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.
To determine if the addition of radium-223 dichloride to standard treatment is able to prolong life and to delay events specific for prostate cancer which has spread to the bone, such as painful fractures or bone pain which needs to be treated with an X-ray machine.
The purpose of this study is to show that Nivolumab will improve progression free survival in subjects with strongly Stage IV or Recurrent PD-L1+ non-small cell lung cancer when compared to chemotherapy
To evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of four influenza vaccines in children 6 months to < 48 months of age
the etiology of Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD) is closely associated with the gut microbiome. The results of previous studies on the effectiveness of antibiotics and fecal macrobiota transplantation (FMT) are contradicting. Aims: to evaluate the effectiveness of wide-spectrum antibiotic regimens in acute severe colitis in an addition to standard corticosteroid therapy (UC and isolated "UC-like" Crohn's colitis). The secondary aim is to assess the outcome of FMT in those not responding to five days of therapy (in either arm). As an exploratory aim, any IBD patient with a resistant disease to at least two immunosuppressive medications, may be treated with either interventions.
The purpose of the RESPOND post market study is to collect real world clinical and device performance outcomes data with the Lotus Valve System used in routine clinical practice to demonstrate that the commercially available Lotus Valve System is a safe and effective treatment for patients with severe calcific aortic stenosis.
A phase II single arm study of carboplatin and docetaxel in treatment of first sensitive relapse of epithelial ovarian, peritoneal or tubal cancer. Hypothesis: Treatment with this combination in second line is safe and with a low frequency of neurologic side effect.
Subarachnoidal hemorrhage (SAH) is a cause of long-term disability and death. Annually about 1000 people in Finland suffer from SAH, their average age being under 50 years. SAH has a mortality rate of 12 % acutely and 40 % of patients die within a month from admission to hospital. In addition, 30 % of the surviving patients remain with neurological deficits. Most survivors of the primary insult suffer from secondary injury during the first 2-3 weeks from the insult. Despite the advances in neurosurgical and -radiological techniques and intensive care, the mortality and morbidity rates in SAH have not changed in recent years. There is still only limited understanding of the mechanisms of secondary insults causing brain injury after SAH. In this study the investigators are aiming to clarify the timescale and mechanisms contributing to the secondary insults. The investigators also explore usability of novel biomarkers to guide treatment of the patients suffering from SAH.
Adult patients, age ≥ 18 years, with clinically diagnosed mild, moderate or severe brain trauma will be asked to participate in the study. This prospective database will consist of 400 subjects with TBI, 200 from both TUCH and Cambridge Addenbrooke's Hospital. In addition, 100 controls will be recruited, with 50 from both centres.This study is a prospective clinical observational study with detailed data collecting. All patients will be treated according to the accepted, standardized, existing guidelines that are based on national and international recommendations. New treatment interventions will NOT be evaluated during the data acquisition for this study.
The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of roxadustat compared to darbepoetin alfa in the treatment of anemia in nondialysis-dependent chronic kidney disease (NDD CKD) participants.
The intention is to compare 60 patients with Achilles tendon rupture, who where randomized in 1998-2001 preoperatively to receive end-to-end suturation by the Krackow locking loop technique either without augmentation or with one central down-turned gastrocnemius fascia flap (Silfverskjöld). Postoperative care was identical for both groups; A brace allowed free active plantar flexion of the ankle postoperatively, whereas dorsiflexion was restricted to neutral for the first three weeks. Weight bearing was limited for six weeks. To compare these treatments, we use 1998 published Leppilahti-score, Rand-36 quality of life-questionnaire and MRI. Mean follow-up time is 14 years. Hypothesis; Augmentation with a down-turned gastrocnemius fascia flap does not provide better result than would end-to-end suture repair with use of the Krackow locking loop surgical technique in long-term follow up.
