with palbociclib in participants with estrogen receptor positive (ER+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HER2-) advanced breast cancer who have not received any prior systemic anticancer therapies for advanced disease. Secondary Objective: - To compare the overall survival in both treatment arms. - To evaluate the objective response rate in both treatment arms. - To evaluate the duration of response in both treatment arms. - To evaluate the clinical benefit rate in both treatment arms. - To evaluate progression-free survival on next line of therapy. - To evaluate the pharmacokinetics of amcenestrant, and palbociclib. - To evaluate health-related quality of life in both treatment arms. - To evaluate the time to first chemotherapy in both treatment arms. - To evaluate safety in both treatment arms.
Purpose: Assessing nociception and sedation in mechanically ventilated patients in the ICU is challenging, with few reliable methods available for continuous monitoring. Measurable cardiovascular and neurophysiological variables, such as blood pressure, heart rate, frontal EEG, and frontal EMG, might provide a medium for sedation and nociception monitoring. The hypothesis of this explorative study is that the aforementioned variables correlate with the level of sedation, as described by the Richmond Agitation-Sedation score (RASS). Methods: Thirty adult postoperative ICU patients on mechanical ventilation and receiving intravenous sedation, excluding patients with primary neurological disorders, head injury, or need for continuous neuromuscular blockage. Continuous measurements of bispectral index (BIS), EMG power (EMG), EMG-derived Responsiveness Index (RI), averaged blood pressure variability (ARV), and Surgical Pleth Index (SPI) were tested against repeated RASS measurements, and separately against responsiveness to painful stimuli at varying RASS levels.
Troponin T (TnT) is a part of the troponin protein complex that principally exists in cardiac and skeletal muscle cells and is widely used as diagnostic biomarker for myocardial injury and, thus, myocardial infarction (MI). Elevated TnT levels can, however, be observed in the presence of other clinical conditions such as heart failure, sepsis and kidney failure and the contemporary high-sensitivity TnT test may yield false positive results when performing diagnostics for suspected MI in these patients. Recent data have demonstrated that in the presence of MI, TnT gradually undergoes fragmentation into smaller fragments. It has been suggested that in the presence of e.g. chronic kidney disease or physical exercise the released TnT is predominantly in the form of smaller fragments. However, the clinical significance of TnT fragmentation is unknown and, thus, we sought to investigate the prevalence of fragmentation of TnT in different patient cohorts.
