There are about 8563 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Sweden. 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.
Many cytotoxic drugs may harm the fertility of young women treated for cancer. The aim of the study is to investigate if the Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone agonist (GnRHa) during cancer treatment can preserve the fertility of young female cancer subjects. Approximately 300 women with newly diagnosed breast cancer and up to 200 women with newly diagnosed lymphoma, acute leukemias or sarcomas will be recruited before start of cancer treatment. The patients will be randomised in between treatment with triptorelin (experimental) or placebo (control) intramuscularly a 1:1 ratio during chemotherapy. The injections may be given once monthly or once three months depending on type of chemotherapy given. Randomisation and study drug is blinded, neither investigator, research nurse nor patient will know if it is active drug or placebo. The only person who knows is the nurse preparing the injection. Patients will be followed up to 5 years after end of treatment with physical examinations, vital signs, biochemical markers, bone mineral density exams, ultrasound for antral follicle counts and ovarian doppler flow, concomitant medications, adverse events and quality of life questionnaires.
This study is a treatment protocol with blinatumomab for infants under 1 year old who are diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia with a specific unfavorable genetic alteration. The purpose of the study is to improve the outcome of this disease in infants.
The specific aims of this study are to: - describe how many heel raises and side hops TG athletes of various ages can perform and how far they can jump, one leg at a time. - examine how calf muscle endurance and hop performance are related to the risk of new injuries in the foot, ankle, and lower leg in TG athletes. The investigators hypothesise that atletes with superior performance in the tests for muscular endurance and hop performance will report fewer injuries during the follow up period.
A randomized clinical trials with cross-over design to evaluate changes in blood pressure, renal function (creatinine, estimated glomerular filtration), LDL and HDL-cholesterol after taking antihypertensive drugs in the morning or at bedtime. Blood pressure will be estimated by ambulatory blood pressure measurements. There will be a shift in time of drug intake after 8 weeks for each participant. Approximately 100 individuals aged 40-75 years and on stable anti-hypertensive treatment and blood pressure <150/95 mm Hg will be recruited. No new drugs will be introduced during the study.
The aim of this study is to evaluate validity and reliability of a novel digital pain measure tool, the Faces Thermometer Scale (FTS). Pain is commonly reported by children and adolescents undergoing dental treatment. Pain is also a strongly contributing factor in the development of Dental Fear and Anxiety (DFA). Professionals often underestimate the pain perceived by their patients. Self-report tools are seldom used to measure pain in a clinical setting, denying child patients the possibility to communicate their pain experiences. The aim of this study is to evaluate validity and reliability of a digital self-report pain measure tool, the Faces Thermometer Scale (FTS). Children and adolescents (N=150) aged 8 to 17 years visiting a dental clinic will be asked to score their pain using three different self-report pain tools; FTS, Faces Pain Scale-Revised (FPS-R) and Color Analog Scale (CAS). The validity and reliability of FPS-R and CAS is long established and will therefore be used to evaluate the psychometric properties of FTS.
Kidney failure is common in heart transplant recipients and is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Sodium-glucose transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors were developed as antidiabetics but were subsequently shown to reduce the incidence of adverse cardiovascular outcomes and protect renal function in non-diabetics as well as diabetics. However, SGLT2 inhibitors have not been tested in clinical trials in heart transplant recipients. The DAPARHT trial is designed to assess the effect of the SGLT2 inhibitor dapagliflozin to prevent deteriorating renal function in heart transplant recipients. Secondary objectives are to assess the impact of treatment on i) weight, ii) glucose homeostasis, iii) proteinuria, iv) the number of rejections, and (v) safety and tolerability. As exploratory outcomes, the investigators will assess the effect of treatment on renal outcomes, clinical events (death, myocardial infarction, cerebral stroke, cancer, and end-stage renal disease), cardiac function, quality of life, and new-onset diabetes.
The overall aim of this study is to test the clinical benefits of an AI-based decision support tool (DST) and to evaluate how the DST affects therapists and their patients with depression, social anxiety, or panic disorder during 12 weeks of ICBT.
This is an observational study of pooled population-based samples in three Nordic countries. Country-specific data has already been analysed in previous studies in Sweden, Finland, and Norway. The primary objective is to examine the association between tobacco use, the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection, and adverse Outcomes using pooled population-based samples.
This study is open to adults with Progressive Fibrosing Interstitial Lung Diseases (PF-ILDs). People who have a form of PF-ILD other than Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) can join the study. If they already take nintedanib, they can continue treatment throughout the study. The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called BI 1015550 helps people with PF-ILD. Participants are put into 3 groups randomly, which means by chance. Participants in 2 groups take different doses of BI 1015550 as tablets twice a day. Participants in the placebo group take placebo tablets twice a day. Placebo tablets look like BI 1015550 tablets but do not contain any medicine. Participants are in the study for up to two and a half years. During the first year, they visit the study site 10 times. Afterwards, they visit the study site every 3 months. The doctors regularly test participants' lung function. The results of the lung function tests are compared between the groups. The doctors also regularly check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects.
This study is open to adults with a lung disease called Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF). People can join the study if they are 40 years or older. If they already take nintedanib or pirfenidone for their IPF, they can continue treatment throughout the study. The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called BI 1015550 helps people with IPF. Participants are put into 3 groups randomly, which means by chance.
