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 main objective of this trial is to compare change in weekly average daily pain score (ADPS) from baseline to Week 13 in subjects receiving either dose of DS-5565 versus placebo. Weekly ADPS is based on daily pain scores reported by the participant that best describes his or her worst pain over the previous 24 hours.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the role of atrial fibrillation (AF) and its treatment in relation to thromboembolic events (stroke, and transient ischemic attacks) and intracranial hemorrhage. Primary Outcome Measures: - Incidence and timing of intracranial complications (stroke,TIA, bleedings) in relation to diagnosis and anticoagulation treatment of AF during the study period; comparison of complications between those with and without anticoagulation treatment according to CHADSVASc score. Secondary Outcome Measures: - The effect of anticoagulation pauses and INR level on stroke and bleeding risk; strokes within 30 days after anticoagulation pause and the prevalence of stroke and intracranila bleeding in relation to INR level < 2, 2-3 and >3. - Trauma as a risk factor for intracranial bleeding: percentage and risk factors for intracranial bleeding with or without trauma. Type of preceding trauma and type of intracranial bleeding. - The time relation between diagnosis of AF and type of intracranial complications: Kaplan Meier analysis of thrombotic (Stroke/TIA) and intracranial bleeding complications after 1st diagnosis of AF in patients with and without anticoagulation - The risk of stroke and intracranial bleeding in relation to CHADSVASc score, HAS-BLED score and anticoagulation/antithrombotic treatment - Prognosis of stroke and intracranial bleeding: 30-day mortality after stroke and intracerebral bleeding in patients with and without anticoagulation - Factors related to underuse of anticoagulation treatment. Data on reasons for not starting or stopping aticoagulation in those with indication of oral anticoagulation - Operations and procedure as risk factor for stroke: Frequency and type of operations performed < 30 days before stroke. Data on length of perioperative pause in anticoagulation and use of bridging therapy and timiing of stroke are collected. - Cardioversions as a risk factor for stroke: Frequency of stroke and TIA < 30 days after cardioversion in relation to use of anticoagulation and CHADSVASc score - The risk of stroke and intracranial bleeding in relation to type of AF (permanent, persistent, paroxysmal) and concomitant carotid disease Estimated Enrollment: 6000 patients.
The aim of this study is to establish diagnostic and predictive biomarkers for patients with suspected acute stroke, that are transported by EMS as candidates for thrombolytic treatment. The study focuses on the ultra acute phase, <4.5 hours from symptom onset, including the prehospital setting. Analyses will include known biomarkers (e.g. GFAP, NR2 peptide) and a discovery phase for novel markers. Patient outcome will be evaluated at 3 month using the modified Rankin Scale (mRS).
In this study, the investigators aim to establish the incidence of enteric fluoroquinolone resistant bacteria in a contemporary clinical cohort. This incidence will be studied by taking a rectal swab sample from all consenting patients coming in for prostate biopsies. The information gained from this study will be used to determine whether antibiotic prophylactic practices need to be updated in their clinic. The investigators aim to enroll 200 patients and patient recruitment is estimated to take place between May 2014 and August 2014. The study is estimated to end in May 2016.
To evaluate the usability of positron emission tomography imaging as a novel outcome measure in multiple sclerosis studies
The aim of the study is to evaluate the long-term effects of a prescription of exercise versus a group-based training program on aerobic fitness, muscle strength and metabolic variables in subjects with poor physical fitness. The participants are further stratified for a family-history of type 2 diabetes. The number of subjects in each group of intervention is planned to be 150, aged 30-70 years and non-diabetic. Intervention: All study subjects take part in two individual sessions for exercise prescription aiming at moderate exercise of 30 minutes at least 5 days a week. The prescription group perform exercise by themselves, while the training group will be offered supervised physical training, including both endurance training and training in gym twice a week during 12 months. The subjects will be followed up at 1, 2, 3 and 5 years after the basal visit. Methods of follow-up: At the study visits physical fitness will be measured by a 2 km walking test, glucose tolerance by oral glucose tolerance test with measurement of glucose and insulin. Lipids will be measured. Questionnaires will be used to follow lifestyle, physical activity, cardiovascular disease and medication. In the training group 30 subjects with and 30 subjects without a family history of type 2 diabetes will participate in a sub-study including muscle- and fat-biopsy before the start of the study, after 1 and 5 years.
The study is performed to assess the efficacy and safety of different doses of BAY1002670 in subjects with uterine fibroids. The dose-response relationship will be evaluated. Further, the study aims to establish a population pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic relationship for BAY1002670 in subjects with uterine fibroids. To assess the efficacy of BAY1002670 the interchangeability of menstrual pictogram and alkaline hematin method for the judgement of menstrual blood loss will be assessed.
Phase 3, 2-arm, randomized, open label trial. Patients will be randomized to receive bosutinib or imatinib for the duration of the study.
The evidence linking chocolate with lowered blood pressure has been observed. However, the interventions have been short, at most 4 weeks. The aim of this study is to find out if the habitual consumption of dark chocolate for 8 weeks has an effect on blood pressure. Also, more insight to the mechanisms linking chocolate to individual healt-responses is needed.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of KHK6640, given as a single dose and as multiple doses in patients with Prodromal Alzheimer's Disease (AD) or Mild to Moderate AD.
