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 was to evaluate the effect of treatment with ABT-450 co-formulated with ritonavir and ABT-267 (ABT-450/r/ABT-267) and ABT-333; 3-DAA regimen, with or without ribavirin (RBV) in adults with chronic hepatitis C virus genotype 1 (HCV GT1) infection.
This study aims to investigate differences in digestion rates and stomach problems caused by pasteurized and homogenized milk compared with raw milk in healthy adults by ingestible capsule that measures pH and pressure, diary of symptoms, blood glucose and triacylglycerol levels and plasma cytokine levels.
The main purposes for conducting the study are firstly to assess immunological non-inferiority of the MenABCWY vaccine, administered according to 0, 2 month schedule to healthy adolescents 10 to 18 years of age, to those of the licensed rMenB+OMV vaccine (Bexsero™) in terms of hSBA GMTs at one month after the second vaccination, secondly to give the flexibility for the national vaccination program by showing the safety and immunogenicity of MenABCWY administrated according to four different vaccination schedules and additionally to evaluate a potential benefit of the 3-dose vaccination series.
Insufficient intake of vitamin D is a public health problem, affecting about 40% of the Finnish population in the winter. Vitamin D has a wide range of health effects: in addition to its effect on bone, it is known to affect inflammatory response among other things. The sources of vitamin D are the synthesis in the skin as well as diet and dietary supplements. In Finland and in Northern Europe vitamin D is formed in the skin only from March to October. This alone is not sufficient to cover the need for year-round, because vitamin D storage is used in a few months. During the winter months the only sources of vitamin D are diet and vitamin preparations. Current vitamin D recommendations are usually based on studies in white population. However, there can be a difference in the need of vitamin D and in vitamin D metabolism between different population groups. More research evidence is needed from the northern countries. The aim of this study is to evaluate the vitamin D need in Somali immigrant population and in original Finnish population. The hypothesis is that the Somalis need more vitamin D to exceed the serum 25(OH)D concentration of 50 nmol/L than the original Finnish population.
The purpose of this study is to assess the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, efficacy and safety of CAM2032 q1m versus Eligard, in patients with prostate cancer. All patients will receive leuprolide acetate administered subcutaneously once monthly during 3 months.
Laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair is becoming increasingly popular mainly because of short-term advantages compared to open hernioplasties with mesh. In the prevailing economic climate, the total costs of treatment is a subject of intense research. This study is designed to evaluate the results of open and laparoscopic inguinal hernia repairs, with a special emphasis in costs of treatment, complications and convalescence.
The research aims of the CENTER-TBI study are to: 1. better characterize Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) as a disease and describe it in a European context, and 2. identify the most effective clinical interventions for managing TBI. Specific aims 1. To collect high quality clinical and epidemiological data with repositories for neuro-imaging, DNA, and serum from patients with TBI. 2. To refine and improve outcome assessment and develop health utility indices for TBI. 3. To develop multidimensional approaches to characterisation and prediction of TBI. 4. To define patient profiles which predict efficacy of specific interventions ("Precision Medicine"). 5. To develop performance indicators for quality assurance and quality improvement in TBI care. 6. To validate the common data elements (CDEs) for broader use in international settings, and to develop a user-friendly web based data entry instrument and case report form builder. 7. To develop an open database compatible with Federal Interagency Traumatic Brain Injury Research (FITBIR). 8. To intensify networking activities and international collaborations in TBI. 9. To disseminate study results and management recommendations for TBI to health care professionals, policy makers and consumers, aiming to improve health care for TBI at individual and population levels. 10. To develop a "knowledge commons" for TBI, integrating CENTER-TBI outputs into systematic reviews.
This study evaluated change over time in neurocognitive testing in patients receiving statin therapy in combination with evolocumab (AMG 145), compared with patients receiving statin therapy in combination with placebo.
The purpose of this clinical study is to test the hypothesis that market released Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) devices which contain the AdaptivCRT® (aCRT) algorithm have a superior outcome compared to standard CRT devices in CRT indicated patients with normal atrio-ventricular (AV) conduction and left bundle branch block (LBBB).
Purpose of the study is to test efficacy and safety of BAY98-7196 intravaginal ring as a new treatment option for patients with endometriosis-associated pelvic pain
